Protestantism

[bluehillside Retd.]

Fallacy Boy,

Absolutely incorrect.
Where have I suggested a natural explanation?

And WHAMMO! he's straight in with the fallacy of the straw man.

A fine effort to decimate your opponents in Fallacy Top Trumps.

Now try responding to what I actually said though...

If you want to go ahead......... but at this stage in the game it is you who will either be unable to suggest a naturalistic explanation or be forced to offer what you've called a false binary.

Oooh, the fallacy of judgmental language. You haven't tried that one for a while, but it's only three-pointer in FTT I'm afraid.

It's not that I've "called" it a binary choice, but rather that you think it is a binary choice - that's your false binary fallacy. The third option - "don't know" - tells you nothing whatever I'm afraid about conjectures you may have about a supposed "supernatural". 

Good luck with that.

With what – falsifying your mistakes? There's no luck required.

And with you left well and truly up shit creek sans padelle I will bid you a good day.

Aw, the delusional cry of the loser through the ages. Gonna be nice today - ask that nice Philippina nurse at the Bide a Wee While Home for the Terminally Mendacious to let you park you bath chair on the west lawn without your rug today. You'll get a nice tan that way.

I have plenty of times.

"It must be the one true church because otherwise I'd be wrong" doesn't count as a reason.

Listen mate, don't waste your breath. Paganism is so much more fun.

Apart from the word 'mate', Ad_O being no-ones mate as that would imply an, all-be-it loosest possible, same-sex relationship, you never spoke truer words!

Bring on the mead and the naked dancing and free-for-all-fornication in the woods!

I know everything there is to know about paganism I've read several Dennis Wheatley books, what more does one need to know.

That Dennis Wheatley books are about Satanism and not Paganism?

Some of them are.

Dennis Wheatley knew about as much about paganism as my foreskin, continually confusing it (as Owlswing says) with Satanism. Try Prof. Ronald Hutton. You don't need to be a believer (I'm not) to grasp this basic difference. That little I do know.

There's just one big draw back with that idea.

Did you think of that all by yourself or did someone give you a tip off?

You can try to take the edge off a belting joke.......It's no skin off my nose.

Does anger at my razor wit make you turn red....or are you just Pre Puce?

OK, I'll put this one in before we (try) to get back on topic (some hope) When aforensic examination of Tutankhamun's remains took place in the mid '70's, itt was noted that his penis had been embalmed and now looked very - er - proud. After several x-rays, skin samples, etc, were taken, the remains were returned to KV 62 to be covered by the lid of the outer coffin, leaving the king in situ. However, not all of him was returned....yep.....a rather significant bit was 'misplaced'. Academic journals, in one of their less turgid moments, sported the following headline..... "Who's been silly with King Tut's willy?" OK, back on topic.......

With Vlad posting you got no chance . . . .

Foolish as this might be, on the subject of the thread ad_orientem posted that he sometimes thought of what he views as protestants as following the idea of a demiurge. I was wondering, ad_o, if this in some way relates to the idea that acts are 'looked down' on in your viewing protestant theology since there is an emphasis on the complete fallen nature of man?

[Anchorman]

I don't know how many Orthodox Christians share ad_o's condemnatory attitude - all I can say that the chap who tried to thump NT greek into me at Uni, and later became the Orthodox Archbishop of 'the UK and Thyatira' was a bit less....er....rigid. He seemed to see those of us who professed a faih in Christ as Christian, rather than heretic. (There were two atheists in the class....one of whom is now a Methodist minister in South Sudan)

[bluehillside Retd.]

Anchs,

(There were two atheists in the class....one of whom is now a Methodist minister in South Sudan)

Obviously not a true atheist then 

[Rhiannon]

Yes, definitely needs to work more on his atheism, that one.
