"I Doubted God After The Paris Attacks"

[BeRational]

See, M47.  So, it's you, "done up like a kipper," but by yourself!!   

No, you have been shown to be inconsistent in your approach to bad language.

[BashfulAnthony]

No, you have been shown to be inconsistent in your approach to bad language.

Mind your own business.  You don't know what you're talking about.  I said I would condemn any body who used bad language, and I have.  What's inconsistent about that?  Look up the word and learn what it means.  Incidentally, if you think I spend my time searching for swearers, then you are even more off the mark than I thought.. It's only the sad atheists who actually spend time looking for opportunities to score cheap points.

Not sure what is hypocritical about saying that everyone has different experiences of life and that arguing that one or more sets of experience are more or less valid than others is a fallacy.  That doesn't mean that one can't believe that Christianity (or any other philosophy) is the best way for humanity.  It just means that stating that other beliefs are invalid (something I've never done) is wrong.

If you choose to delude yourself that way. But you are wrong and hypocritical. I won't be supplying any evidence because this works fine for you when you are arguing any particular point. So what is sauce for the goose.....

No you have not, and that was the point Shaker was making.

You have been shown to be hypocritical and inconsistent.

[Shaker]

Not surprised; you've been far too busy singing the 'argumentum ad ...' song.   

Too many reasons to do so, alas, most of them yours.

[Shaker]

  How sad!  I wonder how long it took to trawl through to find that

A few seconds. That's what the search function is for.

only for me to remind you that I would condemn anyone who used bad language.

Except Vlad, as anybody can see who follows the link I provided. You can't plead ignorance (well, not on this, anyway) or try to fob us off with the excuse that you didn't see it, as you quoted Vlad's post. Again, it's all there in the link.

Which makes you a hypocrite.

Not worth arguing:  you just post from the same, tired, template, every time.

[Shaker]

See, M47.

Seen it. It's a lie.

I assume that you concede that you do NOT in fact treat all posters equally when it comes to the use of certain words?

That is the only conclusion possible.

I wish BA would shut up about swearing, which is his favourite hobby horse! I wasn't going to mention this, but seeing he keeps on and on about the topic, I makes no apology for mentioning it. During one of our phone calls, when I was in personal communication with BA, he used the swear word 'B*GGER'. Yes he apologised for doing so, but it still came out of his mouth!

It is not, but then it's you saying it.

If I did, and I cannot either recollect it, or accept your honesty in relating it, then even such a saintly person such as myself can be excused one slip.  Though I doubt I said it.

Bugger isn't swearing... short for bugger lugs and cheeky term often used to refer to a  moderately mischievous child.

I dare say you have said worse when you have hurt yourself...

[Shaker]

Bugger isn't swearing... short for bugger lugs and cheeky term often used to refer to a  moderately mischievous child.

Now do you want to know the actual etymology?

Funny I always thought b*gger was a swear word! Anyway the point was that BA used that word, and has now conveniently forgotten doing so!

Just as conveniently as you have forgotten your prayers, which are still online.  Yes?

A Prayer

Dear Deity,

If you exist, why are you not doing your job properly by reining in some of your nuttier followers, whose hypocrisy knows no bounds?

They whinge, whine and rant about us wicked non believers, yet they seem unable to understand that their behaviour is pretty awful! Of course they could be lacking in the intellectual department, which seems increasingly likely, and I suppose one should have pity for them, if that is the case.

Anyway there you have it, get off your backside and sort them out!

Amen aka Tat ta for now!

Ah, so you are still a believer really!!

God is a very general word. Lot depends on what you mean by it.

If we believe in a personal guardian angel who is duty bound to protect us and ensure that we live the longest possible lives with maximum comfort possible and without any pain or loss....then it is true that our experiences in the world are at variance with this belief.

God is not a holiday resort manager.

How about god isn't?
