Bringing Christianity into disrepute!

Similarly, you could be asked the opposite/reverse, Maeght.

I could be, and do not mind answering as I did above.

YES I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG.

Can theists say the same?

[BeRational]

E..n..d   o..f

Run away you scared little man.

You cannot answer the question, so you FAIL.

I think that just about every theist on the board has said, at some time or other, that they could be wrong, BR.  Thanks for being only about the 4th non-theist here to state that you could be wrong.

There's me, BR and Maeght - who's the other one?

Am I one of the four, I have often stated I could be wrong?

[Shaker]

OK, that's the four then I guess.

[Nearly Sane]

Can I find out any non theists who have said they couldn't be wrong?

I can name some theists who have said they can't be wrong and know they are right. Alan Burns, for example, who is a charming lovely fellow but takes that position.

Good point.

[Nearly Sane]

Note there are many theists who happily admit to being open to bring wrong. People who don't if whatever belief scare the forty coloured shite out of me.

[Sassy]

As usual more amusing garbage from Sass who hasn't a clue what she is on about where I am concerned!

On the contrary... everyone knows what I am on about where you are concerned.
Having posted with you over 10 years and heard all the discourse  you have thrown out about your life history and religion... it would be difficult for anyone not know what I am on about as far as you are concerned.

Nothing amusing or garbage you are as usual in denial about all truth.

Your 'truth' you mean? Oh Sass you are so funny!

Let me add another to your list. I spent most of my life believing in some sort of 'spiritual' dimension to life - early on in a Christian context, later on more Buddhist, but for most of the time believing in a kind of Shavian 'Life Force'. I let go of all that sort of thing probably twenty years ago - I no longer believe in any sort of 'god'. But to echo BeRational (and also in capitals) - I COULD BE COMPLETELY WRONG.

The "I KNOW" brigade are only really scary if they gain social or political power, surely? In that regard, I don't think the eccentric religious views of one or two around here would scare a maiden aunt, since the individuals in question hold such unorthodox (and indeed markedly divergent) beliefs. I don't know quite how 'right' non-believers such as bluehillside and Shaker think they are - but I certainly have no fears for society from them, since they both seem to have thought through their philosophies right to the bedrock (which is more than I can say for most of the believers I've come across).

Run away you scared little man.

E..n..d...o..f     Again!!

[Nearly Sane]

I don't think you need power to be scary, or rather, I don't think you need major power to be so. People who are certain are capable of being persuaded and persuading others to do almost anything in the name of their certainty. It contributes to a them and us approach, so that even say a lovely chap like Alan Burns thinks Rhiannon is a worse person for no longer being Christian - I find that scary.

Unsettling, certainly. He should pay more attention to what Rhiannon actually says, I think, instead of trying to fit her into his dubious paradigms.

So stay away if you are too much of a coward to answer

[BashfulAnthony]

I'm not staying away at your behest!  I'm simply trying to help you understand that I don't wish to go on with the discussion.

You have not understood.

You FAIL the comprehension test!

So you do wish to continue.

You must accept that you are closed minded. As long as you do that you are at least honest.

Last try:  e..n..d....o..f      !!!!

[savillerow]

BR it's funny it's your fault when someone is internally challenged. You are right, to me that's the big honest question.  Not trying to catch anyone out, just want to know how someone thinks.

[BeRational]

Make it your last.

You are proved to be closed minded.

Never say you are not.

For your information:  we have been over this interminably, and he had an answer. I have no intention of being rail-roaded by silly insults into going over the same ground once more.  His persistence is odd.

You have never answered!

Try again.

Could you be wrong about the existence of your God?

Yes or No?

[BashfulAnthony]

Yes or No?

I answered that, and you know it.  What's your problem?  Don't bother to answer:  I have no more to say.
