Like I said, sometimes he just says No, and means it.  :wink:
Looks like I've come full circle.

My position is that god doesn't exist, and as such, these inane utterances from the dumbest among us go unanswered.   :yes:

an interesting position.  completely irrefutable.  however, by the same logic, one could take the position that the moon doesn't exist, and be just as right.

(one could argue that the position "wheather god exists or not has no bearing on how i choose to live my life" would be better)

I think he's talking about God saying No to another 15 or 20 years of living.

Really?  I like to see you expound on that.

simple.  all i have to do is reject any evidence you provide for the existence of the moon.

nobody can prove a negative, so to ask me to prove the moon doesn't exist is futile.

Falwell no doubt died from self-inflicted methane poisoning.  He was a gas bag, a hate monger and charlatan.  If there was a god, he didn't act quickly enough to take the bastard out.  Now we have hundreds of moron, christian robots with law degrees in the gov't and elsewhere. 

Fuck him.

Now to the mystery of god; if you find some god a mystery that can't be fanthomed, then you are right up there in IQ with Fartwell's lawyers.

Fallacy: Appeal to Ridicule



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also Known as: Appeal to Mockery, The Horse Laugh.

Description of Appeal to Ridicule
The Appeal to Ridicule is a fallacy in which ridicule or mockery is substituted for evidence in an "argument." This line of "reasoning" has the following form:


X, which is some form of ridicule is presented (typically directed at the claim).
Therefore claim C is false.
This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because mocking a claim does not show that it is false. This is especially clear in the following example: "1+1=2! That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!"

It should be noted that showing that a claim is ridiculous through the use of legitimate methods (such as a non fallacious argument) can make it reasonable to reject the claim. One form of this line of reasoning is known as a "reductio ad absurdum" ("reducing to absurdity"). In this sort of argument, the idea is to show that a contradiction (a statement that must be false) or an absurd result follows from a claim. For example: "Bill claims that a member of a minority group cannot be a racist. However, this is absurd. Think about this: white males are a minority in the world. Given Bill's claim, it would follow that no white males could be racists. Hence, the Klan, Nazis, and white supremists are not racist organizations."

Since the claim that the Klan, Nazis, and white supremists are not racist organizations is clearly absurd, it can be concluded that the claim that a member of a minority cannot be a racist is false.

Examples of Appeal to Ridicule

"Sure my worthy opponent claims that we should lower tuition, but that is just laughable."

"Support the ERA? Sure, when the women start paying for the drinks! Hah! Hah!"

"Those wacky conservatives! They think a strong military is the key to peace!"

that all ya got?

Gee, thanks, Dan. I like you, too. I'll just pop on an old Blood Sweat & Tears album, vinyl no less, and contemplate our friendship while I sing along with "And when I die"

I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell.
Yes only my dying will tell.
Yeah, only my dying will tell.


But I'm so damned stupid I can't remember the words.

God is great! He just needs to hit the drawing board again.
In a pretty good place now.
