Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

    So have I and everyone else here. But only you chide folks for using online resources as well like the hypocrite you are.

    No you haven't or else you would have noticed I put stuff in my posts from other sources as well while suggesting they were from Frank's piece and you thought they were from the article.

    How did the subsequent list of incidents relate to the Jews persecuting anyone?

    As for Williams, what precise comment by her leads you to remark that she "admits that much of her assessment is based on reading between the lines"?
    [/QUOTE]

    Ah yes - I omitted the time reference.
    Prior to 64 CE - Persecution of the Christians by the Jews.

    Were you aware that you can actually buy books?

    An article you pretended to have access to for some strange reason. I don't know if I'll ever understand why you didn't say you didn't just have access to a 20-year old article instead of pretending you did. I mean, what was the point?

    So - some sort of virtue signalling in H_A's objections?

    It appears to be just one of the many things she finds to gripe about when she can't find anything else.

    One of the clues is when she has wall of text formatting codes in her reply. I even made a screen capture of it once

    And I'm very open about using online sources -- even to the point if I have the book and it is also online I'll use the online version which I can copy directly from rather than having to write something out by hand.

    As I explained previously:

    I've played Dungeons and Dragons on and off since the 80s. What does that have to do with anything? Well, nowadays it is primarily online when I play. Not video games, but with other players I know. Generally I end up "DMing" (running the game) largely because everyone likes the adventures I usually run. Some times I have to slap something together quick and having every issue of "Dungeon" magazine (a magazine that printed short adventures for the game) printed and several dozen old adventure modules to "borrow" pieces from still allows for an enjoyable time.

    So what does that have to do with anything? When I'm borrowing bits and pieces from multiple adventures I don't dig out the various modules and magazine issues I had in mind to use. I go online to various sites (The Trove is a current favorite) and download a pdf version from which I can copy and snip from bits from.

    Why? Because it is so much easier than tediously writing out things by hand.

    The exact same thing goes here whether I'm posting in Apologetics discussing theological matters or in Nat Sci discussing science. Unfortunately, most of my science texts that I rely on are too current to be found on the interwebz so when I quote from them I have to do so by hand.


    Unfortunately, it appears my favorite online source for D&D material has been shut down.

    However, when my interlocutor relies primarily on Wiki articles along with what he can glean from sections provided by Google Books or general online sites I recommend he actually undertakes some serious reading regarding the topic upon he affects to have some in-depth knowledge.
