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.

    And yet, I've had similar interactions over the years. Your friend is trying to pretend that atheism leads to the best society possible and is bending the facts to suit his beliefs vs letting the facts speak for themselves. The reality is, many countries, on that list, rank in all kinds of ways (some with a higher range of atheist/agnostics than Norway's has), so it is pretty obvious that the amount of atheist/agnostics that a society has would have zero bearing on it's position on the HDI list. The question becomes; why does he keep saying and imply it does when it is clear that it doesn't?

    On the other hand, your friend Tassman is misrepresenting his link about the religious beliefs of Norway. It lumps atheist/agnostics into the same category (something Tazzy leaves out) and it gives a range of 31-72%. Is it very honest not to report those facts?

My experiences with him are that he prefers to stone-wall and play sophist with people, and his arguments have no real point to them.

    The worst exchange I can remember was a LONG time ago when he used to do 301 almost everyday. He was discussing metaphysics with me, and it just got more hysterical how little he knew. Nick actually started using Aristotelian words like "thatness", "thisness", and "whatness" which, I'm sorry, just made me laugh out loud for real, since it wasn't even in the context of proper English.

    I stopped debating him after that.
    And that proves your claims because...

    Besides, I would think misrepresenting the number of atheist, in Norway, would be far more of a serious problem than using archaic terms would be.

    You need some help with the English language. Check the definition again carefully and read it slowly. It does not mean the events never occurred at all. It means . . . 'having no foundation or basis in fact.' There are many things that may be true, but lack a foundation or basis in fact. It is the lack of verifiable evidence that negates a claim without a foundation or basis in fact.

    Chawnus's claim may be true

    So you seem to think, whereas I don't know what you're talking about. I think you've confused me with someone else and seeing as you can't document your claim there's nothing to discuss.

Do it long enough and he too will accuse you of having a mental illness he can't show or prove you have. Keep up the good work (and if you want to watch something really fun, just tune into the Ireland recovering from theocracy thread on civics and watch Seer/Apologia Phoenix misrepresent his own source material and overstate his case, over and over again).
