[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha! Again you fail to respond, and again it is because:

Translation: I do not wish to answer.
Reason: If I answer truthfully, I will have to say "because that is ridiculous , there is no evidence or reason to believe an orange bovine controls the universe" showing when it comes to that belief you are atheist, just like me. Which is good. And logical. And sensible.

As for your claim that Jesus is not dead, please provide evidence.  Because if not, them I claim Marx is living in a 55-and over community in central Florida.[/quote]

*wakes up after falling asleep during your post*

People aren’t responding to you because your analogy is beyond dumb. Did the orange bovine leave/inspire any scripture, promulgate any wise teachings, live an exemplary life for humans to imitate, or perform any miracles? No? Then it’s beyond dumb. [/quote]

(yelling because it appears necessary) AGAIN, IT WASN'T MY ANALOGY. A BELIEVER (you?) BROUGHT IT UP.

As for your other claims, please provide evidence.

You won't, because you don't have any.

And you won't answer the same question about the orange bovine because you don't have any evidence for that either.  You accept that, and that is why you don't believe in the orange bovine.

They are equal.[/quote]

Who the heck cares who brought the bovine up? Seriously! Why are you obsessed with that?

Anyway, you totally missed the point. Go back and re-read. Scripture and a coherent path for living are evidence to believers. Also faith, as others on this thread have explained to you. [/quote]

Because you keep calling it MY ANALOGY.

Scripture and a "coherent path for living" (whatever that is) are by no means evidence of anything for anyone.  You don't apply that low standard to any other aspect of your life.  And yes I understand faith.

My point was: A believer made an atheist's point by bringing up a ridiculous supernatural example (the orange bovine).  If that example is ridiculous and not to be believed, why is any other supernatural claim any different?

It isn't.[/quote]

OK, you’re trying to play some sort of gotcha game with that pp. It’s just more of your childishness. NOBODY CARES, besides you, who brought the bovine up.

Stop lying:

[quote]03/27/2020 18:05 Faith isn’t an excuse: it’s a reason.

You don’t need excuses for your beliefs. You are allowed to have your own opinions and beliefs.

If I thought an orange bovine controlled the universe, it’s my choice and faith. You have zero say in it. Moo.[/quote]

Not me who brought it up.  A believer.  So answer question that uses your example. And you are 100% right - it IS a "gotcha".

[quote]Scripture and tradition are indeed evidence for many people, if not for you. As whoever brought the bovine up knows very well, there is no scripture for it. You don’t ever seem to have an answer for that...[/quote]

So everything for which there is a book is to be believed?  Also, wouldn't that mean that the believer's first postulation: that "[i]If I thought an orange bovine controlled the universe, it’s my choice and faith. You have zero say in it. Moo."[/i] is untrue, since you are not aware of any scripture for it?

[quote]You’re welcome to your atheism, it doesn’t bother me. What bothers me, and apparently others here (yes, more than one of us thinks you’re boring) is that you trash and derail religion threads with your boring, childish nonsense. I’ve said many times, DCUM needs to upgrade its atheists. I’ve had really interesting debates with atheist friends who actually know a few things about religion and aren’t all about silly analogies and gotcha games.[/quote]

I am asking questions.  You can answer them, ignore them, or respond boorishly and with insults like "yawn", as you seem to prefer.  Your call.  I'm good.  I'll respond the way I see fit and ask questions I think are relevant to the discussion.

I'll finish here by pointing out one big difference between you and me: if I saw evidence, I would change my beliefs.  Without regrets.
