[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote][quote]You know that secularism existed for centuries before the birth of Christ, right?  So, fail. See: Ancient Greece for starters.

Doesn’t make them any less Christian principles. And in both Greece and Rome the state funded temples. Your point?[/quote][/quote]

Uhhh.. yes it does.  Are you saying any idea that is also in the bible that the bible gets credit for?  Sorry, that's not how ideas work.  Those ideas existed for centuries, they are not "christian principles".  They are "human principles".  You can't just claim them because you want to and ignore the earlier sources.

[quote]Do you ever get tired of your “fight me” approach and generally being a pugnacious jerk? [/quote]

Do you ever get tired of resorting to ad hominem when you don't have a salient point?  I can get how that must be frustrating.

[quote]but then of course you declare victory based on the lack of responses … [/quote]

Yes, that is generally how debates work.

[quote]because nobody wants to engage with pugnacious jerks. Hmmm, maybe a different approach would net you more real discussion. That is, if you were genuinely interested in discussion, which you’re not. Bye.[/quote]

Yes I am, and despite your ad hominems, I am doing exactly that.[/quote]

The sleazy logic here would be embarrassing for you if you had any self-awareness.

- the separation of church and state may have existed in Ancient Greece but that takes nothing away from it being a Christian principle too. It’s like arguing, the ancient Greeks wore white, therefore white wedding gowns aren’t a modern custom. Very strange and patently dishonest argumentation.

- people don’t reply to you because you’re obnoxious and you argue in bad faith. Not because you’re right. You can’t even see that your claim that “silence means I win” proves this exact point about your dishonest rhetorical style.[/quote]

To other posters: immediate pp has no knowledge of why people don't reply to people, but likes to call people names like 'obnoxious' and 'dishonest'.  They present themselves as being religious, but it's doubtful that there is any religion - certainly not Christianity - that condones such behavior.

They are attention seeking and while they are receiving additional attention here, it's only in the hopes that this post will discourage further interaction. [/quote]
