[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then there are the rhetorical games played by some (not all) atheists on this forum.

I’m not even thinking of the childish ad homonyms. Those are tedious but easily ignored.

As just one example, pretending to misunderstand empirically demonstrable things, like the words in bible passages. I’m thinking in particular of the recent “The Bible is immoral” thread, where someone posted a passage from Matthew about the New Testament relationship to supposedly “immoral” parts of the Old Testament. This particular atheist spent pages misinterpreting it and pretending not to understand it. Note: all anybody asked of her was to try her darndest to understand 4 simple sentences consisting of very short words—nobody expected her to believe it. Dumb as a brick or deliberately obtuse? You tell me.[/quote]

Not only are you insulting again, you are lying - again.

You were asked for evidence as to why the quotes from matthew did not refer to the old testament, and you provided none but responded:

[quote]"It’s obvious on its face of you read carefully—or if you read it at all, which apparently you haven’t. Nobody is going to let you troll them like this."[/quote]

To help those not reading the whole thread, here is one of the important quotes:

[quote]“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17) [/quote]

So, I guess we do agree.  It IS obvious on it's face if you read it carefully.

Stop being dishonest.

I’m a different poster. I quoted an entire passage from Matthew on that thread. That’s the passage you pretended for pages to misunderstand. But obviously you couldn’t have done that if the passage wasn’t there in the first place.

You’re also quoting the “do not think...” passage, which btw was quoted *to follow up on the Matthew passage you claim wasn’t there (with the result that your post just now is a long non sequitur)* out of context. The context was explained to you in that thread, but are you also conveying that context here? No, you’re continuing to quote it out of context.

Who’s dishonest?[/quote]
