The ABSENCE of your untestable scientific method data does not make your contention a fact.

Not actually, in fact the opposite. This is from the Sydney Morning Herald book review of Richard Dawkins new book, The God Delusion:

Believers say Faith can't be examined emprically. They say you can't find God by reading science books and wieghing facts. Maybe not, Dawkins would counter, but you can find against him.

The problem with you argument there is that the lack of proof somehow confirms the existence of God. It doesn't. It shows there is no proof to support him. Saying "Buuuuut that's the way God wants it" is equally silly when evidence arises with increasing frequency which does not support Biblical claims.

It seems damning evidence can be found against the existence of a deity, but none for him. Tell me, why does you God feel the need to have a world in which the evidence points away from the deity and nothing but blind faith towards?

Woops, double post.

***Really? That's very interesting. Do you have any statistics to support your contention? Would you please cite them for our internet audience? Your cooperation on this request would be greatly appreciated.

Your friend,

Marchello

It was a gerenal observation. Usually member who say that get restricted.

Would you like to counter my posts or are you just interested in flaming?

Marchello

I do believe that is a rather childish approach to the whole deal. Perhaps the following will inspire you to contribute rather then impotantly cry out "well ban me then, see if I care!"

Though they do say Christians often have a persecution complex

***You just have to learn to stop speaking in "glittering generalities." You spoke an untruth and attributed to me something that you allege is usually spoken by 13 year old kids. All I asked for is for you to prove what you attributed to them. You can't...and that's the name of that toon.

You are kidding right, you really expect facts for a statement like that, I guess I have to be saved and have the holy flowing through me to understand your logic.

Well, Marchello is now taking some time off.

While it is true that lack of scientific data does not make the claim "God does not exist" Fact, it is also true that Biblical rhetoric does not make the claim "God is absolute truth because he simply is" fact either ❌

Let us presuppose that the assumed premise you have stated is correct. One could still not logically presume that the preclusive predisposition of 'scientific data' being valid, would logically support the conclusive post-disposition of 'God does not exist.'

Logically, XMarksthespot has a much more valid point than yourself, because atleast X can use credible data to support it's beleif that God does not exist, while all you can use is an outdated book and a barrage of insults.

Congratulations on commiting the Logic Fallacy of Appeal to Popularity. 🙄

One cannot presume any data as being 'credible' strictly based on the assumption of it being supported by a biased majority, i.e. aethiest scientific researchers and journalists.

Moreover, 'XMarksthespot' has no more credibility in his beliefs than any Christian. Specifically when the argument presented against 'credibility', exclusively uses scientific research conducted by those of popular-Humanistic opinion.

sock?

😂 Great name "The Barbarian"...fitting.

It was a unfair comparison...
It can't be proven by science, it's not a scientific law. I never said that the evidence concludes that god is nonexistent.

Thank You Ush.....the Blind Raging Hatred that spawns from his posts was quite disturbing. I hope he learns to clean up his act.

Ush, you might be asking yourself "Who is this now?". Well, it's Whob's aggressivly extended middle finger. Telling you exactly what you can do with your position as a moderator and what we can all do with this forum.

😂 Poetic.

Yes.

He insulted the hell out of both me and Captain Fantastic numerous times, as well as insulting some other people.

He has also called Homosexuals "disgusting" and "deserving of going to Hell" repeatedly.

When Ushgarak threatened to ban him, Marcello yelled " GO AHEAD ! BAN ME!"

Dude, he deserved it.

i never got that. "lets diss the mods!!!"

especially one as distinguished as ush.
