introducing....myself..

[creationist]

hi, am a christian, saw this forum(don't remember how) and though that joining it would be an interesting experience, perhaps increase my debating skills(perhaps not) and maybe i could make a couple bets at the same time...

[Single Serving Jack]

I really wouldn't bother if I were you.

[creationist]

why not?

[Single Serving Jack]

Give it time, you'll see.

What are these bets out of interest?

[creationist]

i started a thread in the general discussion about them...

[Smellyoldgit]

Oh fuck me. Another tosser.
I'll wager that you're a retarded, trolling idiot.

I win - pay up & don't waste your time here.

[Eva]

guys, give creationist a chance, before insulting him....

[Choobus]

Why? He's clearly a fucking imbecile.

[Eva]

and you have a duty to tell him, right?

no.

let's cut down on the attacks, k?

[Smellyoldgit]

Please Miss - I did it first - I'll take a well deserved spanking! :)

[Eva]

problem is, i think you like them....:)

but let's all tone it down, please.

[Choobus]

Fuck that shit. He's a shit stirring wanker. Pascals wager indeed. Even the intellectually bankrupt theists don't use that.

[Eva]

if he is doing that is irrelevant. maybe it is the first time he has heard of pascal's wager.

cut down on the attacks, again.

[Choobus]

i
cut down on the attacks, again.

If I see a retarded shitsucker who is very likely a troll, I may very well mention to him (or her) that he's a fucking arsehole. That is indeed the case here. For fucks sake, the cunt is called creationist!

[Kate]

if he is doing that is irrelevant.

No, it's not.

Sorry, Eva, I absolutely do not agree with that.

[nkb]

I'm all for cutting newbies some slack, even theists, but this guy came in with a smug attitude, thinking he had the "silver-bullet" argument against atheists.

There is no question he is here to stir shit, not to discuss. Why not call him what he is?

[Choobus]

I don't usually attack newcomers until they reveal themselves as douchebags. He was able to do so immediately so I say fuck the cockmuncher.

[nkb]

I don't know if you were responding to me, Choobus, but I whole-heartedly agree with you.

[Choobus]

I was.

[ubs]

Maybe we need a warning label, Eva.

Or a giant scored card.

Number served
Number of Times Pascal's Wager has been Served.

[RenaissanceMan]

No, it's not.

Sorry, Eva, I absolutely do not agree with that.

Actually it is. The rules are fairly clear, as put out by Chris:

The following is not permitted on this website:

1. Flaming - Material that is knowingly defamatory, illegal, abusive, racist, threatening or harassing, is strictly prohibited. You, as a registered member, should use common sense when posting. Any posts or threads containing personal attacks on other persons, may be edited/closed/deleted at the forum Moderators’ discretion. Attack the content, not the contributor.
2. Spamming - Posts that contain complete nonsense and serve only to "spam" a forum or to increase the post count of a registered member may be edited/closed/deleted at the forum Moderators discretion.
3. Pornography - Material that is sexually or otherwise obscene is not permitted on this web site. Posts containing such material will be deleted upon detection, as will any such images. No animated, cartoon, hand-drawn or other non-photographic depictions of nudity or pornography.
4. Stay on Topic - Please post messages in the relevant forum and try keep messages on topic. Off-topic messages will be moved to the appropriate forum.
5. Cross-posting - Posting identical posts in more than one forum is not permitted, neither is making posts solely linking to other threads and posts on the web site. Should this occur, then only the thread in the most relevant forum will be left open; all others will be closed or deleted.
6. Duplicate Registrations - Registering multiple user accounts on this web site is strictly forbidden. If any duplicate user accounts are detected or reported then they will be deleted. The use of any account other than that registered to the user is also strictly forbidden.
7. Right to Privacy - You will not violate any person's privacy by publishing against their will, information that is private or personal. This includes but is not limited to, the publishing of contact details such as e-mail addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses.

Since he wasn't Spamming (rule 2) in a blatant manner... (Starting ANOTHER identical Pascal's Wager topic would go there.) he really wasn't violating any rules.

If you don't want to acknowledge the guy, or discuss Pascal's Wager than ignore him as I have done.

But (rule 1) clearly specifies that the CONTENT must be attacked, not the poster. It would have been well within Eve's right to edit or delete the posts violating that rule.

Hey. I'm no saint. I've broken these rules too. But that doesn't mean the rules are wrong, and just because I wasn't edited or otherwise punished doesn't mean I was in the right.

[creationist]

to tell you the truth...i actually hadn't heard of pascals wager...

i made my name creationist to see what responses i would get to it...

i did not mean to come in with a smug attitude, if i was taken that way then i humbly apologize...

[Eva]

creationist, there's plenty of posts/threads about the wager. read them.
any questions, ask away.
if you don't want to debate or exchange ideas in a worthwhile way, lemme know.

we get many drive-by theists that just come, post some crap, and then leave. many, i said. we have been bitten many times, understand.
prove us wrong.

[nkb]

to tell you the truth...i actually hadn't heard of pascals wager...
Now you have, and hopefully you can see how weak it is.
If not, please read anthonyjfuchs' post again (in your wager thread).

i made my name creationist to see what responses i would get to it...
Do you see how this would be considered shit stirring?

Does this mean that you are not really a creationist?
i did not mean to come in with a smug attitude, if i was taken that way then i humbly apologize...
Let me ask you this: Did you think that you would stump us with your bet?

[creationist]

i'll do that : )

i do want to debate ideas in a worthwhile way, but i am not here to try and sway anyone to my religious beliefs, i think that would be an exercise in futility

[creationist]

yes, i see how it would be taken as being inflamatory and apologize,and yes i am a creationist

no i did not intend to try to stump anyone with my bet nor did i think that would happen,

[Eva]

oh noes! not another one that wants to make his faith stronger!!

[creationist]

you misunderstood me, i am not here to make my faith stronger, but if that is a byproduct of spending my time here than thats fine with me

[ubs]

So, if you are not hear to test your faith, or sway us, what is the point of the debate?

[Eva]

okok, crea don't backpedal so fast. yes, you wanted to stump us, so don't lie.

however, we can stump you with pur refutations...it really is the silliest of arguments. read up on it.

[creationist]

im not sure, in fact, im not even sure what it is we are debating about, if anything at the moment...

[creationist]

i just read up on it, and i agree, it is not a very solid argument, but when i posted it here i did not do so as an argument for or against anything...but simply as a bet...

[dogpet]

oh noes! not another one that wants to make his faith stronger!!

How do you know it's male?

[Eva]

[Eva]

How do you know it's male?

however, i do know god is a hermaphrodite.

[creationist]

How good to see you back. How goes the recovery?

Hi Creationist! welcome to the forum! As you can see everyone is really freindly here!

Have fun!

By the way, how old is the earth and how old is mankind in your veiw?
How did noah get 10million animals on an ark?
Why did Jesus Kill 42 kids for making mild jokes?

What should we do with disobedient children? ;)

STONE THEM! Leviticus is full of fun laws.

let me assure you that no real prayers were offered in your favor, hence your prescense here.

How good to see you back. How goes the recovery?
Sorry for the tardiness of this post. I was confronted with over 550 forum notes in my in basket once I managed to get back on the computer and I have been working through them ever since.

The recovery is coming along. Soon I will be able to get around without physical assistance and, with luck, in a few more weeks, I may even be able to drive again, though, having destroyed my car, having something to drive may be an issue.

My surgeon characterizes me as a cat who has severely overdrawn his lives account.

I do suspect that prayers were said by some others that, had they been directed at a real entity, would have assured my termination. :D

Unlike some on this forum, I am not universally adored.

Until they die from excess stonage!

[antix]

Until they die from excess stonage! Since we've got to die of something, excess stonage might not be such a bad thing :P

[Sternwallow]

Neither the thrown kind nor the piled kind of stoning are any fun at all. I think the best kind of stoning would be to have a 12 ton block of granite dropped on you from, say, 50+ feet.

It lacks the satisfaction of killing you and making you into a monument in the same instant.

I thought being stoned was actually a nice state of mind. ooOOOhh we're talking about with real rocks here. Yes yes, good times, Yeshua and I laughed till tears came to our eyes when those kids were stoned to death. Now the jokes on them brats!!
