If it's my Lord's decision I accept that. I'd much rather know I'm dead.
You're one of those people that don't like people having opinions and religions aren't you?
Dude come ON. The past two pages have been clear evidence of a flame war. I mean, your posts are practically screaming it at you. So yes, this is turning into a flame war and you are clearly the one who set this thread on fire.
Yes.
Double post. And Micr2 did the right thing and backed off, while you kept accusing him of losing and giving up. So really just drop it man. And believing in god is whether your parents teach it to you or not. If they don't, of course your going to think that it is ridiculous that there is a Mighty Spirit or something like that in the sky.
Now there have been many others that have said that this is very civil, but this is a sr mod post so I thought I would quote this one. The reason I quoted it is because he is saying how we argue and flame on gaming but believing in god we keep completely civil. Oh wait. There is now a flame war going on this thread. And Micr2 is putting it out. Now please all of the people involved in that fight, DROP IT.
Flame war used to mean so much more than this. This is just someone being rude. It was pretty civil, and maybe Tal didn't read every last post.
That's because it originally was a philosophy until a man brought himself into the equation. It was the beginning of the mix of Daoism and Confucianism up until about 300 BCE when it became a religion in Eastern Asia. As it started to migrate more East (Towards the Qin and Han Dynasties in about 350-400 BCE and right before the fall of the Han dynasty) it started to gain influence. Once the fall of the Han dynasty came to pass due to a large population drop (small pox and meseals) and the emperors just being puppets and figures used by the generals, there was no more need for Confucianism(which I find HIGHLY interesting). This brought forth the large spread of Daoism and Buddhism. However, while this was happening in the new three Chinese regions, Christianity was becoming the official religion of Rome.
You just explained exactly what I've been thinking for the past few days. Have you ever noticed how perfectly the Human body was made? Think, what is the use for fingernails... But then think how weird and ugly our fingers would look without them. Do we really NEED eyebrows for ANYTHING? No. We would look REALLY strange with just one nostril... Everything seems to work out TOO perfectly for there not to be something governing the existence of us. I hope I didn't just offend anyone with the physical issues that they may have listed above, but if you are one of those people, the reason people think you look weird (sorry, but people are rude and will think you look weird) then it means that it's irregular. I might be spamming this thread, because I'm just going through the thing and replying to any message I seem fit to reply to so sorry if I am spamming xD I'll try to edit it all into one thing once I catch up to the end
And start paying more attention in church.
When it comes to debating religion you almost have to be nice, as it's very easy to offend someone through their religion.I'm just going to say this quickly because I think I should resolve it as I don't like making enemies. When I debate I do have a somewhat aggressive style, and I won't exactly be all nice a cheery towards you. I don't really see the point in a debate when everyone is all polite, the point of a debate is to tell someone that they are wrong and you are right and explain why, obviously you shouldn't be a total dickhead but being too nice just slows the process down. I personally couldn't care less if someone was to call me and idiot or silly, all I'd do is argue back more and hopefully that would fix the situation. I also still think you guys are exaggerating the rudeness of my comments, I certainly didn't begin flame war, most of my comments were relevant to the topic with maybe a few tame/harsh words imbedded
so my intentions were not really to offend anyone and I would still love it if micr2 would reply to my reply to his reply please, I'm interested to hear your response and then argue against you once more
I obviously respect your right to hold your opinion, but micr2 you really should read up on the Big Bang theory, it seems insane in my eyes for you to make a judgement on this issue without even doing that much research on the topic.
This made me smile <3
...is it over because you're losing badly?
...The point of a debate is never to "win" the argument, nor to be proven right. The point of a debate is to come to a conclusion that both viewpoints are satisfied with. In a debate, both parties should be really open to new, "better" ideas, even if they oppose their own or "prove them wrong". Of course, you do stay on track and argue your side, but you have to know when you're actually wrong and accept it. For one point to be wrong is not for your whole argument to be invalid. In many, many debates, neither party is proven to be completely right in all arguments, and this is how debates help. As an example, I could argue my side that Xbox is better than the PlayStation, but the thing is...not everything about the Xbox is better than the PlayStation. The point of this debate in the end is to state my look on it and learn from the opposing one, and if possible, come to a conclusion, something me and the other debater can agree on about both systems, not to win. Maybe, the results of the debate will teach me something, or even teach Microsoft/Sony something for the future, to help better their systems or my ideas.
