This is just ignorant. Are you fucking kidding me? There is no evidence BDS!

If there was, we wouldn't be having this conversation! Jesus H Christ, I haven't been this pissed on a message board in a long time. Never have I witnessed such blatant mischaracterizations of my position.

I didn't sit down and decide to not believe in the Ressurection- I don't believe in it because there is no fucking evidence that it ever happened, or that it is even possible.

Do you get that? Do you? Am I speaking in fucking Braille?

Ty

Tigers!

There is also no precedent for your existence either. Can I conclude that therefore you do not exist?

BDS

Oh. There we have it. I guess that cooked my goose.


Please don't cry, Ty. Many people who have more faith in preconceptions than in evidence go on to lead happy, productive lives. IN fact, a great many of them call themselves, "Christians".

TySixtus

Oh, this is getting old.

Want my address so you can prove to yourself that I exist?

Do you get the small fact that evidence for my existence can be provided? Or was that another thing I wrote in Braille?

Or are you one of those Christians who retreats into solipsism when their position comes under fire?

Ty

BDS

Well, based on your inability to understand the conventonal meaning of the words "evidence", "lies', and "fiction", we've established that you're not speaking in English.......

TySixtus

That's exactly what it does, BDS. It's so blatantly obvious, I'm embarassed for you that you keep dancing around the issue.

Tell me, BDS, is it possible for people to rise from three days of being dead?

Yes or no. Let's find out where you stand, right now. I'm sick of this "devil's advocate" bullshit you like play, quietly sniping as you do from the sidelines. Make a statement that isn't vacuous on the subject, please. I'm giddy with anticipation.

Ty

Tigers!

I am merely pointing out that 'evidence' is a slippery fish. No-one really agrees on what it is.
Yes you can provide evidence, whether it is acceptable is another point entirely. The receiver is not under any obligation to accept it. They are probably unwise to do so, but have no necessity to accept.
I don't like solipsism myself, it leaves a bad after taste.

Tigers!

I'm glad you didn't call all of them Christians. I'd hate to be alone.

BDS

How would I know what's "possible", Ty?

Unlike you, I don't have a fixed, preconceived notion about what is possible and what is impossible in this universe.

This much I know: if something is "impossible", then "evidence" either supporting or refuting the occurrence of that thing is irrelevant.

TySixtus

Good job.

Exactly what I thought you would do. You'll forgive me, then, if I ignore the rest of your contributions in this thread, as you haven't actually taken a stand on anything. And apparently, you don't think science works.
