Umm..Catholic chicks are easy! :devil3: ...or so I'm told.

Well, that's the most persuasive argument so far...

Dean Anderson

I know.

I married one.

(I'm so dead for saying that...)

This sounds like a "Preparation H" commercial!

Persuaded?...You mean "the old fashion way"?...

I hope you know what you're getting into...

Is this open to all players, or just to your friend whose post you quoted?

David B

I'd guess open to all, on the grounds that the invitee hasn't shown up, or responded to my invitation to discuss xianity.

I wonder why he hasn't shown

Realising he's in over his depth?

Realising he's over his depth subconsciously, and coming up with a ratinale for not showing, and coming up with something like he's put his putitive immortal soul in jeopardy by being her?

Seeking advise from parent/pastor/whatever and being warned off?

I spose that ultimately it's Pervy's decision whether it's open to all or exclusive.

Remember... HT is here to "persuade the uninformed."

That must not be Pervy.

Well, I was trying to draw Havelock out into actually discussing things, rather than posting his one-liners and assertions - especially since he had come here explicitly saying that his purpose was to persuade people (hence the title of this thread).

If you want to have a go yourself, though, then feel free. To give you a clue as to where I stand now (so we know the starting point)...

I'm currently a strong-atheist with respect to Judaeo-Christian-Islamic version of God, and a weak-atheist/strong-agnostic about a more general non-interventionist Deistic version of God.

I spent nearly a decade as a Christian when I was younger, and when it comes to things like Biblical knowledge and the history of Christianity and Judaism, I put myself firmly in the middle ground. I definitely know much, much more than the average person-in-the-street, but some of our more well-read BC&H scholars can put me to shame. My scientific knowledge is about the same.

My weak point is probably formal philosophy. Whilst I have a good grasp of logic and so on, when people start throwing around lots of philosophical or epistemological jargon I tend to have to reach for a dictionary.
