Don`t worry about it.

Well Fenton, the biggest haha so far has be your saying "I'm not responding to you if..."
I said I wasn`t going to respond to you anytime you include someone elses quotes while addressing me. I had to respond that one last time to tell you I wasn`t going to respond in the future. Would you rather I had sent you an email about it?
I like to laugh. Can anyone point out the humor Radorth is enjoying?

Quote:
Everyone who thinks Fenton will stop responding to me, EVER, raise your hand.
Will I ever stop talking to you? Perhaps,but right now I`m enjoying it too much. I don`t predict any change in the foreseeable future. Sorry.


Quote:
No that's Fenton's tactic. I've actually tried three times to get back on thread after he started in on my personal faults.
I think a review of the threads would show otherwise.

I see it`s time to deploy the mirrors again. I was wondering what happened to those.

You still haven't noticed that I respond exactly to skeptics just as they do to me, (except for the gratuitous personal insults). This is new to you I think because most Christians just leave rather than put up with it, or violate Peter's rule about responding to vitriol.
What an unbelievable coincdence! What an incredible marvel!
I do exactly what you do,but I do it right back at you,gratuitous insults and all. I think I`ve even got some mirrors around here somewhere too.
We`re like soulmates! Maybe we could get our picture taken together in that little booth at the mall.

Btw, You sound a little jealous,but let me assure that I don`t do this for any other Christians. I'm all yours!

Hell, this "I'm a better witness than Hitler" ought to convince anyone, regardless of their position on God, to conclude you've lost your mind.
Quote:
On the contrary, your rudeness, your incoherency, your dishonest misrepresentations of the arguments of others, your condescension, your inconsistencies all speak of someone who is a terrible witness.
Yada yada. Still waiting for you to list the similarities in behavior. Dr. Laura is "rude" and I'm sure Billy Graham, many Presidents, etc are "dishonest" in your opinion, so you have a long way to go there bub.

Nice try though.

No, that's your tactic. Aside from the obvious "I am better than Hitler" sidetrack you've taken us on, I could provide other examples. Or have you forgotten some of the threads in BC&A that we've clashed on.

Or are you still killing us atheist spiders?

He won't get me. I've developed a resistance to the theist bible aerosol sprays.

Default Hitler was a christian, so what?

Well, in case one likes it or not, Hitler claimed to a christian. "I'll be a Catholic until I die." (Mein Kampf).

Hitler leaned more to Lutheranism as a "germanic religion." His anti-Semitism was like all European anti-Semitism, Christian based. He was a great admirer of Martin Luther, the most notorious Jew-hater prior to Hitler. Luther wrote two or more vitriolic essays on the "Despicable Jew" and "The Lies of the Jews". Luther was the leader of the Protestant CHRISTIAN Reformation.

I posted this to clear that up. It doesn't matter in the debate between rationalism and superstition or more specifically Atheism/Agnosticism and Theism/Religion.

Hitler was a Christian, Stalin was an Atheist. So we are even on modern dictators. But over the past 1700 years the Christian Church holds the major league record on persecutions, executions of dissenters and heretics, murder of women as witches, and burning of atheists, pantheists, and agnostics as "blasphemers." The Christian murder record is unlikely to be surpassed.

Fenton you are being very disingenuous here. You have steadfastly refused to stop this nonsense in spite of my offers to ignore each other. I post stuff on thread that you don't like, so you attack me personally. Most Christians either ignore you or leave, but I did not. However if you continue to refuse, I will put you on my ignore list, much as I hoped for a better resolution.

Oh get off it Fiach. When you compare atheist's 40,000,000+ political murders with Christians who actually read the Bible, your assertions are hardly worth answering. To make it stick, you have to define a Christian as anyone who thinks so, and has never read or understood the NT for themselves. We get to break table legs and be rude and sarcastic at most.

But I'm sure no atheist will note either the totally irrelevant nature of the comments, nor the height of your soapbox.

HUMANS WITH TOO MUCH POWER AND NO MORAL CONVICTIONS MURDER OTHER HUMANS BY THE MILLIONS. ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL.

What about the Inquisitions? The church had too much power then, and they used their religious and moral convictions to justify what they did.

What moral convictions? Where does Jesus or one of the apostles say it's OK to break a bruised reed?

Ridiculous.

They had too much power and unchallengeable authority. And it just amazes me that more atheists don't appreciate what Bush is doing since they hope in man's power to put an end to evil.

I have no such vain hopes.
