Booty, I ask you again:

Do good, kind atheists go to hell?

How are victims of rape, famine, disease, child abuse choosing to suffer, and why does your god allow this?

Ooo! Good answer! I'll remember that one.

Very Good, excellent.

But then I prefaced the thread with that explanation.

I come to learn, how better than to ask questions?

Oh and you are assuming english is my native tongue.

bonduca · 04-20-2002, 04:54 PM

Good idea, NPH.

Booty, please answer my questions. You speak English well enough to make these statements, I assume you can defend them?

I third the idea NPH

I don't know booty, do any of us REALLY have a native tongue?

"The lacking common cultural base here is faith"

Then let's establish a common tongue

Faith: believing that something is true because you wish it to be true.

Any problem with that definition? I have never seen anything to contradict it.

I was told it was naughty to let my tongue go native.

BZZZZZ! Wrong answer!

No, on the contrary, I was assuming it wasn't. Which is why I wondering why you don't just go bother ... ur ... enlighten people who speak your language, rather than come hear, spout nonsense, and then write it off as a limitation of our paltry little language.

And the Socratic Method is an effective method iff the students believe the instructor has knowledge that they lack. From someone who has not established himself as enlightened (as you have not done), the Socratic Method is not instructional; it is merely annoying.

Whenever he asks a question, answer with a question. Whenever he does his hand-waving evasion, do one of your own! LOL!

Sad, but it would appear by the pack mentality that exists here that "Having fun" with people is a popular past time here. It would also appear that quite a few of you are more than familiar with evasive tactics, "Booty-Style" would be a decided regression.

Why the fear?

bonduca · 04-20-2002, 05:01 PM

I don't fear you. I am annoyed and disgusted by your evasiveness.

Please answer my questions.
