Booty will correct typos, but will not answer questions, English not being his first language.

Do atheists go to hell, Booty?

No, really. Show us how his reasoning is circular.

Judges' score?

(judges hold up signs: 1.0 0.7 0.5 0.3)

Oooh, not very good scores.

But a valiant effort, nonetheless.

Now, seriously. If my argument is circuar, prove it.

LOL!

Just to give you the background, Booty, we've observed that when theists have come here to convert and have found that they have no valid arguments nor counters to the valid arguments of the atheists, sooner or later they always fall back to attacking spelling errors.

You made it further than most, at least. It was 7 pages before you did it.

As the "t" is in the third row of the QWERTY keyboard and "c" in the first, a typo is highly unlikely. So perhaps I have not yet made it to the "Picking on typos phase"
I also did not offer my spelling correction as an attack, sorry you took it that way.

Gimme a break, I just took the LSAT (got 160) it has a whole section on prepositional phrases, called 'logical reasoning', the best way to analyze them, and the quickest, is to simplify them into letter form.

Hey Booty, I don't believe in God, but I don't want to go to hell.

What do I do?!

I am very happy to hear that, I believe He heard you as well.

Seeker,

Agreed. Although beware that some true statements can not be proved using Prepositional Logic. This is the crux of Godel's Incompleteness Theorm.

Good for you. Tell him I said he's an asshole.

EDIT: obviously a reply to Booty's prayer-offer, not to the person pointing out the problems of prepositional logic...
