No wonder I get migraine reading your posts. Gotta grab some aspirin.

Your migraines are just like the pain you get from playing a new sport and working muscles you've never used before. Try to keep up and I'm sure the headaches will go away.

Difference is that in sports one uses his/her muscles. Here, I am not sure the "muscles" are used that much.

HOT AIR! The new atheist is so full of it!

A.k.a, a lot of bull.

All talk but no substance.

See, you're a new atheist.

DISHONEST.

A new atheist has the penchant for dishonesty. They seem to inevitably resort to this tactic when they realize they're sinking. And if they're caught at it - ahhh, they just shrug it off like it's no big deal. Relativism kicks in.
Which opens up the question about atheism and morality - but that's for another topic.



Richard Dawkins Is Too Emotional and Dishonest about William Lane Craig (HT: Birdieupon)
"This awesome video was originally made by Birdieupon (the video is orignally titled "Richard Dawkins Lies About William Lane Craig AND Logic!"*). He caught Richard Dawkins (and many mindless followers of Dawkins' for that matter) downright lying about William Lane Craig and his position being merely emotional while glossing over evidence he (Craig... and his team for that matter) gave in his famous debate with him in Mexico 2010. Ironically, it was Richard Dawkins who was the emotional (and dishonest) one that night."



(* - The addendum at the end with Doug Geivett was added by me. Hope you don't mind, Birdieupon.)




Two disciples of Dawkins conveniently prove the fruit doesn’t fall far from its tree.
In the string of arguments in the other topic, Creation – Canadien and Bambino provide an exhibit of their excellent mimicry of Dawkin’s method of debating.

The string starts on post #860, p 58 (betsy’s response to Canadien’s rebuttal),
and the following responses of the two named posters clearly mirror Mr Dawkins’ attempt at dishonest discourse.

I like how earlier in the thread Betsy explained that "New Atheist" referred to Dawkins and his associates, and people in their movement... but now "New Atheist" is basically an ad-hominem attack against anybody Betsy disagrees with.

DISHONEST.

Like in...

betsy:Are you a Christain?
me: I am a Christian
betsy: Answer the question
me: It is answered
betsy: You are not a Christian. Are you a Christian?
me:answered already
betsy: You are not a Christian

OR

betsy: evolution is not a fact
others: it is
betsy: Have I said otherwise?
others: so, you acknowledge the fact of evolution
betsy: evolution is not a fact

Uncanny how attributes she claims belong to others match HER so perfectly.

Then obviously you don't understand the meaning of adhominem.

Out of curiousity, what is your definition of the word, adhominem?

I hope you don't run off hiding - which seems to become your bad habit - without giving your definition....only to resurface after sometime later - like, now - hoping that nobody noticed nor remembers that you failed to answer key questions that totally annihilated your arguments in other topic(s).

betsy; People who don't agree with me are this, and this, and that and all kind of bad or silly things. And 1+1=5
others; 1+1=2
betsy: You are this and this and that and all kind of bad and silly things.
others: That's an an ad hominem attack.
betsy: See, you are this and this and that and all kin of bad and silly things. And you don't know what ad hominem means. I am right again.

Hello, Kimmy? Yooooo-hooooooo



<from a cheesy B-movie>

Hello? Is anybody there? Hellooooo?

I'm not asking you to give the definition. I already know you don't know from squat!
I'm so positive about that!

Just by your own post I'm quoting above - it's the very rope you've strung around neatly on your neck!

Be a good boy. Settle down. Don't interrupt.
I'm hunting down Kimmy!

betsy, you're not a very nice person. Thankfully, I've never met any other Christians as snide and rude as you.

Be nice to betsy. Yousee, unlike she and I, you have better things to do in life than being here and that, like so many other things, is something she doesn't understand.
