Re: Jim Palmer: Ex Megachurch evangelical
Or he can crawl back under his rock.
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up, why would you have to lie?

What is it that Jar would call this? Word salad?

And you know that how. I've been involved in church life for numerous years and I haven't met all that many Christians who would read that literally. Actually it's more of an American thing.
Do if you look at the subset if people you knowand exclude everyone from the US you would be correct? Do you actually think what you write?
​
What strawman? Point it out.
Maybe not be so boring and pitiful if you attempted to make amd support an actual argument.

Re: No Creator Owes Anyone Anything
If I ever found that Phat's god was real, I would tell that god to stuff it. Do it's worst.Spit in it's face. Nothing that demands worship is worthy of worship.

GDR has never shown himself to be very aware or self-aware. He seems to have built a bubble in which he has created his own reality.
As I have told Phat numerous times in the past. His beliefs have no effect on reality and seemingly reality has no effect on his beliefs
