Your eternal destination: you decide.

It seems there is a dimension beyond 'rabid'. My bad...

What a chicken[____] copout.You started this thread with your silly insistence that we must concede the possibility that your conception of a deity must exist. You got honest answers from several people, me included, who were willing to go along with your premise to the extent of giving a substantive reply. Then you give this crap.

Your substantive reply was: "Ditto CK and Ned"I didn't say he must exist. I supposed even the most rabid atheist must concide he could exist. C'mon Subbie..I've been around a little longer than that

Many atheists don't concede that God, as described in the Christian Bible, can exist, just as you don't concede that God as described in the Koran can exist.

Yes, you proposed that even the most rabid atheist must concede that "God of the Bible" must exist. However, when the question was turned back on you, you were either intellectually or dispositionally incapable of assuming for the purpose of a similar question that allah might exist.And you have the nuts to suggest that someone else is beyond rabid.

I proposed nothing of the sort. For the benefit of you alone I'll go back to clarify

You are quite correct. You did not say "must" in your OP. That was my typo in my previous post.Mea culpa.

Edited nonetheless. Best to be as clear as possible. Cheers Subbie..

Name one who gives a basis for so holding. I'm in a different position to the atheist. An atheist cannot know God doesn't exist. Whereas I can know he does. And if I do then I can know all sorts of things as a consequence of that amongst which, Allah doesn't exist.We float not in the same boat, the atheist and me.

I'm far less interested in your editing than I am in seeing whether you have the intellectual honesty and faith on your own belief to respond to your own question turned back on you.Seems I have my answer.Edited by subbie, : No reason given.

It would be a far shorter trip for you to be come a Catholic than would be for me to believe in your bronze age concept of a god.Really quite tragic that you are risking damnation for such a small philosophical adjustment? BTW your sidestep was noted...

If you have a problem with the answer I gave your queston then address it. Don't curl your lip without due process. This is a debate website - not a posturing parlour.Edited by iano, : No reason given.

How dry is the chalk and how ripe the cheese is something we could go on and on about. Needless to say RC is light years away from Christianity as far as I am concerned. I ain't willing to discuss how many light years to the nearest bazillion with you*.{AbE} *Well I am: how close is salvation by mans works vs salvtion by Gods grace - in light years? Like I said - light years Remind me svp.Edited by iano, : No reason given.

try reading the koran. you know, they do have english translations.

And how did I misrepresent the Koran?
