Re: Morality & Meaning
I know he is an existentialist.
I think you mean 'was'. He believes in God now. But even the demons believe that.

Re: Morality & Meaning
Er...to my own reckoning you yourself have received a fair amount of my air-time. Much more than many posters here with whom I have engaged in similar fashion. Didn't I even engage in a one-on-one (with an assist from Purple Youko) at one point? Not even Robin has received that intensity of input.
(I won't even talk about the exposure you had on another site)

Re: Converting anyone isn't up to us anyway
I think it's just that iano and I happen to like Robin. For one thing he doesn't attack us as everyone else here does, which he's explained as his sympathy for the underdog. He talks to us as intelligent human beings. He's also got this remarkable realism, which I don't see in most of the other evos here.
Good points. Whilst I have gotten cross with him at times I can't remember him ever having done the same. He is a bit of an oasis in stormy seas . And he's not a wriggler neither.

Re: Morality & Meaning
indeed and IIRC we reached a point where you point blank refused to engage the questions I was asking.
Thanks for confirming the level of input you have received (IIRC it was a 300 poster and even continued onto another thread). Now (by your definition), you poor, weak little conversion prospect what was it you wanted answered?

Re: Morality & Meaning
300 post maybe.. not many straight answers, plenty of dodging.
more quantity than quality.
The point - in the context of your post which sat in judgement both of me (as a predator) and Robin (as a mark) - is that you have received a large quantity of exposure to myself as well. In terms of words written (for the posts between Robin and myself are fairly short) you received and gave more. In terms of depth of argument you most certainly recieved and gave more.
feel better now? feel big and clever?
Not at all. It doesn't even register a heartbeat. But when someone launches an attack like you did then I feel obliged both to defend myself and defend someone I like. This is not to say I do not like you - I do. But an attack requires defense (to my mind) And the defence is that, all things considered, you have sat up there as a mark yourself and so much of what you say occurred in Robins case must have occurred in your own.
I'd appreciate it if you'd clarify your reference to my 'exposure' on 'another site'
The name of the site is foc-u.co.uk. But you know that. It is a bikers website. There were a number of God-threads instigated by me on that site (to the peanut gallery: can you imagine how thick ones skin becomes - you shower of pussies) and you partook in those debates. Your name then was Mook.
Then you followed me here The prey following the predator. How quaint

Re: Morals in the Gospels
And we are entitled to refuse a gift without being splatted aren't we?
End of thread so I'll get this one in quick - I see an admin in the area.
The gift is not being splatted. How one can refuse a gift unto not being splatted without being splatted I cannot fathom.
And if admin is feeling generous he will leave things open so I can abe a response. There are few other participants of this thread around
