Given the chance to go back and do something differently, I would change nothing. Firstly, because I am arrogant. But secondly, and more importantly, ...

Bitter Crank is right. Based on what standard? On what criteria? Critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills I take to include problem solving ...

I seem to be the only one who voted for "Can't know", which would be the closest to my stance as a nonreligious atheist, and, playing devil's advocate...

The Three Topics With The Biggest Bias Against Them On The Philosophy Forum Trump. Ayn Rand. New Atheism. Am I right or am I right?

Right, back to business. Now, where were we? Your original question makes no sense to me in this context, if I interpreted it correctly. When you aske...

I'll remind you that I gave you the opportunity to elaborate with regards to your claim of falsity, and that might have set us on off in a more linear...

I know you want to have the last word, but so do I. It would be in your interest, not for that reason, but for the reason that I gave: because you thi...

So predictable. That they are listed as synonyms does not mean that their meanings or connotations are identical. I think that you know this, and that...

Agreement, not endorsement. And what I was agreeing with was more than that one minor detail which we've been unduly focussing on. I mean, really? A s...

Ok, fine. You've established that it wasn't you. But let's all stop talking about arrogance, in a discussion about transubstantiation, for goodness sa...

Oh the irony. Says he who brought up arrogance. Well, we'd have to actually go into details. So, what is it, specifically, that you're claiming is fal...

I didn't applaud anything. Isn't it interesting how words can be manipulated to your advantage like that? I said it how it is. The cold hard truth is ...

It wasn't a silly point. I think that that's a silly thing to say, in addition to being unnecessary and provocative, which is just what you reproached...

Does that answer my question about arrogance? You expressed your wholehearted agreement with a comment that was about arrogance, so it is fair to ques...

And what, pray tell, does arrogance have to do with who is right and who is wrong? That's what really matters. Whether it's intentional or not, decept...

Exactly. If you have faith, then you fall for it, and if you don't, then you don't fall for it. It would be a fact if God existed, and if God did so, ...

There was a young lady from Kew Who said, as the bishop withdrew Oh, the Vicar is quicker And thicker and slicker And four inches longer than you

Never! I am always deadly serious. All owls are, and I am King of the Owls, like Jesus was King of the Jews. You should know that by now.

Oh yes, their arguments were refuted yonks ago! The only challenge was attempting to get them to come to that realisation, and that one's a toughie.

Yep. That's the cold hard truth.

Agreed.

Okay, but unfortunately for you, I think that it's too late for that. I think that you got yourself stuck in the quicksand early on, and I would be su...

@"Metaphysician Undercover", anyway, Hanover and Michael are more than enough to keep your hands full. Good luck trying to win that debate. You'll nee...

Okay. You win a point. Congratulations. But my request is for you to set that aside and get stuck in, as I have done. I will try to be charitable if y...

Yes, I've said that from the start. I'm just about ready to give up, and it seems that Metaphysician Undercover is not willing to play fair, so...

But you think likewise, and I wouldn't believe you if you said any different. Plus you've been very uncharitable, yet I set that aside and got stuck i...

No, I'm not repeating anything. You can go back and properly address it. Or not, and that will be the end of our discussion.

Are you going to address the rest of my post? Because there are some important parts, and one part of particular importance which I emphasised, that y...

What do we think are some of the inadvertently funniest things said so far in the transubstantiation discussion? I nominate the following:

Oh. I will bear that in mind and relocate any comments which need to be relocated.

>:O

I think it's fair to say that the triumvirate of myself, Hanover, and Michael, have won this debate on transubstantiation, and that Agustino and Metap...

No, I didn't. I even repeated back to you what the law of identity states. I then went on to explain how we can determine from that what a thing is. W...

Jesus, I read that as "bread" just now. Too much talk of bread and wine. Or, should that be the body and blood of Christ? I could do with a nice glass...

Again, I completely agree.

Yes, that's it, give or take a few minor details. :D

I don't understand how you could fully understand and agree with what I said, yet respond with the above. Yes, like I said, there is a "what the thing...

I agree with Hanover, and particularly with the following:

Yes, thank you. Michael gets it.

It might not be the word the word you'd use, but is it the word the word the word you'd use?

It is said that if you point a gun at a cat, lulz will ensue.

That's not its eye.

When you make a fool of yourself, don't you think that it's a good thing to attempt to undo the damage? I mean, if you don't mind people thinking that...

Yes, I'm saying that what a thing is is something other than the words which refer to it. I'm further saying that, not only would it be mistaken to sa...
