I got similar responses to this from @"Tom Storm" and @"Fire Ologist". I also had an exchange with @"Janus" on the Logical Arguments thread that also ...

So let me see if I understand this. Authentic texture is important when I’m doing the cooking, but not for you. On the other hand, I agree with you. I...

While responding to a comment in the "Logical Arguments for God Show a Lack of Faith" thread, it struck me that what is called "faith" is the same thi...

What bothers me most is that I think @"Outlander" uses the same plate over and over.

It’s the paper plates that bother me.

I'm working on a response. I'm trying to put together a new thread to discuss the intuition/faith issue. I may answer it there. Otherwise I will come ...

Here’s my favorite VUM - it’s from about a year ago. Asteroid the size of 64 Canada geese to pass Earth Tuesday - NASA

I'm much less interested in your familial procedures for defecation than I am in your use of the word "bride" in reference to your wife. Let's look at...

I think that's a good way of looking at it. I'd like to discuss this issue further, but I think it will distract from this discussion. I plan on start...

I've been thinking about this (faith = intuition) a lot since we started discussing it - I realize that may not be exactly the way you see it. It caug...

Although I do like the picture, I think my favorite part is the toilet paper rack, just like in Hanover’s bathroom.

I consider myself a pragmatist, but I don't steal from my neighbors. Your justifications are nauseating. I'm all done here, I'll give you a chance for...

My favorite part is the giant toilet paper dispenser.

Pitiful.

Note - My comment was about fdrake, not you two.

What your proposing is basically anarchy. It has been discussed here numerous times. Without going into criticisms of specific details, it just won’t ...

To summarize, you like democracy as it currently stands in the US because you can get all the services without paying for them and leave it for other ...

In the good old days, fdrake would come in now and tell you boys to behave. This is what happens when we pester him till he can’t take it anymore. Ala...

Yes, you’re right, it is a very good example. I look at that dog and see a mountain.

First off, I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. Your post slipped between the cracks. If I understand what you've written correctly, it makes a lo...

But you can say that about just about everything, in particular language. Indonesian children don't generally speak English as their first language be...

Here are some early Christian examples. First - anti-reason, from the Bible: Then pro-reason, from 415 ad: Let's not take this any farther. I'm clearl...

Thanks for the explanation. I asked my question because I don't see how the positions you describe are relevant to the issue at hand - to quote the OP...

This is not the issue at hand. The OP claims that making religious arguments based on reason is inconsistent with making them based on faith - as he w...

A very big dog.

You don’t. It’s not your job. Many Christians don’t consider it their job either.

Christians have been arguing about this among themselves for 2000 years. I doubt you and @"DifferentiatingEgg" Have much to offer.

My brief look into what Pauline doctrine is doesn’t indicate it is primarily related to reason versus faith. Clearly, my understanding of this entire ...

An example of pareidolia, and a particularly good one.

Now that we’ve clarified that, let’s go back to your original response. That’s not the question on the table. The issue being discussed is whether or ...

This one:

The only presupposition I’ve made is that you don’t know enough about religious doctrine to make a meaningful statement about it.

I didn’t defend any arguments, I only attacked yours. As I wrote… Here is your chance to show us I’m wrong. Provide a summary of specific relevant rel...

I know what "proselytizing" means. My comment was on your "runs rampant" claim. Based on this definition, it's you who are proselytizing here.

This makes a lot of sense.

Pitiful. Bad philosophy - not really philosophy at all - low rent psychology. I'll tag it as an example of religious bigotry because you claim to unde...

In a related matter, I can also pretend you never said the things you said. I sometimes find that helpful.

It’s true, you can’t unsay things here, but you can pretend you never said them.

For what it’s worth, I do have a lasagna-related wife.

I pushed the "post comment" button too soon. Afterwards I went back in and fixed it.

Person 1: Hey, let’s make lasagna. Person 2: Good idea.Do we have any ricotta? Person 1: I’ll check … no. Person 2: Then let’s just use cottage cheese...

I was just reporting the facts of my lasagna-related life. I wasn’t drawing any culinary aesthetic conclusions.

Up north here we say “stupidity.”

Be that as it may, as you well know, just putting the modifier “south” on any place makes it sound like it’s full of hicks and rubes. I was trying to ...

I’ve been out of town so all I have is my cell phone, no computer. Otherwise I would have participated in this discussion. I would like to say, though...

Those of us who grew up in small towns in southern Delaware, didn’t learn until we moved to the big city that you’re supposed to use ricotta and not c...

Works fine, if inauthentic. Remember though, down south you need to use Velveeta instead of mozzarella.

You should provide evidence for your claims.

The first amendment does not just apply to true speech, it applies to all, or almost all, speech.

This is not true.
