I just watched a special on the situation in Greece with background, including what's happening in Lesbos, and how the Greek people are tired of Turkey's meddling.

I have to say you were right. Turkey is misbehaving and has been misbehaving long before the current crisis began. Turkey should not be a member of NATO or the EU. And the EU is not living up to their commitments to Greece.

No evidence = false?

For thousands of years there was no evidence of Pluto. Was Pluto false?

For hundreds of years, there was no evidence of microwaves. Was microwaves false?

There is no evidence of extraterrestrial life. Is it false that aliens exist?

This is a logical fallacy that conflates "No evidence" and "evidence against". All one needs to fall to this fallacy is a low IQ, and militant anti-theist bias.

What's sadder, is that even without the logical fallacy, the argument still fails because there IS evidence of God.

Now watch. Ol' Sal will ignore the logical fallacy and insist on the evidence of God.

Failing to admit that even if it were true that there was no evidence of God, his argument would still be a logical fallacy. It would still fail.

Proponents of this fallacy don't care about logic, they are motivated by bias.

Does Prayer Work?


TS - Nevertheless, many people don't trust Jesus but still try and talk to God. Yet they fail to realise that doing so -without trusting in Jesus is a bit like...[snip]....a person like me walking in to the PM's office without an invite. It will actually prevent communication - because I had forgotten who I was talking too - and thought too highly of myself. 

Seth - So you don't need to pray to get into heaven? Good I don't pray, I'm a walk up.

Whooooosh!!!

As I told you Cletus, insults and silliness will not help you. I can outlast, and outwit you. Simmer down, and you'll be fine. But if all you have is anger and vitriol, I will toss you like a kitten. And I can do so for as long as you let me.

Stop lying AGAIN, you have only just mentioned (yesterday the 7th  07:13AM ) this little girl HAD HER operation 
I mentioned it earlier, you just didn't see it. And when I mention it may not be the same date when she had the operation. Think man.

If you want to persist on this lie of informing me "over a week ago",..
Lol!! You think I'm informing you? Funny.

..then simply put up the post from " OVER a week ago" showing me where you said this.
No. Because I don't care what you believe. The convoy was not with you, and I owe you nothing.

I can read and respond to what I read. Deal with it.
I am dealing with it, but that is appearing to upset you.

I was paraphrasing a mod.
 
You QUOTED the accusation made by a mod.

No. I paraphrased a judgement made by a mod. Judgment is the mods job.

I asked you to support that accusation from within the post linked as evidence by that mod.
And I blew you off. I don't have to justify a mod's decision to you. Who are you?

I have told the mod in another post/thread that his links don't support his accusation
What you missed is that he's the mod and you aren't. And further, I don't care.

Can you try this in English?
If a typo of a single letter can confuse you, I need say nothing else.

Again you want it all ways. 
Nope. I'd just settle for rationality. You told me civility was off the table.

Your god according to YOU and the BIBLE, created "EVERYTHING". There are well over 100 BIBLE verses that makes this clear. 
I have never disputed this. I simply asked you who created your posts,  and every time I do, you choke. Why?

Your god not only created this little sick child he also created the defect that is causing her to be in dire need of an operation...
Aaaand this is why you choke. You want to blame God, but you can't if you admit that God didn't create your posts. So you run, dodge, and hide from the simple question. Who created your post homer?

When did she have it and how do you know?
I lived in Ghana for 15 years Jethro. She had the operation a few days ago, and my friend there who works with us to help people is on the case for me.

I believe you are lying again, Popoff   because of the awkward embarrassing  questions I posed you concerning this fictional "sick child".
Your questions were not awkward or embarrassing ( for anyone but you) they were just not dumb.

Why not?
For one, its none of your business.

So here your telling salixes that there IS a girl in need of an operation AND THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT,but  then,  hey presto, when pushed on the matter you tell us all that she has had the operation and all is fine 
No one was pushed Abdul. When we found out that Sal's promise to help her was bogus, someone else came to her rescue. She is recovering, thank God.

She got nothing from you, 

Correct.  I was giving to charity at home   Popoff
Lol. Of course. You even sound like the charitable type.

IT HASN'T WORKED!!!!!!
Oh, I don't know. The little girl is fine, Salixes is exposed as a hypocrite, and you're about to go apoplectic. I'd call that a solid win.

Are you really not smart enough to figure out that some of the things God create change after creation? Really?

And you have a bible reference for this?

I'm not sure you would. If you can't figure out on your own that some of the things God create change after creation, you're probably not mentally equipped to handle the verse.

I don't differentiate between unsupported god claims, I was asking you to which unsupported god you were referring.
I referred to no God Cletus. You did.

Were you unaware of which God you were referring to when you said this?

In your opinion you think there is a god up above. delusion.
Were you deluded when you said that? Did you not know what god you were referring to?

You don't understand much about reality I see.
Yes. I think abortions concerns babies. Imagine that.

Abortion has nothing to do with babies and your red herrings stink.

Wait. Maybe I mis-heard you. Let me check the meaning of abortion again.

An abortion is when a pregnancy is ended early, without the natural birth of the child and before it is ready to survive outside of the uterus. ... Often, the term abortion often refers only to an induced abortion. In both types of abortion, the embryo or fetus usually comes out of the womb.

Yep. Don't know what I was thinking. Abortion has nothing to do with babies.

Gentle Reader, this is the kind of insanity liberalism requires of those who submit to its irrationality.

You will have to believe that abortions have nothing to do with babies.

Untrue. You haven't cited a single lie or misquote of mine. Though you keep buttaching about it.

You haven't a clue what I know about the bible,
Sure I do. I see your clueless posts full of ignorance about what the bible and Christian doctrine says.

but I obviously know a lot more about being a decent human being
You got me there. I'm not a PC liberal progressive snowflake. "Decent" human beings are those who troll religion boards though they claim to be atheists.

Are you including god belief in this "other unsupported garbage"?
Is your belief that there is no God, supported?

To which god do you refer? 
I'm not the one who referred to a God Cletus. You did. Were you unaware of which God you were referring to when you said this?

In your opinion you think there is a god up above. delusion.

Isn't pro-abortion the stance that a woman's unborn baby should die if she wants it to die?

No! Pro choice is the correct term
OK, so pro choice is the stance that a woman's unborn baby should die if she wants it to die.

The correct term should be pro death.

..and it has nothing to do with babies
Lol! OK, it has nothing to do with babies.

The former was intended to be poetry, the latter was not,
So what then is your point? That poetry is always preferable to prose? That prose is vulgar?

though they cover the same incident in the same timing.
Well that is debatable. It covers the incident in your perception, and reality and your perception are not the same, as your poem clearly shows.

But the poem shows potential talent, its a bit derivative, but you used it as an example right?

I make no claim that my composition is better writing, just that it is poetry, and exemplary of a poetic form, alliteration, while the other is simple, descriptive prose.

I think your example had the unintended result of proving that sometimes prose is superior to poetry in quality.

Before I bother with a response to this meaningless rant, a few questions / observations.

Who is Cletus?
Do you have a mirror handy?

Are you including god belief in this "other unsupported garbage"?
You will tell me. Is your belief that there is no God, supported?

Why do you lie and misquote and then falsely accuse others of that?
When you post a lie or misquote, this will be more than just you trying to smear me by innuendo.

You must be young. Because only a noob would think silly stuff like that has never been tried.

You can't beat me by lying, or by insinuation Cletus. Accusations are like backsides, everyone has one. Cite a lie or misquote, or quit whining.

That's a very broad and therefore inaccurate comparison...
Bigots tend to think that way. That is how they are able to rationalize bigotry.

Fake News as your Orange Demi-God would say.
He's not a god, not even a demi one. But to people with low self-esteem, he can seem that way. He's just a man Z, no more or less than you. Work on your esteem and you won't have to keep comparing yourself to others.

Though the sort of typically broad and inaccurate comparison that we have come to expect.
We who? Anti-semites-R-Us? Broad, inaccurate opinions are a bigots stock in trade. Like calling Trump a "demi-god", or bringing up Zionists in a convo about Americans marching in a right to life rally.

And Jews are not necessarily Zionists and vice versa...Another typically inaccurate assumption....Just like assuming that all Semites are Jews.
We know this, but do the Anti-semites know this when they are claiming that Zionists control America and make America fight all "their" wars?

If you're trying to convince us that bigots aren't rational Z, you're preaching to the choir. We know.

He isn't even aware that the bible does not give an age of the earth,

I never mentioned the age of the Earth, I referenced the age of the universe, which is mentioned in the bible.
No it isn't Cletus. I would ask you cite it, but we both know you cannot.

or that everything was created as is, 

Apparently you haven't read the bible because that is exactly what it says.
No. That is the position of people who get their information from atheist websites instead of reading the bible. Again, I would ask you to cite where the bible says everything was created as is but you and I know you cannot do so.

or that Heaven is located within the universe,

I honestly have no idea why you resort to bald faced lies in your posts. I never even implied such a claim. 
Seth, Post #31, this thead
In your opinion you are such a special part of the universe that you will live forever.

In his opinion, Christians live forever in Heaven, and if he is a part of the universe, then Heaven must be within the universe. Words mean things Cletus.

"In your opinion you think there is a god up above. delusion."

"Above" is a locus in space/time that can only exist within the universe, Einstein.

...he "knows" there is no God.

That's a given.
It must be given to you because you can't  achieve it through logical argumentation. Well there will be no charity cases with me Cletus. Nothing will be "given" to you. You will have to earn your claims, or they will get tossed out like all the other unsupported garbage.

Does that behaviour still work in your school playgound?
It works on your grade school logic.

I know enough not to have to resort to lies when I post.
Well Cletus, you used to anyway.

To the Gentle Reader:
Though an easy solution is to simply cite the passages in the bible that support their claims, neither Seth or Sal will do so because they cannot.

Like all militant atheists, they will project. Both have misquoted the bible, but Seth says I'm lying, and Ol Sal says I'm misquoting. But neither will ever post my lie or misquote.

-->@Salixes

Listen, I have to tell you this as others in this forum have done.
Others? You mean Stephen? Did you see the mods reply to the charge that I was misquoting?

Your deliberate misquoting and deliberate misinterpretations of what others say have gotten way out of hand.
Really? Then how come its you under sanction about posting and not me? Or do you think you can fool the mods by simply repeating a silly baseless charge over and over?

It is a very crude form of argument, to say the least.
Would you like me to re-post what moderation said about your "form of argument"?

No. I bet you don't.

The Bible does give the age of the earth as approximately 6000 years.
It doesn't. That's just an urban myth ignorant atheists perpetuate. The bible doesn't even hint at an age of the Earth.

Which, like most of the stories in the Bible, is horribly wrong.
I would ask you to cite the story that's "horribly wrong", but we both know you're horribly wrong and cannot do so.

...by deduction through ancestry leading up to the story of the Ark the Bible deduces that the earth is 6000 years old.
Ah, so it isn't the bible saying the Earth is 6,000 years old, it's you "deducing" and then lying that it's the bible deducing it. OK.

...theists such as yourself are led to believe such deceptive, out of context nonsense by Church superiors.
And yet I just told you that the bible does not say that the Earth is 6,000 years old. The only one believing such deceptive, out of context nonsense is you.

God did create her homer, she just could have developed the defect after creation.

I see.
Finally!

And what created the defect in this poor little girl that you haven't manged to find a measly $200.00 for?
The child has had the operation jedthro. While you sat on your backside and called the $200 "measly" yet couldn't send it yourself, God sent it. Yeah, the same God you call imaginary. He sent what you, the actual Stephen, couldn't. Strange no?

I haven't given you any insults or vulgarity in this thread. 

STOP LYING!!!!! Your full of it and I am sick of your getting away with all of your deviousness for the sake of argument. 
Lol. Can you point to any insult I've made in this thread? And Ethan never uses vulgarity.

I see you have caused the Brother to be banned which you admit on another thread was your intention. 
Dee Dee himself is responsible for his ban. No one "caused" the mods to ban him. He could have easily modified his behavior.

Are you really not smart enough to figure out that some of the things God create change after creation? Really?

Stop it. You are the one who is lacking in logic Popoff!!!  Either your god created "ALL THINGS" as the bible says or he didn't.
So God is responsible for your posts.

You could also explain to us what this intestinal defect actually consists of ?
Why?

What problems is it causing for her?
She needed an operation.

What has happened to her since you brought up the matter of her plight.
Posted already.

Has she received any aid from YOU or you church?
Lol. She got nothing from you, the one doing the most complaining. It was the one you call imaginary that did something. Imagine that!

...or is this all just more of your bullshite that you now wish you hadn't said.
Since I think before I speak, there is nothing I wish I hadn't said. Calm down homer, if you're not going to help her, no one needs to report her condition to you.

Stop lying.
I'm not. Both in PM and on the board, I implored disgusted, hari, Dee Dee, and Salixes to tone it down to not be banned. I've even had a few words of caution for you.

I told them how to engage all their opinions without violating the CoC. None of them listened. (Well, Salixes is trying but its still touch and go)

Your own comments prove otherwise, you absolute fool!
How? Insults don't bother me. If you give me substance in your posts, you can insult me till you're blue in the face. I NEVER block anyone.

You are confusing your hatred for me with reality. And calling me an "absolute fool" is the kind of needless insult that will get you sanctioned. It doesn't hurt me, but it can hurt you. It isn't smart.

And after the mods sanction you, you'll imply it was unfair treatment and deny your behavior was poor.

Stop focusing on me so much. You have not been appointed official Ethan police. No one cares for your running multi-thread reports about what Ethan is doing that you don't like.

The board has mods. They have proven they can ban Ethan when they think it's warranted. Focus on thread topics, you are at risk of becoming obsessed with Ethan.

I don't know how people can expect to act like children with no respect and maturity dealing with others and NOT get the boot.
It may look like magic to you homer, but knowing who is going to get sanctioned is not rocket science. It's easy.

For example, do you think there was anyone with two brain cells to rub together who didn't know disgusted was going to get banned?

...all his wishes appear to be coming to fruition.
I don't wish anyone to get banned. I want people to start to behave in a way that doesn't force the mods to ban.

If a member constantly and continuously behaves in ways detrimental to the effective functioning of the board, that member will get banned, no matter if its you or me.

As I told you, the only ones to blame for bans are the people getting banned themselves. It isn't the fault of the mods, or other members who might be  "wishing" they get banned.

I told you this a week ago, but your poor reading comprehension must have tripped you up again.

The girls operation has been paid for. She has had the operation and she is recovering. After the real Salixes lied and skipped out of helping that little girl, the God he calls imaginary stepped in and provided the funds and the doctors to do it.

So while both you and Sal were sitting on your ample backsides doing nothing but complaining about how God does nothing, that "imaginary" God came through where neither the actual Sal or the actual you could do nothing but run off at the mouth.

Neither of you buttaching here can hold a candle to Athias, or Rosends, Or PGA2.0, or EtrnlVw. Away with all of you pretentious, self-important pretenders.

Athias is literally an anarchist. Do I need to say more?
He's more intelligent than you by miles and he's a theist.

A poster who is a theist and more intelligent than you by miles.

PGA2.0 is literally Mopac but with more words.
And yet PGA2.0 is a theist and more intelligent than you by miles.

EtrnlVw is a spiritualist without any evidence,

You've yet to point out a valid departure from the methodology,...
Both Rosends and I have. 

OK, so no, you can't point it out, got it.
Lol. OK.

You seem to be somewhere near the principle that something that's being measured knowing it's being measured affects the outcome,which can certainly be true...
Gee. Ya think?

except in every other case we can absolutely confirm the presence of this sort of entity. 
It doesn't matter whether you can or cannot confirm the presence of this sort of entity. The test results are bogus if you cannot insure a blind test.

Here is another problem you're facing. You say, "I simply start with "something hears prayers." That's all the experiment's hypothesis requires."

But that is a lie. You do not believe the God to whom your testees are praying exists, so you will NOT interpret a positive answer as God doing it. You will assume something that agrees with your current worldview.

Else you are basically telling us a magic trick is enough to change you into a theist. There are other things that also explain a living dog. Your test tells you nothing.

This is the same mistake early theists made. They saw the lightning and assumed there was no other explanation than God zapping the evil. There were other explanations, but they latched onto the one that agreed with their worldview.

Experiments are done so as to rule out other possible explanations. Otherwise, your test tells you nothing you didn't already know beforehand. Your experiment yields no valid information.

You seem to want to label the ambiguous trash coming out of your experiment a "successful answer", but whatever you call it, it remains useless trash. You know nothing more after your experiment than you did before it. Any conclusions you draw from it, for OR against God, is bogus.

Thinking about words and hoping some magic being and thinking that somehow it'll help you find your keys or cure your child of cancer, that's irrational. 
And yet its you telling us that an experiment on such irrationality is scientific. 

Right, I don't know what happened, ...
Then your experiment told you nothing.

but what the people were praying for DID HAPPEN,
But that doesn't necessarily mean that the prayer worked. There are other possiblr explanations.

so I'm going to include "maybe something heard one of their prayers and answered it" as a possibility in my subsequent experiments. 
So "maybe"..." Something" heard and answered is a "possibility". Isn't that what you were testing for in the first place?

What new information did your experiment give you? That something was a possibility? Isn't that what you were testing for in the first place?

so I'm going to include "maybe something heard one of their prayers and answered it" as a possibility in my subsequent experiments. 
It was a possibility in your first experiment too. Basically, because your first experiment tells you nothing, you want to repeat it. Repeat bogus experiments as often as you like, the data coming out will always be unusable for logical conclusions.

So in this sentence, you read every "he" as Jesus?
No. I read "Jesus's yacht" as a yacht owned by Jesus, and the 14 year old virgins as being supplied by Jesus for Epstein's "sorry Jesus".

...now he's on Jesus's yacht

...It's Epstein's yacht...

...it's his version of heaven, dum dum.
Yeah. I'm the dum dim ludo. At least I'm not a blatant liar.

@ludofl3x
People like you claim they work.
Well, that certainly makes me guilty.

I'd like to test it.
To what end? You don't believe it works. Irrational bias much?

Which is why the one I designed is not sloppy and follows scientific methodology.
It was sloppy and idiotic. 

You've yet to point out a valid departure from the methodology, which isn't shocking given your repeated displays in this topic of complete and total ignorance of the matter. 
Both Rosends and I have. Even you did. Bit as I said, the only resolution is an education that you don't currently have.

Please point out specifically why this test could not work.
I've told you several times. Rosands has told you several times. I can only tell you why the experiment is nonsense, I'm not responsible for your lack of education.

One of the prayers appears to have been answered. 
An apparently "answered" prayer doesn't mean a prayer was answered, it means you don't know what happened. Your experiment is bogus.

how you somehow would COMPLETELY exclude answered prayer as a potential cause for this effect. You won't.
I would. If all the experiment can do is find a potential cause,it's useless. God was a potential cause BEFORE you did the experiment. Your experiment told you nothing.

Epstein was into 14 year old girls. If....
If? You aren't sure?

..he went to heaven, and heaven is where everyone is super happy and all dreams come true, then chances are he's on a yacht full of 14 year olds. 
You forgot to say "Jesus's yacht.

Actually, HERE's what I said, you misquoting ignoramus:
Please don't lie. I did not misquote you.

Did he receive the same that he gave in terms of harm and hurt and evil? 
Not remotely, but he's dead. That's the end of that story. Well, unless he said really sorry, Jesus, and now he's on Jesus's yacht full of 14 year old girls in heaven, right? 
How is this not saying Jesus is a pimp of 14 year old girls Cletus?

Maybe if you kept your nose out of other people's conversations you'd have gotten that the subject of this discussion is Jeffrey EPstein as it comes from the discussion I'm having with a completely different poster, post #112. This is what PGA said. 

Finally, do you believe that Epstein got justice? Do you believe that what he dished out was equal to his punishment if there is no God? Did he receive the same that he gave in terms of harm and hurt and evil? 
Rationalize all you want Pedro, but if you think calling Jesus a pedophile is cool, I don't give one fig about whom you think I'm calling a pedophile.

Mind your business or read the whole discussion, asshole. 
I did read Ludo, and being vulgar and abusive now will not change that you insulted us.

For a guy calling Jesus a pedophile pimp, you have mighty thin skin. 

Sorry, but I call em as I see em.

Isaac Newton was a "Bible man".

I bet you won't step off a skyscraper anyway though.

It isn't what you actually say PGA2.0, it's whether you're a "bible man". This is what passes for intelligent these days
