CALLED DAWKIN'S BLUFF!

Post Reply New Topic

I went to a seminar last night where Dawkins was reading from his book. All the way through, Christians were tearing ofF their crosses and beads and throwing them away while Dawkins cheered then for seeing reason. However, I jUSt sat through it with a smug smile on my face, waiting to drop my bomb that would defeat him utterley for the last time.

Al the end of the talk I stood up and said, " so basically you deny God from lack of evidence." he said "yes".

I said "I have no evidence of your thoughts, do I? So how do I know you have a brain???"

He just stood there, quivering. Then he fell to his knees and started crying, "God forgive me, what have I done, I have sinned, what have I done".
Then he crawled away on his hands and knees dripping tears on the stage, while everyone applauded me. Then I led them to the nearest church.

Haha, now how about you grow some balls and act out on your fantasy! Judging by your post he would dissemble you in an instant.

I think it's jealousy, that Dawkins gets the attention, and the beautiful and smart wife (Lalla Ward).

Yo Mutate, you suck! Take your Dawkins wet-dreams elsewhere.

I think the problem ragtime is epistemology. She doesn't believe personal revelation to be valid for proving something about the nature of the world. Essentially, such a statement by her makes God unprovable, as even if miracles did happen, they say nothing about the nature of the being doing them, even though they would be either proof that there are divine forces, or disproof of some of the things we know about reality. However, your statement leaves open the problem of trust as many people have different revelations and contradicting ones, how can it be assured that yours is the right god and the others are not, how can it be assured that this isn't merely a mental fantasy?

Also, Mutate, that would NEVER work. Do you think that Dawkins is a complete idiot? At least give your opponent some credit even if you think that they are wrong, as his belief isn't gutless but rather one that demands some proper consideration. Even if you defeated him he wouldn't likely surrender as he is as strong, or stronger in his disbelief than most Christians are in their belief. I really think he would simply claim that such is a philosophical problem known as the problem of other minds( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_other_minds ), but simply get rid of this matter by claiming that most people have biochemical processes that we know as thoughts and that it would be unreasonable to consider him different in that manner. It is a foolish fantasy, and you would need some apologetics much much much stronger. Frankly, you would do better with abducting him and murdering him then dumping his body in a lake, and murdering someone while getting away with it is often a harder challenge.
