Oh I'm sorry, did you expect to be able to have private conversations on a public forum?

My answering someone else's question does not mean I hate you. It means I did not expect you to answer. Turns out I was right.

Actually, I was just demonstrating your emotional attachment to me. And sorry, but I never answer to straw man arguments. *shrug*

Its also better not claim that 99% of God's creation is not gay, and then dodge having to explain about the other 1% being gay.

Its better not to claim that God made lesbians ugly when there are quite a lot of beautiful lesbians in the world.




Yes, your analogy is a joke. You said "99% of His creation is not gay. That ranks an "A" in any book". So you are either grading him or comparing his work to the grading of students. Both of which are stupid.

The idea that 99% equates to an A in anything except grading students is a joke. If your Dr saves 99% of your life is that good? If your mechanic fixes 99% of the engine problem is that good?

Your equating 99% as good for a supreme God is a joke.

No more emotional attachment to you than to a video game I play for entertainment.

Your demonstration fails.
 
Someday when you decide to quit dodging and start staying in an argument maybe we can have a real discussion.

Unfortunately I doubt that will happen. But when you start with "god created AIDs to kill gays, god makes lesbians ugly and similar insane statements I can see why you would want to duck out.

When He has given man free will, to have 99% choose correctly is indeed excellent, IMHO. *shrug*

You're the one who ducked, first with the Straw Man, then the Ad Hom, now with emotional appeals. *shrug*

So the 99% of his creation that you were referring to was mankind?

If that is the case then God doesn't get credit. Man gets credit for making the choice.

You think of yourself as a man who caught a fish but reads way more into it?

OR

You think of yourself as a fish?

Either way that's nice but doesn't really get us anywhere seeing as what you are is someone who is quite good at winding people up on message boards. :)

No, I did not duck out. You require a very narrow line of what you will discuss. Any sarcasm or deviation from it will result in your refusing to discuss a topic. That works when you are setting Maineman up, but no one else follows your rules to the letter. That is why you duck out.

That is why the points I brought up were not addressed. You pick and choose only the things that you can ridicule. But don't like ridicule being returned.

I'll be happy to debate you on these topics. I stay and make my points. You refuse to even attempt to make a point. You chicken out and hide.

Actually, you have consistently created caricatures of my arguments and tried to debate them, and I have called you on that consistently.
