TOL is for Dialogue!!!

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

they don't want to answer questions

aren't you just trying to trap them?

I wouldn't say that

what would you say?

I am just trying to get them to think

about what?

what they believe

why can't you just quote the bible?

do they understand what they are quoting?

it means just what it says

does it?

if the spirit is moving you

don't you have to test the spirits?

what is test?

a word that is not in your bible

Such a wide variety!

I usually get something along the lines of "Oh yeah? Well what about (insert wild accusations pertaining to some controversy that has very little if anything to do with the topic I had commented on)?!?"

 

[aikido7]

So dialogue, darn it!

Tell it to Meshak. She gets cruel mockery and gets called names. And all she does is quote a red-letter edition of the Christian Bible.

Curious and puzzling.

 

[resodko]

like fool said long ago in a different context, she must enjoy it or she'd stop :idunno:

 

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

they won't answer my questions

maybe they don't have the answers

that could be

they know you are going to ask another question

 

[resodko]

ask a question

any question


i got all the answers! :banana:

 

[chrysostom]

ask a question

any question


i got all the answers! :banana:

are you saved?

 

[resodko]

yes i am

 

[chrysostom]

yes i am

how do you know that?

 

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

they won't answer my questions

maybe they don't have the answers

they don't

can you give us an example?

I asked if a belief in reincarnation could affect your salvation

what was the answer?

they didn't know what my belief was

what is your belief in reincarnation?

you don't need to know that to answer the question

maybe he really wants to know what your belief is

maybe he doesn't want to answer the question

so why don't you answer his question?

I did

what was your answer?

that I do believe in reincarnation

do you think it is salvific?

no

is that the way you answer a question?

yes

 

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

we can't agree on terms

like what?

born again

who knows what that means?

why do they use it?

why don't you ask them?

I do

what do they say?

it depends on who you ask

you are not answering the question

it does depend on who you ask

 

[chrysostom]

so why is dialogue so difficult?

just ask an atheist if they want God to exist

is that a trick question?

ubetcha

so what do they say?

everything but yes or no

so what does this prove?

how intellectually dishonest they are

that is mean

you may be right
