Comment #142133 by BillySands on March 12, 2008 at 3:49 am

David

I'm afraid that he did argue that there were no moral absolutes and when he was asked was that statement itself an absolute replied by saying he was not going to get into that kind of circular argument.


Even if this were an absolute statement, it does not mean that there are moral absolutes. The problem is that you claim that there are, so the burden of proof is on you. Please provide some evidence

David

Certainly. All human beings are created equal. Racism is wrong. Dachau was wrong. These are moral absolutes.


Sorry David, I asked you to demonstrate that moral absolutes exist. I did not ask for your opinion. You have demonstrated that you believe they are wrong. You have not even come close to demonstrating they are wrong in any absolute sense.
The early church fathers had no problem with rasicm - they even debated whether black people had souls. The Nazi - did not think Dachau was wrong, and many believe that not all people are equal (think church and slavery - Augustine even said that people were slaves at god's pleasure, and that in his eves slavery was not a sin). Oh, and we were not created!

So David, it appears that moral values are relative. So, I ask you again, do you have any evidence that they are absolute - you cant just define something as an absoulte and say it is. You have to demonstrate it. Using your standard, it is just as valid to say that Dachau was good - where iare the reasons that it is or is not?
Please bear in mind in your next answer, that you have only given your opinion on what morality should be - you have not shown that there is an ultimate moral law dictated by your god - who if he was such a source must surly be constrained by it and is therefore not omnipotent.

It was at that point I realized you weren't very qualified. Not even to quote the bible. Or to understand that which you were quoting did nothing to help your case. The Bible actually says; 1In the begining God created the heavens and the earth.
2. and the Earth was formless and void and a darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
3. Then God said, "Let there be light."


Even more bizarrely, he thinks there were no earthquakes, tsunami's, disease, volcanoes before a talking snake made Eve eat the apple (strictly speaking the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Therefore, they could only have known that was supposedly evil to disobey god after they did this)

"In this they reflect our besieged atheistic friends who are becoming increasingly frustrated because their old fashioned modernistic arguments are more and more being exposed for the intellectual limitations they are. Richard Dawkins was quick off the mark â€" suggesting that the Asian Tsunami was once again an illustration of the fact that there is no God. In this he was using Darwin's old argument ""There seems to me too much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the parasitic wasp with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars, or that the cat should play with mice". Now we before we answer this let us consider its implications. If there is no God and no creator then what we are saying is that this is just the way things are. 'Mother Nature' is cruel and vicious. There is no answer â€" only despair, death and destruction. But what about Darwin's argument? He makes one big mistake â€" he assumes that the world as it is now is the world as God created it. But that is not the case. When you read Genesis One notice the repeated refrain, 'And God say that it was good'. God did not create the world to have natural disasters, cancer and death. Something came into the world which has upset the natural order of things and polluted the whole environment. That is why, as Paul tells us in Romans 8, the whole creation 'groans as in the pangs of childbirth'. We are faced with two choices â€" either the world is as it is because that is the way things are, or things are the way things are because sin came in and corrupted a good and perfect creation."

Since I have explained very clearly to David on this thread that there is absolutely no question of any such censorship taking place, it would be nice to think that he would post a message on his forum correcting this entirely false statement. I'm obviously not holding my breath though.


Yes, you would think that anyone - like a moderator (no names, but it is an anagram of Rev bandit odors) would feel a moral obligation to correct that. Isn't there a commandment about false witness?

mlearnedfriend,

Either your name is Greg or you both copied this off the same fundie site.

Unity - nice god vs nasty god? grace or deeds? to name but a few problems

self proclaimed authority - presuppositionalist to be polite about it

Endorsement by jesus - presuppositionalist, and he has not said anything that had been said before him.

Fulflled prophecy - such as? Do you really think isaiah 7:14 is really about jesus? What about Jeremiah's 70 years of captivity? More like 49! What about the promise that Solomon would always have a decendant on the throne of israel? to name but a few.

Archaeology - you are actually on to a total loser here: Jericho had no wall at the time joshua was supposedly on his baby killing spree. It was also deserted, as was Ai. Quirinus - we ctually have a list of govenors for that area - the bible is just wrong/inconsistent http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/quirinius.html

superiority of concept: What, you mean toning homosexuals, not planting two different crops in the same field and curing leprosy with avian blood? This is a highly subjective statement you are making here. Hinduism has been around a lot longer - surly by your logic, it must be superior to christianity.

It's ability. People claim the Koran changes them - as did the hitler rallies, so why does that mean any of them are true? The bible also lowers the quality of life for some believers.

I find use of the term "wearisome" rather odd, and am a bit surprised they are having to cope with size (especially considering what Josh deals with here) but apart from that the moderation process description suggests articles won't be removed, but simply won't be shown until they are approved. Is that the way it works (I have never posted)? I am also intruiged as to what the moderation criteria are.


I haven't posted on the "new" site because from previous experience, David removed some of my old posts that quoted some of his inflammatory remarks on this site. I basically dont want to waste time and have him remove other posts he does not like.
I remember a few of the FCOS members saying that they wanted to keep it the way it was. I cant imagine why David would not want to keep all those sectarian and evolution denying posts on his site after the atheists started reading.

I suggest one reason for the change was that David was constyantly getting his arse handed to him by the atheists.
I think it is interesting that he makes a comment about allowing people to post even if he does not like them. I guess he must not like quite a few folk then.

I wonder if some other moderator allowed -J-s post then David saw it and censored it. I dont know why an image of the air raid warden from Dad's army calling David Napolean just popped into my head there.

There is no misunderstanding. The situation is clear.

Note, the reason for creating "woman" in the frist place was mans loneliness. Not because she was to be the sexual opposite of him



Gen220 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

I have always thought of this as a failure on god's part.

I wonder which translation David thinks is inerrant?

The NJV?
Isaiah 7:14 "Behold, a virgin shall conceive"

The NJB "Behold, the young woman shall conceive"

Or

Psalm 22:16

"For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet." (KJV)

or

"For dogs have compassed me; a company of evil doers have inclosed me; like a lion they are at my hands and my feet." (Masoretic text)

Red sea/sea of reeds anyone?

Oh wait, David uses the NIV acknowledges the controversy whith a footnote about other possible translations. Not an insignificant difference, as this is supposedly a crucifixion prophecy. Read in context yhough, only a mad man would think that though.

David Robertson(2362): "...early on in my ministry we decided to take a busload of children on an outing to the beach. We hired the bus and were told it cost £87.50. The only people who knew about this were myself and my wife. We did not have the money and we knew the church did not. We felt a bit embarrassed about going to ask so instead we just prayed that the money would come in. When we left the bus I wrote the driver a cheque for £87.50 (money that we did not have). He told us just to make it a straight £80. As we left the bus some of the parents handed £30. Later that night someone put a cheque for £50 through the door. Now of course you can claim that it was just an enormous improbability. Or (as will doubtless happen) there will be those who say I am lying, forgetting etc. But I know because I was there."


Unlike David, let's think for a moment. This would require god making someone do something - you know, violate the concept of free will - the thing that he supposedly does not do, and supposedly that is why evil things happen.

The other day I did not have change for the coffee machine, and lo and behold, without asking, someone gave me a pound coin. If fact, it happens quite often, so what is your point?

I would have been more impressed if god found some money to feed the starving of the world. Still, David, that must make you and your pie stuffed dundonian kids feel all the more special

The anti papist guy is typical of many in the free church (yet David seems to be in denial). Robertson does not actually deal with the issue of the ordination vows.
Personally I think that if he does not agree with them, he should have the integrity not to take those vows. I also question the integrity of someone who would take such an oath if they did not believe it.
I think that confession just perpetuates the sectarian problems we have, and by accepting it, David is contributing to the root of the problem.

Nope, couldn't see it either. oh wait, here it is, totally refuting all that evidence of ancient faults, volcanoes, floods, earthquakes, fossils of diseased animals, fossils of animals that survived serious wounds and fossils of deformed animals - not to mention all those eggs that never hatched and all the bone spliners in fossil dinosaur shit and metor impact craters:

He [Dawkins] makes one big mistake; he assumes that the world as it is now is the world as God created it. But that is not the case. When you read Genesis One notice the repeated refrain, 'And God say that it was good'. God did not create the world to have natural disasters, cancer and death.

Someone wake me up when David provides some evidence for his supernatural claims. To be honest, all you need to do is look at the so-called virgin birth prophecy (Isaiah 7:14) in context to see that it is not about jesus nd that the gospel writers have lied. David's response was something along the lines of anyone who knows anything about prophecy knows that the prophecy need not be binding to the context or the person it was about - he never justifiued why - If I recall when I challenged him to support that claim, he called me a fundie - Time for your medication David!

However, for a theist to act in such a way, they are not only trying to wind the atheist up but (in their mind) actually saying "Fuck you, go to hell" and truly beliving that to be the consequence.


Would it surprise you to know that this has been pointed out to him before and he said that we were fundies who did not want to believe in god?
I think he also said that we were too sensitive as fundies are to those who disagree with them.
I imagine that if there is a loving god, then hell must surly hold a place for him.

I have also pointed outMatt 18:4 "Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 "And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me; 6 but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."

I wonder if all these "new" guys would care to ask Robertson to ever so nicely answer the questions

Angela's Ashes?


Yes, it does sound lik it would be something from there, but I remember a colleague telling me it a long time ago - before any of this stuff was of interest to me.

From what I hear though, there is a lot of truth in Angela's ashes. Did I also mention I have a friend who was told she will go to hell if she ever married a protestant?

Ok, what do you think of David's groundless accusation that we are all Atheist Fundamentalists and that since we don't believe in his particular god that we have the same moralistic tendencies as Nazis?


Erm, he just called us a church, what do you think?

Really? Was it an FCOS church?


I cant remember, but think it was RC. I have mentioned before though someone in the FCOS who cant enjoy herself because the concept of hell has been drummed into her

Are you sure we shouldn't try sprinkling the wafer with Holy Water first? That is how you stop the undead, isn't it?


Yes, Jesus is a zombie, not a vampire. We could boil him in tea.

Philip, did you meet him in person or just through this site? My experience is that corresponce over the internet often gives false impressions of motivation (I've sometimes got into situations where I've upset someone in a letter / e-mail and resorted to speaking personally to sort things out).


Well, you read the comments and the links to other comments he made and give your opinion.
If you actually want to do what David doesn't - discuss things properly, then I'm sure you
will be made most welcome.
I hear Hitler could be charming in person too.

I have met David in person, though, and he's quite an affable chap. The sort of guy you'd probably enjoy a pint with.


Doubt it. I dont drink for starters!
Was David crying to you then?

PS, In case you did not notice, this is not a church, but I dont think a "friend" of David would have the clarity of vision to see that.

Quetz, can we take one of those wafers and drive a stake through it? I remember hearing a story of a child who was punished once for puking up jesus.

David, self praise is no praise.


Maybe David has multiple personalities like god, who so loved the world that he drowned it

It's his mum. She and I had a thing once...


I remember, and apparently she enjoyed it
