FreeThinkerNZ Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 He says Jeebus was not a god, and he seems not to be a xian. But it should still be entertaining to watch. BTW, Darwin was wrong, therefore god. http://www.ex-christian.net/topic/62847-why-are-we-here/?p=958161 http://www.ex-christian.net/topic/62850-if-the-material-universe-created-manwoman-and-the-earth-out-of-nothing/?p=958153 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 pssst... why are we whispering? I feel like Black James Bond. He seems harmless, I am curious how he knows there is 1 god, 1 supernatural entity. Not 2, not 3, not over 9000, but 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Here's my bet of 5 spotted goats that he's a Muslim. Also, my 2nd choice, JW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhim Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I actually enjoy that he explicitly claims to believe in one or more gods, but does not believe in Jesus. This is, after all, an ex-Christian forum rather than an atheist forum. Not sure I approve of his views on evolution, but again this isn't a science forum, and I'm not here to debate science. Fundamentally, I can usually find some significant ground with any person who does not believe in an eternal hell for people who reject Jesus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deva Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 What's wrong with having a theist here? Not all Ex-C's are atheists. Just a reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'm just curious as to who this 1 god he claims is... He said "One True God..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhim Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Here's my bet of 5 spotted goats that he's a Muslim. Also, my 2nd choice, JW. Heh, I've actually never met a Muslim creationist. Usually they're more concerned with proving that the Bible is corrupted but not entirely wrong, and that Jesus was a mortal prophet who told of Mohammad's coming. If he's a Muslim this would be an interesting turn of events for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 He does seem to criticize jesus a bit in his posting. Now he's hesitant when pressed to give the name whereby he calls his 'creator' Rest assured, Black Bond will stay on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtify Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 What's wrong with having a theist here? Not all Ex-C's are atheists. Just a reminder. True, although he is not an ex-c either. I am guessing by his "man didn't come from monkeys"; "jesus wasn't god" and "the trinity was a satanic plot" assertions that Roz is right to bet his goats on him being Muslim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant we have a new argumentative-prosyletising-sanctimonious-theist-of-some-kind. Quite a different thing to all our lovely deists, pantheists, theosophists and so on. I should have been clearer in the thread title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 add the fact that he's just dodged the question when asked point blank. What name do you call your god? He said in his opening he wanted a respectful conversation. If you state that you're a theist and that you don't believe in evolution, it would be polite to give the name you call your god.

Ravenstar Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Maybe he's ashamed of his god. (?) I really don't understand why a true believer would hide his god's name. It's kind of apostate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems harmless, I am curious how he knows there is 1 god, 1 supernatural entity. Not 2, not 3, not over 9000, but 1. You could ask him, but he'll just insist that He already answered that in a previous post, and use special pleading to "prove" his point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverlandrut Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 For the record, I'm betting Muslim. I have no problem with him being here. I enjoy a respectful debate with a theist if he knows how to actually make a case. But this guy is using every fallacy in the book. My favorite parts are when we all give him the explanations he is asking for, then he turns around and says we have not answered his questions. Refusal to acknowledge and address responses with a continual insistence that we haven't addressed his points pisses me off. I'm done with this idiot.

thereisnoperfect Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm not impressed with his continually insistence on things being true with no evidence and then wanting "respectful" discussion while telling us we're all going to be judged when we die for what we believe. If you want respectful discussion, start by showing respect to where the people you're talking to are. And show respect by answering the questions directly put to you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Moderator buffettphan Posted June 7, 2014 Super Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2014 He might be Mike Ramey who posted on the main blog. I've asked him -- we'll see if he'll give us a straight answer. See post #132 here: http://www.ex-christian.net/topic/62850-if-the-material-universe-created-manwoman-and-the-earth-out-of-nothing/page-7#entry958512 If it is the same guy, we've got a new chew toy.
