Since your little friend has decided to block people who don't agree with him, I'll respond to your post here.

I'll actually admit to playing games. It's a good way to get people to think about things in a way they may not usually do so. I've played games in the past, I still play games and I will continue to play games in the future.

You, on the other hand, attempt to play games with the intention to divert and avoid discussing things you are either unable or uncomfortable dealing with. You either don't realise that you are doing so, or you are denying it for some reason known only to yourself. But you certainly do play games.

But I'll repeat my offer to you. This is a legitimate offer, no games, no bluffs, not BS. I'm willing to have a mature and legitimate debate with you with only a couple of small conditions. Firstly, if you make a claim, it has to be supported by legitimate evidence. Secondly, you have to be willing to consider material that goes beyond your faith.

How about it? Willing to have a real debate?

@Bushranger Good luck with that. He blocked me too.Not that is matters. He was never up for an intelligent conversation. His block is an admission that he cant compete.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Yeah, it's the cowards way out, if you ask me. But I live in hope that one day GodSpeed will surprise me and actually present a logical appropriate argument.

@Bushranger Hope is very akin to Faith.. I would be careful of that slippery slope. 😷
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@whowasthatmaskedman Oops, I best be careful then, lol. Don't worry, there's not much hope of me being dragged back into that mess.

That's your game, Bushranger, not mine.

Why? You use faith and hope everyday.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
@GodSpeed63 You are correct about that Speedy. But I choose what to invest my faith and hope in. Even if I buy a lottery ticket, I am not really expecting to win. I am buying the hope of winning. Because unless I buy the ticket I have no hope. As a social construct religion forming the basis of community has some value. Its what you do with it that makes the difference. When that includes ignoring or discounting modern science or Western Medicine thats destructive. God is not going take my toothache away..Just leave religion in its own realm of Faith is all I ask. Where the two meet is Norman Vincent Peales's "Power of Positive Thinking" otherwise known as the Placebo effect. If god exists, thats where she is..😷

@GodSpeed63 You really don't get it, do you.

When have I ever ignored or discounted science?

It's you that doesn't get it, Bushranger.

@GodSpeed63 Your responses have degenerated into meaningless attempts to turn around your interlocutors comments without even an attempt at presenting anything useful to the conversation.

I'm concerned that this may represent a decline in your psychological well being. As such, I'm going to go easy on you from now.

Don't accuse me of what you're doing, Bushranger, it never works.

I'm concerned that this may represent a decline in your psychological well being, Bushranger. I've always been easy on you.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@GodSpeed63 Well, you've just convinced me I was right. Oh well, I suppose you can't really help it.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Bushranger [quote]Well, you've just convinced me I was right.[/quote]

Not a chance, Bushranger, you convinced yourself you were right, I didn't convince you of anything. Start facing the truth for a change instead of hiding behind your so called 'intellect.'
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@GodSpeed63 Nah, not going to get involved with that. I suggest you see a counsellor.
GodSpeed63 · 61-69, M
@Bushranger [quote]Nah, not going to get involved with that[/quote]

Why does knowing the truth bother you so much, Bushranger?
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@GodSpeed63 It's the decline in the quality of your responses that bothers me. It's indicative of psychological decline.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Bushranger It's either that, or my hypothesis is correct and he's just a troll. What ever it is, the man isn't worth your time. His thought process is so dumb that you make more progress explaining quantum physics to a toad.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Kwek00 Yeah, I guess my hope of having a reasonable debate with him is in vain.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Bushranger I gave up a while ago. But some people are more stubborn then me. But he's so dumb that I can't imagine that he's not trolling people. It's just too stupid to be real.
Bushranger · 70-79, M
@Kwek00 That does appear to be the case.

You're not the only one I reply to, you know, Bushranger.

Lost another debate, I see, gentlemen. When will you guys ever learn that pushing the lie of evolution to become the truth of God never works, never has worked and never will work.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@GodSpeed63 ROFL, "debate" what an egotrip are you having? Lol, a discussion at best. But even for a discussion the other side has to be open for reason else it's just saying things to one another.

You call it an ego trip. Learn to spell. I call it a breaking heart.
