Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI just prefer a good ole feeding frenzy, but I'm not sure what category that would fit in to. I'm getting frustrated with people refusing to answer my questions. I want to know did the baby Jesus cry.
Which are better: Debates about Spirituality, debates about debates about Spirituality, or debates in which the two fuse together?
Is it me or did this forum suddenly become boring? I guess the interesting threads have used up their steam. No1 just repeats himself, Ivanhoe is through, frogstomp is posting off nonsequiters, bbarr hasn't been around, and nobody cares if the baby Jesus cried or not. Even my games have dried up after an initial rush.... (Yawn). I might as well go to sleep - what fun is that?!?
Originally posted by ColettiThe point is not whether or not the baby Jesus cried, but that some of the most overtly religious people deny Jesus' humanity. That was my point. I think that's an important question to be answered.

Originally posted by kirksey957Not this one... And who knows, maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Don't know. I know he cried as an adult, but that's all.

Since no1 has a strong opinion on this matter but can't be bothered to post it here, I'll do it for him:
"I am not an academic interested in a nitpicking review of the semantics of the argument itself; I'm interested in the points I raise."
Hopefully others will show more initiative in participating so that I don't have to cull their opinions from other threads to post them here.
Originally posted by DoctorScribblesI guess I don't understand the question. But I think the latter two are better, if you mean adding to the debate thinks like pointing out fallacies in your opponents argument, poor reasoning, etc. Anyone can present arguments without regard to validity - but what you end up with are dumb arguments - lots of hot air.
