I will get thinking...unless you consider my threads "that same old crap"

Is your second sentence meant to describe the first - or was it merely an exclamation in something you don't believe in?

It's a flat expletive.

I have an idea. We all know each others point of view by now. We know who believes in God and who doesn't. Could we start a thread, where everyone has to switch roles? If you believe, you must argue against God, and if you don't believe you must argue for the existence of God.

So, in my first post I would declare (to those who comes in from the cold) t ...[text shortened]... within the thread, whatever you argue for you are in reality against. Sorry about that one. 🙂 ]

I started a thread like this once before, where people had to argue the opposite of what they actually believed. The point was that you should be able to articulate your opponents position in order to effectively oppose it in the future. Only the non-believers participated. All the theists were too timid to take part. So we had all the atheists arguing for the existence of god and no one to oppose us.

Adaptation--role play? Imaginary conversations?

Can we switch our debating styles too? e.g. No1's style as opposed to KJ. 😵

1. Is right and wrong intrinsic?
2. If it is intrinsic, is it also common knowledge that we know
everyone else knows about right and wrong?
3. If it is intrinsic, and we know everyone knows about it, does that
mean we all have the same source or different ones that we get this
knowledge from?
4. Can we know?

Then why would you not do it?

Why would I want to insult God by playing a debate game by making
claims about Him I do not believe in my heart to be true?

jesus nailed

the number of nails used(good to argue about as there is no real proof)
and was he nailed in the palms or in the wrist
as a meat cutter i know well that its though the carpus
a nail though the palm will hardly support the weight of a severed arm
let alone the whole carcuss i mean body

(EDIT) i have been told about the severed arm by a friend
its not from personal experience

He was nailed in the wrists and ankles. They had four nails, but a young Gypsy boy stole one. Jesus blessed the Gypsy boy, "From now on your descendants will be able to steal without being seen." I saw it on America's Most Wanted. Is there a better source of history?
