Go romans120! Beat that notorious apologist for theism Philosophos into the ground. Twisted Evil

I threw up in my mouth a little bit reading your post, Philosophos so...errr, well done, I guess?
*chuckles at your use of Romans 1:20 in a debate against romans120*

Not a bad start Romans. There's a lot more you could've hit him with, but you've got the basics. Interesting tactic going with the microscopic pink unicorn rather than the more common invisible pink unicorn, we'll have to see how that works out. Cool

Is it just me, or did Philosophos royally own the first section?

Rather scary, but I will give it to Romans that pretending to not beliving in a giant sky deity is harder then pretending TO believe in it.

No I don't think Philosophos did at all. He represented a somewhat lower level of theist and the big misconception of the term atheist (which is clear that his character represented)

I think romans won that little bit. Becase you can still have faith in something and be an atheist you just can't have faith in a god.

I also enjoyed romans' little bit of comedy at the end (atleast I hope it was comedy haha)

i think Philosophos has made a better argument than any other theist i have ever spoken too, which i find quite strange

Romans120 demolished Philosophos, and with humour (icing on the cake)

Round One:

Philosophos.......0

Romans120.......1

this IS as interesting as i imagined it would be. O_O

if we could only get romans to see how unnecessary his "special revelation" theory is, we'd have a monstrously capable and devastatingly intelligent a-theist in our midsts...

Philosophos,
I really liked the style with which your first point was written. It made me LOL.

Well done, both of ya.

Actually, I think the burden of proof argument blew philosophos's point out of the water. Also it makes me want to clarify that I am not a 100% atheist, I'm an agnostic who is leaning so close to atheism that I consider myself one in general discussion.
