Nineteenth-century agnostic Robert G. Ingersoll branded Revelation "the insanest of all books".Thomas Jefferson omitted it along with most of the Biblical canon, from the Jefferson Bible, and wrote that at one time, he "considered it as merely the ravings of a maniac, no more worthy nor capable of explanation than the incoherences of our own nightly dreams."

http://www.constitution.org/tj/jeff16.htm You see what I did there? I selected an interpretation that fitted my a priori ideology without substantial argumentation. By the way, you still have not replied to my refutation of your false characterization of my position on abortion. Just thought id add this if you want to take up the topic again, or if you prefer just to avoid it like the plague due to the fact that your argument had no intellectual merit.
Moridin, I've grown to avoid discussion with you. There are some people, when you talk to them, you just leave feeling dirty. It is that special combination of tactics and tenacity that leave a grimy sensation. You produce that sensation, as do the most ignorant of creationists and the most ravenous of racial or sexual bigots.

TheOtherHorseman, your reaction is a very common attitude for a person when confronted with evidence against their ideology. They try to rationalize the failure of their worldview by blaming the one who refuted it. Don't you understand that you are behaving in exactly the same way as creationist or racist bigots do when they are disproved? They simply assert that they are not going to discuss it any longer, takes their football and goes home in a last desperate effort to save face. A face already filled with tears of impotent rage and desperation. The immaturity of your worldview speaks for itself; I will accept that post as your concession in this discussion. Remember that it was you that refused to have a rational discussion about abortion. It was you who tried to play the hurt feelings card in this discussion. It was you who insistingly made straw mans out of your opponents position and it was you who acted like you had not. Your debate mentality represents a lot of things I find despicable; the unwillingness to reconsider your position, the unwillingness to consider evidence, the unwillingness to have a rational discussion and the unwillingness to accurately represents your opponents argument. Most encounters with you also leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Not because of the fact that you disagree with my positions, because I wholeheartedly support your right to do so. Not because of the fact that your arguments are falsehoods, but because of your systematic unwillingness for everything that is rational. A person who shows just a disregard for rationality and proper rational discussion is a very sad person.

I wasn't interested in refuting your arguments; I barely even read them. I'm more interested in the fact that you're a very bad debater.

I'd say that the definition of a bad debater is one who makes constant fallacies in his arguments, knowing full well that they are fallacies (and decrying others who make them), but claiming that he's allowed to do so because he's "right." It really has little to do with this thread at all, and everything to do with your habits in every. other. thread.

Read the damned threads yourself, I really do not care enough to sit here and write a dissertation on why you suck. You know where your errors are.
