That does not in any way demonstrate that your "rules" are logical; you just happen to think they are fair when in fact they probably aren't. You have demonstrated to me in other threads that you can't prove anything. If you can prove me wrong by actually answering some of my questions, I'll...

Your "rules" do not override the rules of the board in general, and if you think I am breaking the rules of the board, feel free to report me. However, your "rules" are not necessarily supported by standard rules used in debate, and I see no reason why I have to follow them, seeing as you seem...

Oh no, you don't; you are going to sit here and respond to my points before I answer your question. Stop trying to change the subject. If I respond to your new question, you're not going to bother defending your previous point, which I believe requires good justification, which I think you have...

Well here's why it matters. If you're trying to make a point by redefining agnosticism, I'd like to know what it is. And in future debates, it's not convenient for you to switch between both definitions because we are aware of your definition of agnosticism and the standard one, and we'll call...

And personally, I'd rather have friends who are logical than friends who are not. Or at least are logical most of the time. Because I think logic is necessary to make a good judgment, and just because most people don't use it isn't a reason why it shouldn't be promoted, or that relationships...

That depends. Because people often make assumptions about family members, (eg, that you have to be nice to them, or that they have to be nice to you; apparently, that's not how most people here think, so I'm happy for them) they're easy to exploit. Because you can expect another family member...

I'd have to disagree for purely logical reasons. Just because you don't respect your parents doesn't mean your friends can't or shouldn't, and conversely, if you respect them, it doesn't mean they have to. Your friends can make up their own minds about whether or not they want to respect your...

That still doesn't answer the question, since I am asking what you believe, not what you know about the validity of the events in the bible. And it's not over because we're being ridiculous; it's over because you're not willing to play by the rules of logic and debate. I don't care if you think...

Then this debate with you is over. Since you refuse to give an answer for that last question, I am going to suppose, based on the information you have given me, that you believe the events in the bible happened, and that you believe they happened based on nothing more than faith. If I'm wrong...

Actually, it's not really 100 questions, it's just the same few questions asked repeatedly because you refuse to provide any answer for them, and instead complain. It doesn't matter what you say, it still doesn't change the fact that you haven't answered them. So if you really have nothing else...

No, agnosticism is a position on knowledge, not belief. If you want to argue this further, I suggest you take it to the other thread on the definitions of science, theory, atheism, etc.

Interestingly, people have done studies on past life regression, and they found that the more suggestive people were to being hypnotized, the more successfully it worked. There was one group who was told that the hypnotism would not work (and if it had any sort of truth, it wouldn't matter what...

It would be behind your back if it were done in private on MSN or PMs, but since it's out in the public where everyone can see it, I fail to see how we're backstabbing you. The fact that you choose not to answer our questions is your problem; not ours. And once again, evolution says nothing...

That's what I meant by suggestion; you don't even have to have known anything about it; what most likely happened was that the hypnotist looked into some guy who died and made suggestions to you that would lead you to talking about the guy, even if you know nothing about him. And if you are...

Great, then stop arguing about it and just use the agreed to definition that everyone else is familiar with. You have used sophistry several times in order to convince us that we should give up the commonly accepted definitions of atheism and agnosticism in favor of yours (it wouldn't prove...

And do you believe we can observe these spiritual entities? Like do we know what they look like? You're referring to Hypnotism, right? It's actually been shown that hypnotism reveals nothing new or supernatural; what it actually boils down to is confirmation bias, and just really wanting to...

You know what, this is just pure sophistry. Unless you have anything to offer to this debate with your idea of agnosticism, I suggest you drop it here, and if you don't like the way this is going, you can continue the discussion about the definitions in the other thread. So, you're trying to...

Please define soul. If it is not a metaphorical concept, please also explain why you are so sure it exists.

*Update* I was originally going to use this as an artbook entry, but since it's not happening, I'd consider it safe to post it now. Here's my interpretation of Beelzy in a Viking costume.

Ja, denn du bist 9 Stunde vor uns.
