Rosa attacks attacks and attacks, not my points, but me!
After commenting back and forth, Rosa deletes my comment. Here is a screen shot of it:
I decided to take a "print screen" of the comment because I had a feeling Rosa would delete it. To test my hypothesis, I reposted it again, here is the screen shot:
As expected, Rosa did delete the original comment as well as this one.
If you go to Rosa's blog now, you will not find any of these comments. (http://rosarubicondior.blogspot.com/2011/04/do-you-want-to-convert-atheist.html?showComment=1341119222520#c2909491945823401046)
They were deleted. It is understandable why Rosa would delete them. They expose the intellectual dishonesty that composes Rosa's blog.
What is also troubling is Rosa's constant request for proof of God when I never offered to do such a thing. My only intent was to refute Rosa's claims. Rosa's own blog post does not request proof but rather shows what constitutes evidence for God, according to Rosa. Rosa apparently has issue comprehending what is read.
Rosa even goes on another blog criticizing me for not providing evidence. This is absurd because again my intention was clear on Rosa's blog and mine. (http://rosarubicondior.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/how-fundamentalists-get-their-head.html)
Here is the screen shot in case Rosa deletes that one:
Notice that I answer Rosa's claim that I some how ran away from providing evidence. Refuting a blog about what constitutes evidence does not mean providing evidence for God.
Here is the dialog we had on Rosa's comments:
- Sacerdotus23 June 2012 09:50This is too easy to debunk. Stay tuned to my blog. I will debunk this post and the 2 links Rosa provided. :)ReplyDelete
- I could, but I would take up most of your page since I tend to write a lot. :) Here it goes: http://sacerdotvs.blogspot.com/2012/06/rosa-rubicondior-evidence-gaffe.htmlReplyDelete
- As usual, you resort to Ad hominem. Instead of attacking the arguments, you attack the arguer. This is common among Agnostics/Atheists such as yourself who do not have the intellectual confidence to articulately construct a rebuttal. They attack the arguer and falsely throw around fallacy accusations in order to save face.ReplyDelete
Moreover, you erroneously make charges of False Dichotomy. No such attempt was made to force anyone to accept a position. A False Dichotomy is when one is not of A then one is of B. Any well read person would see that my blog post has no such content. It is merely a commentary of your blog and why it is irrational.
To date, you have not provided any evidence supporting your counter argument that my blog post is "bankrupt." Until you do so, your ad hominem comments proudly display your defeat.
PS. I have no problem posting comments as long as they are not vulgar, hateful, and they pertain to the discussion. - If you don't like your lies being publicly pointed out, try not lying.Reply
I appreciate you wouldn't win any arguments with it but you can't imagine you're actually winning any with your present tactics, can you?
Maybe you don't know what a false dichotomy is. It's where you don't offer any evidence for your claim but just attack your opponents argument. It relies on your audience being gullible, parochial and stupid enough to think your god is the only alternative on offer. I can't speak for your normal audience, and maybe your obvious contempt for their intelligence is justified, but I wish you wouldn't insult the readers of this blog with that condescending assumption.
They will, of course, have noticed that you don't have any evidence for your god - which is why you know you need to use dishonest tactics in the first place.
Will you have the courage to take the challenge in this blog soon, or are we to be treated to lots more excuses for not doing so, coupled with more abuse and dishonest tactics in an attempt to divert attention from your abject failure? - Rosa, by your own definition you are guilty of false dichotomy. I do not see any evidence for the claims you make here. However, your understanding of the False Dichotomy fallacy is incorrect.ReplyDelete
A False Dichotomy deals with an "Either/Or" argument.
For example:
First: Propositions made are reciprocal to one another.
A can be either T or F
B is the converse of A whether A is T or F
(A Concise Intro to Logic - Hurley)
As you can see, I am not the one relying on an audience being gullible. You are the one misinforming your audience. Perhaps my presence here irritates you because this is not the first time I have corrected you. :)
Furthermore, my comments were not about providing evidence for anything, rather, they are a critique of your nonsensical post.
Someone retweeted your tweet and I saw this "evidence" blog link you were advertising and laughed at it as I read it because it holds no ground as I have demonstrated on my own blog. I then decided to write on it so others can see how you and kaimatai proposed ideas that have no weight to them. Had the person not retweeted your tweet, I would not have seen it due to your cowardice act of blocking me after I proved myself to be an opponent you could not deal with intellectually last year.
Rosa, with all due respect, your blog offers no challenge. Your blogs repackage the same misconceptions and lack of knowledge on Scripture and Christianity that Atheists and Agnostics have demonstrated throughout the centuries. You quote Biblical passages as if you've discovered some strange thing about each that no one else has. Your misconceptions have answers. Whether you accept them or not is another issue.
I will not even touch upon your blog's scientific illiteracy...
It seems to me that your blog is your way of indirectly asking questions regarding religion. I think behind that "atheist/agnostic" facade is a curious person looking to learn about God, Scripture and Faith. This seems to be very common I have noticed.
Just now I posted this and am sure Rosa will delete it:
The fact that you deleted my comment shows you have failed and lost. :) Moreover, you do not attack my points but instead attack me. Nevertheless, I took screen shots and will post on my blog showing the world the dishonesty you represent and the fear you have of engaging someone who has corrected you on countless occasions. Thank you for showing the world that Atheism is irrational and cannot be defended.
