May 2018

There is someone here who, at one point, asked for references to things he said, then when supplied with the references proceed to delete the posts. Screen shots are more than appropriate, if not necessary to keep certain theists honest.

'The term is used chiefly of an intellectual movement of the 17th and 18th centuries elleng May 2018 #1
True. And I feel that many theists accept that view. eom guillaumeb May 2018 #5
Speculation Lordquinton May 2018 #26
Of course. And I framed it as an opinion. guillaumeb May 2018 #32
It's still mere speculation Lordquinton May 2018 #45
Some could have been atheists Eko May 2018 #2
Speculation. guillaumeb May 2018 #7
Maybe, maybe not. Eko May 2018 #18
He seems to have opposed the negative aspects of the institution. guillaumeb May 2018 #20
I dont know. This one is pretty strong. Eko May 2018 #22
Jefferson also wrote that each generation needs a revolution. guillaumeb May 2018 #29
What does that have to do with religion? Lordquinton May 2018 #46
It has to do with Jefferson and his views. guillaumeb May 2018 #65
So it's a non-sequitur meant to distract from the topic Lordquinton May 2018 #76
You seem confused. guillaumeb May 2018 #108
No, you're just trying to cover for yourself Lordquinton May 2018 #128
Congratulations on convincing yourself. guillaumeb May 2018 #136
Wow, a stock answer with less than zero substance Lordquinton May 2018 #142
Amazingly enough, I thought the same about your response. guillaumeb May 2018 #145
And again distracting from the topic at hand Lordquinton May 2018 #151
And again, missing the point. guillaumeb May 2018 #154
Did you even read what I wrote? Lordquinton May 2018 #169
You're missing the point Major Nikon May 2018 #182
It's a good thing I'm used to these responces Lordquinton May 2018 #190
As predictable as a broken record Major Nikon May 2018 #183
Oh my... Lordquinton May 2018 #191
A choir of one, apparently. trotsky May 2018 #202
There's always the fan club Major Nikon May 2018 #203
Update Lordquinton May 2018 #213
It would save a lot of time if he just numbered his responses Major Nikon May 2018 #214
I think you missed... NeoGreen May 2018 #215
I'm going to have to combine some of them Major Nikon May 2018 #216
how about delineated variations... NeoGreen May 2018 #217
That would save a lot of time Lordquinton May 2018 #218
Someone should open a thread on it Major Nikon May 2018 #219
Perhaps when more time is available Lordquinton May 2018 #220
Did he really say that? dont think so. Eko May 2018 #164
There you go with your reality again Major Nikon May 2018 #184
Sorry Mr Major Sir! Eko May 2018 #185
You need to put yourself on report Major Nikon May 2018 #186
I think it might have been the 12th. Eko May 2018 #189
That's fully covered by the 11th Major Nikon May 2018 #194
Shucks. Eko May 2018 #195
Does that say how it relates to his views on religion? Lordquinton May 2018 #192
I think I could answer that, Eko May 2018 #196
Taking it far away from the topic at hand Lordquinton May 2018 #197
ah, Guillaumeb is a ally. Eko May 2018 #198
guillaumeb saidsimplesimon May 2018 #178
I do find it interesting that Eko May 2018 #231
Sometimes I wish that Jefferson favored the period lordsummerisle May 2018 #177
He didnt say that also. Eko May 2018 #168
This doesn't sound like opposition to the negative aspects of the institution. Eko May 2018 #170
So where were the atheists of the 17th and 18th centuries? Major Nikon May 2018 #23
A good question. guillaumeb May 2018 #30
And you are certainly entitled to that opinion Major Nikon May 2018 #38
Unfamiliarity with the concept? guillaumeb May 2018 #64
Not an answer Major Nikon May 2018 #81
I was referring to your question, and a possible reason guillaumeb May 2018 #109
Understanding the difference seems to be the best reason. YMMV. Major Nikon May 2018 #121
Revelation is an interesting subject. guillaumeb May 2018 #132
They also do Major Nikon May 2018 #138
You well demonstrate what you attack. guillaumeb May 2018 #144
My first line matter of factly answers the question you posed yourself. Major Nikon May 2018 #153
You have convinced yourself. guillaumeb May 2018 #155
I can't take all the credit Major Nikon May 2018 #157
Yes, you can. guillaumeb May 2018 #159
No need to be so modest Major Nikon May 2018 #162
Speaking of debates, this one was a bit bizarre. guillaumeb May 2018 #163
You post this immediately after your diversion remark? Major Nikon May 2018 #173
Are you welcoming me from "mansplaining" world? guillaumeb May 2018 #209
Won the debate with you as well Lordquinton May 2018 #193
Some arguments are self-defeating Major Nikon May 2018 #212
Actually the term "atheist" was used by Greeks and Romans to refer to early Christians. malchickiwick May 2018 #52
The term was also used differently in the 17th and 18th centuries by freethinkers Major Nikon May 2018 #53
Do you think "creator" and "god" are interchangeable? Major Nikon May 2018 #44
So, are you a deist? MineralMan May 2018 #3
I am a theist first, guillaumeb May 2018 #8
So, then, you are not a Christian? MineralMan May 2018 #10
I see no problem with being a Christian and a deist. guillaumeb May 2018 #12
OK, then... MineralMan May 2018 #14
Was this Jesus person a god? Voltaire2 May 2018 #49
I agree with the American Friends that each person has a fragment of the divine. guillaumeb May 2018 #66
That is not an answer. Voltaire2 May 2018 #71
If all humans are a part of the Creator, guillaumeb May 2018 #106
Nope. Still haven't answered. Voltaire2 May 2018 #114
I did answer, but not as you wanted. guillaumeb May 2018 #120
I understood it perfectly Major Nikon May 2018 #176
So you think you're a god? Lordquinton May 2018 #129
You sound confused. guillaumeb May 2018 #137
Again, not in the slightest Lordquinton May 2018 #146
Definitely confused. guillaumeb May 2018 #148
You talking about yourself? Lordquinton May 2018 #167
Sometimes a non-answer provides far more information Major Nikon May 2018 #179
multiply this by a hundred Lordquinton May 2018 #188
"the message of Jesus" trotsky May 2018 #204
Still confused? guillaumeb May 2018 #211
Gaslighting. n/t trotsky May 2018 #221
Does that not make you an atheist? Major Nikon May 2018 #59
Are you working on some sort of routine? guillaumeb May 2018 #70
Come on Gil, don't project. Mariana May 2018 #74
Just questioning how much or little you know about the subject matter Major Nikon May 2018 #83
As are mine of you. guillaumeb May 2018 #110
Sorry I didn't mention it before, but thanks for utterly disproving your argument Major Nikon May 2018 #124
Thank you for confirming my suspicion. guillaumeb May 2018 #135
I am, thanks for noticing. Major Nikon May 2018 #139
Preceded my agnostic 'belief,' elleng May 2018 #4
My opinion is that this described George LeMaitre as well. guillaumeb May 2018 #9
Who was a theist and decidedly not a deist Major Nikon May 2018 #84
Sarcasm and insult are not substitutes for insight. guillaumeb May 2018 #111
You stole my line! Major Nikon May 2018 #123
Depends on what they meant by "placeholder" marylandblue May 2018 #6
After reading the response, and replying to it, guillaumeb May 2018 #11
You never actually asked that question marylandblue May 2018 #13
I disagree. guillaumeb May 2018 #15
I have no dog in this fight marylandblue May 2018 #19
I accept that about you. guillaumeb May 2018 #21
The best part is his own source says virtually the exact same thing Major Nikon May 2018 #42
Ouch. trotsky May 2018 #205
Disagree all you want. The facts tell a different story. Major Nikon May 2018 #41
If you refrained from insults and attack, guillaumeb May 2018 #115
The facts tell a different story Major Nikon May 2018 #122
Your responses are very harmonious. guillaumeb May 2018 #134
Whatever that means Major Nikon May 2018 #140
It was his choir insult. It should be on the list. Voltaire2 May 2018 #223
Sounds more like a sock allegation Major Nikon May 2018 #224
Could be that too. Voltaire2 May 2018 #225
I'm sure at this point he would love nothing more than to see this thread fall off the first page. trotsky May 2018 #228
Yes. We are supposed to sing in harmony. MineralMan May 2018 #226
That's exactly what happened Lordquinton May 2018 #47
At least you admit your strawman Major Nikon May 2018 #24
"no evidence" Major Nikon May 2018 #133
You missed an essential part. guillaumeb May 2018 #141
Funny how you pretend to want to engage in dialog after injecting yet more strawman into it Major Nikon May 2018 #150
Funny how you ignored my point. guillaumeb May 2018 #152
The evidence proves otherwise Major Nikon May 2018 #160
Nice try. guillaumeb May 2018 #161
One would have to be delusional to think so Major Nikon May 2018 #165
I am enjoying how you divert yourself. guillaumeb May 2018 #166
I'm diverting to your own words. Please try to stay focused. Major Nikon May 2018 #172
"Deists believe in a god of nature -- a noninterventionist creator" procon May 2018 #16
I understand your position. guillaumeb May 2018 #17
It's actually simplistic and non-inclusive Major Nikon May 2018 #56
It has always somewhat surprised me when religious folks try to appropriate procon May 2018 #57
Most religions have some kind of creation myth Major Nikon May 2018 #58
That's why I'm an atheist, it's much less complicated than the religious contortions. procon May 2018 #60
There are those here who make that overly complicated as well Major Nikon May 2018 #61
LOL - that's good, too. nt procon May 2018 #62
Christians are not deists Cartoonist May 2018 #25
Christians can be deists Major Nikon May 2018 #27
Are there Christians like that? Cartoonist May 2018 #28
At one time there were many Major Nikon May 2018 #37
By definition, Christians must believe that Jesus was 'anointed' muriel_volestrangler May 2018 #85
And thus the matter is settled? guillaumeb May 2018 #31
Just responding to your OP Cartoonist May 2018 #33
The sources can make that claim. guillaumeb May 2018 #34
I'm OK with the definition you provided. Cartoonist May 2018 #35
Deity and deism. guillaumeb May 2018 #63
Dumb and dumber Cartoonist May 2018 #77
Anyone can be a Christian. Mariana May 2018 #43
There are those who believe otherwise Major Nikon May 2018 #86
Yeah, and they all believe and disbelieve different things. nt. Mariana May 2018 #87
It's part of the Christian tradition to argue about who is a Christian marylandblue May 2018 #91
Things were much simpler when you could just BBQ dissenters Major Nikon May 2018 #92
A non-interventionist creator paleotn May 2018 #36
This becomes apparent when you consider how they avoided the supernatural Major Nikon May 2018 #39
I think you didn't read very far into your own source Major Nikon May 2018 #40
I think you are channeling another poster here. guillaumeb May 2018 #67
The same methods of actually reading the material you provided? Mariana May 2018 #79
Same nonsense Major Nikon May 2018 #82
Such a literalist Lordquinton May 2018 #48
Your source is biased. Mariana May 2018 #50
Did you really expect anything other than confirmation bias? Major Nikon May 2018 #55
Name an unbiased source. guillaumeb May 2018 #68
You can do better. Mariana May 2018 #72
And some can find fault with everything guillaumeb May 2018 #112
Websters, Collins, Oxford, Britanica, among others Major Nikon May 2018 #89
So you openly admit you went to a biased source? Lordquinton May 2018 #96
You need to reread what I wrote. guillaumeb May 2018 #113
Funny how you always say that when you've been busted contradicting yourself Major Nikon May 2018 #126
Ok, reread it Lordquinton May 2018 #127
What are you trying to accomplish with all your post? njhoneybadger May 2018 #51
Nailed it Major Nikon May 2018 #54
You sound convinced of your own opinion. guillaumeb May 2018 #69
What are you trying to accomplish with your post? nt. Mariana May 2018 #73
... Major Nikon May 2018 #94
To promote dialogue in with those who wish it. guillaumeb May 2018 #107
Please do keep promoting this thread Major Nikon May 2018 #143
Your best talent so far seems to be posting such clips. guillaumeb May 2018 #147
Yours seems to be hubris Major Nikon May 2018 #156
You need a better dictionary. guillaumeb May 2018 #158
We can use yours if you like Major Nikon May 2018 #171
LMAO trotsky May 2018 #206
At least he is consistently inconsistent Major Nikon May 2018 #207
Not another type of theist - here's the definition of theism: muriel_volestrangler May 2018 #75
You may be using a too-high level of diction. MineralMan May 2018 #78
Were you confused? guillaumeb May 2018 #117
Someone is Major Nikon May 2018 #181
Kinda funny though Major Nikon May 2018 #88
Now, here we have the crux of the matter. Both recognize a supreme being but PatrickforO May 2018 #105
So in your view, what does a deist believe that's different from your belief? Major Nikon May 2018 #180
According to the definitions provided here, the deist believes there is a God, PatrickforO May 2018 #199
Creation was intervention. guillaumeb May 2018 #116
Which is where the intervention stops for deists Major Nikon May 2018 #131
You yourself bolded "a noninterventionist creator". Are you saying that's an oxymoron muriel_volestrangler May 2018 #200
What's your take on free will? Htom Sirveaux May 2018 #80
As sentient beings, we have free will. guillaumeb May 2018 #118

The 11th Commandment in action is amusing to behold. guillaumeb May 2018 #119
"amusing to behold" Major Nikon May 2018 #125
"Mansplaining" can also be amusing to see. guillaumeb May 2018 #229
... Major Nikon May 2018 #230
So pointing out that your source contradicts your thesis is a violation of your rules? Voltaire2 May 2018 #222
Many things are amusing... MineralMan May 2018 #227
Someone clearly got their feelings hurt in the process Major Nikon May 2018 #232
So you go to a conservative christian site for absolute definition on religious matters Lordquinton May 2018 #97
This thread is now a religion forum classic trainwreck. Voltaire2 May 2018 #98
It should be a sticky Major Nikon May 2018 #99
Well, it is sunday... Lordquinton May 2018 #100
Bookmarking to be a permanent reference... NeoGreen May 2018 #101
Don't forget to rec Major Nikon May 2018 #102

K&R for future reference. MineralMan May 2018 #104
Only 27 out of 80. guillaumeb May 2018 #149
The quality more than makes up for the quantity Major Nikon May 2018 #174
Irrelevant to the discussion. MineralMan May 2018 #208
There's a lesson to be learned here Major Nikon May 2018 #187
"Thoughts" saidsimplesimon May 2018 #175

Deism defers to the study of Nature; Science Bretton Garcia May 2018 #233
