What element are YOU based on that makes YOUR conclusions so superior? So concludes the wee carbon-based life form who has yet to accomplish anything on their own planet much less speculate on what the universe "needs"..."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg.

I'll point out that your quotes are just denial, with nothing to back them up. A couple of quotes from this site that covers it extensively. history for atheists "Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

How does making $6 million make him a liar? Carriers net worth from the lecture circuit: $6 million dollars. How is he any different from an apologist?"Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

You gave ONE example of somebody making money. That does not justify using the word "they". Stop grasping at straws. Because they are marketing mythicism. And you have many, many, many unanswered posts in appropriate threads. You have no leg to stand on until you start to discuss the topics in good faith."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

We have seen many, many, many apologists proven to be liars and thieves on this forum. You, on the other hand, showed ONE mythicist who made some money. By no stretch of the imagination is that a double standard. You tell me not to lump all of them in one basket, which is precisely what you do with the apologists. I have asked you many, many, many times to show us ONE apologist who is not a liar. Get to it."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

All we've seen of him is a few lines that you quoted.
We are still discussing Peter Kreeft. He has not lied anywhere that I can see. Phat writes:
Irrelevant. So is Trump.
Dr.Kreeft, now 85, is well loved and well respected by many people. Phat writes:
I call him "some goober" because his ideas are no more important than some guy who pumps gas in Mayberry. You are so far the only guy I know who refers to him as "some goober". If you want to discuss Peter Kreeft, get to it. I answered what you quoted from him. Respond to my answers."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

That sounds like predestination. Prov 16:33 writes: NIV 33 The lot is cast into the lap, but it's every decision is from the LORD. "Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg.

If I was a contrarian, I would disagree. Guarantee Phat will miss your point."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had?

I bet you can't find any on this forum. Idiots like candle2 and Dredge might agree with you. If they actually found objective evidence that Jesus existed, there would still be many people refusing to accept Him."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

I once told somebody here, "I could do a thousand posts standing on my head." If you get a copy of "Jesus and the Eyewitness" he writes `14 pages on the subject. But quantity doesn't guarantee quality."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

That may be the smartest thing you've ever said here.
That's the real E in EvC. EVIDENCE vs Creationism. It's the whole argument. Phat writes:
I see a war long ago in a galaxy far, far away - but I can distinguish that from the computer I see in front of me.
I may have lost the argument but I see my God winning the war. Phat writes:
Two smart things in one day. In general, believers not only need no objective evidence, but they also don't WANT to question.... It is all about what you WANT, not what IS.
Phat writes:
Hat trick! What he and you and others here really mean is that I won't embrace critical thought as a tool to validate or refute my beliefs. The question is, "Why not?" Why wouldn't you use a saw to saw a board or a drill to drill a hole or a hammer to hammer a nail?"Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

That's no better than ELIZA was fifty years ago. Continuing with Cleverbot Maybe worse. At least ELIZA would notice a question mark and say, "Why do you ask?" and if you used an exclamation mark it would say, "You don't have to yell." And if you ever mentioned your mother or father.... You could make a better "AI" just using a large database of random phrases."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

The online version of Cleverbot searches its database just three times before producing a response, while the more powerful version used in Turing competitions runs 42 database searches. "It's quite a few times superior to the online Cleverbot,"
It would be interesting to see the "good" version."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys
