He Is Dead

My final contributions on this topic are founded upon a reiteration of my assertion that love and respect should be maintained by ALL parties when discussing. Obviously, we all have differing interpretaions of what that means in practice and how they ought to be applied, so further elucidation would be redundant.

We are all entitled to our own theories of knowledge but it is difficult to debate when one's views are in opposition to those of any individual that postulates dismissively and with a conviction explicitly founded upon oxymora and propositions the veracity of which, are in my view, at best doubtful.

Further, the definitions of qualitative and empirical 'proof' or 'evidence' are not as simple as some might believe; rather they are expansive and much broader than we can accomodate in this thread!

It's a great day; I'm now gonna cuddle my wife and baby.

Peace to all!

Hi Piamed.

Leave the religious brow-beating out of threads and we will get on well.
The point is non-believers don't want to debate.

Richard Lederer: There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages.

Enjoy your beautiful baby girl......

Hey Aposhark. I never try to brow beat on any plane. I responded initially to your statement that believing in God is nonsense. Any statement made which begs rational challenging will inevitably be debated.

Please note for the record that religion, Christianity and Catholicism are not synonymous. I think your view that non-believers do not like to debate raises quite a number of questions about how you see things and not about non-believers per se. I presume there is a purpose to you citing the particular individuals you have cited but I fail to see the relevance. Anyway, suffice to say that you have your views as do others. My initial point remains that we should all be respectful in the truest sense irrespective of our own positions in life. That should resonate with good people from opposing ideas of the religious divide.

I wish you a great journey back with your missus; I remember our journey back like it was yesterday albeit that much has happened since then.

Sorry, religious debate is never-ending so no more for me.....

Thanks for the comment about wishing us a great journey back.
For us, the journey is only just beginning :-)

Eh.......???

Make the most of it, mate.
Babies have the most akward knack in growing rather fast, and if you blink you may miss the best bits....

Peace to all

And to you and family
