Andiferous said:I am worried when we all close ourselves to debate.
I would like to point out that I'm not saying "don't debate/discuss/argue.... ever." In fact, just by starting this thread it should show that I'm actually very interested in discussion.
However, I do wonder what motivates a Theist to "argue" - discuss/debate. To clarify, its not really about why an atheist or just anyone in general would want to argue any given point. It is specifically about why Theists argue.
Why does Ray Comfort want to argue/discuss/debate with atheists? Well, we know he has an agenda/motivation. 1. He's trying to sell books and merchandise. 2. He's trying to sell the Creation product - the idea that goddidit some 6000 years ago. 3. He can't be seen to be wrong at all otherwise.... there goes god.... I'm sure there are other things that motivate him too.
Why does Nephilimfee like to present his arguments? 1. He's nuts. 2. He's nuts. 3. Well, that's what I'd like to know and is the whole point of the thread.
Repeat above for VenomFangx
Why did japhia start his thread? It should be obvious to all that he didn't learn anything from the replies and no-one else learned anything from him. But he started the thread for a reason.... what is that reason?
And ironically, why did JWW start his thread (which has already been so quickly taken apart I have to wonder .... wtf was the point)?
There is a psychology to it all I'm sure and that's what I'm interested in.
