That's the point, bob. If it's still "standing" then it's "standing" on a pile of the soft stuff.My statement stands, pal.

You said. "Still waiting for your proof that prayer doesn't work. The rest is apparently just artful dodging." The "artful dodging" comment is an ad hominem attack. Again, asking for proof that prayer isn't bunk is like asking for proof of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.Immanuel Can wrote:"Ad hominem"? What are you talking about, bob?
All I asked was how you know prayer is bunk. You said you knew that. Surely you know on evidence, right? So if I assume you're a reasonable person, then you have evidence; but you're not supplying it, so I can only conclude you're "dodging."
No ad hominem implication needed or intended. I'm going on the evidence you've supplied. If you think I've done you an injustice, prove me wrong: it's easy -- just give the evidence you've been holding out.
I will wait.
If you don't think religion is a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be, you've led a very sheltered life, my friend.Immanuel Can wrote:That's the point, bob. If it's still "standing" then it's "standing" on a pile of the soft stuff.My statement stands, pal.
I don't generally make ad hominem attacks, my friend, like the rest of you fools (as an example, when have any of you idiots ever made a constructive criticism of "The Ouzo Prophecy"? Answer: Never. Since none of you ever present an actual argument, there is nothing else for me to attack.Ginkgo wrote:If it is any consolation Bob, I think your ad hominem is better

Yes, I know you did. It's called post festum
I apologize that in my original post I forgot I was dealing with swine instead of polite society.

Assuming you are suffering from some form of ocular disintegration, I'll repeat my earlier reply in larger type:Immanuel Can wrote:Still waiting, bob.
Another way of saying this is to say that you cannot disprove and unprovable hypothesis.bobevenson wrote:Assuming you are suffering from some form of ocular disintegration, I'll repeat my earlier reply in larger type:Immanuel Can wrote:Still waiting, bob.
