Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

      When are you going to tell us where the soul is? Where is your soul/spirit right now Sparko? I don't think you have any clue how to answer that, any of you.

        There is no verifiable evidence to support the existence of souls. They can be reduced to the neurological function of the brain and nervous system.

        The "wind" is air in natural motion...it is measurable and it's its existence is not in doubt. Unlike the hypothesis of the 'soul'!

            Or to put it another way, the notion of 'souls' is a failed hypothesis

              What I was getting at is that prepositions don't have meaning when talking about the interaction of the material and the immaterial. We use them out of convention, not literal meaning. A soul and body go together - but you're asking how a ten dimensional body interacts with a two dimensional one - there's no frame of reference to give the kind of answer you're looking for. And that's in large part an error on your part - you're applying your worldview to ours. They don't mesh - cannot mesh - because the materialist view you take is contrary to the Christian view that there is more than the material universe.

              Which only proves that one has to be false - it doesn't tell us anything about which one that is.

                I already told you. It is in the left little toe. Don't you bother to read?

                  We are talking about the material universe, more to the point we are talking about the material body, within the which christians claim there to exist a spirit or soul. If the preposition has no meaning, then what exactly do you mean? It seems to me that what you're all saying is that it makes no sense, we can't explain it, but we just believe it anyway.

                    Yes, you've already made it perfectly clear that you have no idea what you're talking about Sparko

                      I don't know what I am talking about? Look in the mirror buddy.

                      OK sure the soul is not actually in the little toe. I just made that up. But JimL, NO CHRISTIAN is going to tell you, an atheist where the soul is. It a very closely held church secret. If people like you knew where the soul is, all Christians would be vulnerable. You atheists could go around stealing our souls and holding them hostage.

                        Uh, right! Yeah, closely guarded secret. Isn't it the same place where the Holy Spirit indwells us believers?

                          Like I said Sparko, you have no clue. No need to keep telling us that.

                              That's true, that's why I'm asking you christians, but it seams you have no clue either. Apparently it's just a bunch of nonsense.
