Due to rampant stupidity by Skeptics, and time issues, I'm only going to be on TWeb in my own (tektonics.org) section from now on. Deal with it.

I'd refer you guys to one youtube user (not 122nerdbombs though) who comments on one of my videos, but there's WAAAAY too much profanity coming from the both of us.

lets just say that rather than rebutt my arguments (or even try to), he simply says that my source (Dr. Gary Habermas) isn't credible because he's a creationist who works for Liberty University (a young-earth-creationist university), even though the question of the age of the earth is WAAAAAAAAAY out of Dr. Habermas' field.

“The mystery of the incarnation of the Lord is the key to all the arcane symbolism and typology in the Scriptures, and in addition gives us knowledge of created things, both visible and intelligible. He who apprehends the mystery of the cross and the burial apprehends the inward [principles] of created things, while he who is initiated into the inexpressible power of the resurrection apprehends the purpose for which God first established everything.” -St. Maximus the Confessor

"I would join countless numbers of evangelical Protestants and say I have come to know Christ with fulfilling and life-changing effects and daily witness His grace and leadership in my life. But just because God in His grace and mercy has met us where we are and adapted Himself to our unique cultural and religious circumstances in no way means He has abandoned His original plan. God does not contradict Himself. Truth is intolerant, and truth is found in the Church’s living and Holy Tradition. It is my growing conviction that only a strong living Tradition can protect us from the corrosive and destructive forces of modern life, the insidious and deceptive effects of modern pluralism, and the disheartening and confusing proliferation of religious opinions...What are we to do with this "cloud of witnesses," this Holy Tradition through which they live and speak with such clarity and certitude? Well, for me there seems to be only one logical response. I must turn to the Church and its sacred Tradition; I must listen humbly and be instructed. I cannot let God’s marvelous blessings of the past blind me to what I have missed or deter me from that to which He would lead me still. I must return home to Orthodoxy." Rev. Dorraine S. Snogren, The Road That Leads Home

Typical screwball, but another example of a Christian retreating into fideism when cornered. patriotwolf is the Christian:

God's primary means of communicating with 21st century humanity is a book full of contradictions, atrocities, and outright falsehood. His primary organization of followers contains over a thousand subdivisions, which often disagree with even the most basic tenets of belief beyond Jesus being the Messiah. The Bible states clearly that God will reveal himself to anyone who comes to him with an honest desire to believe, yet many of us have sought him and received nothing but confusion and mixed messages, if not nothing at all. That's why we are atheist. That is a clear violation of God's promise.
What of the billions of others whom it "works for" and understand it? It's almost like your saying that you became an atheist because you "flunked out" of Christianity.

God does show himself to people in ways which you obviously never understood, or never saw. You were never a true Christian or believed you were but were not.

It's not my fault you can't wrap your head around somehting that defies you means of life. Your understanding of God is a card trick.

Faith: 1):

-belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2): belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1): firm belief in something for which there is no proof

"If fighting is sure to result in victory then you must fight!" Sun Tsu said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do pal because he invented it! And then he perfected it so that no living man can best him on the ring of honor! Then he used his fight money to buy two of every animal on earth, and then he herded them onto a boat, and then he BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF EVERY SINGLE ONE! Ehehehehehehehehehe. And from that day forward anytime a bunch of animals are together in one place it's called a 'zoo!' Unless it's a farm!

It's better than an apostasy. Still sad, though.

You are showing classic symptons of after shock; the first is denial which is what you are showing at present.
Billy Wheaton Syndrome, anyone?

What is fideism?
The idea that Faith is Believing something that which has no proof, aka "Blind Belief".

This idea has been debunked. Brutally.

I mean, really, how can you hope to have a rational discussion with a guy who won't give one the benefit of the doubt that one's senses are reliable?

Hector "the Pig" Avalos does it again, but only Silver, since it is nothing but the usual stale canards, plus his usual selective use of facts.
