Am I the only one who sees | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 10:05:29 |
|
No you are not the only one to notice | by cristobal | 2004-09-24 10:07:28 |
|
Just so ya know... | by sstacks | 2004-09-24 10:14:34 |
|
Oh, I wasn't blaming you. | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 10:35:28 |
|
There are a couple of the biased ones. | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 10:55:35 |
|
I don't see the counter bias in the first. | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 11:19:44 |
|
I didn't see such an implication | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 11:07:23 |
|
Consider: There is nothing to deny without | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 11:17:59 |
|
In other words | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 11:25:20 |
|
Ah, but you expressed both as assertions. | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 11:35:36 |
|
Considering that the word itself | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 11:49:09 |
|
LOL I was waiting for that ;> (n/t) | by sstacks | 2004-09-24 12:00:25 |
|
No it isn't, and no. | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 12:01:26 |
|
In that case | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 12:04:50 |
|
That's when you get into the "strong" and "weak" | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 12:15:45 |
|
That agrees with my understanding | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 12:18:12 |
|
That's the point. | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 12:24:39 |
|
Going by the original Greek, yes. | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 12:36:19 |
|
If you reversed it, the theists would see it. | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 11:35:42 |
|
I still don't see it | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 11:47:05 |
|
Do you deny the non-existence of God? | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 12:13:23 |
|
I think I understand | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 12:19:48 |
|
Exactly. | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 12:21:49 |
|
Next question, then: | by Matthewdba | 2004-09-24 12:31:03 |
|
Not necessarily, but possibly. | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 13:43:55 |
|
I think you summed that up nicely. (n/t) | by BloodyViking | 2004-09-24 13:58:15 |
|
Thanks. | by Naruki | 2004-09-24 14:05:20 |
