S&R - you should probably just stick to commenting on which page # we've reached. All your comments that I've seen are unecessary, but at least those are accurate and somewhat informative (for those who cannot be bothered to scroll).

My points were purposely crude and offensive DATA-DOG
@anyone other than DD - So how is that acceptable, and my decision to ignore certain comments is unacceptable?

Cofty - "Unacceptable" to whom?
I am not obliged to respond to every comment. I have ignored comments that were just rude or meaningless. I have ignored comments that are simply trying to draw out responses that can be misused. I believe that I have operated entirely within the rules of the forum (unlike some of the vulgar and angry speech that has featured on this thread). So in what way is that unacceptable?

Simon gets a prize, cos on this site he is god. He has power over our continued forum existence and does take action when required. And that’s as close to heaven as we’ll ever be. TG
And if I were to form an opinion of what Simon is like as a person simply from the limited actions I have observed during this discussion I might reach certain conclusions. Would I be right?

Elvis lives in me. You can't prove he doesn't. It's a mystery. I insist you accept it unless you can prove it's false. Simon
You are right that I can't prove it. Therefore I will not claim that there is a logical proof that it is impossible. I will simply treat the information in accord with my value system of whether it is likely/important or not. In this case I would simply ignore it.
I haven't asked anyone to accept a belief in God at any time in this conversation, let alone insisted on such acceptance.
The one insisting we accept something is Cofty, in case you haven't noticed after all this time.

Hey, I just won the promise of eternal life in paradise!
You can't ever prove that I won't get it so that means it's proof that I will.
This "belief" stuff is really easy !!
Awesome. Congrats.

If you had a normal human capacity for knowledge, but had Superman's powers, would you have saved the victims of the tsunami?? Infinite knowledge is not required to save people, but it is a plus. DATA-DOG
Yes. (Of course)

The only reason theists arguments go on and on is they refuse to accept things and be pinned down, they simply jump to some other point.
Some might, but I don't think I have done that at any point in the discussion. In fact I have been careful to stick to the point, despite many invitations to go off on a tangent.

I got to page 100 first - do I win a prize? Simon
Yes, but you have to provide it and award it too :)

Again, the old stalwart of theist arguments - trying to make out that it's all unknown and so 50/50. Simon
Not at all. I am not in any way of the mind that it is 50/50. I believe that Cofty is plain wrong. However I am not going to assert that there is logical certainty that he is wrong. This is the line that can either be crossed or it cannot.
