Surpeme Court Gay Marriage Cases....

[Ben Kenobi]

I don't consider any of them authoritative, although I have some favorites, John (Gospel), James, Genesis, Revelations, Ephesians

Then you are not a Christian.

[PLATO]

Ben, when you get up in the morning and look in the mirror do you say, "I'm pretty stupid, but I feel the need to prove it today!"?

You have an unbelievable lack of logical thinking ability. You refuse to accept evidence people provide you with. You make nonsensical statements. You contribute nothing to the discussions.

I can find very few, if any, places anyone shows the slightest desire for you to be here. Yet, here you remain. Wasting the time of people who actually have brains and do their best to show you the stupidity of your thoughts.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in your right to say and think what you will, but at some point shouldn't you get a clue?

[Kidlicious]

Then you are not a Christian.

Go **** yourself *******.

[Ben Kenobi]

I think more to the point is that I don't think I'm better than anyone else because I'm a heterosexual that is married. That's not the Christian way, as far as I am concerned. God doesn't favor married heteros in my book, the way some seem to think he does.

Christians believe that the bible is authoritative.

[PLATO]

We need a high five smilie.

Damn right.

[MichaeltheGreat]

it's an argument in favor of the government restricting marriage between one man and one women.

Only in a theocratic totalitarian state, where "efficicacy" of "production" is the basis for defining civil liberties. Sorry, but go found your own Benistan. Not in my country.

Well, you'll have plenty of company with Devanter et al.

Willis Van Devanter?

Ben, when you get up in the morning and look in the mirror do you say, "I'm pretty stupid, but I feel the need to prove it today!"?

You have an unbelievable lack of logical thinking ability.

Rather, quite the contrary. I've argued a consistent position from what I believe are logical presuppositions throughout. I've also taken on all comers who challenge those presuppositions with their own arguments. Just because one position is presently more popular, doesn't make it right or correct.

You refuse to accept evidence people provide you with.

I have challenged their evidence throughout, yes. I have provided counter evidence to indicate why we should not accept their evidence.

You make nonsensical statements. You contribute nothing to the discussions.

These are opinions, not fact.

I can find very few, if any, places anyone shows the slightest desire for you to be here.

You have an overblown sense of your own self worth if you believe that:

1, that your opinion is shared by everyone here on Apolyton past and present.
2, that your opinion is one that I care about.

You were not here when my father passed on back in 2008. I have plenty of friends here on Apolyton, and some of them are my closest friends. They have changed my life and I am very thankful for Apolyton bringing them into my life.

Don't get me wrong, I believe in your right to say and think what you will, but at some point shouldn't you get a clue?

Perhaps you should be asking yourself, "why does he stay?" Perhaps I'm not getting the full picture, especially if I've been away for a significant period of time?

[DinoDoc]

Go **** yourself *******.

On this issue, he does have a point. If you don't actually believe in the authority of the Bible, you can hardly be called a Christian in any meaningful sense.

[MichaeltheGreat]

Did you argue that my argument is invalid because you believe I lack a degree? Yes.

No, and your trolling/lack of comprehension proves his point - namely that you're so ****ing dense and obtuse that if your posting here really represent your intellectual capacity, it strains all credulity past the breaking point that any accredited institution would have awarded you a degree. It's not your positions per se, it's the sheer factual ignorance coupled with mindless smugness and dishonesty.

Damn, son. I get paid well enough to corrupt innocent minds. I love my job.

Yet you were saying less than two weeks ago that people get larger welfare benefits than you get paid. So which is it? Prove up, boyo.

[Ben Kenobi]

Willis Van Devanter?

Yeah, he was all up for that whole sterilize the mentally unfit deal. You'd fit right in. 8-1 decision btw! Clear consensus.

Does it hurt you that I did earn a degree? Yes, I earned a degree. I earned a history degree back in 2007.

Yet you were saying less than two weeks ago that people get larger welfare benefits than you get paid. So which is it? Prove up, boyo.

I said their total benefits often exceed mine. Yes, this is true - because the benefits are too generous, not because I get insufficient pay to meet my needs. Isn't that the whole conservative argument that welfare benefits are far too generous?

2008 is ancient ****in' history on the internet, sweet pants? Care to take a poll on how many tears would be shed if you just left and never came back?

Didn't you just bail for 5+ years or so?

[MrFun]

Christians believe that sodomy is a sin. Christians believe that everyone is called to repent from sin. Ergo - Christians believe that everyone who has engaged in sodomy should stop engaging in sodomy and repent.

You think American law should be legislated based on the Bible, rather than on the Constitution?

Didn't the sun just come up this morning?

Question makes about as much sense.

Face it Ben...your a dick.

Why DO you stay?
