If it is easily demonstrated that a complaint about Christianity is from someone whose knowledge is so bad on the subject that it is frequently directly contradictory to it its cores then it does establish a lack of validity in that persons position.
Once that is established then nearly every topic where that person brings up Christianity can be handled in the same way.
It could even be said that Haplo with his "christianity" is repeatedly trolling Christians.  |
I think the issue, is not that you are debating this stuff, but the ammount of ridicule and insult you lace into your arguments. I have no issue with people taking on other peoples views that they disagree with (this is after all a forum, not anyone's personal soap box, where they can say what ever they want and not be challenged). But there is a fine line between pointing out how absurd a person's views may be, and trolling them. A line you seem to like to dance around.
The irony to me though is that, although your points may be valid and even clever, your posting style looks childish, petty, and makes it hard to take seriously. Heaping ridicule in, in the end only does a disservice to yourself, plus it will get you into trouble.
Anyhow I would suggest you take a time out from your crusade on CaptainHaplo, before I have to give you one. That and I again strongly encourage you to drop the ridicule. You want to rip his statements to shreds, be my guest, just show a modicum of respect when doing it.
