Well if you didn't do it then I can only assume my point is correct: science has simply become too developed and so people are beginning to realise the fallacies of atheism and are moving away from it, just like I predicted.

Aha! So now you admit I never "spammed your inbox with religious spam"! Xenon, this proves she was lying. Is she entitled to a temporary ban?

Have you even read my posts? In fact, why don't you go back and read my original post if you can't understand something so simple?
MMMorshew wrote:My little thought on this all:
I think there is a distinction between anti-religious and atheist. :wink:
My opinion: To atheists, most religions seem implausible and they don`t believe in it themselves, but are able to accept it - while on the other hand, anti-religious people hate religion.
Apart from your mistaking atheism as non-religious, this is what I've been saying from the very beginning, and get accused of "trolling" because of it! Atheists *are* anti-non-atheist-religion in *general*, but there are SOME who are NOT. Therefore, while atheism must then naturally be classified as a hate group, it doesn't necessarily mean ALL atheists are bad. Just the ones that will try to mix science with their own personal beliefs. That's the point I've been making.

Everyone sees things a bit different in this case - many think your thoughts are ridicoulus, while many other would agree. :wink:
Exactly. So like I've been saying it just depends what religion you're part of.

Like what? I've had to cope with you contradicting yourself and making excuses for all your logical fallacies that I point out to you from the moment you started posting- as well as others here who have brushed aside my request to prove evolution. Anyway of course I wouldn't debate this in other threads that have nothing to do with it, no more than you would go in them and rave on and on about how atheism is the only religion or something stupid like that. This thread is "Religion- Your Views". Nothing more. Nothing less.

Anyway, since no-one is able to answer my points, demonstrate any link between science and atheism, or prove evolution, or disprove my historical examples etc. etc. I've pretty much won the debate by default, so now I think it's only fair I claim victory. In other words--- I win! :mryellow:

Will you explain precisely how science proves that religion is correct? I don’t think I understand, so perhaps you should take me through it step by step.

I made the assumption that the content you swamped Stacey's inbox with was religious, so apologies for that. But constantly harassing someone by sending them pointless PMs is still a bannable offence.

Considering it's the atheists here that constantly keep saying *their* religion is the scientific one, the burden is on their shoulders to prove how (their) religion is connected to science in anyway. The whole reason I won this debate is because they failed to do that. Besides, can you come up with a quote where I say science proves all non-atheistic religions correct? Well then, this is a clever question to avoid having to answer my point. It seems all I've received in the entire debate are posters who like to side-step points.

Apology accepted. However, "constantly harassing"? "swamped"? "spammed"? The funny thing about this is, Stacey was the one who PMed me first. Did she tell you that? There were a total of six PMs, and each of us sent three each. Did Stacey make sure to give you that piece of information as well? (Or did you, Stacey, conveniently "forget"? :hehe: ) Is this what defines "spamming" or "harassment"? If so, I would like to make a complaint about Stacey: she has constantly harassed me with pointless PMs and spammed my inbox.

I'll even quote some of what she said:
StaceyW wrote:stop with the anti-atheism bull you're trying to pull 'cause I just know that this is all you've come to this forum for rather than actually contribute to the Rayman fandom.
StaceyW wrote:what you've been saying about "atheists wanting to kill every religious person" and the like is absolute bullshit, and then you contradict yourself with the "not every atheist is like this".
In other words, she PMed me and tried to start an argument based about what we were discussing in this thread. I won't say whether the so-called "points" she brought up were right or wrong, or even accurately portrayed what I was actually saying, but I will say that such discussion belongs in the thread assigned to it, not in PMs to honest members of the forum. I feel that at the very least a warning is in order here, if not temporary banning.
StaceyW wrote:"Is she entitled to a temporary ban?"

Oh do fuck off.
Well perhaps if you weren't flaming me in personal messages because of your own bigotry, (as well as being angry at losing a debate) then lying about me behind my back and accusing me of things I didn't do to moderators, I wouldn't have asked the simple question.
RayFan9876 wrote: I was TRYING to save you from getting banned, but.... :pfff:
Well if this is the summary of points brought against me, I'll say it again: I have won this debate. I claim victory. And victory never felt so good. 8)

And since you posted my PMs in public, I'm gonna leak yours.
What rule did my post break?
I personally believe everyone should have the right to enter and post on a Rayman site (which is not really about atheism or religion) regardless of their beliefs. Especially when the only place I've ever argued my beliefs or ever will is in the thread entitled "Religion- YOUR VIEWS". You disagree?
Firstly, I don't see how that's a contradiction. Not every atheist is like that.
Secondly, what?
Thirdly, if you didn't want to talk to me why did you PM me in the first place?
How exactly am I a bigot when I have friends that are Christian, Muslim, Hindi etc? YOU'RE the bigot around here.

Anymore of this and I will put my foot down, and you will lose.

Thanks! :D You see, this proves my point to Xenon about you lying behind my back. Does this look like "religious spam" to anyone here? Well then, you're a liar and now everyone knows it, and even if you "put your foot down" as a means of lashing out at the one who proved you wrong, that won't change. :mryellow:

(Also, if we compare my PMs to yours, we see that 1. You PMed me first, and 2. your PMs are flames while mine are honest enquiries. Hmm. Interesting. :hehe: )

Lol I'm sure you could. Not that you're actually going to try: you're just going to hide behind labelling me as a "troll" in an attempt to try and invalidate my points. Just like how neither Spiraldoor nor Tobbe could answer the questions I posited to each of them. So I'll say it again: I've won this debate. Thanks for participating no need to argue further: I've won it.

All the people that describe themselves as atheists ( not all people who don't believe in a god or supernatural being are atheists! ) say the lack of evidence for the existence of a god is their reason not to believe in a god. This links to science in the way that
1) scientists also only believe that the phenomena's that are existent are the phenomena's that have been proven and
2) that most atheists believe in the scientific explanations for the existence of the universe

Now get a Image
if humans would actually use their überbrains, would unite into one race and one country, and wouldn't be so goddamn selfish, the world wouldn't be a wreck

Johnny. You didn't win the debate. Noone agrees with you. That automatically means that you haven't won. Winning a debate means us agreeing with you, and:

Xenon said he apologized about accidentally calling it religious spam. Now you're going off and acting like he and Stacey meant it, which is morphing the truth.

Well that's a brilliant form of innocence there. Claiming innocence and blaming someone else. That's the worst excuse I have ever heard when the PMs are right in front of us. THERE'S A REASON WHY THEY'RE CALLED PERSONAL MESSAGES. Stacey may not speak with as much professional grammar, just because she doesn't, but that has nothing to do with her intentions, wwhich weren't any less valid than yours.

You sound as if you're some clever being that thinks "Above" us all, when you can't even go without changing quotes, saying people fail to prove something and you can't even reply with any proof in your post, saying people said something else, covering up things you said then re-saying them then covering them up again, and contradicting yourself.

Does the first point include life on other planets? I rest my case. :)

Hahaha so now you're saying "you can't win this debate unless WE all agree with you!". That's precious. Winning a debate doesn't always mean persuading the other side to your own point of view. http://www.actdu.org.au/archives/actein ... kills.html It doesnt' take a genius to know that there are other aspects as well, such as logic, rationality, staying on track, consistency... all things you, Tobbe and Spiraldoor seem to lack from what I've seen.
RayFan9876 wrote:Xenon said he apologized about accidentally calling it religious spam. Now you're going off and acting like he and Stacey meant it, which is morphing the truth.
How cunning. Accusing me to try change the subject of how Stacey lied about me behind my back. No, Stacey told a moderator I spammed her inbox, when in reality she brought an argument from a thread into a personal message to flame me because I proved her wrong. That won't change no matter how much you try to cover up for her; and it's also curious that Xenon disappeared ever since I pointed out that she should be at least temporarily banned. Interesting.

Claiming innocence? I never claimed innocence, I merely presented the PMs for all to look at from an unbiased point of view. It's the PMs that claim my innocence, not me. And it's also the PMs that blame Stacey, not me. You're just trying to contort them to suit your own purposes, as you've done with most/all my posts. Secondly, I didn't say she didn't have professional grammar,(although she really doesn't) YOU did. Well done. That, however, is beside the point: I never mentioned Stacey's grammar at all in regards to personal messaging, yet once again you're talking as though I accused her of "bad grammar" and used that to try and justify some point or other I had. As always, you misinterpret to suit your own means, namely, falsely representing me. No... I wouldn't even call it "misinterpretation" anymore- *slander* is probably a better word. You're right in Stacey's boat.

You sound extremely arrogant, ignorant, and clueless about how debates even work. You constantly contort, misinterpret and twist what's being said to "disprove" your own imaginary points that others are apparently bringing up to make yourself look intelligent in front of everyone else, when the truth is you're just acting like a silly girl with a grudge against differing points of view. I don't see anymore point in even talking to you.

True. But why exactly is this an important thing? Stop wasting my time, man.

Scientists don't believe in life on other planets, they only suspect that it exists. This is because scientists have studied life and the things organisms need to develop and live and are researching as we speak on which planets these criteria are met.

I rest my case.

Johnny, I don't want to argue with you and I don't want to answer a chain of quotes. I withdrew myself from this debate because I had already addressed the key points to you and there was nothing to respond to once you acknowledged them. If you still want to think atheism is a malicious hate group that's composed of narrow-minded, irrational people that's entirely up to you, although I rather hope you've since questioned your definition.

As for Stacey, she is a moderator here. I found out about your PM exchanges during a private discussion that concerned you and this topic and made an inaccurate assumption; I've already apologised for that. I can't comprehend why you're still pursuing these pathetic ban requests when the issue at hand has already been resolved. Nobody's getting banned, live with it :roll:
