@Algebe
Oh for the love of Tadpole! I should have known you would go that route. You pathetic Froggers never cease to amaze me. You obviously missed the reference to "sole", meaning the baby frog should be anchored to the lettuce by means of a toothpick through ALL FOUR FEET. Or did you just conveniently sidestep that fact because it does not meet your agenda? Also, depending on which of your "text experts" you ask, the term "sole" is a bad translation, and is actually suppose to be "Seoul". And from that it certainly does not take a genius to see it is a very clear and obvious prophesy aligning with the world events in Korea today. You are getting your hyperboles and allegories mixed up with your antonyms and hominems.... as usual.
@Tin-man
I didn't say anything about frogs. I think that was Alembe. But if you're talking about Seoul and not sole, I think it's dogs not frogs that they eat there.If you're interested in sole, I can recommend the fish and chips in Whitby, England. I'm afraid frogs are off the menu, but the mushy peas are excellent.
I do know that they eat frogs in Bali. I had some there once, and they were tasty until I found out they were freshly hand-harvested from the sewers of Cairo and rushed to Bali on a tramp steamer through the Panama Canal. If you go to Bali be sure to miss the trip to the wild-life sanctuary where soldiers with machine guns sell mediocre souvenirs made from the shells of endangered turtles.
I had frog's legs in Paris, too. It was in that restaurant that I learned the French word for "rat" sounds just like the English word. I was also fortunate enough to witness a quaint French folk dance in which everyone jumps up on chairs and yells "rat."
As tasty, protein-rich alternatives to frogs in your salad, have you tried caterpillars, snails, and slugs?
@Algebe
Just gotta go sticking YOUR nose in here, huh? As if it is MY fault you and Alembe are practically TWINS. No doubt you two planned this whole thing just to promote your sick and twisted Frog Fetish. I bet you both have matching wrist bands that say "WWKD?" (What Would Kermit Do?)
@Tin-Man,
It’s easy to remember: Algebe is the Brit in Oz, I'm the Brit in 'Merica.
However, I see that as frequently occurs in these theist debates, you have retreated behind a wall of word salad. Verily those leaves shalt wilt and dry in the sun and then “be like chaff in the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away.” (Psalm 35:5).
But enough of this frivolity, for I have miles to go before I sleep.
With apologies to the late, great Irish comedian Dave Allen, “"Goodnight, thank you, and may your good (sic) go with you"
@Alembe
Well! At least MY word salad is properly topped with tasty Tadpoles of the true Gospels! Unlike YOUR treacherously poisonous word salad that is contaminated with your heretical little froggies! REPENT WHILE YOU STILL CAN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What Tin said! Last year, a lunar eclipse was a few seconds longer than what I feel very strongly is normal, and 70 years ago, the nation of Toad-rael was restored, and according to the Book of Frogelation, all of this is an undeniable sign that The Rapture will happen on... April 23, 2018... nope, it still didn’t happen... surely it will happening... uhhh... (guess #1,239,541) the winter of 2018!!! Repent, or the almighty Sky Frog will destroy you! I look forward to seeing you on your knees begging for mercy as he throws you into a lake of fire and brimstone.
I know that it angers beyond comprehension, but I’ve just proven Sky Frog’s existence! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL! LOL!
@Rohan Re: "I know that it angers beyond comprehension, but I’ve just proven Sky Frog’s existence!"
No, you haven't.
Well, YOU cannot prove that Sky Frog doesn’t exist. I believe that he exists, therefore he must exist. XD
You should all be triggered like the mental retards that you all are! And why is it that you never said anything about the religion of Frogs-Lam?! Is it because you are afraid of being called a frogs-lamophobe?
And btw this satire was inspired by things that the FFAF’s fanboys have actually said when their bigoted and dreadfully-misguided views are challenged by an atheist.
FFS _ SOMEONE REACH BEHIND HIS HEAD AND PUSH THE OFF SWITCH. I've fallen and I can't stand up. I have slipped on tears of laughter and I think I broke a rib.
Don't fuck with The Frog

Where in the fuck do you find this crap!!! ROFLMAO
I arrived at Atheist Republic with an original argument. I asked any atheist to prove his own inner thoughts were his own. Algebe replies by saying, “I asked. The answer I gave my self was “yes””. My reply was that I use the exact same technique and the reply I get is “No” - and that reply comes from a Being more powerful and intelligent than me.
So, it does not constitute proof, but if I give you the benefit of the doubt as to your own personal existence (based on an inner question) - the least you can do is give me the same benefit of the doubt.
At the very least, your proof of self existence is no less or more valid than my proof of OverLord existence - or Evil One existence.
And for every 1000 atheists who agree that “yes” I really am my inner thoughts - there are 40 “theists” (if we must use the term) who will give a different story.
Based on this - an appeal to authority can be made. Jesus preached both a devil and a god. Joan of Arc did much the same. And the Buddha preached an Evil One called “Mara” - as well as alluded to an OverLord.
And we do not call these people insane. We call them Messiahs; War Hero’s; and Elevated Gurus.
In short, I came here with an original point that is much like a stale mate in chess - you can’t prove your case any better than I can prove mine - however there really is proof (either way).
@rat spit
"And we do not call these people insane."
Actually we do call them insane. We even have nice places to lock them away.
Ugh. Those places aren’t nice.
Please address the argument - not the inconsistencies in it.
Thank you.
@Rat Spit Re: "Please address the argument - not the inconsistencies in it."
Dude, that is great!... LMAO... For what it's worth, it is good having you around. You're pretty cool.... *thumbs up*...
That is pretty funny!
You’re cool too, Tin-Man. The feeling is mutual. Now if we can just convince Sheldon to be my friend ...
Aw hell... You can forget that because even I ain't your friend ;-P
rmfr
No Arakish. Don’t say that. Why can’t we all just get along?
@Rat Spit Re: "Now if we can just convince Sheldon to be my friend ..."
Sad to say, but you may just have to settle with adoring him from afar.
(Edit to add:)
*blowing police whistle loudly*.....STOP! Stop, stop, stop!... What the....??? This is totally unacceptable... *shaking head in disgust*.... Enough of all this sentimental touchy-feely nonsense! Save it for another thread! Now, not trying to point fingers here... *cougharakishcough*... but after reading the last few posts I just realized somebody caused us to stray waaay off topic. This is an argument thread, dammit! So get your cantankerous asses back to bitching and bickering!
Sam Harris says that there is no free will - sorry Rat Spit, Atheists can't help themselves because they have no free will.
@Cog
No free will, huh?... Hmph!... *folding arms across chest*... That is absurd! Prove to me I am not typing this post on my very own without the assista-... *looking upward*... *speaking toward ceiling*... (Slow down, dammit! I can't type that fast! You're gonna have to repeat that last sentence!)..... *back to typing*... without the assistance of some higher tower! It is ridicu-.... *looking up to ceiling again*.... (What?... What about power?.... Oh! Sorry. Misunderstood you.)... *back to typing*.... of some higher Power.... *back to ceiling*... (There. Better? Oh, just a suggestion, but wouldn't "influence" sound better than "assistance"? Look...)... *back to typing*... Prove to me I'm not typing this post without the INFLUENCE of some higher Power.... *back to ceiling*... (See? Much better ring to it... Well, why not?... FINE then! White the damn thing yourself!)... *storms out of room in a huff*....
No Problem: Sat, 12/01/2018 - 02:00 I wrote this prediction based on a chemical analysis of your metals and recent history:
"At exactly 02:33, Tin man will respond to my last post asserting that he has free will. He will use these exact words. " o free will, huh?... Hmph!... *folding arms across chest*... That is absurd! Prove to me I am not typing this post on my very own without the assista-... *looking upward*... *speaking toward ceiling*... (Slow down, dammit! I can't type that fast!

Sorry Tin - you just can't beat science. Everything is determined.

No free will? The Buddha was posed with the same doctrine. He moved his arms up and down; back and forth and said “I’ve never heard of such a weird doctrine.”
@Rat Spit Re: Buddha and Free Will
So, answer THIS, Mr. Smartie Pants: If your dear little Buddha really DID have free will, then WHY did he not move his arms in a circular motion,huh? Up and down and back and forth are CLEARLY the sign of a cross, so that PROVES he was being controlled by some sort of spiritual being. HAH!
@Tin-Man
This was pre-enlightenment... err .... before he converted to Buddhism from early, early Catholicism. Like we’re talking 450 BC Christianity here. Way before that Jesus fellow came along and changed it all around.
Hey! Wait a minute! I thought telling him I ain't his friend was "bitching and bickering." ;-P

@Arakish Re: "Hey! Wait a minute! I thought telling him I ain't his friend was "bitching and bickering." ;-Pv
It most certainly was NOT. It was merely a statement of personal opinion which is not proof of anything. Now quit yer bitchin' and get back out there and start squabbling.
