I'm afraid that he did argue that there were no moral absolutes and when he was asked was that statement itself an absolute replied by saying he was not going to get into that kind of circular argument.

Certainly. All human beings are created equal. Racism is wrong. Dachau was wrong. These are moral absolutes.

It was at that point I realized you weren't very qualified. Not even to quote the bible. Or to understand that which you were quoting did nothing to help your case. The Bible actually says; 1In the begining God created the heavens and the earth.
2. and the Earth was formless and void and a darkness was over the surface of the deep; and the spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
3. Then God said, "Let there be light."

So for example those who hear the words atheist creed immediately start asking 'what creed'? They ignore the fact that I was commenting on Paulas statement that atheism is de facto secular, humanist, rational and democratic.

Since I have explained very clearly to David on this thread that there is absolutely no question of any such censorship taking place, it would be nice to think that he would post a message on his forum correcting this entirely false statement. I'm obviously not holding my breath though.

mlearnedfriend,
Either your name is Greg or you both copied this off the same fundie site.
Unity - nice god vs nasty god? grace or deeds? to name but a few problems
self proclaimed authority - presuppositionalist to be polite about it
Endorsement by jesus - presuppositionalist, and he has not said anything that had been said before him.
Fulflled prophecy - such as? Do you really think isaiah 7:14 is really about jesus? What about Jeremiah's 70 years of captivity? More like 49! What about the promise that Solomon would always have a decendant on the throne of israel? to name but a few.
Archaeology - you are actually on to a total loser here: Jericho had no wall at the time joshua was supposedly on his baby killing spree. It was also deserted, as was Ai. Quirinus - we ctually have a list of govenors for that area - the bible is just wrong/inconsistent http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/quirinius.html
superiority of concept: What, you mean toning homosexuals, not planting two different crops in the same field and curing leprosy with avian blood? This is a highly subjective statement you are making here. Hinduism has been around a lot longer - surly by your logic, it must be superior to christianity.
It's ability. People claim the Koran changes them - as did the hitler rallies, so why does that mean any of them are true? The bible also lowers the quality of life for some believers.

I find use of the term "wearisome" rather odd, and am a bit surprised they are having to cope with size (especially considering what Josh deals with here) but apart from that the moderation process description suggests articles won't be removed, but simply won't be shown until they are approved. Is that the way it works (I have never posted)? I am also intruiged as to what the moderation criteria are.

There is no misunderstanding. The situation is clear. The fact that even with this plain, simple, and evidenced account of things, some atheists still manage to turn this into 'this is another one of Robertsons' lies', is yet another indication of the twisted and surreal world of the Dawkins website. And the language, lack of argumentation and the sheer hatred is obvious to anyone who reads the thread on the Dawkins website. I am sorry I ever returned

Yep, it smells rather fishy doesn't it. Maybe David can explain why god was rewarding him for dishonesty and taking £7.50 off what is due the bus owner and his family.
I think Deuteronomy 28 says something about what will happen if you break the commandments. Looks like I wont be buying any pies in Dundee for a wee while (Deut 28:54 "Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating."
I see he has thrown a wobbly and will not get into discussion with us. That's a pity, I would like to see him makig a total tit of himself answering MPhil's omnipotence post.

David Robertson(2362): "...early on in my ministry we decided to take a busload of children on an outing to the beach. We hired the bus and were told it cost £87.50. The only people who knew about this were myself and my wife. We did not have the money and we knew the church did not. We felt a bit embarrassed about going to ask so instead we just prayed that the money would come in. When we left the bus I wrote the driver a cheque for £87.50 (money that we did not have). He told us just to make it a straight £80. As we left the bus some of the parents handed £30. Later that night someone put a cheque for £50 through the door. Now of course you can claim that it was just an enormous improbability. Or (as will doubtless happen) there will be those who say I am lying, forgetting etc. But I know because I was there."

Someone wake me up when David provides some evidence for his supernatural claims. To be honest, all you need to do is look at the so-called virgin birth prophecy (Isaiah 7:14) in context to see that it is not about jesus nd that the gospel writers have lied. David's response was something along the lines of anyone who knows anything about prophecy knows that the prophecy need not be binding to the context or the person it was about - he never justifiued why - If I recall when I challenged him to support that claim, he called me a fundie - Time for your medication David!
