Couple breaks up on airplane. Tweets on it go viral.

Oh, read the Patrick Kane thread in Journalism Topics. There's lots of discussion about "knowing" and "believing," led by me.

 

Typical Tony. You challenge others, but dodge and run when the same challenges are turned back upon you.

But hey, at least you admit you don't know anything. That is a positive step.

 

Heard a few stories from waitresses at a nice restaurant that said they've seen more than a few messy breakups. The guy is dumb enough to figure she won't make a scene in a nice restaurant. The girl figures she's about to be proposed to since they typically don't go to nice restaurants and he said he had something serious to discuss.

 

He didn't dodge anything. He said he doesn't know -- he believes. Does that not answer the question?

 

Typical OOPsie. Expect someone to make a claim that no one alive today has the capability of making, then claims he's won the debate. A human being simply would have admitted the difference between "believing" and "knowing," but not our OOPsie.

I neither dodged nor ran. I am a believer. No one is a "knower" when it comes to religion and God. And because I admit I don't "know" for sure about God (but I do, most definitely, believe), OOPsie tries to say that means I said I know nothing about anything. Just more of the same from OOPsie that has everyone on this board wondering what the hell his mother did to him growing up.

 

I have taught him that it is my understanding that:

(1) the Old Testament is mythology;
(2) Jesus was a real person and we believe that the events of the New Testament really happened as it says they happened;
(3) I believe there is a God, but we can't prove it, and I believe he/she is beyond my comprehension to understand, so I don't try.

 

He is hiding behind semantics. That is a dodge.

That said, he sure seems comfortable pushing his lack of knowledge on others.

 

Wrong again, Tony. I didn't claim you admitted to know nothing about anything. I pointed out that you admitted you know nothing about G-d. In other words, as usual, I confronted you with the truth and you responded with evasion and a personal attack.

That admission on your part is interesting given how comfortable you are pushing things on others when you aren't even sure about them yourself.

My initial point remains. You challenged Dick's claim about what his child knows, saying it was only what that child has been told, yet you evade my challenge in response. By all means, replace know with believe. Is it what you believe or what you have been told.

Now try again and answer it honestly.

 

I thought for sure the dumped woman would be the most annoying person on this thread.

But she's no better than third.

 

Hi LTL!

 

You misspelled sixth.

 

Bumgarner is fourth.
