- Go to ENTER INTO THE CHRISTIAN BLOGGERS MIND: A Dramatic Message for All Others
beachbelle
Go and read my latest post in 'Thoughts of the moments' titled 'SOME TIMES YOU HAVE GOT TO YELL TO GET YOUR POINT ACROSS'.
Ody was not listening to me when I told him that much of what he had been saying about atheist I could say about Christians. he kept going off on the idea that atheist were just being stubborn and not willing to listen and needed to be open minded. Then he went and wrote a whole post that I felt was insulting and very disrespectful due to it showing he was completely ignoring what I had been saying. So I had to find a was to 'yell' at him and see it that did not get the message across. He heard me, but he still was not willing to listen.
I did not repost his stuff because of any lack of creativity. I can and do write my own post. I had a very good point to make that Ody needed to hear and it was about the only way I could figure to get him to finally get the point. He still did not, so there really is no hope for him to ever so other's respect for their beliefs. He will keep on saying all kinds of things about atheist and other who do not believe in God that atheist and others feel they can say back at the Christians.

Westwend and Kooka
Westwend are you kidding? I think plenty of people get the point. You don't exactly have to be a rocket scientest to follow this. Both of these people seem set in their ways and so perhaps that is why people are not saying much. Kooka recast Odysseus's post with his side of the discussion. It is a tempting thing to do when dealing with an issue such as this where neither side will yield but something I have thought better off except in its most ironic form.
The number of times that I have read Blogit posts where the arguments could be used on either side of the issue is infinite.
My point to Kooka, which remains to be acknowledged was that to recast someone else's post in this way is a lazy form of argument. I am still waiting to see a discussion here on this topic which works logically through the arguments point by point. If someone took my post and recast it that way I would not be happy either and most people would feel the same.
Nor would I be happy to be called a plagiarist. I observed with my own two eyes that Odysseus has over-reacted to the situation by calling Kooka a plagiarist. It could have been handled much better all round. I think that each owes the other an apology but knowing Blogit I will probably be the one to get it in the neck for saying this. I can't believe I just gave such a long comment to this.

I read it and I thought I commented on it along the lines of having said something on "the other one" and just reiterating it briefly here. Maybe I said that on another entry. Anyway, I did read it.

I think that evidence for such arguments is similar to using statistics.
Either side can take what they wish and adapt them to serve their argument.
I think life is too short for follow these swapped posts. Give me a considered argument point by point discussion and I'll consider all.

funny
looks like nobody read your blog?
They all read Ody's and took him to the top.
I'll have to see what all the fuss is about.
They should at least have had the common decency to read yours and comment here.
