When Prophets Come Alive [View all] guillaumeb Sep 2018 OP
Muhammad, Jesus, Mary, Buddha, Rumi didn't exist. AZ8theist Sep 2018 #1
Rumi most certainly did exist cvoogt Sep 2018 #3
Someone claiming to be a "mystic"... AZ8theist Sep 2018 #5
I am not saying he claimed to be a mystic cvoogt Sep 2018 #7
William Davies, Sun Myung Moon, and David Koresh Major Nikon Sep 2018 #6
And you have a right to your own belief. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #9
There is little reason to think that Muhammad did not exist. rogerashton Sep 2018 #31
Mythical or historical figures, who MineralMan Sep 2018 #2
Mostly I agree cvoogt Sep 2018 #4
Who would read Rumi to Trump? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #11
Tell that to the 85% of your fellow humans guillaumeb Sep 2018 #10
I think I just did. MineralMan Sep 2018 #12
Well, no. Actually you told it to the small population at DU, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #13
Uff da! MineralMan Sep 2018 #14
Of course, Gil's immense fan club don't post their opinions at all. Mariana Sep 2018 #17
So secretive, in fact... trotsky Sep 2018 #20
I yam out here in the general population. 🤔 No secrets. eom sprinkleeninow Sep 2018 #27
Gil has explained that some of those Mariana Sep 2018 #30
I do encourage him publicly here. As it is evident. sprinkleeninow Sep 2018 #43
You are the only public member of his fan club marylandblue Sep 2018 #35
So GUIL is a partly secret or prosecuted prophet? Bretton Garcia Sep 2018 #38
Yes. Persecution is an occupational hazard of being a prophet. marylandblue Sep 2018 #42
So maybe Guil is an ancient prophet "come to life," literally? Bretton Garcia Sep 2018 #46
Okay I can dig it. Only I have no inkling of who the others are. sprinkleeninow Sep 2018 #44
The nice thing about the internet is that they can all come here marylandblue Sep 2018 #15
Well, they could. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #16
Well, I don't expect that, of course. MineralMan Sep 2018 #32
Argumentum ad populum fallacy. trotsky Sep 2018 #18
Funny, coming from you. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #19
Point out the fallacies I've used, gil. trotsky Sep 2018 #21
I just did. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #22
Good lord you don't even understand what the fallacies are. trotsky Sep 2018 #23
Were you addressing yourself? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #24
Not when you use it incorrectly, no. trotsky Sep 2018 #25
This may, or may not, help: guillaumeb Sep 2018 #26
Yet that's not what you're doing, gil. trotsky Sep 2018 #29
No, it did not help. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #34
The narrative that the religious beliefs of the RCC (i.e., canon law)... trotsky Sep 2018 #47
And in case you have forgotten, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #50
But you didn't acknowledge it being a religious belief. trotsky Sep 2018 #53
So a post about RCC Canon Law is not about religious belief? guillaumeb Sep 2018 #56
I agree it's illogical. But it's been your stance. trotsky Sep 2018 #57
I was speaking of your assertion, not mine. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #58
Because you haven't answered. trotsky Sep 2018 #60
But I did answer, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #62
Please link to these alleged posts. trotsky Sep 2018 #63
Do you agree or disagree with my bolded statement, guillaumeb? trotsky Sep 2018 #73
That's why I named Guillaumeb's fallacy after you marylandblue Sep 2018 #36
I am flattered, but confused. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #37
Your claimed intent is irrelevant marylandblue Sep 2018 #39
Your response is fallacious, unless you can prove some type of mind reading ability. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #40
After claiming intent is part of every fallacy, and that I could not impute intent to you marylandblue Sep 2018 #41
Your response dismissed my explanation because you claimed to have an insight into my intent. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #49
Check. You can question other people's intent, but nobody can question yours. eom. marylandblue Sep 2018 #51
I question, but you made an asssertion. eom guillaumeb Sep 2018 #54
Check. marylandblue Sep 2018 #59
No, you asserted that in spite of my statements, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #61
Yes, and you asserted that I made a fallacy marylandblue Sep 2018 #64
Circularity in evidence. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #65
The circle includes you, so I take it you admit your intent? marylandblue Sep 2018 #66
No, I am outside of the circle. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #67
You just made the same claim here marylandblue Sep 2018 #68
No, I claimed to be a mind reader. eom guillaumeb Sep 2018 #69
Which means you claimed to know his intent marylandblue Sep 2018 #70
If someone chronically engages in whataboutism and tu quoque, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #71
You have your own patterns which allow others to intuit your intent marylandblue Sep 2018 #72
guillaumeb's fallacy trotsky Sep 2018 #48
Did "Muhammad, Jesus, Mary, Buddha or Rumi" have any flaws? trotsky Sep 2018 #8
I do not necessarily belive in profits Doreen Sep 2018 #28
It is simplistic, guillaumeb Sep 2018 #33
😍 sprinkleeninow Sep 2018 #45
Beautiful Thoughts Karadeniz Sep 2018 #52
A nice response. guillaumeb Sep 2018 #55
