| | + | There is a person who was blocked at another wiki in the past. I feel this person is is obsessed with me and an unreasonable and contentious person. His/her modus operandi is very apparent now. He/she plays armchair internet psychologist and likes to endlessly ruminate about me and no doubt Conservapedia as well. He/she is also obsessed with the comedy/satires of atheism and evolution that I created and I suspect they rub salt in his foolish atheist religious beliefs. Needless to say, I have better things to do with my time. I will not be participating or reading this community portal anymore. I did appreciate some of the feedback and am happy with accede to reasonable requests. I wish RobS the best in his new initiative. [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 04:48, 7 July 2011 (EDT) |
| | + | :This is not the response I would have expected from somebody who makes a habit out of calling out people who refuse to respond to, or debate, issues. One can therefore assume that people like Dawkins have better things to do with their time than answer calls for debates - especially from people who do not debate themselves - and thus we can now expect all such demands to cease? |
| | + | :That said, I'm glad to see you did take note of the calls for the locking and redirection of talk pages to be removed. [[User:TracyS|TracyS]] 08:27, 7 July 2011 (EDT) |
| | + | :::Tracy, I returned to tie up a loose end in my discussion with Nate. With that being said, perhaps you have a limitless time budget to respond to every and obscure Tom, Dick and Harry adherent of the foolish atheist religion. I wish to do more important things. I have kept the door open to debate more prominent members of the atheist religion though if they presented me the right offer. There is nothing stopping obscure adherents of atheism from asking the more prominent members of their religion to debate me with an attractive debate offer. In addition, I have made a debate offer to the atheist [[Penn Jillette]]. [[User:Conservative|conservative]] 18:20, 7 July 2011 (EDT) |
| | + | ::::Clarification: It seems as though there is some misunderstanding among some obscure atheists. I thought I had made it clear that [[Atheist Population|global atheism]] was both errant, foolish and in decline in its number of adherents. So while I did use the term "prominent atheist" I merely was using the term in relation to their standing among their fellow foolish atheists. I was certainly not meaning to give the impression that they have "high standing" in the world and before God. Scripture does declare: "Men of low degree are only vanity and men of rank are a lie; In the balances they go up; They are together lighter than breath." I also cite this from CP's article entitled [[Views on Atheists]]: Dr. Sam Harris is a founder of the New Atheism movement. Sam Harris is quite aware of the stigma surrounding atheism and has even advocated that atheists no longer call themselves atheists.[2] In fact, Dr. Harris has said concerning the label of atheist, "It's right next to child molester as a designation."[3] Even before the 20th century [[Atheism and mass murder|mass murder spree by atheists]], atheism was associated with immorality. Webster's dictionary says the very word atheism was synonymous with "wickedness/immorality".[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atheism] I hope I cleared things up. So if obscure atheists want to ask their more prominent members within their foolish community to debate me, I am still willing to do so if an attractive offer was presented despite the sordid and deceitful history of atheism (see: [[Atheism and Mass Murder]] and [[Atheism and deception]] and [[Atheism and morality]]). Also, since repetition is the mother of learning, I did want to stress that it would not be due to my debating prowess that I would win such a debate effortlessly and unequivocally, but merely due to [[Atheism|utter weakness of the atheist position.]] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] 22:39, 7 July 2011 (EDT) |

| | + | ::::::Whereas it is very noble of you to offer to debate people, you should also realise that nobody is going to debate a faceless individual, especially one who demands money - or rather some monetary guarantee - to debate. As far as I can tell, nobody knows who you are - and that includes your fellow admins here at CP. You have presence on the internet outside of CP, and besides your anonymous calls for debates, you have no published papers on creationism, or homosexuality, or atheism. In other words, you have no credentials, nor presence that anybody is aware of. And nobody is going to debate somebody who runs around calling himself "Conservative". Build up some street cred, put a name and credentials behind your demands for a debate and maybe then people will take you seriously. But once again, nobody is going to look twice at an anonymous nobody shouting at them from behind locked pages. Get out there, make a name - your own name - for yourself and then people might take you seriously. [[User:TracyS|TracyS]] 07:56, 8 July 2011 (EDT) |
