In the five years of debating religion the most fun for me has been going toe to toe with someone who implies reasoning from their scriptures. Not only was it simple to turn their own holy book against them but I enjoyed employing scripture from my own bible that I wrote sometimes quoting passages that eerily answered their questions as if the member asked GOD directly themselves.
The outlook of this tactic was to show members that if they wanted to use the word of GOD to defend their position, I had no objection of using it too. This became a frustrating practice among believers because they usually could not prove their Holy scriptures to be true (which is why they continually had to put faith into them) and they usually had no interest in proving mine wrong or right. Usually this battle of the books would end up turning into insult with the opposing RF member disgracing or discounting my relationship with GOD as well as my documented conversations.
In other words, it would cancel out the practice of using books to define the word of GOD (which was fine by me). Unfortunately, this would usually be where others would stop contributing to the discussion.
Why? I can only assume that the book that they were using was their last and most relevant line of defense and reasoning. To them there was probably no where else to go. There was nothing else to discuss if you didn’t believe in their word of GOD.
But what is the next line of reasoning when faith abandons or doesn’t convince someone else? Do they ever reflect upon the lives and decisions of others? Do they go to statistics? Do they examine real life examples? What exactly is the next line of reasoning after GOD’s word fails to impress the non-believer?
