This guy makes me so mad, how should I reply to this kind of trash?  :upset:  :rant:  (I won't take ignore-him for an answer.)
Quote from: "Ivan Tudor C McHock"If your faith in god is due to your need to explain the origin of the universe, and you do not apply this same logic to the origin of god, then you are an idiot.

Remind them that Freewill is not the elementary question of whether or not you choose what you do but how much control you have over your will itself. Schoppenhaur wrote on Freewill a lot. Here are some good quotes:

QuoteMan does at all times only what he wills, and yet he does this necessarily. But this is because he already is what he wills.

QuoteI can do what I will: I can, if I will, give everything I have to the poor and thus become poor myself â€" if I will! But I cannot will this, because the opposing motives have much too much power over me for me to be able to. On the other hand, if I had a different character, even to the extent that I were a saint, then I would be able to will it. But then I could not keep from willing it, and hence I would have to do so.

Quote[E]very thing-in-being must be something, must have a definite nature. It cannot exist and yet be nothing, it cannot be something like the ens metaphysicum, that is, a thing which simply is and no more than is, without any definitions and properties, and consequently, without a definite way of acting which flows from them. . . . But all this is just as true of man and his will as of all other beings in nature. . . . Freedom of the will, when carefully analyzed, means an existence without an essence, which means that something is and at the same time is nothing, which in turn means is not, and consequently is a self-contradiction.

Just respond with class and you've already won. :)

Tell him that you do not find it fruitful to have conversations with sexist bigots who hide behind their god and then ignore him :)

Quote the oh-so-merciful old testament.
I found a site yesterday, I thought it was an interesting read. Check it out, it has some pretty good information for when you need a counter argument.

Also, if you ever need to look up a bible verse

Hope I've been helpful :)

Thanks everyone, I'll have a lot to say and quote whenever he gets on again.

Tell him that you expected nothing different from him since he worships a sexist, bigoted, schizophrenic manic.

Then throw in some quotes from the Old Testament. That's what I would have done.

People like that make my blood boil. Good luck! Please keep us updated on the argument, I'd love to follow it.
