White Sox Fan For Life Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 QUOTE(Beltin'Bill @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) I get really caught up in discussions like this and think WSFFL is making a big mistake in using anecdotes and fan polls as a basis for his argument. You called me a DUDE! What does my avatar look like? What does the name on my paper say? Well for starters I chose to talk about this to baseball fans so that I can get their opinion and try to understand their point of view. Also you guys have been such a great help for me I am getting new ideas and thinking about revising the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Fan For Life Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 08:01 PM) you arent offending, you are straying from the topic. To me, Curses just enforce my romanticized view of the sport of baseball. I love the sport, and sometimes it just seems like there are greater forces at hand. LOL, all the atheists on the site are probably pointing and laughing at this post, but I am being honest. I even mentioned that I was straying from the topic to try and relate another issue to what you were saying. But unfortunately, again we never really understand each other again. Why would all the atheist laugh at this point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you prefaced the statement with "I know this is off-topic", but it still doesnt apply to the conversation. Baseball curses and Abortion are not topics that you can move back and forth from to prove your point. Furthermore, I dont want to discuss even a hypothetical situation dealing with abortion. Do you think you can put that hypothetical into your paper and it will make sense to your teacher? Atheists laugh at me because I have a belief in curses, which points to a belief in a higher power, which they dont believe in. Like I said, it is all a matter of belief.

Do you think you can put that hypothetical into your paper and it will make sense to your teacher? You also had stated this one time in this thread I wouldnt write this paper. There are too many intangibles, there is no concrete proof, it is based on belief, which you dont have. Its easy to say "I dont believe" This quote I was trying to relate it to another controversial issue hoping that you would understand where I was coming from. So I was trying to make you understand my point of view not my teacher! There is no need for me to mention abortion in my paper when I am trying to make you understand why I mentioned it in the first place. So are you saying that you are an atheist too? Is that why some people are laughing at you because you actually believe in a higher powere when it comes to baseball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that why some people are laughing at you because you actually believe in a higher powere when it comes to baseball? You are getting confused, really confused here. And no, I am not an atheist, not even close. I am certainly not speaking for all atheists, only the few who poked fun at me a little bit in the two threads you have going(Beltin Bill and someone else, I cant rememeber.) They are just "laughing" at me on basic principle of their belief(or lack thereof) in any sort of a God or higher power. Curses dont exist to atheists, because curses imply a higher power.

There is no need for me to mention abortion in my paper when I am trying to make you understand why I mentioned it in the first place. I understand that you are trying to relate the issue to make me see your viewpoint, but I see it as opening a can of worms that I dont even want to think about. My teacher comment was meant for you to try and understand that in an argument like this, you cant just change gears and present a whole other topic to make your argument make sense to me. Im not going to even discuss it because I feel strongly about it, and I dont want to talk about it. If your teacher came at you with an opposite viewpoint in her criticisms of your rough draft, you couldnt throw that abortion example at her, right? So why would you tell me?

May be I am getting confused but I do have some kind of understanding to some of the things that you are saying. I was just asking you if you are an atheists because you said some of them were laughing at you. So I assume that they were laughing at another atheists because you believe in something of a greater power! I know I wouldn't throw the abortion example at her because I agree with you that would be getting off hand. But this is not my paper this is just another forum to talk baseball with other threads that don't necessarily have to do with baseball.

Well you never know about those atheists because even though they don't believe in a higher power they still use the word "God." It is my paper that we are discussing here! But right now I was just trying to make you understand where I was coming from. It seems like you like to retaliate back on everything that is wrong about my thread or something in that sort.
