Can I just add that I was making the point to Ed that context is important, and I do not accept quote-mining as legitimate: just as there are moronic creationists who will snip a piece out of Darwin's writing and claim it shows he was doubtful when the context shows that he was just being rhetorical, it is also just as moronic to take scripture out of context. The examples I gave were not serious, they were just to demonstrate the absurdity of quote-mining.

But it seems to have been taken seriously by Ed…

Hi Stuart,

You keep asserting sentence fragments are complete sentences.
For someone that requires unambiguous evidence, Stuart,
would you not be a hypocrite not to provide such?

Sorry Ed, I won't be engaging with you any more.

Hi Stuart,

I really didn't think you had any proof,
but I'm open to unambiguous evidence.
It is too bad you really did not have any.

Your friend

Hi Ed,

I don't believe that Stu ran.
He merely finally grew tired of trying to explain
a simple concept to the point of exhaustion.

I would have done the same much sooner than Stu.

I disagree T8, predicates are added gravy to a sentence. ex: Jesus wept. Stuart smiled. T8 sneezed. Edj listened. Princess laughed. Come here. Stay there. Yes. No. Maybe so. who knows. possible. how come. don't know. okay. the end. Stuart smiled, at the cat. T8 sneezed, due to his allergies Edj listened, for the first time Princess laughed at Stuart smiling at the cat. there is no god. full sentence. however in Stuarts case, he should plural god, for he does not believe in any. technically. the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. typing 101.

A complete sentence has three characteristics:

First, it begins with a capital letter.
In addition, it includes an end mark—either a period [ . ], question mark [ ? ], or exclamation point [ ! ].
Most importantly, the complete sentence must contain at least one main clause. A main clause contains an independent subject and verb and expresses a complete thought.

Note: A predicate is one of the two main parts of a sentence (the other being the subject, which the predicate modifies).

So not to be confused with a sentence like “Jesus wept” which is a sentence, but not a complete one.

[princess]

I tend to think you have forgotten predicate pronouns.

“There” is not the subject; it merely signals that the true subject will follow.

Hence; 'There is no God', (i.e. 'There is no food', 'There is no water'). Complete sentences, thoughts, actions ect. ect.
