We often see terms like 'Religious Platitude', 'Anathema', 'AdHominem', and Ontological. I noticed quite a while ago, that uses of such words increased when these peoples simple logic or doctrine fails.
IMO, they sometimes use these kinds of words to patch up obvious flaws in their doctrine.
A bit like selling a house. Give it a cheap paint job and it might sell. Likewise, use big words like these and it might give the appearance of intelligence and authority and it might distract from obvious simple flaws in one's doctrine when they occur.
What do you think? Is this a tactic that some use here? Are some using such words to try and baffle rather than enlighten?
t8 Yes, I do. When so many members here take the Scriptures and interpret it the way they see fit, and thinking if they know Greek or Hebrew they know it all. Yet plain Scriptures they ignore….It is God's Holy Spirit that is to teach us in all things and not any interpretation of, …..
Peace Irenet8,
Is it ontological to say that religious platitude leads to anathema, or just causes adhominem among posters?
Funny JA, once Stuart told me the same thing in regards to religious platitude, although when I ask for him to explain the definition he had no problem with helping me, wonder why he takes such steps with you to leave you to fend for yourself.
I also must add, that the ones that charge another of such matters are usually guilty themselves, this is basic psychology 101.
Is it also strange that this poll was created in the believers sections, and the one who it was intended to ridicule is not allowed to post here. At times ones' must make themselves feel blessed and highly favored for they must not think they already are. Now that's what I call humor.
Words are words, no matter how big or small, an intelligent person does not know everything, they just know where to go to find out, that is even if they care to know.
By the by, Stuart does have a couple of scriptures that he finds to be truths, one is Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It seems, well let's stop here.

Actually it is more directed at those who use words like 'Anathema', 'AdHominem', and 'Ontological'. Stu doesn't use these words because that is not his subject. That is why it is here. Although Stu does use words like anti-baryons and the like when the topic is not about what happened after the Big Bang but how it was caused. So he does engage in such activity as a smoke-screen too.I should reiterate that big words are not really a problem as they are useful in exact definitions, but when they are used as a smoke-screen and simple explanations are ignored, then I see someone trying to baffle the reader and also give an impression of intelligence with the accompanied “how dare you challenge my logic when it is of high-level understanding” attitude.
I think this poll has a legitimate reason for existing here, so I have to disagree with your quoted statement.
By the way POK, i wasn't asking for explanations because i doesn't know the answer (I'm a man of Science myself) but as has been pointed out (I think) to see if the Poster himself understands what he is posting.
Titken (Chicken) Stu, is an athiest so that he can do what he likes without having a conscience. It may well be true what he says but the outright denial the “Reason” for the “big bang”, the “WHY” is a major stumbling block that he, like the trinitarians creed, they will not explain – for very simple reasons – they can't – but we can – in fact where Science Stops – God begins…(so to speak only).
What Athiests call Nature we call God [God inspired]. The whole universe and all within simply SHOUTS out “I was Created” yet Stu -pot and his ilk are as deaf as door posts, in fact worse because if you were to ask the door post “Who made you” it would say, first “God”, then “Man”. The athiests would say “Science, Science made me!”.
Have a “Conscience” not a “Science Con”.

A thought just occurred to me, is this how ones on heaven net speak about each other through their pm/s.
So does this show that big boys only through out on the word with stout, although when confronting other's in their choice of words or statements they hide behind their mamma's skirts?
Just Curious
JA,
Maybe you haven't notice, Stuart and I converse much, Stuart 101 I am well familiar with.
Quote in fact where Science Stops – God begins…(so to speak only). Science would have never started if it was not for the divine creator, directly put.

I disagree again.
I should know better than yourself why I posted this.It is tacking a real thing that happens here which IMO only serves to confuse and deceive.
When some peoples simple logic fails, they sometimes resort to using big words in order to give an aura of intelligence and hence to paint them and their doctrine in a better light by looking authoritative. I pointed out that if you want to be a genius then the real genius is taking something and explaining it is simple terms. Sometimes we use bigger less known words if they are an exact fit, (no problem there), but rambling off a whole lot of terms because they sound intelligent is what I am specifically pointing to.
I believe that it is a fact that this goes on and I am exposing it. It is in fact prolific if you care to read posts from certain members here. If you do not believe this goes on, then you are entitled to that opinion. But I have to disagree with your view if that is the case.
