Failed how? There are people in this thread making logical arguments on exactly the topic in question.

Re: [OT] Plato\'s Pub and Philosophical Society
You mean I was able to turn Fyron around?!? 
Sorry to deter your philosophical debate Fyron, that wasn't my intentions, I just simply wanted to bring out that we do have free will. I will now leave and you can have your debate.

OT topics are the meterietes of the forums - they burn big and bright, for a relatively short time until people get tired of them and stop posting. It has happened before. Set the view to "Show All Topics" and you can see for yourself. This one only has 200 Posts so far; others have many more.

There is a difference between holding a position and playing Socrates.

Your post had not an ounce of logical argument or philosophical merit to it, actually. All you did was to say "this is how it is". There was no reasoning given.

I assume Atrocities was joking. Look at his post count. He has posted here enough times to know about OT topics. In fact, he has started several of those OT threads that swelled in sized.

Well, we seem to have left behind our discussion of Fyron's theory that the Roman Catholic Church slowed progress and lengthened the "Dark Ages" by a couple hundred years, the topic that started this thread, and moved on to all kinds of philosophical meanderings. Since we're talking about predestination, perhaps we have found our way back to early-modern religion. Are you a closet Calvinist Fyron?
