Once again, I want to know what *you* mean, not what someone else means.

so you don't know when the ball is on your side of the fence
pick it up....and give it a toss
Spirit first?
or substance?
chose any meaning you care to
Rofl. No, he asked you a question and you refuse to elaborate. Your usual aversion.
If your stance is so great, and your knowledge so absolute, why cannot you answer questions?
But this makes the entire question you're posing MEANINGLESS. Choose randomly. That would in turn "prove" whatever you wished it to, in whatever way you wanted to. Because you don't give the definitions.
Why won't you first elaborate and make your questions mean something? You haven't even tested the hypothesis and premise for "spirit."
That again renders your question meaningless if you can't even form your own definition and are asking others to just make up one. What the hell are you trying to do?

as you have demonstrated.....
Spirit first?
or substance?
Neither. I don't use those concepts in evaluating the universe. I think both are too vague to be useful.
Your ball.
Exactly. So you might as well try and make your question compelling: One that demands attention. Now it demands it in the wrong way. People don't want to answer when they don't know what you mean exactly. Yet YOU expect exact answers.
Indeed.
What do you mean by spirit? Alcohol?
If you can't give your definitions, your question is meaningless and empty. You get to decide the grading system to evaluate the answers AFTER the answer is given. That is not a debate. That's an inane, empty question.

so throw the universe out of the discussion so we can talk about it.......?

Are alcoholic spirits a substance? Do ideas generated by such spirits have substance?
Oh, so only your religion counts eh? I've told you at least twice already. I'm Buddhist. Are you being judgmental?
You haven't shown this to be true. You don't even know what i look like.
Nope, I don't drink until the evening. It's morning for me. So give me something of substance to debate.

Your eyes are failing, old man.

You haven't shown this to be true. Oh, you also haven't shown that your last post is anything but a personal attack against me. It's not overly effective.
What do you mean by spirit? The horse?

this would more entertaining if you would simply stop asking for definitionYour eyes are failing, old man.

you sound like a little kid tugging on my pant leg
do you want to talk about belief?
use what you know.....and post it
You first. What do *you* mean by the word 'spirit'? For me, it means an alcoholic drink. And I prefer a substantive debate before imbibing. So, substance first, please.
And it would be possible to debate if you would actually give a definition.
What do you mean by spirit?
Again, more with the same old.
I know i'm not convinced by your claims. I believe your question about spirit and substance is empty and meaningless unless you can define your OWN question. Otherwise your agenda is other than debating.
Well, that seems to be clear. His agenda is to troll, not to debate.
