If you don't know what to look for
A tell tale sign of someone quitting is the defeated look in their eyes, they're afraid, unsure of themselves, they react to every feint you throw, they'll start throwing homerun punches or haymakers, trying to knock you out in a fit of desperation. The more suttle signs are when they start breathing out of their mouth, waiting out rounds, running away, or walking back to their corner in a depressed and defeated manner.
Well I noticed similar signs of surrender from John Loftus today, as he promptly declared Christianity debunked because of how China was portrayed on the Amazing race, then he stopped all comments from everyone but his staff members. His first sign is the equivilent of a haymaker, trying to knock Christianity out with one last desperate punch while his second one is a more subtle surrender, what I call a 'dishonest retirment.' A dishonest retirment is when an egotistic, self centered, self apointed big name had got beaten up by a no namer (in other words he got humbled) and declares in one way shape or form that, they're moving on to bigger and better things and they lost because they were bored or didn't train and the no namer got a lucky shot in or his game was off and other tired excuses.
The dishonest retiree no longer wants to fight the opposition, instead he spends the rest of his days in a gym surrounded by 'yes' men and other people telling him he's great, he wants his ego stroked, he refuses to go back into the outside world because and that is what we see Loftus doing, surrounding himself with yes men, shutting out the criticism or only allowing the criticism he can handle, just like the dishonest retiree only fights opponenets he knows he can beat, it is no longer about learning, it is about ego stroking, of course the dishonest retiree will deny that he is one, he will talk abotu how he wants to fight the top fighters, he will list off the people that support him, he will try to make the mediocre opponenets he beat sound like a big deal, but in the end actions speak lounder than words and in this case inaction speaks louder than denial.
Let me not forget, for I know what you Loftus yes men are thinking "WELL YOU HAVEN'T REFUTED HIS ARGUMENT THAT CHRISTIANITY IS DEBUNKED!!!"
This is just for you!
This of course is a logical and factual error since the bible never says ONLY Christainity can provide an objective moral basis
2 Corinthians 10:2
" 2 I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world. "
as you can see the 'world standard' that Paul is talking about is a standard that is outside of Christianity. The other argument went something like this.
Man I didn't know Gods intelligence was dependent upon China? non sequitur anyone?
It is also nice to see Loftus judging china to be a good moral society(which of course is based on his own subjective morals) based upon the 'amazing race' show, it is the equivalent of judging oakland as a good moral society based upon the a tourist documentary of oakland, let us not forget about the oh so moral human rights in China

This is not an anti John Loftus blog the goal of this blog is not to obsess over every post made at debunking Christianity, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to comment on this. As a fighter one of the things you develop either by training or experience is recognizing when your opponent has quit. Sometimes it isn't as obvious as him telling the referee "I quit" (or as Robert Duran put it "No Mas") or the trainer throwing in the towel, sometimes it isn't as noticeable, most fighters are too proud to openly quit, they have too much ego, too much testosterone, sometimes you have to know what to look for.
I regret to inform regular readers of this Blog of something I've just decided. I am not going to allow any more comments except from other team members here at DC.

1.People that have never heard of Christianity live moral lives.
2. Christianity says it can ONLY provide an objective moral basis
3.Therefore Christianity is debunked.

1. People that live in china live moral lives even though they've never heard of Christianity
2. therefore God is not smart.
