That is not how I saw it at all. It sounds like he believes it only because it says so in the bible, not that he agrees with what is being said. It comes across as though he believes it BECAUSE the bible says so.

I wanted to know what HE thought of what I was saying which had nothing to do with anything that was in the bible. He took examples of something different in the bible and applied it to his answer.

It is like if I asked you some random question and you started quoting the bible as your anwer.
Yes, but what if it IS your answer? With him replying with scripture it states that he believes scripture on this matter. Does he have an answer that is original and totally made up from off the top of his head? No. But neither do a lot of us in this day and age. Most everything we beleive as humans comes from other humans, other outside sources. That's how we learn. We observe things others say and do and then we decide if we agree with them or not. You aren't citing your source for your argument because you think that it's original but it's not it comes from a lifetime of observation and agreeing with others and you can't pin down one simple source that was your muse for your oponion. Dak can. Is that a crime against the rules of dabating? No. And if you say yes then you are just as guilty except you can pin it all one one source.
