I would expect to see biological evidence of the body and blood of Christ. That has never been found.

What is it that you find convincing about something so ridiculous, fantastical, and without scientific basis? Or is it just irrational faith?
December 06, 2017 at 11:12
Ooh. How embarrassing. Do you believe in transubstantiation?
December 06, 2017 at 10:48
I will teach you how to do that if you teach me how to employ implausible deniability, as you do so effectively. What's the title of this discussion, ...
December 05, 2017 at 01:34
I read what you said, and I also read between the lines. As I said, it was effectively an accusation, and a false one at that. It comes as no surprise...
December 05, 2017 at 01:20
And there'd be nothing wrong about that, even if it turned out to be false. If you don't know that it's false in advance, you've taken care to assess ...
December 05, 2017 at 01:13
I don't agree. I find that absurd to the point of being humorous. You effectively made a false accusation against me only moments ago by suggesting th...
December 05, 2017 at 01:04
And you have the nerve to suggest that I'm the one who has not been following. I am disagreeing that it's a matter of type rather than severity, and I...
December 05, 2017 at 00:36
I know you've been arguing type! That's the problem.
December 05, 2017 at 00:32
I said that they're not on the same level. I didn't say that they're not of the same type.
December 05, 2017 at 00:30
And, as I have already said, I reject the suggestion that the claim that I was talking about was on the same level as that. It's not a similar claim. ...

Just you wait until the dictatorship of the proletariat! That'll wipe the smile off of their smug little faces!

The original comment was made by Hanover and it was regarding Agustino, not Buxtebudhha. The context was such that it was more appropriate than if Han...
December 04, 2017 at 23:57
Then we disagree, since I don't think that it's unacceptable to make such a claim in the first place. Although note that I reject the suggestion that ...
December 04, 2017 at 23:50
Not quite. The claim would be that someone has a questionable work ethic. If they didn't provide evidence, then the other person could respond to that...
December 04, 2017 at 23:25
No, that can be philosophy. Character is relevant to ethics, and ethics is a branch of philosophy. Philosophy doesn't have to be respectful to be phil...
December 04, 2017 at 17:46
Sure. We're like Kim Jong Un. Or Hitler. Why not? And you're like... Ché? Jesus?
December 04, 2017 at 17:19
Work ethics comes under ethics. Ethics comes under philosophy. It's therefore not out of bounds, given the context. Why should he refrain from saying ...
December 04, 2017 at 16:33
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with Hanover saying that you've got a questionable work ethic. Even if it's entirely ...
December 04, 2017 at 13:53
I wouldn't.
December 04, 2017 at 09:26
If you think that she didn't follow the guidelines, then you should have flagged it. You can still do so. Moderators are subject to the same guideline...
December 04, 2017 at 01:13
That's an erroneous inference. That pros and cons were not expressed does not entail that none of us could think up any. I just cut to the chase and v...
December 04, 2017 at 00:36
Beat me to the punch. I was just about to post that same snapshot.
December 04, 2017 at 00:07
Regardless of whether or not it was necessary, we obviously thought that it would be a good idea, and we obviously thought that it would be a good ide...
December 03, 2017 at 23:58
As predicted. Only an administrator can make someone a moderator, so it must have been either Baden or jamalrob. She was made a moderator because her ...

If by "ask", you mean "assassinate"...
December 03, 2017 at 19:32
Yes, I see that now. I didn't realise that that quote was taken out of context. I thought that that quote was the paragraph.
December 03, 2017 at 18:00
Since the 2008 financial crash, no one's politics, wherever they fall on the political spectrum, is supportive of banking and financial speculation. A...

Ah, that infamous moment when Bill Clinton revealed himself to be a Heideggerian.
December 03, 2017 at 01:37
I've genuinely just eaten all the little chocolates from my advent calendar. /uploads/resized/files/nt/ps346by6qh12wyod.jpg Gubmuh hab!

I'm saying that I did not have have sexual relations with that woman.
December 03, 2017 at 01:06
You're right. The test says you're on the left, so you simply must be on the left. All hail the test. After all, you say you're on the left... (And by...
December 03, 2017 at 01:00
Yeah, I know. Funny.
December 02, 2017 at 15:37
Based on what I've read from you recently, I don't think so.
December 02, 2017 at 15:34
This:
December 02, 2017 at 10:34
That's false. You did claim to be a kind of socialist. I distinctly remember it.
December 02, 2017 at 10:29
Probably. Cults of personality are never a good thing... unless you have a uniquely suitable personality like that of your Leader.
December 02, 2017 at 10:26
Your political views have changed for the worse. You used to be critical of big business and call yourself a socialist. Now you're a cheerleader for b...
December 02, 2017 at 10:17
Despicable.
December 02, 2017 at 10:11
That reply strikes me as evasive and pedantic. The paragraph contained a reference to potential victims based on their presence in the room. Are you g...
December 02, 2017 at 10:02
Where does morality come from? The potential of psychedelic drugs. I am God. Me too. What will Mueller discover? Mermaids aren't falsifiable. What is ...

Nah, youz jus jelly.
December 01, 2017 at 23:28
No it's not. See lesson 5.

These people could find themselves a place in society. They could go into politics. They could, for example, study philosophy, politics and economics ...

This follower has set a good example. The rest of you will take heed and fall in line. Dissent will not be tolerated.
December 01, 2017 at 00:29
You will change my name back when I order you to do so.
December 01, 2017 at 00:20
So, what do each of you think about your Leader? You will answer, and you will only say positive things about your Leader.
December 01, 2017 at 00:18
This is entirely serious. This is for the best. You will agree with what I have just said.
