No, no. That's just a myth. I prefer the one about the Minotaur. ;) This is very funny stuff, Wosret.

So, being an atheist in combination with being a scientific realist makes one a fundamentalist atheist? I don't think so. The philosophical debate of ...

Ad hominem followed by straw man. Nice contribution to the discussion.
November 05, 2016 at 09:57
Is this not a double standard? If science has 'no jurisdiction' when it comes to religion, then why is it okay for religion to stick it's oar in on sc...

What was it that Brainglitch said? Ah yes, "one of the most common ways to deal with cognitive dissonance is to ignore questions that cause it". Why, ...

/uploads/resized/files/s9/xlzcmjmsqn4dn2xm.png So close now. :o I blame Clinton for fucking up, and Comey for fucking her over.

If he is anything like Erik said (in his post which has since been deleted), then that is nothing to shout about.

>:O

What? ;) I mean, yes. I speak it big league. And if you don't, you won't get passed the wall.
November 04, 2016 at 12:04
Well, if you plan on posting here, please: one full stop is sufficient. I don't want to keep editing your posts.
November 04, 2016 at 11:48
You know, when you don't quote comments via the more convenient 'highlight and quote button' method, the person you're quoting won't automatically be ...
November 04, 2016 at 11:46
Well, as I have said before, the devil is in the details. It will depend, will it not, on the particular conception of God or divine intelligence that...
November 04, 2016 at 11:10
I read that as: my preferred notion of God is one in which science has no say!
November 04, 2016 at 11:05
So, you have changed your mind? If not, I find that odd, and would ask that you please explain that part of your quote where you appeared to do just t...
November 04, 2016 at 10:45
That is quite a remarkable claim right there. (As well as a straw man, as Brainglitch noted, and which you have presumably conceded). Are you seriousl...

November 04, 2016 at 09:47
Yeah. Same ol' jeeprs, same ol' fallacies, eh? This part in particular. I mean, what is your point? You take the time and effort to go into detail on ...

I don't have a sweetheart. And what's a vagina? If it isn't something to do with videogames, then I don't care.
November 03, 2016 at 14:13
Hah! Here we go again. This is a battle you cannot win. Bringing up lying is a losing strategy for any Trump supporter. At least in terms of the facts...

Theresa May would suddenly look like a saint.
November 03, 2016 at 13:38
https://youtu.be/eKgPY1adc0A >:O Thank you for reminding me of this. Who will (or would) be worse, Trump or Bush? The Republican party does have a tal...
November 03, 2016 at 13:30
Based on policy, she is the better candidate. Sure, Trump with his Second Amendment nonsense, for example, might appeal to you more, but what Clinton ...

And how does likely death by explosion compare to green?
November 03, 2016 at 13:09
Erm... dunno, to be honest. Would have to look it up.
November 03, 2016 at 13:06
You mean greener grass. X-)
November 03, 2016 at 13:04
But... the mine field. /uploads/resized/files/79/88e7v3synbzrer58.png (Need that raised eyebrow smiley. Must add to the top of the list of feature req...

November 03, 2016 at 12:55
Yes, there is a way out. But it is through a mine field.
November 03, 2016 at 12:53
I sometimes make serious points and criticisms through the use of irony, or in amongst what might appear to the less discerning reader to be just a jo...
November 03, 2016 at 00:22
How about instead of pointing something out, I thumb it out, like politicians are wont to do? Would that be better? The only part of my comment that i...
November 02, 2016 at 23:43
I did say "might"... One can have an element of openness whilst maintaining an appropriate degree of scepticism; remain open whilst being critical; an...
November 02, 2016 at 22:20
See. I knew you wouldn't be consistent. You reject my claim in disbelief, but not Colin's. Yet, what is it that differentiates them? Funny how your op...
November 02, 2016 at 21:36
No. I don't think that you are gifted with godlike abilities like I am.
November 02, 2016 at 21:29
Blasphemy! Relax, it was tongue-in-cheek. (And obviously went over your head).
November 02, 2016 at 21:23
Ah, Comey, I see that you have chosen to finally reveal your true identity. Of course, I knew it all along, and was merely playing along. You should i...

Praying for his soul?
November 02, 2016 at 20:43
Is that Donally Trumpton or Hilald Clint?
November 02, 2016 at 20:20
There's a difference between getting it and being uncritical. How do you know I'm not God appearing to you in the form of someone who doesn't just lap...
November 02, 2016 at 20:11
OKAY. You should vote for Mrs. William 'the Conquerer' Clinton.
November 02, 2016 at 19:58
A frog?

/uploads/resized/files/9u/a0cqxgkplrltziaw.jpg Ah, I see. So, given that he hasn't been convicted, climate change is a political football, and you fee...
November 02, 2016 at 16:11
The answer is actually very straightforward: people can be unreasonable.
November 02, 2016 at 15:26
So, just a feeling and an abstract concept. Weak. Very weak. And from this alone, Colin is certain that he has had an experience of God, as opposed to...
November 02, 2016 at 15:16
Actually, like Heister Eggcart noted in the comment just before yours, there are some of us here who do doubt that, on account of him being a suspecte...
November 02, 2016 at 15:03
How are you distinguishing between spiritual and empirical? And how is this distinction relevant? If God can be experienced, isn't God empirical by de...
November 02, 2016 at 02:03
This one is interesting, because even if true, it doesn't redeem Trump in any way. It damns him as well as many others. That's fine with me. And why h...
November 02, 2016 at 00:45
I brought this up as well, but it didn't get addressed. I first brought it up in my reply to Hanover on page 6: And then I brought it up again in the ...

>:O Of course his belief is up for discussion. If he didn't want it discussed, then he shouldn't have created this discussion. You may notice that muc...
November 01, 2016 at 23:23
That isn't what I said. What does that even mean? He has made his judgement, and his judgement is a matter up for discussion. We are all entitled to a...
