Filanthropod

Quote from: "karadan"
Quote from: "Filanthropod"Come on, please, they're hardly rebuttals.

Then you haven't actually read anything anyone has posted. Everything you've said thus far has been thoroughly owned, for want of a better word. You've simply resorted to performing the literary equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears whilst singing lalalalalalala. A usual creationist 'tactic'.

With that last sentence you've given up the right to complain about someone making assumptions about atheists. Atheists are evil, you know.

It's like you are trying to get banned....

It wasn't a complaint, merely an observation. By all means, go over the thread again and try to understand what people are saying to you and then clearly explain your position. I'll be more than happy to retract my statement.

So far all you've done is essentially say, i'm right, you're wrong.

Oh, and of course atheists are all evil!! That's why we all eat babies for breakfast.  :devil:

Quote from: "Whitney"It's like I'm crying out for an excuse to get theists banned....

It's like you missed the irony. I'll spell it out, it's obviously a tricky one. I don't really think atheists are evil, I'm merely pointing out to that person that by saying "a usual creationist tactic", they have given up their right to moan about people making assumptions about atheists.

Not nice when the boot's on the other foot, eh?


Karadan, yes, atheists really do eat babies for breakfast. See how we're having such a friendly laugh and a joke. Atheists are evil, theists are stupid, what a wonderful world. It's great to not have a humour bypass, unlike some.

Quote from: "Filanthropod"A person's philosophy is entirely subjective, and to a large extent it determines their deeply held premises about the universe.

Since you opened with this, I'm wondering what you're using to support this assertion...

Well?
That's what your mom said.

karadan

Smileys and emoticons definitely help.

Quote from: "Filanthropod"Again, missing the point in spectacular fashion. I wan't talking about that kind of experience, the kind that you simulate in a lab. You're being facetious. Please don't twist my words, you know exactly what I was talking about. Or maybe you don't have the first clue.

I see.  Since the experience is produced by science, you feel free to ignore it.  I wasn't twisting your words, I was explaining their relationship to you, because you obviously lack the first clue as to what science really is:  organized observation.

I know, people must be bored today.  This person has already been exposed as a sock puppet and is being an ass all over the board - obvious troll is obvious.

Nor does he realize that only theists who can't discuss like a normal person have trouble here....JoeActor and other rational theists get along at HAF just fine.

Damn right. Jerome at RDF is an example of a perfectly polite person who happens to be a theist, we see eye to eye on 99% of pretty much everything and we discuss the remaining 1% with care.

The trouble is, no one has any obligation to discuss things in the way you want them to. Everyone is different, get used to it.

I think he has learned now that they DO have an obligation to discuss things the way WE want them to if they choose to participate on HAF.

I do not like attack trolls who do nothing but bitch about how the forum is run since day one of joining then do their best to be a big of a jerk as possible and wonder why they get banned.
