Re: What About Dignity?

I think we should start a drinking game - every time Egor complains that he's going to get banned, even though no one is threatening to ban him, we all take a shot.

Ye I like this, I don't understand those drinking games where the fool is rewarded, it's un, it's un, it's unsustainable.

It very vaguely reminds me of the prostelization trick where the believer starts out by asking the nonbeliever if they have ever murdered, stolen, etc until they finally get to the one "deadly sin" everyone has to answer in the affirmative "lie" and then use that to twist a shaky proof about how all humans are sinners in need of salvation through christ.

Sooooo, I guess if they admit to the murdering bit, they can skip right to needing Jesus?

either that or run away quickly.

Not if they're part of a religious corporation apparently. Then it's god's law that's in place, and they're the authorities on what god's law is! Isn't that fantastic?

Brilliant business, churches are.

I got asked that once. Answered with "Ocasionally, it's been known to happen"... Got a fantastically long and boring lecture about salvation, hell and how the only true soldiers were those of the christ (Templars..? o.O )

I suppose she assumed I was in or ex military or some such, possibly a gangbanger, although those are uncommon here

Late to the party again.

I base my dignity on my Santa hat.

I base my dignity on my Santa hat.

And very fetching it is to!

Damn that's cool, and sort of spooky at the same time, kind of like The Residents.

Dadaist dignity?

The fact that most people either praise him, ignore him, or are up to something else (other religions), rather than spending most of their days seething with anger at his cruelty is rather gracious and dignified of the bulk of humanity.   

I don't know what planet you're living on if you can really look at this world full of people and see a lot of dignity.

Hello Egor, your question was very dull, uninformed, and revealed your ignorance. Why then do I respond? Why do you even these boring questions?

First of all I never believed so cannot start "believing again"

Your argument is that dignity comes from god; no god equals no dignity. Your argument is silly. Dignity does not come from god. 

Just saying things does not make them true. I realize that my response attacks you personally, in that I called you silly etc.

"You are silly" would be a mild personal attack
"Your argument is silly." Is not a personal attack as it refers to the argument not the person.
