No Global Warming... 'cuz God promised!

[The Magic Pudding]

1. If only one in ten scientists believed global warming were a scam that would still be a very formidable number of scientists, so I maintain my position that this view is widely held.

But you're the one who said 10% of scientists believe that, not me. Hence why your point falls apart. There's a difference between factual discussion and make-believe.

Invent a percentage to maintain a position, then disown the percentage, how creative.

Bubble, bubble, trolls and trouble...

He'd make a fair enough politician doing that. Maybe a finance minister..?

Oh, are we all still here? The truth is Recusant I don't see much more point in trying to get my point across to you. I don't mean this to imply anything about you specifically; in fact if anything I am to blame because I have a tendency to opt out of discussions when people aren't being rational. So it was a good talk and I shake your hand, but goodbye.

The thing is, it doesn't appear that you actually have been trying to get your point across.  As well, your feeble attempt to portray me as irrational merely indicates that your real motivation in this thread has been to elicit some sort of reaction.  I don't shake hands with maladroit wannabe Enfant Provocateurs; you never know where their hands have been.

Plan of action for riling up the atheists:

1) Make an inflammatory unfounded assertion (aimed at scientists, no less *heeheehee*) on a topic which it's known that people can tend to get emotional about.

2) Proceed to make snarky dismissive remarks about any replies.

3) Invoke "widely held beliefs" as an authority.  (Remembering that atheists often run afoul of "widely held beliefs."  *snortle*)

4) Follow up with more snotty incoherent assertions.

5) Accuse your interlocutor of living in a fantasy world and poor fact management.  (They hate that!)

6) Finally, pretend that the other is guilty of irrational behavior and withdraw, dripping crocodile tears of regret.

So, basically, be a troll.

"Recusant is irrational"

I laughed out loud and spilled coffee all over myself.
