..or, is it like plutonium?

You can dig the uranium out of the ground, but you have to jigger it into the high-octane stuff?

Steve Zara-

I'm confused. Are you saying that there are moral "truths" that will be found by any sentient creature, like mathematical truths?

Hmm, seems to me, if a truth like that were out there, we could randomly stumble onto it like a coal miner finding uranium.

Then, having found it, it would've been jotted down in a book.

Hmm, ain't that what theists argue has already happened?

Fanusi-

Yeah, we know why you're worried.

You keep telling us.

That's not the thing people are hung up on.

It's that you're a little crypto-Nazi.

Laurie-

D'oh!
sorry, I deleted my post you responded to.
I thought Broshiesq said the point I made more succinctly, so I found my post superfluous.

That'll teach me to keep all my posts up, even the crummy ones.

Yes experience could be a valuable thing. But it could also be a bad thing.

Like hookers and rental cars.

robotaholic-

So I suppose you're asking for one good reason to vote for the republican ticket- is that the question you're asking me?

Nope, I'm saying fucking either.

I'm a cynical fuck when it comes to politics, shine some rays of hope on my frozen heart.

Dazzle me.

aheggie-

They have no real arguments, they'll never have evidence, and they know it, so they're trying to play a sort of rope-a-dope by slowing us down with their bullshit.

Diacanu, that has to be one of the funniest lines I've read in ages. What would we do without you?

Aw, shucks. :)
I'm honored to have entertained such a luminous presence on this site. :D

GoodbyeGodNZ-

I think this is the perfect high profile situtation for Richard, Dan, Sam, Christopher, Bill Maher, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and every other prominent name for our cause to send in the scud missiles via all aspects of the media

Nah, a Scud missle makes it sound a little too easy.

I more imagine them crossing the streams with their Green Lantern rings, and pushing with all their will to bore a hole in the ID bull.

phasmigigas-

but those who i see here seem to revel in their apparent stupidity.

Because for them, it's not smart philosophy vs. dumb philosophy, it's happy philosophy vs. sad philosophy.

You hear it in David Robertson's rhetoric all the time, you hear it in Dinesh D'sousa's rhetoric, you hear it everywhere.

Basically, the position boils down to "if smart makes ya sad, it must be dumb!".

And then, not happy with that, they pile on "oh, and in case you were actually considering weighing the two, here's why atheism is sad, sad, saad".

And then that reason boils down to "no fluffy cloud land when ya die!".

It's all emotions with these people.

It's like that Stephen Colbert line "I don't tell the news to you, I FEEL it AT you!!".

zoomlines-

Do you keep an open mind just so you can say "I told you so" for any future discoveries?

Sounds fun, let's try it out.

I believe solid holograms can/will be made with light in the infra-green spectrum.

Hey, hey, don't close your mind to the possibility, that's intolerant.

Open your mind.

Let the idea sliiiide in.
Iiiin and oooutt.
Iiiin and oooutt.
Slow at first, then fast..then slooow, fast again.....

And now I withdraw the idea, and dangle it before you, making you beg for more.

Man, that sure is some good science, ain't it?

J Mac-

your post was complete nonsense.

Well, that's Shrommer for you.

Y'know, in my Deist phase, I probably would've fought for a fuzzy watered down version of ID.
In fact, I think I probably did.

And, I would've been stunned and hurt when people pissed on the idea, and called me a fool.

Buut, I don't see a way of mitigating that, even with my experiences.

So, screw it.

Shrommer, I piss on ID, and you're a fool.

Go read some books.
And take the Jesus glasses off when you do.
He's an imaginary friend.
You don't read magazines with Superman talking to ya do you?

Fanusi khiyal-

Alan, JMac I rest my case. Or, if this is really just a matter of 'joking',

Well, let's wait and see if I really beat you with a pipe.

*Jeopardy theme plays*

*Several minutes pass*

Ope, guess I managed to contain myself.
And I guess you missed my point.
There's a stunner.

then here's mine: Let Diacanu be banned, thus raising both the level of discoure and average IQ on these boards. Ho-ho.

Now you can either laugh at that, or decline to do so, proving my point that there are two sets of rules in operation here.

Stop crying, Susan, you'll ruin your angora sweater.

Fanusi-

when someone says that there are no moral absolutes, they are rejecting morality as such.

You haven't heard a damn thing anyone has said!

Then you go on to whine about your little temper?
I'm about to beat you with a fuckin pipe!
Kee-RIST!

You've been a sanctimonious hothead all along!
You either have no self awareness, or a distorted funhouse mirror of one.

Nope, it was Nairb's fault.

Probably something you did.

J Mac-

though a bit harsh as stated.

Well, he's a poisonous little man, what can ya do?

And he's not ignorant, he knows the nasty business he's up to, and rationalizes it to himself.

Therefore, he is stupid.

Mitchell Gilks-

For a guy that acts like he is so considerate to people, and the world, you would think he would try to be a hell of a lot more concise. Doesn't he realize how much time he wastes, both typing those exhaustively long winded posts, and the potential time of anyone crazy enough to actually read them?

I called him on that back when I tried to be nice to him, he didn't listen.
He thinks anything he says is so fuckin' important, he simply can't reign it in.

Another fevered ego tainting the collective subconscious.

Pot, kettle.

That all you got?
How dull.
You've left me listless.

MPhil-

Here's a metaphysical quandary you could possibly help me with.

Fanusi is full of himself.

Fanusi ain't shit.

Fanusi is however, full of shit.

If Fanusi is full of himself, and, he's full of shit, then by transitive property, Fanusi is shit.

But, Fanusi ain't shit.

So, how can Fanusi simultaneously be shit, and not shit?

Please help.

It merely makes one look self-righteous and foolish,

Like calling anyone with a car a friend of Bin-Laden, then offering no alternative but more fucking bicycle paths?

And say, what are those sex-robots of yours going to be powered by? Wind?

Comment #239501 by Diacanu on August 29, 2008 at 6:40 pm

Oh, and Tera, stop acting like you're the vanguard/guardian/arbiter of logic.

You're not.

Logic isn't trying to (literally) be Mr. Spock like you do.

That's just swinging the pendulum to the opposite extreme of anti-rationalist fundies.

It's the other side of the same coin.
You haven't changed.

Teratornis-

I lacked the indoctrination to get sucked in by some other religion which might have been OK with evolution.

Nah, but you're a dogmatist for your radical environmentalist agenda, and I've seen you be as much as an inflexible, petty, capricious weasel for that, as fundies get for their Jesus shit.

Hmm, must be a personality type thing.
