201. It's no wonder evangelical atheists need to shout so loud

Comment #238048 by Diacanu on August 27, 2008 at 2:30 pm

Myself-

Yes, we're all really lucky Richard is Richard, and not me.

If I were Richard, I'd've impaled one of these douchebags in the ass with a trident, screaming "I gotcha strident right here, mothafokka!!!!", and been in jail.

Oh, okay, not really.

I'd just chase 'em with the trident for a couple yards to get them running, and away from me.

But I'd want them to THINK I'd use it.

They wonder, for example, where the first gene, selfish or not, came from. Or, if it came from the soup, where did the soup come from? Or the universe as a whole?

Well, don't look for religion to answer any of those.
"Goddidit", doesn't cut it as any sort of real answer.

The problem, however, is that some people find raising the question, even if they don't know the answer, a meaningful act.

Raising a question you don't know an answer to, and then searching for the answer is meaningful.

Raising a question you don't know the answer to, and thinking there's something magical about navel gazing on your ignorance is just retarded.

Wonder is something enlightened atheists never could abide.

Blow it out your ass.

ColdFusionLazarus-

"bimbo" is generally regarded as an offensive term for a woman is unintelligent.

I never heard it was an un-pc or "offensive", term.
I never got the memo on that.

Like I said further upthread, I call shallow males himbos/mimbos.
I'm equal opportunity on that one.

I accept that you may want to call someone unintelligent, but the fact that TWP is a woman just shouldn't come in to it.

I don't see that it does.
I think that's baggage you're piling onto it.
Would you prefer i just call her an insipid dummy?
I mean, it's more descriptive, but it's actually harsher.
Harsher than I have use for.
I choose my words with precision.

On a personal note, I may not agree too much with some of the recent comments of TWP, but I generally think she is an intelligent contributor to this site.

Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I found today's comments morally foul, and indicative of the person I sized up from the start.

Steve Zara-

This thread has certainly lifted some metaphorical rocks and found some horrors crawling underneath.

I don't recall feeling so down about a site for quite some time. There I go with those damned feelings again!

I love a good argument, even when it gets intense, but I am not going to hang around and be patronised by people like Fanusi and TWP. It may be foolish to have self-respect, but I deserve better than that, and don't have to put up with it.

So, I'll shut up for a while. I'm off on holiday soon anyway, and am going to try and resist the temptation to take a laptop... I will be contactable by PM or e-mail if anyone feels the need....

As they say, if you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen...

Aw, goddammit, Steve...

Well,...that does it, Fanusi and TWP are on my shit list now.

I tried to tolerate you simpletons, and look what it got me.
A ruined board.

Shit.

Fanusi-

Diacanu, I find it interesting that you can somehow convince yourself that a point-by-point (there were two of them) dismemberment..

Well, that's patting your own ego a bit much, isn't it?
Why not let others decide if it was a "dismemberment"?
If it was, it can speak for itself.

If it was, worst case scenario, I have to choose more precise labeling for your particular brand of casual indifferent barbarity.

No sweat off my ass.

of your idiotic insult

Again, your opinion.
Others may find it apt.

is just 'nitpicking'. Words have an exact meeting. If not, if I can be 'nationalist' while advocating internationalism, well, then I can say your a car-thief without having ever stolen cars. Hmmmm?

Again, see above, if in fact, you're not a fascist, then you're some other flavor if ignorant barbarian, so I don't exactly apologize by retracting, if in fact retracting is what I need to do.

Oh, and as regars that 'jackboot' comment - could you please keep your strange fanatsies about me to yourself?

No, I can't.
You're that hot.
I'm transmitting swarms of invisible flying penises from my brain into your mouth right now.
And there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Muuahahaha!!

It's very nice to hear it in public and, again, there are ladies present.

I think they can handle it.
Nice condescending insult to femininity there.

But, you're a dumb barbarian after all, you can't help what you are.
May as well get personally upset at a bear.

I don't know whether you have all noticed, but we're on a chat-board. What on earth makes you think that your ill-mannered swears mean anything to me?

It meant enough for you to sneer down on.
If this board were completely meaningless to you, you wouldn't post here.

Bonzai-

I don't think so. You don't get in jail for just being a Muslim, or even believing in Jihad. In the scenario we are talking about you end up there because your belief has made you commit mass murder.

Oh, well, rip their flesh off, and make their kids watch then.

Come on. *rolls eyes*

Now I don't see anything chilling to make you give up that belief.

Okay, so by any means necessary then?
Or, do you draw a line?
And if so, where and why?

Would you find it "chilling" that convicted Nazi war criminals were forced to undergo deNazification?

Were they de-nazified by being fed piss-soup in a swastika bowl?
Y'know, aversion therapy.
Perfectly rational.

Comment #236278 by Diacanu on August 24, 2008 at 12:35 pm

Bonzai-

The point is both prohibition of pork and the prohibition of the depiction of Muhammad are taboos that stem from the same religious teaching and are equally stupid (or "trivial" as someone said earlier)

Yes, both resemble each other in being stupid, but apples and oranges resemble each other in being fruits.

If you can't see the differences involved between the consumption of foods, and of information, then I guess there's no communication possible on this issue.

You are being inconsistent while you gladly thumb your nose at one and treat the other as some kind of sacred cow.

Point out where I was inconsistent, and what I made a sacred cow.
If the above was your best argument for that, then I'm in good shape.

While you say "this is not the same", you are making a judgment from your stand point,

Don't we all?

not that of a Muslim. What do you say to those who do think having Mohammad's cartoon shown around is deeply offensive to them like putting their deceased grandfathers' corpse on public display? You don't have to be forced to see it to feel deeply hurt.

*Shrug* fuck 'em.

And as for my grandfather, he's as atheist as I am, he doesn't give a shit if when he dies, we sell his carcass to Alpo.

So, barking up the wrong tree trying to get me to knee-jerk empathize with that particular taboo.

Comment #236255 by Diacanu on August 24, 2008 at 12:06 pm

Bonzai-

Is it any more of a torture than denying a drug addict a fix in prison?

Totured analogy.
(Forgive the pun)

The only reason that a convicted jihadist would think that pork is a torture is his stupid belief,

Yes, it is stupid.
But it's there.
It's dictated their preference, but in the end, It's no less real to them than a person's peanut allergy is to them.

which he chose voluntarily.

Yes, he did, but now the mental virus is there.
and that virus gives him a sort of mental/cyber allergy, and fucking with that allergy is torture.

It is like you smoke crack voluntarily and then get hooked. Being fed pork would cease to be a torture
if he stops his nonsensical beliefs,

Well, that's a chilling comment.
That's a heartbeat away form "the torture will stop when you forsake your heresy".

And by your logic, how is showing Muhammad's face in disrespectful cartoons and broadcast them around not a "torture"?

Give me a physical fucking break, would you?

They're not in prison having the newspapers thrust on them, and they don't have biological impulse to eat the fucking newspapers that they have to fight off, or give in to.

They don't like the cartoons, don't read that paper.

See my post 190.

For jesus christ sake let me re-phrase this for all of you jihad terrorist human rights activist out there:

Fuck off with that particular slice of rhetoric.

I heard it enough from the flag waving cro-magnons I came here to get away from, I'm not going to put up with it here.

Why sadistic revenge for a jihad terrorist is something to whine about?

Because revenge is bullshit.
Revenge doesn't belong in a civilized society.
Revenge isn't justice.
Justice is the code of a civil society.
You want a society founded in revenge, go live on a Lord Of The Flies island.
You tedious, and excruciating fucking bimbo.

Fanusi-

I was talking about the fact that 'feelings' mean zip when it comes to finding the truth.

Oh, bullshit.
It's the passion for truth that drives the quest for it.

You see what I'm driving at?

Yes, and you construct the point badly, and apply it sloppily.

Emotions are great, they're why life's worth living, but they must be coupled to reason.

No shit.

And the profound thinkers are always profoundly passionate. Read Aristotle. Read Darwin. Read a biography of Einstein. Read Michael Collins, where he describes what it was like to see the continents fly past as he orbited the earth. These men were and are all profoundly passionate - and profoundly rational.

Well, I hope you're not comparing yourself to them.

As for the porkchop thing, y'know, I might've found that idea funny fresh after 9/11, when I had a good couple gallons of hate and fear in my heart, but it's been 7 fucking years, I've dealt with it, I've grown and matured.

And now, the 2008 model Diacanu says, fucking with people's food? Grow up, people, it's fucking torture.

Whatever the psychology of the people, no matter how irrational one finds islam, or vegetarianism, or whatever, you may as well be feeding them shit.

And if feeding someone shit is torture, then sure as fuck a porkchop to a muslim is.

I hate islam, but I sure a shell won't stoop to what amounts to shoving a turd in a muslim's gob.

If you become what you hate, what right do you have to hate evil?

I'm so sick of America's reaction boiling down not to morality, but in-group out-group.

Oh, we'll be the same kind of assholes, but we hate them because of their eating habits, and funny hats.
Fuck you, that's not the America I signed on for.
Or, maybe it is, and I didn't read the fine print.

(Continuing from 373)

I actually threw that one at a christian once who thought that was a stupid argument.

"Well of COURSE they heard of Jesus first, how else would they recognize him?", was the gist of his reasoning.

Stupid? I think it would be pretty fucking impressive if Jesus introduced himself to some native on some island that've never seen hide nor hair of christianity.

Would sure lend credence to the dude being out there, instead of inside people's heads who've already heard the story for him to be crawling around in there along with Spiderman, and Cap'N Crunch.

Meh, he refused to see the logic,and went on the personal attack, and he got away in a smokescreen like they always do.

whereas faith derives from personal revelation, or belief in the words of those claiming such revelation.

And the revelations come from the belief in the words of those claiming revelation.
