1. Not an isolate organism, but an isolated organ. And by off-line I mean from a specific functional system. Vestigial organs are isolated from whatever function they used to have. They're off-line, and that's probably why they persist.
Provide an example of such an isolated organ anywhere. You can't. It is a baseless claim.

Right, you are unable to see what you are actively attempting. Your myopia is not my problem. It's yours alone. I can't help you with that. Nobody can. If you chose to believe in a spooky, beardy bloke in the sky on the basis of fuck all evidence, nobody can stop you.No one here can prevent you believing in Santa. Sure, I know you god botherers resent the Santa analogy big time, I get that..............But both god and Santa are watching you 24/7, yes or no? And both are judging you, Yes or no? And so forth.

The problem is not with the analogy, nor with the obvious equivalence, not at all. Your actual problem is that you recognise that they are no different. This realisation makes you feeluncomfortable.  ~Right now this minute you are fumbling to make excuses for the immoral tenets of your faith. You are bound by some sort of fucked up duty to do so. Weirdly you don't see it.

As long as Grandizer understood what I meant by "catching up" or the "game" then I'm good. You clearly aren't doing a good job of keeping up, and are just stepping in out the blue.
You want a private conversation with Grandizer? Fine. But this is a public forum, not a venue to isolate (or attempt to do so). Kindly fuck right off with that abject nonsense.

Yeah, it's the towering arrogance that pisses me off.
