You are the one calling me a sophist, so you should know what sophistry is, I mean, the argumentation sophists use? Derp?

As to the irony... yeah my irony meter has blown 2 pages ago.

RE: Disturbed Theist Calls The Atheist Experience
They aren't insults, I am discerning your character. You are a selfish person. You have never died to self. You don't love truth. You are a coffee table philosopher. You would not die for what you believe.

I am telling you this as a blessing, because you can change. You don't have to be a coffee table philosopher. You can feel what I feel all the time, my whole being and everything that I am directed towards truth, literally nothing could stop me or have any sort of power to constrain my actions. This is not who you are.

I am not saying this to insult you, to give you a glimpse of what I have, which is not coffee table philosophy, it is the spirit of Jesus Christ, who was a true philosopher and man of truth, in fact, is the truth. I don't say this to boast, I say this to discern your character, to tell you what you are not, you are not a spiritual person, you have not died to self, you have not spent years and years of your life conquering your vices and trying to live virtuous. You don't care too much about these things.

I am trying to bless you, I could care less about pleasantries. I'm sure we would get along well enough in life. I'm sure you have interesting ideas and maybe you have a higher IQ than I do. I could care less. I care about your soul. You are a carnal human being. That is why you respond the way that you do. Your mind is corrupted by pride.

Either you will listen or not, it is not a insult, it is discernment, I am not pretending to be something to get your attention, I have been called by God personally by miracles and supernatural signs to show love and kindness to you, which I am doing.

This is my love and kindness to you. The message. Like I said, perhaps you have a higher IQ than me. IQ is an important thing to have. This is not about that, it is the way that you respond, your insults, your juvenile behavior, you are spiritually hurting, this is why I come on this board, not to insult, to instruct people in the way that has been revealed to me by the supernatural testimony of the Holy Spirit.

It is ok to insult people maliciously but it is not ok to edify them? Is that the sort of "philosopher" that you are?

I don't know what you are on about, but I call a spade, precisely that, a spade.

Apparently, love means never having to say anything nice.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Here's the problem: you don't love truth either. You've just decided that you're in possession of it. And as such, you've closed your mind to the possibility that you might be wrong on any point. If anyone's not a philosopher here, it's you; philosophers actually care about the real truth, but you can't release your deathgrip on the ideas you've chosen to accept. You're not open to anything that doesn't confirm your preconceptions.
