Yup. Bad Camoo!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Too late, lol.  Sick Ricky spread his nasty seed everywhere and then vanished.  I guess the troll didn’t like getting trolled back.  They never do...🤔

The peener snake is deep in his hidey hole, at present. Give it a day or two. I'm sure he'll come back out to shout stupid shit at our faces again.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

"They found that when these plants are attacked by tobacco hornworm caterpillars, Manduca sexta, the caterpillars' saliva causes a chemical change in the GLV compounds the plants had produced. These modified compounds then attract predatory "true bugs," Geocoris, which prey on hornworm eggs and young larvae." (Science)

No consciousness needed in the loop.

Atheism and materialism go hand in hand but atheists forget that the matter like everything else in this universe is made of vibrations.

Yeah, the phrase "universe is made of vibrations" can mean any number of things, so until you specify exactly what you mean by this, I have no reason to believe your implied claim here, because it has no definite meaning. Words without definite meaning are what we call 'nonsense'.

Yeah, this is nothing more than a puree of pseudoscientific drivel. Equivocating one moment, making unsound inferences the next, it's all over the map. You need to be specific about what you're claiming or fuck off.

Being alive clearly means that consciousness is there so all your BS that chemical reactions cause things to happen is just a load of steaming dung.  Smile

Yeah, I have no fucking idea what you mean when you say that "Vibrations are alive" here. Until you can supply some definite, specific meaning to your words here, it's just meaningless crap. Nothing follows logically from meaningless crap. I suspect that you're back in the territory of your earlier claim that the universe is a mental projection of God. You backed off on that claim pretty fast once evidence was demanded. Chemical reactions are well understood material phenomenon. "Vibrations" are not. Define your terms or the only steaming pile of dung here is your vapid rhetoric.

In the meantime, nothing you've presented challenges the example of what ordinary people refer to when they talk of "chemicals" as playing the explanatory role that what you claimed was necessarily filled by what you referred to as "consciousness." If you're just playing a game of rotating definitions here, then your claims are nothing but meaningless equivocations. As I recall, the whole business of plants experiencing pain was brought up to support your idea that everything is conscious. So it seems you've argued full circle here, using the assumption that everything is conscious as evidence in support of the claim that everything is conscious. That's nothing more than begging the question. That's simply not how this works. Plants were pointed to as an example of something that is not conscious. You can't simply assume what you have set out to prove and use that as support for your claim.

Or maybe Karma lets you do anything you want after someone called your mum a whore. But according to his own dogma, he must deserve that happening to him, so why's he complaining? Oh yeah, he doesn't believe his own shit again. If he can't even believe it, how can he expect us to?

He hasn't addressed either of these points as far as I'm aware, and I've counted another -20,000 karma points from him insulting everyone.
