The brain

[LostLocke]

Ooh I recognise that avatar LostLocke. I've been considering buying the monster manual this month for a one-shot.

One of the newer MMs, isn't?
I still remember the Beholder from the days when it looked like a total derpy dufus.

I suppose you're finally over Once Upon A Time?

I'm ashamed to say I missed the last three seasons....

No need for shame.  I stopped watching it during the Peter Pan era.

I couldn't get past the first episode. For me it was too much of a stretch of reality. A bit like the superhero genre. Sure yeah give them the odd superpower but why do they have to wear such silly clothes? I could have perhaps got into Once Upon a Time if the fairy tale reality was far grimmer and more like medieval Europe or Game of Thrones.

[Drich]

It seems that Drich's only goal here is to try and accuse atheists of having faith.

If Drich is saying all atheists have faith on this subject, he is most certainly over-generalizing.  I used to believe in the brain-as-a-receiver-of-consciousness idea when I was studying mysticism, but a closer study of the science changed my mind on the topic.  I was especially influenced by sleep and dream researcher Dr. Allan Hobson's many books about how the chemistry of conscious states influences their perceived content.  The brain-as-receiver idea is entirely uneconomical and unnecessary, given what we now know from brain and consciousness studies.

glob...

I gave conclusive evidence that the brain is both a transmitter and a receiver.

THE ONLY Argument left is the brain remotely controlled.

I then ask if we can prove that it is then what would your beliefs about the after life then be?

NOW listen closely as you missed the first 5 times i said this..
IF... (do you understand "if") IF you go one business as usual or move to attack the messenger rather than properly refute the source message then... you do so as a matter of defending your faith.

Do you understand now?

I
AGAIN, IF I provide scientific evidence that the brain sends and receive a signal from a different place (call it, a different dimension call it heaven call it the matrix or whatever your twist is) and despite this hard scientific evidence that I could produce, you continue to believe as you do now despite the scientific proof provided... You do so as a matter of faith.

I feel like you;re not trying harder.

[Drich]

..............

Nope, you still need to try harder.

I am cleaning the floor with you chumps.. I got like 5 of you guys so butt hurt and broken they've been reduced to talking about a tv series, seems to me they don't even now if they are coming or going. If I tried any harder none of you would be able to sleep at night

[The Grand Nudger]

Oh, yeah...that;s absolutely what;s happened here in this thread.  You;re certainly not a credulous nutter with delusions of grandeur. Impossibru!

I hesitate to suggest that Drich had it in the first place, but I get the impression that he is actually losing it.

All he's done is post a youtube video and a clip of a remote controlled car that can be directed using brain waves and he now claims we're utterly butthurt and that he's cleaning the floor with us.

What I am seeing is complete indifference, hence the chat about a TV show after only a few pages. Drich, you used to be able to troll better than this. You used to be able to rile people up enough to bother with you. I understand it can be difficult coming up with new things all the time but standards must be maintained otherwise why bother?
