Evidence to Convict?

[Astonished]

This is also calling out a specific member, which I was going to report. Someone beat me to the punch, though.

I was thinking about this after. It was a shameful jab, which was both poor taste  and an unwise choice on my part.

Tizheruk I apologize for using your name in my example, for bringing things across threads, and theirs no excuse for taking a shot at you like this. I'm sorry.   I also apologize to Tazzy for the same in the other thread

For admins: if you want to change the post to remove the name (make generic), and the cheap shot, please do so. And if you want to leave it there, and I will own up to my poor actions.

Oh, go fuck yourself, you knew damn well what you were doing, prick. Hell, if you had asked me if you could have permission to use my name, I might have let you, since I already can't think any lower of you and so you stooping to personal attacks wouldn't faze me one bit.

If you perceive mockery and hostility, it's because your beliefs and way of looking at the world are ludicrous and deserving of mockery, and your stubborn refusal to see reason and acknowledge evidence (the definition, the hierarchy of what is considered that, the fact that evidence for any supernatural would have to be leaps and bounds beyond what we use for the natural) and still criticize us for being closed-minded or ignorant or biased or whatever, those are insults and we're simply responding in kind. You're hardly unique in espousing this mentality but your persistence and failure to do any self-reflection whatsoever (this phony-baloney retraction here is the first I recall seeing anything of the sort) shows your lack of respect for the opposition, so if you can't even meet us half-way, what do you expect?

There are no alternative facts. Religion does not get a special exemption of any kind for anything. It's flat wrong and if the powers behind them are indeed real, they should have the power to make this evident and indisputable. It's neither of those things. Get real and grow up, for your own sake.
