Medical Hope for "Brain Dead"

[Edwardo Piet]

Obviously this is just a baby step, but it at least give hope for families with loved ones in a permanent vegetative state.

Your supposition is a bit like saying you can cure a man's impotence by successfully setting his broken arm.

But then again this is the level you've set for yourself, deliberate mendacity in the service of your imaginary friend.

You learnt something today. Ain't that a good thing?

It's Wooters, when was the last time he allowed the truth to derail his lying for jesus?

You guys are kind of proving his point, to be honest...

How? By pointing out his lies?

If you cannot criticise somebody for lying, then how is anybody ever going to learn anything?

With all due respect... if only because you're a fantastic poster (one of my favorites on AF in fact!)... I wouldn't call him a liar. He often comes across as disingenuous but I wouldn't say he's necessarily an all out liar at all.

I tend to always refrain from calling people liars without evidence. Neo says things that are untrue B.S. all the time. Do I think he necessarily doesn't believe the shit he says? I'm not so sure. I can't really sincerely claim him to be a liar without feeling like I need evidence that he doesn't believe his own B.S. And how could I get evidence of that? Believing ridiculous shit when you're a theist is at least as likely, if not more likely, than not really believing it but lying about it. How the hell would I know what he 'really believes'?

Or maybe he doesn't believe it but he believes he believes it. Belief in Belief basically. But still... not exactly lying.
