It simply is not possible to put considerations as complex as those of describing the defeasibility of extant Scriptural mistaken notions of Deity, and, of describing mistaken notions employed by current American jurisprudence, which mistaken juristic notions are based on the mistaken notions entertained by biblical Deity, wherein both Deity and Man mistakenly presuppose that written language of law is somehow determinative of human action ! Occam\'s razor cannot possibly apply here. Stripping these considerations down to the bone would make it absolutely impossible for me to impart that which I am severally describing via employing contemporary negative intellectual instruments, which instruments actually are simple, but radically unfamiliar and abstract...You do not have to read Spinoza's entire works to reflect upon his dictum; which both Hegel and Sartre employ in extensio, i.e., "All determination is negation."

This is my next copypasta. Witness me.
On a more serious note. Simplicity makes your thoughts accessible. You can start with formatting your text in a way that is easy on the eyes of us mortals.
Like this, see? I press enter and my text gets neatly sent one line away, isolated from the rest and reflecting that I am developing my point further.
Then, there is the vocabulary issue. I, too, have struggled to reduce my exquisitely refined usage of latinate terms in an effort to appeal to the common plebeian on the street. /s
Simplicity makes you look like you know what you are talking about, and it's appropriate for a public forum where only few people have academic understanding of philosophy and theology. I appreciate the need for a thorough and even academically accurate analysis of the topic, but this is hardly the place for that kind of discussion. An internet forum is a casual venue, you're wasting time, both yours and ours.
Ps: quotes still messed up. I guess your brain is too busy handling complex vocabulary to learn simple BBCode. You trolly troll.
Or, as we say in Italy, "Speak the way you eat"
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
