But nice try to turn my responses into motivated by anti-intellectualism or money or Protestantism. Your issue with me is that I'm not willing to let you be the authority that you want to be, that mentally you need to be.
Have you noticed that you don't participate in any threads that are not about philosophy or religion? Or if you do, you derail them into philosophy or religion. Then proceed to try to run and direct the conversation. This is classic self absorption. So go ahead and increase your pleasure to the exclusion of others. I understand you think it's all about you.
I am just as dismissive of Bels BS as you are, yet neither am i american, puritan, protestant, anti-intellectual, obsessed with money or any other BS he claims about his adversaries . Hope you had fun writing all thatdown, Bel.
Its quite amusing to see the lengths he went to set up an ad hom and poison the well (fuck you Bel for that pathetic attempt). As far as i am concerned he can stick to his pet version of special pleading as long as he wants. In fact one day maybe we indeed will find an "uncaused cause", but until that day i remain sceptical. However painting himself as some kind of intellectually superior because he is less sceptical and more gullible than anyone else, well Bel does Bel: Thinking that name dropping(s) like "Aquinas!" or "Aristotle!" would leave a lasting impression on anyone here, at least the kinda impression Bel thinks of.
