Just curious, is all your knowledge based on cartoons? Don't take offense, just asking.

Don't you think you've had enough for one day?
Quote:I would consider weirdness a compliment... but considering that normality is so stupid: I consider my weirdness more as a worrying signal of homogeny.
Interesting theory.
Quote:Fairness is not involved, so I'm going to go with 'no'.
Fair enough..... Ooops!
Quote:No, I'm singing to you... I leave Ming to do the stalking.
Should I do the whole Simon Cowell thing, or do you prefer nice?
Quote:Lasers aren't focused! They're just concentrated. LIKE JUICE!
I see, so you are an overly literal figuratist, huh?
Quote:My arsehole says so, and it has a mind of it's own, so I'm not comfortable saying it's me saying it's so.
When people ask who farted, it often answers them with 'Me!', and then they look accusingly at ME, and I give them the look of 'Hey dawg, it wasn't me!', because it's my asshole. DUH!
Wow! Could you warn me next time? I like to have my food completely digested before having my imagination tortured by Jigsaw.
Quote:A hard one for you, isn't it?
Not at all. I'm just used to a crowd that get's inference. That's all.
Worry not, however, I'm adjusting as we speak.

Quote:But: I guess that's how you like it. I'm not judging you, we don't do that judgement thing here.
Why do I not feel as if you speak for the group? Again, don't be offended, just asking.
Quote:Just saying... nothing? Because that's what I got out of that. I might take nothing to mean that you're amending my statement that he's a biologist with 'evolutionary', but that doesn't impact my statement at all, so I'm left with nothing again.
Maybe I could take nothing to mean that there aren't a lot of evolutionary biologists in the world, but since there are I'm lost again. Maybe you would have been better served to recognize this little gem: Mister Dawkins writes books... just about every famous scientist either wrote a book, or was credited with an awesome discovery or ten that were well publicized, and therefore became famous. Some of them, like Edison, didn't make these discoveries themselves, and were just able to bully the others away from the credit... with acute application of money
Like I said, I'm adjusting as we speak...
Dawkins has all the background to make intelligent observations about a variety of subjects, not the least of which is religion and it's ridiculous claims.
Your objection to him as a valuable contributor to the subject is baseless, and probably reflects your disdain for him moreso than it does your actual opinion.
In short, me thinks you no likey people that criticize Christianity (or religion in general).
Was that clear enough?
Quote:Writing books helps, but why would I want to be a scientific celebrity? I could be a movie star, or I could be a porn star, or a cooking master... but we're left again asking: why would I want to be one of these?
I'm quite happy enough not being famous, regardless of how easily popularity comes to me. To be liked is better than to be known in my eyes, and hence I don't do any spectacular mass murderings of humans in a totally awesome manner . Are you suggesting I should start?
Not at all. I'm just suggesting that you might want to show a little respect for the man's credentials.
That doesn't mean that you should like or agree with him. It just simply means that it's ridiculous to question his position as a legitimate contributor to the subject matter.
Quote:The philosopher in me is indeed attracted to women... but I cannot seem to find a discussion here. Is it in another thread? Must be. I'm gonna go look over there for a while, maybe a discussion will start here when I get back...
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for any meaninful discussion to develop about Christianity. The nature of the beast (Christianity) is to suppress and discourage any believers from pursuing knowledge. Take it from a former member of the tribe.
No, on second thought, don't....
1 Timothy 6:20-21
O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted to you. Avoid the irreverent babble and contradictions of what is falsely called “knowledge,” for by professing it some have swerved from the faith. Grace be with you.
Nothing like sealing the covenant with propaganda. Have to admit, however, it works like a charm.

You'll have to introduce me to this secret panel of qualified and impartial judges.
