Cartoons, and your imagination. Nice!
But, yeah, Richard Dawkins is a joke. Him and his measly Doctor of Science degree from some obscure school called Oxford, and his stupid God Delusion book who no one, except for the 2 million people who've bought, even gives a shit about.
I still can't believe Oxford made Dawkins a public spokesman. And why numerous organizations are willing to pay this man $20,000 to speak is beyond me.
I'd much prefer someone like Pocahontas or Shrek!
Quote:Why, where do you get your knowledge?
Just a little place I like to call reality. Nothing that would interest you.
Quote:I've got more... get this one: you're incapable of making a joke. I'm waiting, my dear
Oh, you are an authority on humor? Cool! Can you provide a link to all your great, hilarious works? Or even some for that matter?
Quote:How do I warn you of something silent? You'll be dead before I have a chance to tell you to not breathe!
I was referring to the description itself, but let's not let a little thing like context ruin what has been an otherwise delightfully incoherent conversation.
Quote:Jigsaw's very straightforward with his tortures... I assure you: I can do better
To this I have no doubt.
Quote:You should try conference, everything's better in groups.
Like sex, and waffles!
Even in groups, conversations are much more fun and entertaining when people get inference.
Saves a lot of boring and unnecessary explanation.
Quote:I didn't say 'all of us', but rather: 'we'. Now, I could give you some bullshit about how there's a whole lot of people who agree with me... or I could teach you a quirk of the english language. But the latter sounds like a lot of work (can't teach the stupid, yknow?)... so I'm gonna feed you bullshit about how there's a whole lot of people who agree with me
I don't read or comprehend so well with my helmet on.
Quote:I'm the boss.
Boss, as in the final obstacle between the hero and the princess, right?
That sounds about right.
Quote:He's quite a valuable contributor to biology... he is quite not a valuable contributor to theology.
Translation: he doesn't promote what you like so he sucks.
Quote:Maybe my objection to him as such comes from watching him flub up his 'debates' horribly... but you're right: it's probably baseless.
Completely subjective observation, one poorly supported. The guy is so terrible they keep asking him to come back and keep paying him handsomely to do so.
On a related note: you don't hear about a lot of Atheist winning debates with Theists, and the reason for that is obvious: the vast majority of the world are Theists.
It's like trying to argue with a 4 year old about Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or the Fairy God Mother. It's just not the right time.
People used to believe in Zues. It would have been nearly impossible to win a debate opposing that belief during that period.
Now, any idiot could win that debate against someone of superior education.
It's all about timing, and now is not the right time.
Quote:I criticize religion as well as any other hooker you might find here... and I count atheists among my friends (the larger portion of them, even). But if their criticism is terrible, I'll be among the first to tell them so
Well, you have yet to make any such case here. You just don't find the material funny, which is fine.
Quote:His credentials impact his arguments... how?
He's an evolutionary biologist who opposes the views of creationists. Pretty obvious how his credentials impact his arguments.
You are right, it's the unintended humor that hits hardest.
Me thinks you need to think more.
Quote:I question his position as "a legitimate contributor" to theology because of his previous attempts at doing so, and nothing else.
The man wrote a book about god that sold 2 million copies. Any other theories?
Quote:The only thing 'wrong' with that quote is that it believes it's own knowledge to not be 'falsely called', introspection-lacking and all
People are so quick to excuse Christianity in areas where they would quickly condemn cults for doing the same thing.
This is definitely one of those areas.
