This Has to Stop

[Astonished]

I might have overstated delusions as their own class of mental illness but it's still an unhealthy state of mind and that's what the result of indoctrination is.

Overstatement (and its cousin, hyperbole, which you've copped to as well earlier in this thread) is really sloppy when it comes to communication. You should perhaps say what you mean the first time and then hopefully avoid all the misunderstandings. When you go off half-cocked like this and have to dial it back, you not only offend people with your original statements, you lose credibility when, like now, you have to back away from them after having your extreme language pointed out for the bullshit that it is.

Communication is difficult enough without having to figure out if you really mean what you say or are just trying to make a splash with over-the-top language.

And I didn't say believing in a god and that one knows its will makes a person a piece of shit, I said pretending (as in being pretentious) they know. That means they know better that there isn't really one and are just using it to further an agenda.

Well it's a good thing I didn't accuse you of any of that. Firstly, I don't think that people with mental disorders are pieces of shit. Secondly, I'm curious how you know what people really believe and what they pretend to believe. I mean, I get that sometimes it's easy to tell -- I'm looking at you, Ted Haggard -- but how do you know what someone else knows or believes outside obvious situations like that?

Like that fake-ass dickhead Ray Comfort. I'm on the fence about whether Ken Ham genuinely believes or is just pretending but he sure as hell isn't above using it to dupe those who believe likewise which is completely contrary to what he claims to believe in. Apparently jeebus was full of shit when he said the rich would have a hard time getting into heaven. But he's still a cunt for doing what he does.

Now we're getting somewhere. But do you think those guys are representative of the theist mindset, or simply preying upon it?

I wasn't replying to you with the second paragraph of my post, but to Losty; I just hate how complicated the damn quoting system is on here so I didn't use them. Wish it was more streamlined. But yes, I agree I should be more clear. When I get really passionate about something it sounds clearer in my head than when it comes out through my fingertips.

Comfort has been proven wrong to his face numerous times so he's definitely full of shit and just doing his shtick for the money. Ham is harder to read but he's still and opportunistic cocksucker regardless. So they're both giant dicks whether or not they genuinely buy their own bullshit. I just hate that they're preying on people, especially kids.
