"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

We have argued all we can on the other thread. We have completely debunked all of Enrico's claims. He is the only one who doesn't recognise this. I think for everyone when I say that I don't want a repeat of that thread, so we derail it. Simples....

YepTongueBig Grin. By all means.

Arguing with enrico is an exercise in futility. I've tried logic. I ve tried debate. I've had better luck trying to persuade my cat not to shit on the carpet. Thus, I have indeed been reduced to taunting. Good fun it is too.

To quote Thomas paine, arguing with someone who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.
"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."

Damn my bologna sandwich was awesome
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I'm sorry, but when someone can say with a straight face that humans weren't made omnivorous in spite of the reams of evidence he's been presented with in other threads to the contrary, and provides nothing to back up that disagreement but actual mockery, what else is there to do?

Enrico's been here for a long damn time, and we've engaged him on a number of topics; a look back through his post history will be enough to see the pattern. He rocks up, makes outrageous claims with no justification, and then crows that, since we can't disprove them, he must be right and we must be idiots. When he's presented with evidence, he steamrolls over it with yet more outrageous assertions, and when called on that he simply asserts that it isn't important.

Arguing requires two people actively engaging in it, and enrico doesn't have the mental presence nor epistemic wherewithal to engage on any point. He's a shit and run troll who will not go away, and as such there's nothing to argue with. Just a self aggrandizing back-patting machine.

The best thing we can do is turn his mental leavings into some kind of fun. It's the only useful thing he's ever done.
