The One Thing the Atheist Misunderstands
RE: The One Thing the Atheist Misunderstands
The only thing more disturbing than the mess that he was spewing is the thought that he might be serious. And people wonder why we constantly have to bring up Poe's Law.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

There wasn't really one he just said the same thing over and over again and then claiming we didn't get it when we failed to bow to it's message. I am still not entirely convinced it was a real person. You could program a machine to spew that non-sense over and over again. There certainly was no attempt to understand the other side of the conversation.

Is there a word similar to poe for a someone trying that?

You know there is a lot of posts and I didn't see your warning and then ban 2 minutes later as i was responding in an intelligent and adultlike manner I believe to be quite inspiring to others in their quest for knowledge given the extreme humor of the situation.

You banned everyone at the public library great way to spread your message.

this is my neighbor's IP you can ban this too she says the way you treat others that are doing their best to discuss God with one another is enough for anyone that likes nice people to know what side to be on.

I feel you acted rash and hasty in your decision to ban and clearly it is doubtful even you read any of it either...

to those that continue to repeat that i present no evidence I can only laugh again and sigh and assure you in the most 100% honest clear headed way i can that this thing of which i speak is clearly evident to everyone that has ever seen it.

As it simply is existence itself.
Anyone that bothers to take the time to research the words of all ancient texts will come to the very same conclusion.
there is a very clear pattern.
I would be happy to share more on that with you when I get to the next wifi spot with one of my many computers since you lack the courage to allow me to continue to respond to those that choose to respond to me without giving me the insta ban.
I will of course use a different name and act a little different and you will all be like "is this Sonny?" to God knows how many people now...in a hasty effort to dismiss what they say based on your interpretation of their character rather than based on the content of their conversation. But I will add my knowledge to the discussions as i see fit. i can imagine you will ban so many thinking it is me just like the Pharoah killed all the first born just to get one kid. insert string of laughs here.

I can only ask on behalf of others that you provide enough time for users of your fine forum to both be warned and to have the time to actually show you that they are adult, mature, intelligent, non-combatitive, and in general a fun and friendly person that you would probably have a blast hanging out with in real life.

Before your snap hammer comes whooshing down and clearing the way for the actual trolls to make all the posts at the end of the thread look like a person was just some loon so no one bothers to read the responses.

nice system of eliminating intelligent discourse on your topic...

you guys claim to be the atheists not me.
I am just informing you that you missed a spot when you were deciding God was unfair and imaginary (nah I am not going to apologize for capitalizing God)

My proof is the true definition of the word God as defined by the dictionary.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/god
the first definition reads: the one Supreme Being, the creator and ruler of the universe.
they put Supreme Being in caps, not me. Because it is a Proper Noun.

Now tell me you guys do not believe in the dictionary.

I would laugh hysterically here but I realize you dislike that and I respect that.

My proof that that definition is actually really what they describe would be to look out one's window as if to say, "can you not see that which is?"

I am not being paid for this, I am not the member of any church, maybe pretend you are here to have intelligent discussions and not ban me this time?
Seeing as how I have had time to read the rules and abide by them?

your decision will reflect greatly on your character.

I respect it either way but in no way does that mean I will not come dab in my 2 cents from time to time if i feel compelled to do so as your banning me is clearly rash, and not well thought out in the best interest of the spirit of sharing ideas.

I live in a country that protects free speech instead of censoring it like you have attempted to do here today.
Want to test that theory?

LOL - had to stick in one laugh come on that is allowed right?

i now release you from the burden of forcing you to read my words against your will. Sorry they did not meet up to your standards for discourse.

You are free to go call other people names and attack their character and get them banned for trying to help you too.

it truly has been a pleasure for me I assure you.

Is it ok to use those big emoticons? or is that too distracting and annoying?
I mean caps wow I get why that is so annoying they are so large and moving all around, but emoticons are ok right? I mean as long as I don't laugh using a series of haha's or lol's I can spam emoticons and not get banned like the guys that spammed them at me?

I am just asking because I would like to go out with a trail of rofl emoticons

maybe just visualize that for me.

I LOVE YOU

Bye Angel Cloud

Thank you so much, I do feel released suddenly, as if some sort of pressure has been released from my inside. Why does it smell funny?

RE: The One Thing the Atheist Misunderstands



You came here spouted drivel and then repeated it endlessly even when asked to present something else or even to participate in other topics. But your fixation on this obviously false premise was your downfall.

You didn't play by the rules and will now be endlessly punished.

LOL MwAhAhA EAt that THAt YOu confusioningly FONted INdiViduAL.

The banning of this second account is only because it is a sock account and the rules clearly state something about those, don't they, Mr. "I read the rules this time"?

there is a very clear pattern.
And yet, that's not what the people, the believers themselves, claim... for the most part.

They claim and believe that their god is an entity, at least, greater than the Universe:
1- An entity exterior to the Universe who can control every single aspect of the Universe through thought alone. Completely in the spirit realm.
2- An entity that encompasses the Universe and goes beyond. The Universe is a part of it and, as we control our arms and legs, it too controls every part of the Universe. Still, part of it lies beyond the Universe, in the spirit realm.

None of these is what you're saying.
You're going for
3- An entity which is the Universe itself. And that is somehow aware of itself. Some may say that this awareness of the Universe with the self is our human awareness of the Universe

I told you why you'll get banned.
All socks get banned, unless they ask permission for being socks, Like what DeistPaladin did with his YahwehIsTheWay.

What you were doing was not "intelligent discourse".

The believers are the ones who systematically fail to provide any traction to their beliefs... I cannot help not believing in non-sense.

An online forum is not a country.
It is owned by someone and that someone has imposed rules on the behavior of people who wish to be a part of that forum. When his forum reaches a certain critical mass of users, it is useful to have some helpers enforcing those rules, the moderators and extra admins.
It is more akin to a company. If you don't play by the rules in your contract, you get kicked out. Simple.

You get a maximum of 10 images (including emoticons) per post... go wild!
