Detecting design or intent in nature
RE: Detecting design or intent in nature
He's saying that you should accept the consequences of your -own- argument. Do you think that your -own- argument is errant?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Oh my holy shitting Christ almighty devil horn up my arse! This evolution thing still going? Blimey.

I think heywood must have me on block as he hasn't addressed anything I've said at all. Oh well.

I don't want to be all alone forever, but my chainsaw demands the blood of weak arguments and I can't control the rage!

RE: Detecting design or intent in nature
The other day, my GF's daughter (she's 17) was asking for help on her biology homework. The topic was evolution and writing a paragraph on various aspects such as DNA evidence or morphology.

My input was --

"Lies from the Devil. The End."

She was not amused. If teen agery eye rolls could kill, I'd be dead.

Can you succinctly sum up the consequences of my argument? Like in a sentence or two?

Already been done to death, and I've already seen your response. At some point you're going to have to stop asking people to repeat themselves, and then pretending that they haven't been repeating themselves, or they'll stop repeating themselves...eh?

But...just for you, just this once...go ahead and put your argument into a syllogism so that we can see -exactly- what it is you're arguing...and then there won;t be any ambiguity as to what the consequences are...and whether or not they are, in fact, consequences of whatever argument you present?

What in the hell does that mean?

And if you're admittedly a "bad catholic", then why the hell would you make assertions about the history and established beliefs of the Catholic church? Hell, at least admit that just about every claim you've made about the Church has been wrong, at least that's a starting point.

All it means is that to be bad is to make the shepherd needed, or at least feel needed because opposite to good is bad and not evil, that so cannot exist outside his idea as shepherd for us.

So were you spewing factually and utterly wrong statements about your own (supposed) church, to make jesus feel needed? Deciphering your posts is a fucking chore.

Jesus? He is not needed in our Church and we just left him hanging there to say, and hang him again if needed to be.

In short, that is the best thing that ever happened in history and that is why it made history for us. To worship Jesus typically is a protestant thing, and because he does not deliver burned-out Christians are known to be still smoldering away.

"Jesus, be a dear and open this jar for me, my girly fingers just can;t manage." :Sssspop: "Thanks, its a blessing you're here you know, what with opening pickle jars and saving my immortal soul...a real pal".

So again, are you utterly ignorant of the history and beliefs of your own purported church?

And I'd be eager to see if the Vatican and other Catholics would agree that "Jesus? He is not needed in our Church "
