Jeez, I hadn't used this in forever
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

at some point you have to go back to math which is a very dogmatic and repressive system. That makes you eeeevil. And closed minded too!
I see you're confusing "being open-minded," with "being unwilling to correct basic factual inaccuracies." They aren't the same thing at all. If someone tells me that my name is Jake, it's not being close-minded to correct them. Maybe you should actually try to understand the objection one might have against dogma before you try to prove it wrong, next time?
Quote:because technically your kid was also right, and who is to say that he is not more right than you?
Are you seriously asserting that "1+1=11" is correct? 
Quote: I mean, I can demonstrate arrythmetics with a lair of apples, it he demonstrates it on paper. So how do you figure out who's right? You look at the outcome of the ways of thinking. And the outcome for ignoring the existence of the soul as the immaterial part of human beings is to undermine human dignity, freedom, responsibility and rights in exchange for a system where truth is determined by who is stronger, or has more voice in the media.
So, do you ever intend to demonstrate this? Or are you going for more of a "because I said so, nyeh!" sort of argument?

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Actually, that is correct. One gold star for you.

It's something people use to make fun of gingers for 'not having one'. Or so my redhead friend tells me.

I think you do mean souls and not the bumkin thing. Are you ginger? Lots in my family on my mother's side. But not me.

Nope, a brunette. One of my good friends is a redhead though, and she got picked on relentlessly in middle school for 'not having a soul'
