Try and describe such a God to me.

I'm starting to see what everyone is referring to,

This is a self-serving post. You start off by telling me you're leaving the conversation. Do you expect me to read any further?
Good luck with that.

The level of hypocrisy in these posts of yours (where you call out others for your perceived failings) is absolutely, delightfully hilarious. Please do keep on being the immense chucklefuck you are.

Fixed that for you...

You called her post self serving. Your arrogant mislabeling of people in this thread has been way more than a little self serving. In fact, most of your posts on these forums have been self-aggrandizing, attention whoring, self serving posts. In plain words, your hypocrisy (while entertaining) knows no bounds. The most deliciously funny bit is that you can't see it even when we rub your nose in it like a puppy that won't quit pissing the carpets.

You expect me to be nice to you when you talk to me like that? Or to agree with you?

Before you say that's hypocritical of me to say as well, notice that you've been flaming me for tens of posts, and I always responded in a civil manner. Seriously, what do you expect? Do you want us to get all awkward and me to concede points I don't think are reasonable or to agree to things I consider simply wrong just so I can score a few brownie points?

I'm sorry, but I'll never do that. You need to get used to me being assertive. Just because I'm assertive doesn't mean I'm not ready to change my mind about anything. In fact that's why I'm like that in the first place. I want to be proven wrong. I'm not afraid to be wrong.

If you could consider even for a moment the possibility that I'm not malicious or trolling, that I'm actually honest, maybe you wouldn't have so much of a problem with me.

At the risk of inflaming any polar sphenisciformes we may have among us, could anyone explain how a presupposition can serve as an afterthought?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Let me put it this way. If you're an atheist, chances are you're an antitheist as well.

I have absolutely no fucks to give about either of those points. You are entertainment at this point.

Since I didn't call you out for flaming, I'm not sure what your point here is. You're still a fucking hypocrite.

Nope. I wouldn't change a thing about your posting. You're too entertaining just the way you are. Arrogant, assholish and completely self-aggrandizing, but entertaining non the less.

(February 4, 2016 at 12:38 am)Excited Penguin Wrote: I'm sorry, but I'll never do that.
Yep. I know you'll never admit to being wrong, even when proven wrong. Repeatedly.

But you aren't ready to change your mind. It's made up and cast in concrete. Even when reasonable points are shown disproving your stance, you cling to it like a drowning man to a life preserver.

No, you don't.

(February 4, 2016 at 12:38 am)Excited Penguin Wrote: I'm not afraid to be wrong.
Yes, you are.

I don't have to consider whether or not you're trolling. You've made it painfully obvious to everyone that you are. Or, at least trying. I honestly have no problem with it (though the mods may eventually). I'm simply enjoying watching you flail about demanding that all agree with you, insisting that everyone else is wrong and you're the only one that's right, trolling your little ass off. It's better than a night at the movies and the popcorn's cheaper.

Don't worry too much though. If your entertainment value drops before the ban hammer does, you'll wind up on ignore with the two or three other trolls who became too boorish to tolerate but haven't earned a ban. Then you won't have to worry about me correcting you, over and over and over and over and over.....

Still beating that drum, I see.

Sure. You want to be proven wrong. Yep. I can see it.

I can see that no matter what I say you'll take it the wrong way. The only option I have left is to leave you to it.
