If you're going to quote me, you can at least respond to points I've actually made instead of making such an inane attempt to berate me. Also, actually quoting something I've said instead of putting my name in a quote of something I never said is also a good idea.
Further, it would be nice if you came here to actually discuss (which involves talking with us instead of at us) your views and shove your opinions of us at us without listening to anything we have to say.
Ignorance about atheism and science is one thing but proactively anti-intellectual and erroneously telling us about what we believe is something completely different.

your posts are getting rather tiresome Edward. 
So far you have only demonstrated how ignorant you are about atheists and humans in general. Do you get out at all??

I don't like talking to you because you always use "we." You're like some cliquish jerk. But, hey, if I owe you a charity-response here it is. Ever see, Saturday Night Fever? The scene where the girl comes up to him in the disco and says "I just love to watch you dance...I love to watch you dance..." and then he dances with her out of pity. Well, that's us. I'm John Travolta. Let's dance.
Whatdaya want to talke about.
And you're right I misquoted you before. I'm not sure how it happened. At any rate, I deleted it.

Well you're going to have to get over it or heal over it, because I have a different opinion than you do about things. If you don't want the discussion, don't talk to me.
See how you feel in a couple of days. I'm going to post a paper in Atheist Forums showing my evidence that consciousness is not from our brain. I think it's quite original.
Until then, I'm just killing time and having some fun and giving as good as I get. If that's breaking the rules, by god then kick me out. Then you can be just like the Christian groups. You know what they do? Since they won't let any non-christians in, they post Hallmark-like religious images and write posts like, "Just hoping you have a blessed day!"
You can be like that if you want. You can just have atheists in here or roll-over Christians, and then you won't have to be upset anymore. Here, let me start it off:

Presumably, it's been published and peer reviewed... or not. Hmm, consciousness doesn't come from our brain. That's interesting... it must be why, if you get a knock on the head, you go unconscious. That must be why numerous internal phenomena have been shown to be correlated with brain states. Still, I'm keeping an open mind...

Ooooooooooooo getting precious are you?? The point is Edward is that you are not engaging in any form of discussion that I can see; only the petulant ravings of a spoilt brat at the moment...but I do have hope for you

feeling will have nothing to do with the appraisal of such a document. Evidence and intelligent discourse is what is needed.

So you are just trolling as has been cited in other threads??

You still don't get it do you?? *sigh*
Looking forward to this "paper" of yours...hopefully it won't include childish rantings.
Have a happy day....but hey ...no pressure!

We certainly have differing definitions of “Discussion”. All you have done is spout your opinions at people. That’s not discussion, that’s preaching.

Sorry to go off-topic and not really contribute, but what's there to say, really?
