So far all you have done is preach about imaginary things...no evidence or "reasoning" has been presented for your methodology as far as I can see.

I fail to see how playing the victim card here is going to help your argument. No one is asking you to commit to any opposing view other than your own...you are a theist?? A baptist? And have so far been unreasonable in defining just what your argument is...hmmm
Yes dear...have you had your meds today???

So ends the debate. Good night Mrs Calabash wherever you are.

Sorry WTF?? has Nazi Germany go to do with your imaginary friend and animal?? Are you saying that your view has trapped you six feet under??? And who is Mrs Calabash?? I reiterate...have you had your medication today??

I think mods this needs to go to 'The Gauntlett"

Oh I see, someone called you a name and now you think it was something other than your posts being laughable?

Right, a discussion forum for people who can't tolerate other opinions...

Where was the reasonable argument?

You have an intelligent argument? I have yet to see it.

See above, babbling on about drawing an invisible animal is neither reasonable or intelligent.

Ah... good old godwin fallacy. Smells like... failure.
I have to ask the obvious question, because what, exactly, was debated here, on this thread?
You came here, made a bunch of ill-informed and ludicrous assertions based on faulty reasoning and when people gathered around and collectively wondered "WTF", you decided to now mark your success based on our inability to see another conclusion?

The debate has indeed ended, but then again, you never really presented us with something to debate.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

Yup. Godwin's law in action.

I'm torn. I really can't decide; is this one a troll,a Poe,a badly repressed adolescent parroting Drivel 101 taught at Sunday School or just a run-of the mill adult fundy who has not yet mastered independent thinking ?

My question is purely academic you understand. My don't-suffer-fools gene has kicked in. I'm done with this one.

This repetitious drek about the personal superstitions of some schlemiel I don't know from a bar of soap got old a long time ago.These days it's just tedious and a little irritating.

Quote:Godwin's law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies or Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies)[1][2] is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1989[citation needed] which has become an Internet adage. It states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."[3][2] In other words, Godwin put forth the hyperbolic observation that, given enough time, in any online discussion—regardless of topic or scope— someone inevitably criticizes some point made in the discussion by comparing it to beliefs held by Hitler and the Nazis.

Godwin's law is often cited in online discussions as a deterrent against the use of arguments in the widespread Reductio ad Hitlerum form. The rule does not make any statement about whether any particular reference or comparison to Adolf Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that the likelihood of such a reference or comparison arising increases as the discussion progresses. It is precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued[4] that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact.

I want you to draw an animal that has no known parts, no known color, and no known shape. This means you have to think of something that cannot exist. To do this project you will have 10 minutes to complete it. 10 minutes is totally enough time. Once you are done i ask you to look over your animal and tell me all about it. If God doesn't exist then why is there a forum that says there is no God? The idea of God cannot be argued if God does not exist. Thats why after 10 minutes of drawing you should have a blank piece of paper or a bunch of scribble.

You are right..it was a bunch of scribble..check out my attachment..

I think mods this needs to go to 'The Gauntlett"
1. What do Nazi Germany and his asking us to draw an imaginary animal have to do with each other? Absolutely nothing. Anyway, as Gene Ray has shown, unless you can explain your ideas coherently, don't expect to be liked.
2. As For Mrs. Calabash, it's a reference to one of old-time comedian Jimmy Durante's catchphrases. Apparently, it referred to his first wife.
3. I agree. If he cannot explain why he wants us to draw an imaginary animal, he should at least go to the Gauntlet if not get banned. Is he trying to explain that every idea has some sort of unconscious source? Because David Hume demonstrated that in his Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, and, coincidentally, spent several chapters of his enquiry trying to at least undermine belief in any sort of deity. Is he a closet Discordian who believes that everything is true and trying to philosophically justify it by saying that if it can be conceived of, it exists? Way to totally miss the point of Malaclypse the Younger and Omar Khayyam Ravenhurst's magnum opus? Or is he just an idiot? I hope he can explain it before anything happens to him.

He appears to be a "one trick pony" too in love with his "good idea" to suffer any criticism.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
