Blasphemy... aww poor little god gets hurt by words, pathetic!
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.
Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

It seems apropos as it is being used in another thread, so a very stupid claim theists make is that if we can't explain something, and it seems unlikely (even though it has happened of course) that a deity must have done it.
Miracles, prophecy, intercessory prayer all do this, they usually invoke argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacies, and sometimes post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacies.
Another stupid claim they make, when confronted with the fact that their claim uses a known logical fallacy, and is therefore irrational by definition, is to repeat the same irrational argument, peppering it with assertions that their argument is rational or logical. As if merely adding the words make it so?
Like people who loudly use the word fact after a claim, as that alone makes it a fact, Trump is a master at this kind of rhetoric.

Compared to some new members in the past, you’re doing grand. Relax.

Edit window is one or two hours. I don't remember, exactly.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Why do some people appear to have unlimited editing time?
Do they have to get an admin for that right?
I understand you may not know the answer, but you might.
Staff members (mods and admins) have unlimited editing time. If you want a post of yours modified after the window has expired, yes, you’d need to contact a member of staff.
Cash payments enable expedited service.
