Every person is religious

[Thumpalumpacus]

Why ask him to support his opinions?  He can't even maintain them sentence to sentence or post to post.

Probably to make his bullshittery apparent even to noobs who fall for trolling. We both know he can only appeal to his "beliefs", and it should be made plain that that shit doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense. And that, m'friend, is his job -- hence my request.

Of course I know he cannot and will not answer. That's not a problem for me.

What part of this doesn't make sense? Maybe you're just not paying attention?

Just like the term "spiritual" you use the term "religion" to mean something other than.  

What is word.

I see you above arguing with yourself, talking about the ways that people and their actions do matter, after all, directly after denying as much - and while arguing against your own earlier assertion that all people are religious by mooting any actual religious ideation that people might really share in the first place.  So tedious.  People like you are the reason that discussions like these can't be had.  Your specific idiocy is conflated with the idiocy of the set in general - and here we are.

When did I say people's actions matter? Evil people will always be evil, their actions won't change that, they're all going to Hell no matter what they do.

It just keeps getting sillier because it can't really go any other way, huh?

I haven't read much of the thread but would 'if you define religion as any belief at all, everyone is religious' be a good summary?

Nope. Everyone is religious whether they have beliefs or not. It's human nature. It's in our blood.

You're full of shit.

Entirely, which is a shame, because the idea that we all have a religious impulse isn't. It's basically a quote mine. Anthropologists and sociologists say something which they can very easily demonstrate to be true and a nut like Ahri takes it because it sounds like some other thing he wants to talk about. Something other than the thing described. So his "spiritual" -and- his "religious" are actually just superstitious. Religion...to him..has no particular meaning in and of itself and is thus an oxymoron.

It's fucking.....tedious...and nothing else, literally.

This thread should be retitled Everything Ahri says is stupid.

Fixed that for ya.

Oh, you're on the radar. You're a lot more transparent than you may imagine. But the Socratic methid clearly disturbs you. Next question?

You're going to listen to Socrates? Why? The dude's been dead for thousands of years. And here I am, providing something new, and you disapprove. Stop living in the past.

Because, Socrates spoke more sense in a sentence than you've managed in all your posts combined.

Yeah, which is boring. Do you enjoy being bored?
