You pretend to be brand new here, and then immediately challenge the intelligence of people you presumably don't even know. Where I come from, that's pretty much a dick move ... and I'm pretty blunt-spoken, as anyone here will tell you. Don't like it? Stop being a dick. (October 3, 2024 at 5:17 pm)Lord Andreasson Wrote: Did I say it was the only qualification of intelligence? You said you'd be judging who is and isn't intelligent, and only provided the one criterion. Intelligent people need not be literalists. Inference is a useful tool, especially when judging people. Perhaps next time you should write what you mean. Be advised, that requires honesty. 
@Thumpalumpacus
Pretend to be new? I just joined today. You lost credibility with me with your rationalizing. Takes a dick to recognize another dick, eh?
How about you? Do you think nothing happens for a reason, some things happen for a reason, or everything happens for a reason?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What Thump offered was an insult, not an ad hominem. Since you clearly don’t understand the difference, I’m happy to explain. Firstly, an ad hominem is a logical fallacy where an attempt is made to discredit an argument based on some flaw (real or perceived) of the person making the argument. Since you haven’t made an argument, there can be no ad hominem. As an example, if I were to say, ‘Lord Andreasson is a pig fucker’, that’s an insult. If I were to say, ‘Lord Andreasson’s argument doesn’t work because Lord Andreasson is a pig fucker,’ that’s an ad hominem. I hope that clears it up, pig fucker. Boru

You remind me of the animated christian corpses who miss the spirit of the Word of the Creator of the Universe. "Pig Fucker" is old , I prefer Master Bastard. I'll let it go this time, mortal.  (October 3, 2024 at 12:38 pm)Lord Andreasson Wrote: Ok, theists and atheists, is Everything happening for a reason, Something's or Nothing. It seems pretty clear that everything happens for a reason, if by "reason" you mean "the conditions that made the event happen." Of course if "reason" means "goal," or something like an Aristotelian final cause, then that's something that atheists tend to dismiss.
