Well, you came here to learn, apparently. It seems you haven't.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What is the bloody purpose of life!
Who gives a shit how it got here!
I prefer the evolution theory but again, what for?
Why would nature bother? Or it doesn't? What happens happens because intervention would be required to stop it from happening... I'm cool with that.
So in a nutshell, we are here ultimately, for no other reason other than we are one piece of the result of a BB.
Nothing more, nothing less.. I'm cool with that too... Nature is not consciously intelligent in itself, so we can't blame nature for our being. We just blame existence. That's it... It's a bit of a downer I s'pose. But I'm not going to accept bullshit for the sake of it, meaning I don't give a fuck about trying to satisfy my fragile ego and give myself some higher purpose to feel warm and fuzzy...

Sorry Stimbo, I only did it to invigorate the thread. I take it that it's no longer a necro.
Anyway, here's my take on logic101.
The easiest logic fallacy people make is is by not following the logic triangle.
Eg, If I say Stimbo is a man, and then state that Jesus was a man, does that mean that Stimbo is Jesus?
Answer: of course not, Stimbo is REAL.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Ok, just to be sure that I.get this right - so you're now saying that Stimbo.is not Jesus?

Yes, I'm reasonably confident in my answer.
No God, No fear.

Well, I've never seen the two of them in the same room together, and I have never seen Batman and Bruce Wayne in the same room together....

No true logical fallacies ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I thought I'd throw it in since this thread bobbed up! Apologies to those who are sick of hearing about my website. I sadly haven't had the energy to do anything new to it for a while now, but I'm sure I will in the future.
