uh... what? here is how far I care about facts if proven true = truth if proven false = false if conjecture = your free to believe in whatever the hell you want (as long as you can make one or two strong arguments) why do you feel you can define me? that is what I call intolerance, you can't tolerate the indefinitive so you deny it. abort retry fail? ----- translation: abort retry fail is what the intolerant do. It's an old DOS reference to when it can't tolerate indefinitive commands.
Do you believe that I have a blue dragon in my garage? If so why? If not why? I don't need to justify it, I have faith.
Says the guy who hates all Japanese people because of something their ancestors did. Just replace the word indefinitive with Japanese and the word deny with hate. I don't actually want to go down this road that has no end today. So let's just say you're free to believe what you believe and I don't understand why you believe but I have to accept the fact that you do. Who are you hurting right?
No I have faith... that you wouldn't lie to me, but in this instance I don't have that faith. If it was a ghost than you would have faith too! but since it's fully undeniable if proven (CLEAN OUT YOUR GADAM GARAGE MANG! IT COULD MEAN LIFE OR DEATH) than no your straight out crazy or telling the truth... and I'd say your crazy. Why? cuz one you have not proven you can even comprehend faith two you are trying to turn a popular theory around. In the end they're not at all the same thing. You'd have better luck getting me to believe your garage is haunted. "Says the guy who hates all Japanese people because of something their ancestors did." So I did, and what does that have to do with this? Hatred is not even on the same level of intolerance. one can be tolerant and hateful at the same time, take your very stance on religion. If you think I'm intolerant because I hate and loathe them then uh, you'd obviously be in the same boat and that would prove me right. You are intolerant because you ignore and do not suffer those you think are fools. That is what intolerance is in my book. edit: lol I forgot to erase the last line of my first paragraph (I erased it here) I hope nobody saw that ^.^
In fact if it's haunted AND their's a dragon in there only you can't verify it cuz it's haunted! That I might believe... especially if your garage is blue. Regardless would I care? no not really.
I think Scientologists are at least as crazy as fundamentalists in other religions. I discovered why they despise my line of work so much after I came across this: They believe I'm in league with a militant race of insect creatures that plan to destroy mankind. My method of choice is evidently using shock therapy, stimulants, and antidepressants to weaken them before jamming icepicks into each of their eyes to finish them off, which they call a trans-orbital leucotomy. Yeah, they really are this crazy.
If you have faith then you're an idiot. Faith by definition is a belief in something despite the lack of evidence aka belief in something with no good reason. Having faith in little things is ok I guess (although I have faith in nothing) but believeing in a God and living your life by his word and taking the Bible as true based on faith is in my eyes an idiotic thing to do. Why do you have faith that God exists but not my blue dragon? There exists the same amount of evidence for both. Why don't you believe in my dragon for no good reason like you believe in a God for no good reason eh? So you're saying I'm crazy because I made an outlandish claim (although far less outlandish than the idea of a deity) and can't back it up? Even though unlike a God theory I could easily perform a test to demonstrate whether or not there is indeed a blue dragon in my garage. Also there is no dragon, I was lying, so I'm not crazy. You (I'm guessing) are not lying about your belief in God so... does that make you the crazy one? I don't ignore people I think are fools, where did I say that? But hey, check this out. From the Collins Oxford English Dictionary intolerant (ɪnˈtɒlərənt) Definitions adjective 1.lacking respect for practices and beliefs other than one's own I guess that makes me intolerant, and I make no apologies for it. I shouldn't have to respect things I thing are stupid and damaging to society. Respect (for the most part) must be earned, religion has yet to earn mine. Just out of curiosity why do you believe in God and please define the type of God you believe in.
Predictably logic wins, every time. I love this guy, he just radiates sensical arguments and logic. Warning, you're about to be hit by the Dillahunty logic bomb! http://youtu.be/xSfnf5S0jpg http://youtu.be/WcZmfMXSBJE http://youtu.be/qs3RKZjSzYg BOOM!
Seriously dood. I think you may be overdoing this now. I'm getting all the religious fanaticism, but none of the whacked out justification
Which justifications are you talking about. The justifications for the religious beliefs or the justifications for not believing them?
At least when pdraggy is rambling on in his barely understandable English, it's fairly amusing to read. You're just boring. Plus you sound like you enjoy wearing a pointy white hat. Plus you sound just as whacked out as the religious nuts.
Some of the most influential scientists are also people that believe in God. In fact, Darwin said that the Apple fell on his head and went on to inspire evolution was an act of God itself. So perhaps faith and science aren't mutually exclusive.
Have you ever seen Scientology's propaganda "documentary" Psychiatry: Industry of Death? I've watched about half, and it's a riot. They have retold history by repositioning psychiatry and psychology as the roots of all evil. They blamed the Holocaust on psychiatry's influence on Hitler. Scientologists claim that their racist Nazi beliefs have been carried over into practice in the US. They described B.F. Skinner's Skinner boxes as "one of his most notorious experiments" and made everything he did look like it was designed to sadistically torture animals and babies. I've been laughing all the way through, although it is rather alarming that these Scientology wingnuts actually believe this stuff. This entire "masterpiece" can be found on youtube.
I don't get what you're basing your opinion on. I'm simply trying to find out why pdraggy is involved with a devisive and harmful institution by using logical arguments and comparisons. The fact that anyone would believe that stuff boggles my mind and I'm fascinated to hear why someone would do so. The blue dragon thing was just a way of trying to find out why he believes some crazy shit but not other crazy shit. I could just have easily called it Bigfoot, a Leprechaun, or the infamous flying spaghetti monster, I plumped for a blue dragon. I'm not doing this for your entertainment, I'm doing this because I'm curious. Sorry for not being interesting enough for you.
