(Continuing from this fully hijacked thread in Great Debates):
(1) Stop acting like a jerk. Don’t deny it, your aura gives away your true nature.
(2):
Pray tell, what evidence do you speak of? Be specific, please.
Soon as I saw this title, I thought “Lemme guess. Der Trihs pissed someone off in the spirit thread.”
He’s a fundie atheist. What did you expect?
Can you point out exactly where he’s being a jerk in that thread? I didn’t see anything but simple disagreement while skimming it.
And KGS is a complete lunatic incapable of rational argument. There’s nothing to see here, folks.
Is that what his problem is? Sure would explain a lot…
I don’t normally respond to threads like this; it’s seldom productive. But as this is essentially a GD question . . .
All of science that impinges in any way on the matter of “spirits”, “magick”, and gods. And, the complete lack of evidence for the other side. I can’t be “specific” because the evidence against your claims is so broad; it’s like asking for specific evidence against fairies being the secret rulers of America. ALL the evidence is against you.
You can ask that question in the thread where you were debating there is evidence for spirits. What’s the point of asking in the Pit?
Hey now. The fae are unpleasant and dangerous and vicious and powerful and rarely seen by mortals. They have nothing in common with Dick Cheney. NOTHING!
The fae often use goblins and such for their dirty work . . .
Because he’s acting like a jerk. I’m not fooled, I know exactly what this is all about.
Very well…I have direct observational evidence that spirits DO exist. No, it’s not in any peer-reviewed journal (not yet) and I haven’t published a thesis yet, but I’m working on one. My evidence could lead to a major breakthrough in theoretical physics…or become the subject of a fictional novel. Which do you choose, empirical knowledge or fantasy entertainment? The fate of the world (as pertains to my future career path) hinges on your answer.
So do I! hic
So enlighten me. You’re the one that called him an asshole in that thread, whereas his worst crime seems to be that he disagrees with you and isn’t apologetic about it.
Explain “what this all about” to me, because you were the only jerk in that thread to my eyes.
And I have a perpetual motion machine made of bubblegum that I’ve constructed in my bedroom closet. I’d show it to you and prove it, but the world’s not ready for such a shattering discovery; you’ll have to take my word for it.
He’s not just disagreeing with me. He’s deliberately throwing straw men about and hijacking the entire discussion. All I did was suggest the concept of “soul” should not be confined to SpaceTime and is most likely extra-dimensional. Was I wrong to bring up M-Theory? Because I don’t think I was.
Sez you, Randifan. :rolleyes:
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Personally, I don’t understand why people continue to debate with the likes of you; the horse is not going to learn to sing.
No you don’t. If you’re resorting to bald-face lies, keep in mind that I can still view your aura, and it gives away your dichotomous lies.
No, you don’t.
I don’t know about you, but I define a good pit thread as one where someone actually proves that he has a reason to be outraged. I read most of the linked thread; I don’t see what you see and, apparently, I’m not alone. I think we’re open to argument, though, so I’d suggest you (you know) detail where Der Trihs went wrong.
To be perfectly honest, though, I can’t for the life of me make sense of half of what you said in that thread. Psychological tricks are magical because we can’t explain them yet? As far as I can tell, things we can’t explain yet are just that—things we can’t yet explain. For what reason other than vacuous metaphor is it at all enlightening to call it magic? What does that have to do with souls?
There’s no such thing. This is a stupid phrase.
