For Der Trihs

No, but perhaps he derives personal satisfaction from it.

Well, Der Trihs is right about one thing, he’d be one of the first in the ovens.

Muttox I see, so I only imagined that Mr Dibble and Princhester were defending Der Trihs, and that Begbert2 thought that somehow my insults of Der Trihs were directed at him. I am clearly delusional, as it isn’t possible that I am describing a subset of atheists and not the superset of ‘all atheists’, that my imaginary friends keep accusing me of.

I was replying to the section I quoted just above it. I’ll do it again just for you.

You specifically referred to ALL atheists on this board. You seem to think that because a few atheists argue with you, they all do. You are completely delusional about what ALL atheists ALWAYS do on this board or otherwise, thus the fantasy. Perhaps a counter-example would aid your reasoning ability? I’m an atheist and I haven’t said one word about Der Trihs. Ergo, you’re an idiot. Clear?

He didn’t say “all atheists”, he said “atheists always” and limited it to “this board”.

You know the whole problem with DT/Dibble’s “We’re the only people who know what’s going on” schtick? Everyone else uses it. Everyone.

When DT calls theists deluded and Dibble calls us trusties, they sound exactly like the Aryan bro’s calling us n****-lovers, the WBC calling us hellbound fag-enablers, and the communists calling us lackeys (No joke. I was called a lackey and lickspittle for praising Israel to some 50-year-old communist in the Downtown Crossing station, and when I say “communist”, I mean he tried to sell me a copy of the Maoist Revolution weekly paper. I’m actually sorry I didn’t buy it.).

Listening to the enlightened 0.01% bitching and moaning about being the lone persecuted voice in the wilderness is pretty heady when you’re a college freshman, but by the time you hit your thirties, it gets kind of old watching them prance around screaming about theocracies and police states, and yet somehow never being arrested. Whatever you say just makes them yell louder, and I’ve gradually come to the conclusion that “wilderness” is some sort of inner-sanctum code for “short yellow bus.”

To be fair to MrDibble, he actually did live in a police state.

You’re right, and that’s a good point.

Well this thread has certainly taken on a life of it’s own. And I mean that in the most metaphysical sense.

So in all seriousness, as I am relatively new (but posting like mad to catch up!), how many times has **Der Trihs ** been pitted? It sounds like many.

Well I am sorry I didn’t qualify it well enough for you. As I clarified that I wasn’t talking about ALL atheists, and you are still are arguing about it, it is you sir, that is the idiot.

Even though DTand I don’t see eye to eye, I hate to see these threads. Hating on him is, in my opinion, what got him to where he is today. It’s a hard road to take, but sometimes, not saying what you really feel is the best thing to do. He has some pretty fucked up opinions but nothing said here will change that. It will only make him dig in deeper. I don’t want to spew a bunch of bullshit so I’ll just say this. For some people only death will bring peace.

:slight_smile:
I believe that may include the rest of the human race!

For we are all fallen sinners. :stuck_out_tongue:

I see where you’re coming from here, Omegaman, and I do believe you’re the better man for it, but I have to disagree.

Whatever happened to Trihs in high school or wherever is not our fault, and in any case, I will match scars with anyone on these boards. I know just how cruel children can be, and I have not yet undergone any experience, even in the army, that matched the brutality I saw in my junior high school years.

Still, I’m an adult now. So is Trihs. No one has held a gun to his head and made him post here, and so he has to answer for whatever he says. It would be a worse insult to treat him like an idiot child and let it go, because this would assume that he is somehow not mentally competent enough to be held responsible. Trihs might be addled, but he’s sane enough to know what he’s posting. He’s as accountable and open to ridicule as you or I.

I know you’re right but still there is a part of me (maybe others can relate a little too) that was the pointy end of the stick that pushed him into the hole where he is. Fuck, I used to fuck with kids all the time and although I can see past that I know how it is to get shit on. I know you’re right. You get what you give.

True. Of course, I have to admit that applies to me as well. Sooner or later, Karmic Kollection Agency reps are going to be knocking on my door too.

Thanks for speaking with me. You’re a mans man in my book.

I hope this didn’t offend you. I was speaking of myself, for the most part.

Awwwww, you’re not so bad yourself. :slight_smile:

Man, Der Trihs is just dirt fucking stupid. So are the rest of you lot who say, “Telling him you won’t argue with him isn’t a valid argument.”

If the irony of that one is lost on you, yes, you really are too stupid to debate with.

Then don’t. We’ll get along, somehow. It will be hard at first, I’m sure…
