That is a legitimate position, much better than define “coherent philosophy.”
Not to mention, he claims he picks and chooses what he likes out of the NT, and that’s great when he does it, but when atheists pick and choose, that’s…what was that phrase yet again… “Borrowing from other world views and philosophies instead of coming up with our own.” And that’s a strike AGAINST atheism.
You can’t even write a coherent sentence. You wouldn’t know a coherent philosophy if it bit you on the ass.
Procrustus is honest and relies on pure subjectivity to provide meaning to his life.
Where other people rely on someone else’s interpretation of re-re-re-translated stories written down by some people who knew people who knew a guy who supposedly said he was a god - and others who lived hundreds of years later and didn’t even know that guy. Coherence for the win!
Where the fuck did you come up with that? And how is that any different than what has been said by countless others? Why are you not asking “well then what do you have to offer? aren’t you just being lazy?”
Procrustus’ honesty aside - you are a sniveling little weasal of a person.
Well, some piers have rules against using (inter)nets.
Given that his answer was stated in different ways by multiple people in the aforementioned 15 page thread, and you failed to congratulate anyone else on their honesty, I stand by my prior statement that you wouldn’t recognize a coherent philosophy if it bit you on the ass.
OK Dopers Who Have Participated In This Thread , you all win the Crescendo (sp?) Award!
After reading a few of the defendant’s posts, I wondered how long it would take until he was called out, en masse, about his nonsense.
It took longer than I thought, but you really let him have it! About time!
I don’t think he noticed, however.
There was a significant difference between the way Procrustus stated his position and the way others did. He did not pretend in any way or manner to be objective. He did not try to put the blame on me for looking for a coherent philosophy. He merely stated that he didn’t care if there was one or not.
The only thing Procrustus did that 20 other posters failed to do was say something you could fit into your preconceived notions.
You do understand that everyone else on this board can read that thread for themselves, right? I just want to make sure you’re aware of that.
“Keep your thumbs out of the way.”
Wow. Those posts, especially the later ones, were downright gripping reading.
QFT.
Note: I’ve skipped the last two pages of this troll-feeding thread, so hopefully this isn’t a dupe.
Yes, but do we want to? Shit, I skipped a [DEL]couple[/DEL] bunch of pages of this one and feel like I missed nothing.
Well, there’s been one thing accomplished in this thread… we got a pretty thorough listing of the board’s lawyers.
Now all that’s left to do is round 'em up! 
(Geez, I hope that’s not actionable!)
It is possible we’re seeing the reincarnation of Beryl Mooncalf?
That all the world is a nail?
How very non-Procrustean.
