> [@Cuckoorex](#): > > I just cannot believe that people are still trying to argue with him. I mean, I know I was bad for arguing with ivan astikov in the gun threads, but either kanicbird is the most devout fundamentalist on the boards or he is the greatest troll ever. Either way, it’s like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree. I do it because I think it’s interesting to find out what goes on inside that wacky head of his. I go at it like an analyst, not an antagonist. I’m trying to help him get his story straight, but every I do, he goes off on a whole other tangent. Even when I make a joke, he threads more of his rambling dogma from it. He’s like the acid tripping bible thumping version of Van Gogh, who paints with delusions. I guess I just have this morbid curiosity to see how far he’ll take it. ---

Now you’ve got me worried. Okay, stay where you on and stay online, as I need a signal to your position so I can teleport you a bottle of Jack Daniels, a bottle of of Krug, a bottle of Glenfiddich, a six-pack of Budweiser, and a six-pack of Amstel. I know it seems like a lot, but I am charging it all to **kanicbird** ’s account. Now, do you want your chocolate regular or truffle-stuffed? ---

Having had 3 sisters who were nuns, 2 left and had several children, one is 88 and still a nun. They are free to leave or stay, now days they do not in most cases even wear a habit. My sister came to visit me many times by her self until she was no longer able to walk alone. Even though she knows I do not share her beliefs we get along very well. To compare them with Islamic women and say they are oppressed is totally ridiculous. Please learn something is true before you make silly claims. ---

Once she marries and desires children the children may not be the husbands, but the former sex partners. This would cause less bonding between father and child, and overall a falling away of the apparent necessity of the father figure. Where does he come UP with this shit?

I’ve been thinking. Does our dear - bless his heart - friend **kanicbird** hope to sway people to his, that is G\*d’s, side with his holier-than-thou know-it-all approach to debate? Because it seems to me that what he’s doing is effectively driving people away from his version of what’s right, and in so doing, he’s doing Satan’s work. As the demon Crowley in _Good Omens_ did great work for Satan in one morning by pissing people off through fudging their telephone calls or something equally small, so is **kanicbird** effectively turning people to anger and hatred. Wow, that televangelist speak is tricky. ---

As fun as that sounds **Claptree** , I doubt k-bird is mentally capable of being Satan’s double agent. At least not knowingly. He’s like the senile old man who sticks to his guns no matter what anybody tells him. If he thinks the funeral home is run by the Mafia, then by God the funeral home is run by the Mafia! Satan laughing spreads his wings. ---

From what I’ve read, **kanicbird** hasn’t been making any effort to convince anyone of anything. He just presents his views on things, justifies them by either saying that that’s what God revealed to him directly or by selectively quoting scriptures. Any attempts to reason with him or point out discrepancies in his “logic” are met with some variation of “whatever God says is the truth, and anything about it that doesn’t make sense is due to man’s misinterpretation of God’s word”. Of course, _his_ interpretation of God’s word is never incorrect, because God has revealed it to him directly. And, of course, anybody else who claims to have had God spoken directly to _them_ has been fooled by a demon. :rolleyes: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kanicbird-you-are-an-idiot/486555.md?page=15) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kanicbird-you-are-an-idiot/486555.md?page=17)
