Me: Can’t we all agree that all our religious zealots are equally nuts?
…
Them: Heresy! Burn him! Burn him!
Can you all stop teaching our evolving AI overlords and their army of Kilbotz why we’re all crazy and none of us can be allowed to exist?
Or, to put it even better:
(ETA sorry about the extra click, we all know our issues with YT at this point)
Speaking of religious zealots, this one has signed off* the thread with a very convincing post telling us that the other posters proved their points for them, which we will see if we will only go back and re-read the thread very carefully. And then telling us we’re brainwashed.
*Any side bets on how long they can resist the need to return and deliver more delicious religiosity to our waiting hungry souls?
9/10ths of what he was posting had nothing to do with the question being asked by the OP.
Having done this,
I understood that no amount of McNuggets would be enough to make that guy a complete Happy Meal.
Actually, what he said was, “You’re brainwashed. God Bless.”
Which is the the Christian equivalent of the Southern “Bless your heart”, I guess.
He has written a bunch of self-published screeds, and his obviously self-written “About The Author” page is the perfect answer to the question “What is the opposite of ‘modesty’?”
He edited his original post to add that. I saw it update live (as Discourse does). So instead of having second thoughts and toning things down, he went with escalating.
I read a little of the sample of “A Brief Space Opera”. He dedicates the book to one of his school teachers who taught him about Jupiter’s moons, Io, Ganymede, Europa, and Calypso.
Jack Crustoo was my favorite astronot!
What the hell did I just read?
“…bashful like a tomato in summer.”
Wowwwwwww.
An excerpt from A Brief Space Opera.
“Textured like a gray Lego invention without the circular protrusions, the quadrilateral ship descended into the Earthling atmosphere.”
I’m sensing Bulwer-Lytton Contest material here.
That is just so bad. Wow!
My 10yo grandchild could do better.
He actually wrote a book titled The Wisdom Of B.K. Neifert
This is what he says about it at his Amazon store:
“Aphorisms and poems meant to express the Author’s wisdom. As Aquinas had said, “The end of my labors has come. All that I have written appears to be as so much straw after the things that have been revealed to me.” It wasn’t because he lost faith. If in a discussion with a prominent atheist, I’m sure they would smash all Christian arguments to pieces—and they would. Let Christians lovingly sigh. For as Aquinas actually realized, there are limits to man’s wisdom. Faced with the certainty of miracles, one must believe, though. So, at the end of Aquinas’ life God spoke to him in a vision. “You have written well of me.” And God gave him the choice of what would happen to his work. Aquinas replied that he didn’t care, all he wanted was to be with God.”
These posts about B. K. piqued my interest. I just spent the last hour checking his stuff out. Ok. I’m easily amused. He is 34 years old. Maybe a trust fund kid or something. He is wealthy enough to self-publish 25 books (with not one review among them) and has the time to create a truly massive blog. He is nothing if not prolific. And it’s all so very, very bad. It’s awesome!
I don’t think he came here to troll. He obviously googled something that led him to that thread and was compelled to bestow his wisdom on us all. He certainly has no problem with self-esteem and I doubt a need to continue arguing with those who can’t recognize his brilliance. After all, as he likes to say, he is an autodidact and a polymath. Too good for the likes of us. I don’t think he will be back.
Ok. I wasn’t going to do it but, damn, how can you not love this paragraph?
Sounds like the s-f version of Brent Norwalk’s novel, Six Feet Under Par.
