Many of the posters here need to know where others are basing their beliefs, i.e. know who they read (philosophically) and follow.
Helps to make a lot of sense of these threads but YMMV... Once a topic gets over 5 pages long...it just becomes...long...and tiring. People become more entrenched in their own positions, and little to nothing is accomplished. Which is what one would expect from a venue as impersonal as a computer screen.

AS, I did not fire up the grill and cook up the steak as you suggested. I went out and bought my wife a new car instead.
I'm felling like I need a trip to the range!! That will work!! Happy Wife, happy life!!

GB, you can go to your personal settings and change your page size. I find a page size of 50 post is much more manageable then the default 10.

Entertainment value may have just gone up a notch with CCCC's last post. Nice fallacy of composition, isn't it? Fine example of what a Ph.D. and brewskis can do. carbon 12, the Ph.D has nothing to do with this silly little exercise, and I don't drink beer. Am thinking you may have missed the intent of the recent stuff. That's fine - I didn't take it very seriously.

Perhaps, you missed the point of my post. I think I comprehend the content of your post. I continue because at some point...like 30 pages ago...it becomes like guys poping each other with towels in the locker room. I know where a lot of the arguments come from. I find most of them interesting...outside this format. I never cared for Dawkins or Krauss, however, I almost always enjoyed reading/watching Hitchens...although I disagreed with him on almost all of his conclusions and assurtions. My feelings are not hurt when someone "bashes" (not the exact word I would use) my position. And when I fire off a zinger at another poster...AS for example...I am pretty sure he has been around the block enough that his feelings are not hurt either.

Many on this thread should google Karl Popper. It would save a lot of trouble. No offense AS!

I expect some fun disagreement, otherwise, where is the fun? As for Hitchens, agree with him or not, the man could turn a phrase.

For the record, I wasn't insinuating hurt feelings!
Just adding my $0.02, which is discounted due to inflationary policies.

Yes. A master of irony.
I watched a debate between he and his brother. Christopher clearly had the more developed gift.

You farted and started it all, didn't you?
Or, is this what happened the last time you shot something with a .270.... I'm betting the thong he wears was a 270 shot Leopard. Would explain a whole lot of angst and misguided anger.

Bald is no hair, and atheism is no truth. Thus, it is a lie. Thus its proponents are liars purveying the biggest lie. That of leading others from life to death.
Good night. Bald is no hair, and atheism epistemological nihilism is no truth... The rest of that is just nonsense.
