A Conversation Among the Four Horsemen

[_dartagnan]

Dude... if you make me laugh, why on Earth would I be upset that others are responding to you?

I don't know, why are you?

I love that people respond to you.

Apparently you don't, and neither does marg. If you really wanted the discussion to flow, you'd just sit back, watch and learn. But you prefer yelling from the bleachers. I can't get a decent discussion off the ground with the two of you jumping in with your pom poms and snide commentary. You add nothing to the discussion, ever.

And please, stop pretending to be "laughing" in every post. Do you really think anyone believes you're doing anything except grinding your teeth when you respond to me? The "LOL" charade is obvious. Get a grip.

Again with the demonstration that you think you're clairvoyant/onmiscient. You're the one that needs to get a grip... on reality. Do you have to prove you're an arrogant ignoramus with every post?

It's rather obvious that you're the one who can't stand anyone responding to me. You want me to shut up. LOL… You're the one clearly looking for public acceptance. It appears you wish I'd shut up because you can't stand people disagreeing with you, recognizing you're a dumbass rather than being fooled by your regurgitation of nonsensical crap you've read here or there as though you think you're appearing "scholarly", and calling you on your BS. Oh no! Not everyone is impressed with you! Those who aren't must be idiots!

You can tell yourself whatever you want (as I see you tend to do, especially if it shields you from stark reality). The reason I love seeing people respond to you is because I love what they have to say in response to your idiocy. It's great stuff. And if I can have a small part in keeping that going, all the better.

You can try to suppress my laughter, but it's yet another of your lost causes. Tough luck for you. Maybe you should try laughing for once. Perhaps it would make you appear less like an uptight dumbass (although I don't realistically expect it would).

*points and laughs* *and then laughs some more* *and then some more laughing and pointing just for good measure*

LMAO

Oh good grief!

You two need to get in the sandbox and just start chucking sand at each other.

[_Mercury]

This is precisely the reason Dawkins presents more of a danger to society than religion. People like mercury are products of his preachings. And what's worse, he really does believe the trash coming out of his own mouth.

I mean let's be honest here. What have I done here except note a few errors in Dawkins' thesis and link to someone who has responded to him?

Mercury can't handle it, the same way Shmo and JAK can't handle it. They have no tolerance for any other view than their own. They have become so enamoured with Dawkins and pledged blind loyalty to his little tribe, that everyone else is immediately attacked with name-calling, sarcasm and now accused of being part of a massive religious conspiracy to somehow force you all into submission! This is exactly as Dawkins generalizes about all religious people. They have bought into the fear factor, hook line and sinker.

These arguments are straw men the same as most of Dawkins' arguments are entirely straw men. What's this nonsense about a theocratic society? And me being a proponent of one? Christianity has never supported such a thing and it never will. The only people who really believe this are the same people who say George Bush planned 9-11. I certainly don't support any theocracy, but what do I know about my own beliefs when we have real experts like mercury who can apparently analyze my "memes" and detect that I am just lying to you?

I'd like to get some input from the rational thinking atheists here. I am talking about EAllusion, Dr. Shades, chap, Trevor(?) and Tarski. People who can offer something better than "You're ignorant, shut up."

Dart, lets get something straight. You do not listen to my arguments and frankly, if I can deride you and your fanatical beliefs I get utility out of it.

There are so many patently false accusations in your reply to my childish retort that I don't know where to begin. Do I make fun of you for not accepting another opinion contrary to yours or do I start mocking the special-ed brand of truth validation?

The mind virus known as christianity has infected you. Christianity has always striven for a theological takeover of any government they can get their dumbass hands on. Look at the history of Europe for chrissakes! Kill the Meme that infects you and all that will be left is an empty shell. I pity you.

[_EAllusion]

Might want to explain to the evolutionary biologists that are theists how their minds are childish.

I'd rather not considering they far outweigh my childish mind in matters of science.

Are they attempting to use "God did it" as an explanation for anything? If so, I'd gladly explain why that is a nonstarter. Or, much more likely, I'd bring up numerous philosophers, theist and not, who would do the heavy lifting for me.

I don't know what they say or what they think beyond that I know some believe in a deity. So, if they do believe in a deity, obviously they believe that this deity did do something -- I suppose! Perhaps they think the deity put evolution into motion? I don't know what they think outside of them stating belief in a deity.

Then you can fight over the dinos.

I've got my pom poms out. I'll be cheering for both sides. :)

I don't care about the dinos... I want the volcano! Coooool!

And I must say that I'm excited about seeing your pom poms.

LOL!
I was just about to make a post: "I don't care who has the dinos. I just want to make a base in the Volcano, from which I can launch my 'lava assaults of doom'" (i.e. the ketchup I've nicked from my mums cupboard).
