True skeptics are 'conspiracy theorists'

[jsfisher]

Given the many errors at which you have arrived, perhaps it is time that you should investigate His credentials.

Björn Toulouse, I think you neglected to compensate for DJJ's reluctance to punctuate. I interpreted his statement to mean he learned Prophecy Mathematics, [Prophecy] Biology, [Prophecy] Geology, [Prophecy] Astronomy, [Prophecy] Philosophy, and [Prophecy] History, along with Theology Physics.

Theology Physics was, no doubt, his favorite.

...You tell yourself that we must be "all about nothing" because the alternative is having to admit that you are wrong about so very many things. Because I don't have my head lodged firmly up my own butt I've been able to learn that there are a lot of very fine people on this forum with many and varied experiences and ideas. You wouldn't know it because you only seem to care about yourself, but a number of people who have pointed out your errors are not atheists.

Even those who are atheists have a great many things in their lives that they care deeply about. Family and friends, husbands and wives, children, pets, science, arts, sports, beauty etc. They are concerned with the betterment of humanity and the suffering of fellow human beings. They are concerned with justice and politics and education. They are curious about the world around them and want to know the real answers to questions about the nature of the universe rather than what they would like the answers to be. They are good people who will help others out when they can. I've seen people on this forum offer help to others in need myself...

I still think DJJ has suffered a temporal lobe seizure at least once in his life. That is yet another of my many questions he has never answered.

Geschwind syndrome is controversial and fascinating.

You also see something like this in LSD users.

There is some anecdotal theorizing that they become hyposexual, hypergraphic, and religious.

As for it being a good fit with DJJ:

Usually, it's hyposexuality. but variable. no fit.
Hyperreligiosity fits.
Stickiness fits.
Emotional volatility fits.
Hypergraphia with indifferent quality fits.
Having fits fits.

I'm not serious.

But you have called your own god that. You were the one bragging about all of the people who died after persecuting you and driving you out of a school system for protesting a pro-suicide book (which apparently never existed). I would call that a mass-murdering SOB.

So, he lied about the pro-suicide book? What's the deal?

Edward R. Murrow started the This I believe series. Now it's on NPR.

I suggest we answer DJJ by naming some of the things we believe in.

A while back, I wrote a long whimsical list.

Maybe something shorter and more straightforward?

I believe in the fact/value distinction.

I believe in truth, but not the pragmatic concept of it...

oh heck...

love, sincerity, art, loyalty, science, math, good writing, honesty, seeing things from the other person's pov, neurology, materialism, evolution, the universe, consciousness, being a good-enough dad, correcting my mistakes, self-absorbed selflessness, nature, ecology...

Coltrane, Cannonball, Miles, Mozart, Beethoven, Bartok, Schoenberg, Hendrix, Jarrett, Schubert, Handel...

for starters.

I believe in Mr. Grieves.

 

[Foster Zygote]

I believe that the universe is a staggeringly beautiful, wondrous and dangerous place that we will only ever understand fragments of.

Actually I am just a missionary and that was always my goal, giving my life for Jesus.

Oh yes Jesus, a so-called son of a so-called god, a person who is now dead, so he now has the complete advantage of, not saying anything wrong, doing anything wrong, has no bad breath, doesn’t fart, doesn’t have BO, doesn’t take a piss and/or dump. A perfect person, who because he is dead, can be anything you want him to be.

Paul

Awesome.

So, Jesus tells you to lie?

Why won't you be a missionary here? Did Jesus tell you to be a missionary everywhere except for the Internet?

He doesn't want to save anyone. He only wants for himself. That's why he bears false witness, spouts false prophecies, and defames and insults. He's not interested in spreading the Gospel, just scoring points on the internet.
Pretty much a useless kind of "Christian" to me. If you can call him that. Just a braggard and poser, nothing more.

 

[Damien Evans]

The " I can't believe I read the whole thing" award

yeah, that could work


Time to post kittens yet?

Actually it's Mathematical Prophecy because it is so precise and exact.

Just as you would expect from the Creator of the Universe

Posting kittens is confirmation that I have won the logical argument and debate, and that you are again frustrated when you can't connect up anything in life, and can;t find answers.

Thanks for the admission but it is rather obvious.

If you're so precise with your math, how come you keep having to round so generously and change your dates around?

Jim, sl;andering my name, doesn;t score you points, but if you became a true missionary then you would.

Step by step and precept by precept the Lord shows more and more.

And accordingly, I have about four new prophecy posts that bring more truths in timing together. Stay tuned, but NOT HERE, this is the anti-conspiracy board, and so POST appropriately how dumb the anti-conspiracy people are and always will be.

I am a full time missionary on the internet 24/7 as our websites, are on continuously ... with over 1.5 million visitors.

I can show you how to start, better late than never but first you have to KNOW the LORD.

No, I don't think I'll be talking about that at all. For one thing, I think it's a load of hooey.

I wouldn't mind if you presented a decent reason why "true skeptics" should ignore where the evidence leads in favor of believing whatever conspiracy theory rolls down the pipe, though.

It's only slander if it isn't true.

Sorry, you lose.
