    The Existence Of Morality

    in Religion

    Posted

    I am not debating you.You haven't got the knowledge base to debate the topic. You haven't got the set of skills necessary to make a solid logical and reasonable construct. Like I said earlier, it would take years and study and a desire to understand how to formulate idea's without contradiction for you to gain the skill set to work your way up a philosophical system from a starting premise. Your brain got broken somewhere along the line. Superstition had something to do with it. It is unproductive to you, surely, to have me tell you are wrong, but sometimes I just have to point out drivel when I see it and I haven't got the next few years free to teach you how to see why.
    Translation: "I'm way out of my league, so I'll turn the tables and make him feel like he is." Well played...I think.Oh and how bout coming up with a new slang term for God, the whole zombie mystical dragon lord warrior thing is getting old, not offensive, just old and repetitive. I'm sure you can think of something waaaaaaaay better than that.

    You say that because i sometimes express doubt about the probability of success of my team then that means I am a fair weather fan? Poor logic, IMO.
    actually i say it because you express A LOT of doubt and flip flop A LOT. Then you come in here and talk about how awesome your so called pre-season "prediction" was. Perfect logic IMO.

    First quote was BEFORE the season started and was about my predictions for the season...which have been correct so far.Second quote was a comment after a losing streak when i thought my prediction might not hold up.Thankfully, my prediction has been right so far - I'm really enjoying watching this team play. I have tickets for the game this friday and I can't wait to go.
    I just love the flip-flopiness of your posts, classic fair weather fan speak.

    The dialogue going on in this thread is exactly why I basically just, as you see it, "hurl insults". It is impossible, I repeat impossible to have a meaningful discussion with someone who resides in "faith" or "god did it". This is not my first rodeo when it comes to debate or argument concerning religion. I know when things are just going to go the path of "my superstition has a perfect out when it comes to any contradiction or absurdity, (insert magic being here)!I could trudge out every absurdity ever pointed out in your bible (or any other holy book) by "my own work" or the work of others, list them out in chronological order, cite them, annotate them, bring out experts in science and history and logic, philosophers on ethics and being, mathematicians and logical geniuses... and have them each give a dissertation on their respective problems with your (or any other superstitions) staggeringly unreasonable position relating to god or gods... I could do all of this (as some people literally have), and all of it means nothing in the face of "faith" or "god did it".
    this would be a fine explanation if you didn't actually start threads with titles like "Magic Zombie Receeds," and "Hey idiots." You start threads with insults, not with the intention of having a conversation, so how do you know that "things are just going to go the path of "my superstition has a perfect out when it comes to any contradiction or absurdity?" Don't get me wrong, I don't ever take you seriously, and you've never ruffled my feathers...I actually find your posts pretty hilarious and harmless (to anyone other than yourself). I actually look forward to your threads because what you do and why you do it are pretty transparent, I just love reading the reactions to them.

    Vacating Wins..

    in Sports- Football

    Vacating wins is the biggest joke punishment ever. In regards to the Alabama situation this quote pretty much sums it up..."Unless a school has to vacate a National Championship, I really don't see how vacating past wins is any sort of punishment for a college football program. Either you think the rules they broke are serious enough to penalize them now, or it's pure B.S. Does Alabama have to return any of the bowl revenues they earned during the seasons where they made it to the post season, allegedly between the 2005 and 2007 seasons? That would include one Independence Bowl, where they probably lost money to begin with and a Cotton Bowl, which had to be a profitable venture.Do they have to return any of the TV money they received from the SEC during those years where these infractions took place? Not likely. So it's either a big deal, or it's not a big deal. Do I think it's a good idea to have the book sale that their student athletes are alleged to have had? No. Do I think it's worth vacating wins for something like that? No, because if that's the only penalty, that they have to break out the white out for next year's media guide, a.) no one really cares and b.) no one is going to remember."

    Is It A Sin If...

    in Religion

    Posted

    you kill insects?Do they have souls? If I purposely killed a bug does that make me bad in the eyes of the Lord? Is there a way for me to be forgiven?I was thinking about this last night when I aggressively killed the largest flying beetle I had ever seen. He somehow came to be in our house and he freaked me out so I took my shoe and beat him to death. I felt no sorrow or sadness, the damn thing scared the crap out of me and we don't allow bugs to just move in.It made me remember when I was a youngin', back when I was learning how to count to really high numbers, and I would practice by killing ants with my soccer ball on the driveway and count them as they perished. So my question is, since I am not the Christian, is if this is a sin? Or does it only work for killing humans. I mean, aren't all creatures gods creatures? Or are bugs the work of the devil? ( it wouldn't surprise me since I really hate bugs and believe they are evil) I really don't know what the answer is. I think I do but I have been wrong before so instead of making an assumption I would like to hear what others think.

    I count and recount words and phrases, using different methods, until I find a way to make it have exactly 3x. Like right now, I am looking at the full contact poker logo. First try (by letter): FUL LCO NTA CTP OKE RSecond try (counting the "FCP" that is imbedded in the poker chip that makes up the "O"): FUL LCO NTA CTP FCP KERGot there. It almost never takes three whole tries. Again: MOR EHO LDE MWI SDO MFO RAL LPL AYE RSReboot: MOR EHO LD' EMW ISD OMF ORA LLP LAY ERSVictory.
    HOLY CRAP!!! I can't believe there are more than one of us out there. Seriously, I can't believe I'm not the only one who does this!! I will also count out the letters in a sentence or phrase until they match my age, right now I'm 33 so the 3x works perfect. LMAO I can't believe I'm sharing this.

    .Question though, as last time I did such a deposit, i was also kinda inquisitioned when I brought the check in. What do you typically respond to these people?
    I once had a teller ask me about my deposits (Pokerstars) because there were like 4 in the matter of a week (sports betting thread losses :club: ). I told him they were for a poker site, and we proceeded to have a 20 min. discussion on the WSOP. He was a 20-something kid, so I knew he wouldn't make a big deal out of it. My bank seems fairly loose with poker/sportsbetting deposits as I'm sure they have somewhat of an idea what they are. Small town local banks ftw!
