As far as the God thread goes... I'm completely right. If someone claims to not believe something exists, they are to not acknowlege it, not offer their opinions about it. example: "Flying cars don't exist, but let me tell you about them..."That is a syntactical error.If you do not acknowlege someting existing, you cannot claim to know information about that something. This is 100% true.By him telling me about God, he simultaneously verified his belief in God.

I disagree here. I looked but couldn't find the other thread with the God stuff, but it depends on what was said. I don't believe in God myself, but I can certainly discuss my knowledge of what Christians think God is or has done or whatever. I can acknowledge that Christians think Jesus was the son of God and that he died for our sins, but that doesn't mean I believe its true.

If you don't believe in something, then to you, it doesn't exist. No discussion of the item (that you don't believe in) whatsoever. You believe in Jesus, because history shows he was a real human. Therefore you can talk about him.However, you don't believe in God, so no mentioning of the characteristics of God is allowed. By you guys merely mentioning anything about God, you are supporting your belief in the existence of God.This is so obvious it hurts.You may talk about others' beliefs. But to talk of God when you don't believe in God is just plain ludicrous. Again, this is so blatantly, logically true that it hurts. Now I don't give a you-know-what if you guys believe in God or not, because I know he exists, so it just doesn't matter. But I'm just letting you guys know that you are mentioning God's characteristics, and therefore you are verifying your belief. ie: How can something that doesn't exist have characteristics?In my case it helps, but you do not need a genius-level IQ to realize this.

I know that girl, she's a lot of fun.

You believe in her, so you have every right to talk about her.I don't believe in "Alison", so therefore I will not sit here and try to tell you anything about "Alison". Thanks for proving my point!

If you don't believe in something, then to you, it doesn't exist.Obviously.However, you don't believe in God, so no mentioning of the characteristics of God is allowed. By you guys merely mentioning anything about God, you are supporting your belief in the existence of God.That's ridiculous. I can discuss the characteristics that others think a supposed God has very easily. By talking about God, I'm not supporting his existance, I'm simply acknowledging that the person I'm discussing God with believes that God exists. That's it.You may talk about others' beliefs. But to talk of God when you don't believe in God is just plain ludicrous.Its all beliefs. Your belief in God is just that, a belief, something made on faith. So if I choose to talk about the God you believe in, I'm not saying it exists, but simply that you believe he does. That doesn't mean anything. Again, this is so blatantly, logically true that it hurts. Now I don't give a you-know-what if you guys believe in God or not, because I know he exists, so it just doesn't matter. But I'm just letting you guys know that you are mentioning God's characteristics, and therefore you are verifying your belief.Again, all I would be doing is verifying that you believe God has certain characteristics. That's it. In my case it helps, but you do not need a genius-level IQ to realize this.Does patting yourself on the back make you feel better?

In my case it helps, but you do not need a genius-level IQ to realize this.Well, you should probably have that guy post then. It'd save us all a lot of suffering reading your 6th grade writing level ramblings.My IQ is 184. I win.Haha.

"The God I believe in?" LOL. That makes no sense. Are you talking about the beliefs I believe are to be morally followed, or a deity? If you acknowlege the "God I believe in", then you are acknowleging that there is a God. You really don't get it, do you? Just accept the fact that you accidentaly let-on to the fact that you acknowlege God, which means you believe in God. Your comments, like at the poker table, were a big TELL. It's too late -- you already made them. Bad poker face... And by the way... what characteristics do I believe God has? lol. I don't ever remember saying anything along those lines."My God is 6'3" 225 and bowls a 260 average." LOL. I have no thoughts along this line.Smash, if your IQ is 184, then congrats. God made you real well. What I don't understand is, with a 184 IQ, how you can't comprehend basic logic. Most geniuses are logicians.

What I don't understand is, with a 184 IQ, how you can't comprehend basic logic. Most geniuses are logicians.So true. A wise man would probably pause and consider the possiblity they were missing something when arguing with one.Not you, though!

alright enough of the God talk. I know I'm right, logically. Let's keep it poker.

alright enough of the God talk. I know I'm right, logically.Your not. Not even vaguely close.If you were, when people talked about "The Sopranos" they'd all believe there was a real family living in New Jersey doing what was on the TV show.Seeing how you think there's an invisible man in the sky because it was written in a book, I can see how it would be difficult for you to grasp the diffrence.

you still want to talk God? lol. for someone who claims to not believe in the concept... "An invisible man in the sky"??? Where did that come from? I never said that.People can talk about the "Sopranos" because it is a show. Not a family. They're talking about members on a show, not members of a family. I believe in the show, not the family.If i see him in the street Id call him James Gandolfini, not Tony Soprano. And besides, I'm sure there is a similar family living in NJ. End of God discussion

holy shít, please stop JFarrell, im cringing for you here while reading your posts, you should have stopped so long ago and while it was endearing at first, i just feel sorry for you now :/dont think i can add to the poker content really, just stick around and bully like mad. try to convey a loose gambling type, showing bluffs maybe, if you have a few people that want to double up they wont resist after they think you're a bit of a maniac

Why feel sorry for jfarrell, Smash is the one that thinks Santa is silly.

[digitalmonkey 929]

Please, don't stop! This is too funny. I wanna be able to come back to this thread for a laugh every now and then.

Nice "poker advice" lol. "stick around and bully like mad". This probably works on 4 year old girls. PS: To those of you who want to continue that other thread, be my guest. I already said I'm done. On to poker. Sorry digitalmonkey...btw, why did you have to re-register on here???PPS or PSS, whatever: Bad beat story of the day:Im in my freeroll last night (2498 entrants). I start with 1000 and play tight first 10 or so hands. I hit a few blinds... I'm at like 875, less than where I should be after a few hands but the blinds hit me right off the bat. So anyway there's this dude who's raising like crazy. So I get dealt AA UTG. I just call (knowing this fool will raise again. he's 3 chairs down). Call, fold, then he raises to 125. fold, fold, all the way around to me, I contemplate raising here but I'm afraid he'll just throw it away since he could have anything. I call. other dude folds. Heads up on the flop (I've got him covered by 35). Flop comes 5 8 6. I check un-afraid of the possible straight since I assume he's got at least 1 high card. He fires out 150. Now I'm a little curious. So I check-raise him to 200 more (350 to go). He calls... (huh??). Turn comes another 6 for a board of 5 8 6 6. Great. "He can't have the 6" I think to myself. Not with this betting pattern. I check again (not sure why...now that I think about it). Anyway, he pushes all in for 440 more (I've got 475 left I think). OK, he can't have the 6... I doubt he's got a set... I don't think he's on a draw... he must have 2 paint cards and thinks this flop didnt help me. I call. He flips over 4-4. I flip over A-A. YES! Only a 4, or 7 will help him. That's 6 outs. River brings a 7. Yipee!....... Wonderful. I'm at 35. Next hand I get J 10 suited. I push all in in the BB. flop comes jacks and 10's I triple up. (would have made more had I had more than 35 to start). Now I'm at 105. Next hand 7-7 in the SB. I push all in (everyone folds but the guy who sucked out on me.) I double up again to 210. Next hand I get A 5 suited on the button... hmmm. I should have just called here but I figured what the hell and pushed all in. Everyone folds but one guy who shows A J off. I'm out. 15 minutes baby! YEAH!
