Are you always this thick? Since you asked... I'm only this thick on Monday and the later half of Wednesday. ;D -- But since you seem to have it covered most of the time; I felt compelled to cut back on my hours. |

Cor blimey, what is this - a war?
Y'know Slarti have you considered what's at stake here? The answer is ... nothing!!
Let's say you utterly defeat and humiliate Dib and completely trash the Bible (in reality you're achieving neither). What difference will that make in the global - or indeed cosmic - scheme of things? Will your rhetorical defeat of Dib and your "proof" that the Bible is a lot of codswallop result in the Bible being laughed out of human existence and relegated to the status of the Tooth Fairy?
I very much doubt it! All it will achieve is possibly a microscopic increase in the total quantum of hubris on planet Earth.
And let's consider the flip side: that Dib completely exposes your professed "atheism" as nothing more than a shallow antitheism and completely vindicates the Bible. What difference will that make in the cosmic scheme of things? Will it result in the realisation of all the Biblical prophecies? Will there really be more joy in heaven? How would I know? Will the fact that Dib wins an online "debate" with slarti on an online discussion board bring about the Second coming and the New Jerusalem?
Get a grip, the pair of you.

The answer is Life, Universe, everything!
We are unlikely to find it here, but you have to start somewhere.

So you'd start here?
On a discussion board that isn't even devoted exclusively to neither the realms of science or religion?
With people who aren't authorities on either subject?
...Not really interested in the answers, are ya? ;D

I would have said 24/7 for you. Exactly. Which only supports the notion in post #25. |
