I had never given much consideration to the relative merit of drivel, but i do see your point . . .

Prove it. It's all by faith you make such statements.

He knows!

Little by little, Barfikus comes out of the weeds, and reveals himself for a bible thumper . . .

Mr. Setanta!

You did it! You mastered not making that mistake of saying bobble! I know if you can do that then I can surely get over my addiction to these emoticons!

You are indeed a wonderful role model. :wink:

And Bible thumpers is merely a derogatory term used against those who believe differently from themselves.

I still see you to be of equal importance to myself..... for God is no respecter of persons.

Satan on the other hand can only elevate himself(in his own mind) by looking down on others for whom do not see things as he does.

Incorrect. It's a derogatory term used against those that proselytize.

Can you perhaps take 5 minutes or so to explain exactly what you mean by the above statement?

Interesting. One could go so far as to say horses***.

Actually, "horseshet" is too good compared to what they're trying to sell.

You see things as you choose or are able just as anyone.

Hi cicerone, got that proof or that which i need to prove?No?

It is clear that men of like minds come together to bolster each others assumed authority...to make disrespectful remarks to someone who differs.

More drivel . . . and after page upon page of drivel from Barfikus, not a single cogent comment on the topic of the thread.

If what I say is seen as less than Horse manure....How will one see me?
No more. Just the same. They know better than I but do not come forth with any arguments whatsoever .....just insults and accusations.

How much authority is in that. How much meaning is in the words they choose?

So then why do you choose to respond with mere insults and nothing else. Why do you respond at all? Have you made a single cogent comment? Why do you think so? Because other people agree with you?

What are you all agreeing on?

Can you back it up with something other than insults and accusations?

NO!

If you respond to that which is less than horse manure....what does that make you?

Do you often respond to mere feces? Do you respond to the waste in your toilet bowl at home?

Perhaps if you presented something of worth, something that could even be argued then arguments would follow.

Unfortunately you seem to be satisfied to spew utter garbage and then demand we give it the honor you believe it is entitled to.

So then the purpose of responding to what I said (which is nothing) is to point out that it is nothing? Nothing to whom....you? Then it was'nt for you ok? It was for those who might see what I said as something of value! Ok?

Reread your statement:

Do you mean to say that only that which can be argued....has worth?
Why?

No?

Then what do you ever mean?

Ah, more revelation of the intent of Barfikus--rhetorical questions with the intent to bring your interlocutors into disrepute.

On October 29th, i wrote, flippanly:

This goofy thread title wrote:

That being the case, there's no reason to respond.


Subsequently, on November 7th, i wrote:

Quote:
There is actually a very pathetic aspect to the thread title. By inference, it states that a theist's life is meaningful because of the theist's belief in a deity. It externalizes the individual's sense of self-worth, and worse, identifies it with their imaginary friend, whose existence cannot be demonstrated. All rather sad, really.


So, in fact, i've added my comments on this idiotic thread long, long ago. I rather suspect that you showed up somewhere between page 90 and page 100, didn't bother to read the thread, and just started flailing away with your personal imaginary friend superstition. My original reponse to this thread, on October 29th, was in response to its character as a "have you stopped beating your wife" conundrum. Basically, John Creasy showed up with an inferential demand that atheists prove that their lives have meaning, and an assumption that all devotees of the imaginary friend supestition have meaningful lives by definition.

Then you show up, don't bother to read the thread, pay little heed to either the title or its implications, and start spouting largely meaningless mumbo-jumbo which constitutes religious sound bytes--and so i characterize your "contributions" as drivel, and assert that you have contributed no cogent comment on the topic of this thread.
