Oh please! This guy is too much! HA-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! He wants us to worship chink cartoons and queer music from the north pole over the Holy Bible?!! OH stop! You're killing me!! HAHAHAHA!

Really this eurotrash homer is the biggest tool to stumble in here in a long time!

Friend, can you read?

There's a high likelihood that's debatable. Let's see what he's said so far...

I used to be an atheist, before realising agnosticism is really more valid.

Yes I copied and pasted from another forum.

Yes, my thinking was influenced to a limited degree by Swedish metal music and Japanese anime.

And my favorite;

the ideas demostrated in my essay probably aren't original.

How can something "probably" not be original? Either you thought about it (original) or it was acquired by another source (unoriginal). I'm not sure if the elevator goes all the way to the top if you know what I mean.

Re: My thoughts.

1: Yes I copied and pasted from another forum. I don't claim not to have; why do you think I put inverted commas around the passage?

Usually one puts quotation marks (that's what they're called, not "inverted commas") around someone else's work. So, I will assume you actually quoted someone else's work, which you did not credit.

Plagiarism is stealing. Stealing is a sin.

2: Yes, my thinking was influenced to a limited degree by Swedish metal music and Japanese anime. So what? Sometimes such things can be very insightful. If all you can do is mock my sources, rather than coming up with a coherent counter-argument, then you're in no position to judge me.

But your sources are so easy to mock. Have you even read any of the philosophy you mangle, or do you just worship your cartoons?

3: Sure, the ideas demostrated in my essay probably aren't original. They almost certainly have been voiced by one philosopher or another in the past. Again, so what? I don't claim to be some kind of great, progressively thinking philosopher, and I never have. All I'm doing is stating the philosophy which I believe in in my own words. Which really is no different to what you Christians do.

We don't state a philosophy. We believe God's Word.

You steal other people's ideas and pass them off as your own in loquacious diatribes, which you may or may not have actually written.

4: The quote is present. Look for the part about Project 2501. The fact that you missed it goes to show that you're obviously unfamiliar with Ghost In The Shell and further reduces the validity of your mockery of my "cartoon quoting".

Admittedly, I don't watch cartoons. If I were a preadolescent, I might. However, before trying to address the grownups, I'd probably do a little homework and find real sources, not cartoons and Swedish bands.

5: I fully expected condemnation. I just happened to have the balls to go ahead anyway.

Or rudeness, as Sister BTB has pointed out.

6: I stated clearly that I'm agnostic. How can what I said be "God-hatred" if I'm uncertain God exists at all?

If you are not with God, you are against God. You reject His Word, His Sacrifice, and His Love.

Luke 11:23
He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

7: I don't see anything wrong with trying to stimulate debate between people of different belief. If "True Christians" are so touchy about being contradicted, then maybe they'd think twice before putting "Unsaved Welcome" on the banner of their site.

This explains your reliance upon cartoons for information. You have poor reading comprehension.

Kindly re-read the banner at the top of the page. What does it say? Where does it say, "Unsaved Welcome"?

Even Homer nods and so does Deaner.

Something can very easily "Probably not be original".

I'll give you some examples:

You see, I just thought to myself that the True Christians were becoming more silly all the time. And it occured to me that many others may have thought the same thing -- so therefore it was "probably not original".

And yes it turns out that I'm right. Many others are thinking the same! That instead of the serious and intelligent argument one use to get from some folk it is now just a lot of pseuds playing one upmanship -- "look at me aren't I clever".

Have you gone completely off the deep end? Of course they're called "inverted commas", you ridiculous 'tard. Are you a complete and total cretin? There is simply no argument about it from either a prescriptive or descriptive point of view. Quotation marks are inverted commas.

And of course one can put inverted commas around one's own work. If you are assuming plagiarism that is because you are a retard who plainly doesn't understand the word. Plagiarism is claiming someone else's work as your own. He hasn't done that.

The banner on top of the main site says "Unsaved Unwelcome", 'tard. Do you need new spectacles?

Your posts boil down to one line:

"LOOK AT ME AREN'T I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLEVER!"

When can we expect some new material?

[Rachael Van Helsing]

Re: My thoughts.

Actually, I'll have to agree with Hairy here. They are called inverted commas. Because they aren't only used to quote. The same symbols are, of course, used to define things like speech in the written words, and they have other handy uses, as you are no doubt already well aware, lol.

"LOOK AT ME AREN'T I SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CLEVER!"

You seem in rather an edgy mood, Hairy. Anything troubling you?

Bloody Xians are troubling me.

They are called inverted commas because that is what everyone including the dictionaries calls them and that's what they are!

It's a smallish point, I know, but if I were to be more t the point, I may be back in quarantine and that's no fun when Vinnie isn't there.

Really? Never heard the term used. Ever. In 35 years. Probably because I'm American, and it's a British term.

But I'll take your word on it, since apparently you know all. Except Jesus, the only thing that matters.

Will your professed superiority serve you well as you are roasting in eternal Hellfire?

And of course one can put inverted commas around one's own work. If you are assuming plagiarism that is because you are a retard who plainly doesn't understand the word. Plagiarism is claiming someone else's work as your own. He hasn't done that.

He acknowledged that he cut and pasted it from another forum. So perhaps it's his, perhaps it's not. PTFA.

The banner on top of the main site says "Unsaved Unwelcome", 'tard. Do you need new spectacles?

That'd be what I was pointing out to him, asking where it said, as he stated, "Unsaved Welcome".

Again, PTFA. Or get that matted hair out of your eyes.

When can we expect some new material?

I could ask the same.

Thank you.

If you actually read what the definition of Nihilism is, you would not have made that reply my friend. True Nihilism is the acceptance of Nothingness. I truly believe that there is no higher goal, no afterlife, nothing. When someone can truly accept that their life is just that, THEIR LIFE, then you may get a small glimpse as to the world on a grander scheme and appreciate the things that you do have. Therefore one creates THEIR own goals, be they materialistic or spiritual.

I also find it funny that you would ask for my inheritance if I were to end my own life. Thank you for the request, but at this moment, I do not plan on leaving my life on my own accord. But it raises the question, "Would asking for my inheritance to better fund a religious organization be considered greed?"

Especially if it were from someone who is Misjudged and labeled a Gothtard?

If I asked you to leave your funds to ME, then it would be greed.

I'm asking you instead to leave your assets to a charitable organization from which I derive no financial -- merely spiritual -- benefit, that more people may be reached with the message of Jesus' unconditional love.

[xtort (On Moderation)]

Re: My thoughts.

Yet you consider yourself part of said "organization". And YOU are asking Me for my funds. The question of monetary gain is not the aspect, you do though, hope to benefit from my death. Moreover you are asking me for my funds if I were to die. Therefore you want me to donate, to make your organization better, to suit your own needs better. Therefore YOU DO GAIN. Therefore it is greed. Don't dance around the subject and just accept that this is my opinion, and I am not attempting to make you think any different. But don't tell me that greed constricts itself to a financial aspect. Greed is all around us in many many many other forms than economics.
