In his mind its Abraham for one. And moses, and adam for gods sake.

In coggys mind it comes down to the FACT that since the Bible says its the word of god well then Damnit, it must be the word of god.

Circular reasoning abounds and when we call him on it were just wasting CPU cycles.

Will you actually respond to those who are asking you valid questions or are you just going to waste time with us in the peanut gallery?

Hey, don't knock them till you've tried them. They give Loran clever lyrics. Isn't that right fellows?

LMAO

Yeah, we (who have commented) all interpreted what you wrote to mean that you've talked with others and have a similar esteem of me, but now you're claiming you meant something else... and we're at fault? What you did is called a "misplaced modifier." You might want to look that up and consider it next time you write so as not to be so widely misunderstood.

The English language has not the adjectives needed to describe the kind of dumbass that you present here from one post to the next.

You crack me up though. I'll give you that.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Baloney. Either you are seriously inept at constructing sentences in English, or you are trying to backtrack. It could be the former, though that would be odd, given how much you claim to read on a daily basis. Personally, I vote that it's the latter, since you have used this rhetorical tactic before, saying things like, "folks, this is all he brings to the table!", and other such stuff, thus implying that you believe you are speaking to an audience. So, who are these other like-minded people, Loran? Who are these people who are so illuminated by all your observations? We are all waiting for your answer, and you can rest assured that you will be hounded until you give it. Once again: put up or shut up.

OK, I'll make this clear to even the dimmest bulbs in the room (and you know who you are). Here's the sentence suitably rephrased to make clearer what I meant.


Whether your an idiot or not I don't know. I do think that you, along with some others here, are a poseur who talks a really good game about "reason", "evidence", and "logic", but can't stand and deliver when your called out. In other words, you've picked up standard anti-religious can't from Sagan, Hawking, and Dawkins, modified it to apply to the church, and used it as a club.

Beyond that, where's the substance?



OK Scratch, you can stop your moral grandstanding now. Or, we can argue about this less than perfectly constructed sentence for another six pages. That may give Schmo time to think up some intellectually substantive or meaningful propositions or set of statements about something.

For crying out loud, Loran. Did you not pass the sixth grade? Your sentence should read thusly:

"I do think that you are a poseur, along with some others here, who talks a really good game...etc."

If you cannot even understand these very, very basic, simple, sixth-grade-level fundamentals of the English language, do you really think that anyone ought to take your other, homespun, whack-job notions seriously? Go back to school, Loran. Get an education. Learn some humility.

Sure, as soon as you tell me who all the "other folks" are....
