Arguing with OrdinaryClay or Paisley?
Here is a video that sums of my experiences in trying to communicate with them.
Theism is why we can't have nice things.

Hmmm... so... it makes no sense, is mindnumbingly repetetive, hurts my brain, and I had to stop halfway through so I wouldn't break my computer monitor. Am I about on track for the appropriate response?
Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

Where ... how ... WHY did you find that? That, uh, "media presentation" has not a single redeeming feature.
Fuck.
In other news, I'm done with Paisley. He's a troll.

I'm glad that I seem to have communicated my feelings here well.
Yeah. That's why I gave up on him. He refuses to engage in any kind of intelligent conversation. Everything he does is constantly coloured by his monomaniacal dualism. He refuses to acknowledge any other point. He casually brushes aside any evidence against his position using a bizarre combination of clever sophistry and ignorance. Catch him in a contradiction and he denies it; show him competing hypotheses and he rationalizes them away. And he's only getting worse as his position erodes.
If he weren't so fucking arrogant he might actually provide interesting discussion. I think that's the most frustrating part for me.

It shouldn't surprise you to know that I'm not the least bit interested in your video or problems.
And I doubt most people here are the least bit interested in your reaction, especially in your lack of interest...
If you are that uninterested, why did you even bother to post in this thread??

The path to Truth lies via careful study of reality, not the dreams of our fallible minds - me
From the sublime to the ridiculous: Science -> Philosophy -> Theology
treat2, are you Paisley, OrdinaryClay, or both?
I don't see much else reason for you to respond to this thread, especially the way you did.
Theism is why we can't have nice things.
I fixed that for you.

...............AAAAAAAHHHHH! It was horrible, but I couldn't stop watching it! Why?!
It was almost as bad as reading Paisley's posts in the placebo thread! Edit: It hurts your brain, but you can't stop reading them....
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
WTF???
Oh wait, that's right... that's usually my reaction to anything Paisley or OrdinaryClay posts.
You all clearly didn't watch the video.
(Just playin' around. That is Paisley's favorite line.)
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
British General Charles Napier while in India
Unfortunately for my brain, I did. I feel a little dumber now. Just dumb enough to use the word dumber in the wrong context.

Couldn't have put it better.
He's one of those that says "all the evidence points to God" and then when you show him all the evidence that contradicts that just shrugs and fabricates some explanation of how it's not applicable.
"Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven. Whiles, like a puff'd and reckless libertine, himself the primrose path of dalliance treads. And recks not his own rede."
I liked the music. Gabber music is really nice to juggle to.
Am I the only one who saw frylock in that vid?
