Too Funny.  Reading Jean

Too Funny.  Reading Jean Chauvin's post reminds me of the black knight in Monte Python's Quest for the Holy Grail.

Lets all remember that Jean

Lets all remember that Jean has our best interest at heart. When his God allows a Tsunami to murder 13,000 humans, not as a warning to them, but as a third party hostage to get America to kiss his ass, Japan deserved it. So I will see all of you doubters in Church on Sunday, right?

OH FUCK damned Redskins, fall is coming up. Never mind.

@ hbmbc30: He hasn't been

@ hbmbc30:
He hasn't been here all that long. And probably won't be here much longer. In my experience, his type gets bored after a year or two of getting owned.

Although he has always been a stupid asshole, when he first came on board here, he had long lengthy posts about logic and such and there were several threads he started that actually managed to last for more than one or two posts. Over time, he has just degenerated and only occasionally comes in here to fling a flew insults and disappear.

My guess is, he ran out of anything with sufficient substance to even try to argue ( although his original threads were pretty pitiful, at least they actually had SOME discussion in them, they were much like TWD and Fonzie's threads).

But now : No more real debates, no more substance, just some childish prattling and insulting, disappear for a week or two, come back, fling a few more insults and claim victory.

Granted, his posts degenerated rather quickly. (It only took a couple of months). But now he really is not worth the time of day and typing effort, in my opinion.

I think the best thing to do is just ignore him completely. Sooner or later, when he can't get anymore attention, he'll go away.

Granted, I have been guilty of trying to piss him off with insults and everything else. But for me, that time has passed and there is no reason to even fool with it.So, when he responds to this post with a lot of nonsense directed towards me, I won't even bother to read all of it. I'll just keep scrolling down the page like he's not even there.

But that's just me.

He has the right to make a complete ass out of himself ( he doesn't really need any help from us, he's doing just fine all by himself with that one) and I have the right to ignore him.

Hey Harley

Hey!

You're right, I use to argue substantial and assumed you guys are able to think in logical terms. However, I was starting to see that 99% of you didnt' even know what I was talking about. You had to google wiki in order just to understand the argument before you could respond.

And the responses were highly pathetic, off subject, and ad hominems threw around like:

"philosphy is stuipd." lol

or

"logic isn't everything with atheism."

 

As a result of me witness the public education consequence on this board, instead of wasting me time with things you don't even understand, I simply ridicule, poke fun and laugh profusely as I see the stupidity of atheism as demonstrated on this board.

And you guys said that I'm an example to Christianity being so poor, how ironic it is when the truth is real and it is you atheists who don't know what a syllogism is let alone how to refute one properly. name calling is not a refuation.

Respectfully,

I just did. There are absolutely no absolutes.

Do you agree with this absolute?

Hey,

I wear the name troll with honor with you. This is a badge among the atheist to call a person who destroy you utterly in every argument.

I'd kick you around like a bug in argument and on the streets. But I would never do that to you. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings scooter boy.

Hi OP

You've been outted as trolls for just disagreeing with them. hmmm, why does that sound so familiar. I can't put my finger on it. Outted as trolls for simply disagreeing with somebody.

Well, we would all agree in this case that this is an ad hominem attack then to out somedody as a troll just because they are agreesive and win every argument. It's a fascination essay.

I have worked with Amazon for consultation, this was a while ago.  They are pretty intense.

Anyway, back to the commend about a troll for simply disagreeing and kicking everybodie's but. Can somebody help me, I just can't get the comparison. Wait, i'm close, it's coming, here it comes, oh no I lost it.

Anyway, are you an atheist, satanist, agnostic, wiccan, from the school of thelma, panentheist, or other? Please describe other if applicable.

Troll just for disagreeing. Damn, I just can't remember why this is so familiar.

Oh wait, that's exactly why you're labelled 'troll'. Welcome, thelilith! As you can see, here it is the theists who have a lot of mouth and nothing to back it up, who are rightfully labelled trolls.

No, claiming that there are

No, claiming that there are no absolutes is not an absolute.  Claiming that there are no married bachelors is not an absolute.  The concept of a married bachelor, as well as the concept of absolute truth , is nonsensical. 

I see this argument as a staple of your Calvinism.  You claim that relativism is self defeating, but it is not.  There are no absolute truths!.  This is a fact.

Let's define the terms of the argument from a philosophical paradigm.

Oxford Dictionary

 

"Philosophy

a value or principle which is regarded as universally valid or which may be viewed without relation to other things"

 

Basically, an absolute has to be irrelative of observer or time.  If something is absolute now, it has always been an absolute, and will always be an absolute.

Truth is a concept used to validate a proposition.  An observer will use the dichotomy of true/false to subjectively validate a statement. 

From it's definition, you can equate truth with opinion.  The conclusion is that absolute truths is an incoherent term, much like a married bachelor.  Therefore, there are no absolute truths.

Do you agree with this absolute?

A) Statement B is true.

Figure that one out.

I sometimes participate in a forum for the local newspaper (which is always filled with racial and religious arguments as those are the two biggest dividing factors in my current city). But somehow the subject of absolute truth came up. I actually had this prick tell me there were 4 absolutes. I had a feeling this was going to be comical, so I asked him to please enlighten me what these FOUR absolutes are (supposedly you could live your whole life by these FOUR absolutes).

Guess what his response was ? (It's almost too dumb to type)

His four absolutes were : Always ask yourself, is it good or bad, true or false, beautiful or ugly, will it or will not hurt another. There is no room for interpretation in those four questions.

OMG.  That was so stupid that I did not even bother responding.

You should have. If it were

You should have. Sticking out tongue
If it were a conversation you had in private, he's clearly too dumb to understand how dumb he is, and walking away was the only thing to do. But in a public discussion, not answering tends to imply you can't answer, unless someone else steps up to the plate in your stead who is your equal or better in such a discussion. For such an idiotic comment as this, it's not particularly likely that someone would take the time.
In this scenario, the first part of his "truth" alone is sufficient to shut down the whole thing: "Always ask yourself".
The problem is that asking yourself is presupposing that you are the penultimate human who can do nothing wrong, ever. When combined with the remainder of the claim, it presupposes that the person asking themselves the questions has objective, accurate answers (that everyone will agree with) to the questions of beauty, truth, good, and harm of an issue. This is demonstrably false as NOTHING has ever been agreed upon by every single person who ever existed.
