Star Wars fans will know what I mean. You will want to agree with me, you want to laugh at my reference. You will.

Deny the holy spirt you

Deny the holy spirt you shall.

The force is strong in an atheist, for he is not on the dark side of the force.  Atheist is able to think for himself, Yes, The dark force of theism shall not provail.

I always found that video

I always found that video hilarious. I don't know who that guy thinks he will convince. Jedi mind tricks do not work on me.

It's a joke. It must be a joke. It's also a very good joke, because this cannot possibly be serious. LOL, it was funny too.

"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

I did think about it, which is exactlly why I reject religious beliefs. I found them to be logicaly flawed.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. - Seneca

no see the reason it did not

no see the reason it did not work aside from the fact th we are not weak minded fools is because he forgot to wave 2 fingers in front of himself much like Obi-wan did with the storm troopers in episode IV.

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm convinced. I mean, any time you repeat the last line of a monologue, it reallyl adds dramatic effect.

 Oh yes, it really adds dramatic effect!

I must say you oversimplify the scenario.
First, it wasn't another star system. It was just outside the one they'd been in. Probably equivalent to the Oort cloud in our system.
And second, Dorsk was incinerated by the Force meld.

Finally, it saddens me that I can't watch this video to get the reference. :'(

I just conveyed the story

I just conveyed the story of this video to Kelly over the last two days and have been looking to show it to her since I brought it up. I actually had to use google to find it, rather than our own search engine.

 

to search I typed: site:rationalresponders.com jedi argument

 

Use google like that if you ever have a problem searching our site or aren't a subscriber.

 

Anyway, I just wanted to bump the thread, so you all could laugh at this guy one more time. You know this video is hilarious, think about it and you will see, you will know it, this video is hilarious and it's really existing. Think about it, think about it.

Here's to hoping that our young padawan finally got himself a blue-skinned girlfriend and a clue.

It saddens me even more that I know what your talking about, but I can't remember the book... 

 

I hope that when the world comes to an end I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there will be so much to look forward to.

I don't really get what is so funny, other than the fact that the guy made the mistake of trying to argue in what is obviously not his first language.
