Alright, yes, he acknowledged the word on Nov. 22nd, but I can't even find any hint to the homeless within his post on Nov. 23rd of which you quoted, Kllrnohj. So please, Kllrnohj, what did you read from elrune on Nov. 23rd that I failed to decrypt?


His post on the 23rd that I quoted was in response to my post quoting him on the 22nd, it is a continuation of the same context. Thus what you failed to decrypt was the all important context of the post chain.
I wasn't looking at the context, I see the relationship now.

I would agree with that, but only because I believe we live in a universe that is not a purely physical universe. If we live in a purely physical universe then why should non-physical concepts have any meaning or relevance?

So yes, random particle interactions *CAN* have importance and meaning because *PEOPLE* deem them as such.

People, who are also just random particle interactions are somehow capable of assigning meaning to other random particle interactions? When in reality they aren't doing that at all, but being forced to do it by the universe's RNG?

My definition of an idiot is a creationist.

So there's the chip on your shoulder Wink By creationist are you referring here to anyone who believes that God took an active role in creating the universe, or just young earth creationists? If the first, I'd love to see you have a go at the head of human genome project.

Bwahaha, elf isn't impartial or neutral, he is every bit as biased as I am, probably more so.

The key difference being that
a) I'm not intentionally offensive
b) I make my beliefs the subject of public discussion so that those capable of offering intellectual arguments against them can attempt to change my mind. As opposed to "I won't tell you what mine are, so you can't attack them. hah."

People are made up of *apparently* random particle interactions. Those interactions give way to consciousness (which, you'll note, is abstract - not physical. Abstract still totally exists without god Rolling Eyes). That consciousness gives importance to things. Whether or not our experience is random particle interactions, predictable particle interactions, or all particle interactions (many worlds) is irrelevant in what we experience.

Its no different that a house. A house is static and made up of smaller materials interacting, but it is a vital part of making our interactions not suck. You keep zooming back in on the building materials. What something is made of has no bearing on its resulting structure. Structure is importance. Structure gives meaning.

By creationists I mean all forms of creationists (including ID) except those that take modern science and theories and then just bolt on a "by god's design" (or something similar) without truly changing or modifying the theory in any way.

a) True, but its also quite possible I'm having more fun than you because of it Razz

b) You are the one who tried to pin beliefs onto me rather than simply attacking the position I took. But, for what its worth, I would describe my true beliefs as apathetic agnostic atheist.

That doesn't make it right, pleasant or improve your argument. It simply shows that you are unable to separate your ego from your posts. If you want to have fun, i'm sure theres any number of other things you could be doing.

No, it doesn't.

FYI, forums are typically either the source of A) information, or B) entertainment. I'm here for B, how about you?

Yes, it does.
You are offensive on purpose to make yourself feel good. Sounds egotistic to me.

Deriving entertainment from abusing others is not a neutral and polite thing to do. It is entertaining the ego and improving nothing but your immediate mood.

Again, no it doesn't. It may sound egotistic to you because you don't know the definition of the word, but that doesn't make it so.

Of course you wouldn't, we've already established you lack reading comprehension.

My self-importance isn't in this thread, nor have I exhibited an "exaggerated sense of self-importance".

Also, I'd say that Elf and I are on rather equal ground.


Just because the ground we are on is higher than the ground you are on doesn't make it exaggerated.

I can't see the logic here.

Nor here.

And, and allow Kerm to correct me here if I am wrong, I understand the Politics section is for people who can keep a level head through their arguments and argue politely as well as discuss their beliefs, not to abuse others and derive entertainment from that.

But hey, if that is what Cemetech supports, I could be wrong.
