"I do suck up RAW's and Mal-2's dogma"


"that's all that needsto be said, really.

ECH,
thinks you ought to try thinking for yourself sometime. you might find it addictive"

I suck up their dogma because I like it, and decided to.  You don't think it was MY choice to suck up their dogma?  That was the point.  I don;t think you can read the Trilogy and not think for yourself at the end, unless you decided to discredit the book and not suck up anything from it, like Cain and TGRR.

Fixed, for more obvious example of stupidity.

Nice one, makin yourself Moses or Mohammed hahaha.

Well, it's kinda true, except with the Bible it'd be more like believing in God and all that jazz.  And if you do accept the shit in the Bible, then yeah, you're obviously going to believe in God by the end of the book.

Oh, and Mohammed didn't discredit Jesus' teachings.  He is the most quoted prophet in the Koran.

your factoids aren't impressive. i've met muslims that know less about their religion than president bush does.

and nice Strawman Fallacy.

i know it doesn't look impressive, but it's only a flaccid fallacy.

read the above underlined and tell me how that doesn't relate to unimpressive factoids of yours.

and for your own records, yes. muhammed did denounce a lot of Jesus' Teachings.
i.e "I am the son of God", "No one goes to the Father, but through me..." or that wacky part where jesus says that the Ten commands and all rabbinical law are mute, because he is the son of god and he says so.

just sayin (that you're still a fucking retard)

This is all besides the point, because anyone who sucks up dogma is a dogmatist - no matter if its from RAW, Jesus or Scientology.  Its all the same crap, someone elses ideas that you parrot because it makes you feel good. 

Way to go in surrenduring your mind, monkey-boi

note how he daftly picks and chooses what to respond to

it's a slightly sedimented opinion of mine that the first thing to observe when understanding a person is their animal-level behaviour. moreso then just pack-status mentality, though...

Well, aren't YOU just the little psychologist. :lol:

Jumping on ideas you disagree with is dogmatism?

Really?

Being anti dogmatic is a form of dogmatism, just like the middle path of Buddhism is a kind of extreme, and Communism is a form of government.
