CloserToGod: Black Iron Prison Rebuttal

[Cain]

Sounds like 90% of all reporting, so its probably right.

[AFK]

That's pretty much true.  I don't think he really asked us any questions when he came.  It was more him making proclomations of what we were doing and then when we called bullshit and asked him to 'splain, he said "uh uh, I don't have to"
He has the debating tactics of a 3-year old.

I am right all too often (I'm like Roger, only not as upbeat).  It's nothing supernatural.  I just assume that people are as venal and mean-spirited as they can possibly be.  So far, I bat about .900.

Oh, he's a rejected prophet.  Those are fun.

Of course, I didn't ask you guys too many questions, either.  But that's because I am only partially interested in what's going on here.

has Laz replied to anything or is he busy re-reading The Hiram Key for the bazillionth time?

I signed his guestbook with an invitation to discuss his "findings" but thus far I've heard nothing from the guy. 

Why?  As far as I can tell, he is just some geek that thinks he's writing to an audience.

Leave the poor little fuckwad to his delusions.

This, from the guy who feels the need to smack people just for livin'?

heh.  just yankin your chain, doc.

You say that like it's a [u[bad[/u] thing.

You know, if I could get funding for smacking people, this country might be a lot better off.

[LMNO]

Hey!  Why do you get to smack people, but we have to leave Laz alone?

Good question.  I shall answer it as soon as I can think of something clever to say.

Ok, server problems have stopped me completing the install of the wiki. Lemme go kick some butt and I'll give it another go.

[Reginald Ret]

Every time i try to explain that i believe there is Reality and Truth but that it is impossible to know Reality and Truth from Illusion and Lie because of the limits of our perceptions i get looked at funny.

That stinks of Faith, you know.

That stinks of Faith, you know.

What does?

[LMNO]

"I believe there is a Reality and a Truth but I can't prove it."

[Bebek Sincap Ratatosk]

"I believe there is a Reality and a Truth but I can't prove it."

Yeah... its a tricky problem wading between think/opinion/belief/faith.

"I think that there may be an Objective Reality but I can't prove it." would probably be better, but I'd bet that's what Regret was trying to say anyway

General Semantics ITT

[Elder Iptuous]

Why does it 'stink of Faith' rather than simply be a matter of establishing postulate?
It is faith to assume that there is some objective substrate to allow subjective experience to occur?
