If it was not so pathetic ... I could actually laughed.
What's the matter? Nervous because you were caught?

No ... this is called being arrogant is ...
You want to see God but you don't want to take the trouble to do so ...

So I'm arrogant now am I? Why is that, because I won't fall for your double-talk?
Here let me look inside of me for God.
I'll check down by my spleen, no nothing here.
How about my bladder--nothing the slightest bit supernatural happening there.
Wait, wait there's God!!! I've found him. He's sitting at a card table having coffee and bagels with Mithra, Buddha and John Fromm the cargo cult deity. Gee, what part of me are all these Gods in? Why, it's my imagination, my sordid imagination.

It is even funnier than you consider yourself has no bearing in this matter since this is you I'm trying to prove to.
Do you actually find people gullible enough to believe these lines you are using? I would think that you get laughed at a lot.

You forgot something ... HOW to proof to someone (except by talking) who is half across the world?
You are doing just as good a job as you would if you were sitting next to me.

Only way I could think of is talking about it, including your emotions on the subject and you are already showing your side of emotions which is not needed.
By bringing my emotions into a conversation about existential evidence of some being you demonstrate that you are being disingenuous and deceitful. I urge you not to do such things in the future.
My emotions are evidence of my mental and physical state. They have no bearing on whether or not something exists.

Only moral thing I could think of doing now is leave you alone with your own thoughts ... when you finish running around, MAYBE then you will like to talk.
In other words you are going to run for it.
Don't worry I'm not going to call the police to have them cane you. I'm just going to urge you to be honest and cease making claims that you cannot support.

Hmph ... how arrogant you are ...
You think a person is arrogant because they know that they don't have a low IQ? Because they know how to obtain information? Because they aren't insecure?
Is that your game? Keep telling people how stupid they are until they believe it themselves. Then when you hand them a ridiculous God story they will swallow it because they think that they are too stupid to understand it?

You think having access to knowledge of the greatest minds on the Planet is enough to make you smart? Nope ... it just make you delusional.
Delusional? I'm not the one who believes in an invisible super-hero who lives on the other side of the sky.
I'm at least as intelligent as you are because I'm not falling for your scam.
You still have to go through the process of understanding it. Can you understand EACH and EVERY thing you had read, seen and talk about?
I'm having no trouble understanding you. I've seen right through you.

The thing is with negative emotion is that the more you indulge in it, bigger it grews till it overwhelms you.
Do you have to learn to hate before you can learn to love? It seems that in your case, you will find out ...

Funny boy.
My emotions are just fine. As I write this I am laughing…laughing at you. You can't back up a single word you say so you want to portray me as hateful. Do you know what is hateful Seraphim? Being dishonest with people is hateful. Apparently it has already overwhelmed you.

I don't need to make me feel good about myself. And I just realized that I don't have any morale obligations to make you feel good about yourself either.
You don't need to make yourself feel good by developing a personal policy of being honest with people? Did you actually mean to write that, or did it just come out wrong?
You appear to get off by inflating your ego by associating yourself with a God. With a bit more self-aggrandizing by pretending that you have esoteric knowledge unavailable to the rest of we mortals with our "limited knowledge" and our "limited intelligence." The implication being that yours is not.
But from your anger and the viscous attack once your game was exposed I'd say that you weren't even fooling yourself. You know it's a fake or you wouldn't try so hard to obscure it.
Once again I urge you cease making claims that you cannot support.

What's the matter? Nervous because you were caught?
Boy ... you wouldn't catch me even If you sprout wings and learn to fly.

So I'm arrogant now am I? Why is that, because I won't fall for your double-talk?

No ... you are arrogant because You not willing to discuss something which could prove you being wrong YET don't seems to find any problem talking against it either.

Do you actually find people gullible enough to believe these lines you are using? I would think that you get laughed at a lot.

The problem here is you ... Not God. So where to look for the solution? With you also.
Don't believe that ... Tough.

You are doing just as good a job as you would if you were sitting next to me.

WRONG ... How very wrong are you ...
If we met face to face, bub, it will be a whole different story.

By bringing my emotions into a conversation about existential evidence of some being you demonstrate that you are being disingenuous and deceitful. I urge you not to do such things in the future.

No ... I'm showing you where the problems lies and it is you who is being deceiftul to yourself.

My emotions are evidence of my mental and physical state. They have no bearing on whether or not something exists.
You dare to find out if you're wrong?

In other words you are going to run for it.
Don't worry I'm not going to call the police to have them cane you. I'm just going to urge you to be honest and cease making claims that you cannot support.


Wrong again ... I'm not the one running away ... you are. Why should I bother talking to someone who is not willing to talk back?

Hmph ... how arrogant you are ...
You think a person is arrogant because they know that they don't have a low IQ? Because they know how to obtain information? Because they aren't insecure?


No, Pal ... because their brain cannot store all the abundant information, process it and store the new processed information as well. No matter how smart a person is, he is limited (physically) by the brain capacity and intelligence factor.

Is that your game? Keep telling people how stupid they are until they believe it themselves. Then when you hand them a ridiculous God story they will swallow it because they think that they are too stupid to understand it?

I never told anyone that they are stupid (except maybe that some of their remarks are stupid). Some people are smart, some are not ... why should I judge them for their physical limitations?

Delusional? I'm not the one who believes in an invisible super-hero who lives on the other side of the sky.

You are delusional because that is all you wish to believe. You grow up, been fed with such belief and when you found out that you are wrong, it is best for you to say that no such thing exists rather than to say that you had been wrong.

I'm at least as intelligent as you are because I'm not falling for your scam.

As I remembered ... it is you who made the first post challenging me in this thread ... I'd never called you to challenge you or anyone else in this forum for your belief.

I'm having no trouble understanding you. I've seen right through you.

Wrong answer ... I asked you a different question which I will ask again :
Can you understand EACH and EVERY thing you had read, seen and talk about?

My emotions are just fine. As I write this I am laughing…laughing at you. You can't back up a single word you say so you want to portray me as hateful. Do you know what is hateful Seraphim? Being dishonest with people is hateful. Apparently it has already overwhelmed you.

Hateful? Me?
I never hated anyone in my life simple because I have my own pinciples to follow ... which no need to talk about here.

You maybe laughing at me ... but do you know what I feel when I read your post? Fear ....

You don't need to make yourself feel good by developing a personal policy of being honest with people? Did you actually mean to write that, or did it just come out wrong?

I'm honest about the whole things and I have not lied to anyone here or in any forum I have visited.

If you think that I'm dishonest for not showing you God, then the truth is, it is you who are dishonest about it because you are cling to your delusion that God is sitting in the sky somewhere. Why? Because that is the delusion which you have born, raised and grow up with and it is hard for you to accept anything else.

You appear to get off by inflating your ego by associating yourself with a God. With a bit more self-aggrandizing by pretending that you have esoteric knowledge unavailable to the rest of we mortals with our "limited knowledge" and our "limited intelligence." The implication being that yours is not.

As I said before, limitation on human intelligence and how much knowledge one can get depends on the physical attributes of human being, NOT God or any theist theories. Your science can back me up on this.

But from your anger and the viscous attack once your game was exposed I'd say that you weren't even fooling yourself. You know it's a fake or you wouldn't try so hard to obscure it.
Once again I urge you cease making claims that you cannot support.


Who is angry? Have I said anything that showed that I was angry? I called you arogant because your post and claims that you can understand everything is an arrogant one. I never showed my anger NOR did I launched any visious attacks as you claimed I did.

As for your urge to stop ... it is in your hands now. Just say "We talked Enough" and I will stop replying the next post. Fair?

What exactly is Seraphim implying by this? How would "face to face" have a different outcome?

No ... That was NOT a threat of ANY kind (physically OR by Mental threat) ... make sure you understand that part first.

And yes, it will be a different story. And since we are not talking face to face (YET), there is no need for me to explain it either.

I did not assume it was a threat or that you would "martial art" the fear of god into Biff if given the chance to do so.

What you could explain is what you mean by "YET". It makes it sound as though you expect to actually talk to him face to face someday.

Good.

YET means anything is possible.
Maybe someday he will come to Malaysia or I will end up going to his Island fortress (wherever that is) and we end up talking without even knowing who we are online ...

Who knows ... MAYBE it could happen. Which is why I used YET.

I think the history books are silent over that.

A poigambor is a muslim saint; a purely Indian term I think.

No wonder India still have barbarians at their doors (Pakistan), you seems to be ignoring your history.

OK.

Boy ... you wouldn't catch me even If you sprout wings and learn to fly.
Actually I have learned to fly single engine aircraft. But you don't need a pilot's license to spot your fraud.

you are arrogant because You not willing to discuss something which could prove you being wrong YET don't seems to find any problem talking against it either.
I am discussing it. My end of the discussion is to point out that your bringing up such irrelevant mumbo jumbo exposes you to be a fraud. You could reply by explaining how I am mistaken or admitting that I am not and apologizing to everyone.

The problem here is you ... Not God.
It can't be God. There is no God.

If we met face to face, bub, it will be a whole different story.
Yeah, you can't hear me laugh all the way across the Pacific.

(My emotions are evidence of my mental and physical state. They have no bearing on whether or not something exists.)
You dare to find out if you're wrong?
Drop the act, no one is fooled.

Why should I bother talking to someone who is not willing to talk back?
I am talking back, I'm just not buying your story.

No, Pal ... because their brain cannot store all the abundant information, process it and store the new processed information as well. No matter how smart a person is, he is limited (physically) by the brain capacity and intelligence factor.
First I'm not your pal. I count only honest people as my pals. Secondly you don't have to store all the abundant information in your brain, that's what books and other data storage systems are for. All you really need to store is the information on how to retrieve it. I have all of mankind's knowledge available at my fingertips--and nowhere in it is any proof whatsoever of a God.

You are delusional because that is all you wish to believe. You grow up, been fed with such belief and when you found out that you are wrong, it is best for you to say that no such thing exists rather than to say that you had been wrong.
Like most Atheists in the US and Ireland I grew up as a Christian. I wished to believe in Jesus. I wished to do so so strongly that I set out to prove that Jesus and God were real. I do now admit that I was wrong.

As I remembered ... it is you who made the first post challenging me in this thread ... I'd never called you to challenge you or anyone else in this forum for your belief.
It's still a scam no matter what order you put it in.

Can you understand EACH and EVERY thing you had read, seen and talk about?
Everything I've seen or read, no. Everything I talk about, yes.
Are you about to claim that YOU understand EACH and EVERY thing you had read and seen? Because if you are we'll have a quiz. If you aren't you have nothing to boast about.

You maybe laughing at me ... but do you know what I feel when I read your post? Fear ....
Fear? You are afraid of me? Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you. In fact I'm going to help you, I'm going to try to get you to be honest.

As I said before, limitation on human intelligence and how much knowledge one can get depends on the physical attributes of human being, NOT God or any theist theories. Your science can back me up on this.
Then either you are claiming that you have more knowledge and more intelligence than ordinary humans or you are just talking to hear yourself type.

I called you arogant because your post and claims that you can understand everything is an arrogant one.
STRAWMAN!!!!

Just say "We talked Enough" and I will stop replying the next post. Fair?
Nope, I'll talk to anybody.
Tell me, when did you become so mired in superstition and myth? Why do you reject reality for fantasy? You must be very unhappy to feel the need to abandon reason like this.

Wrong ... you're not flying, the plane is. You just sitting inside a moving object while manuerving it. It is not same as flying like a bird.

"Since when this people learn how to fly?" - Magneto - X-Men 2 (for some odd reasons, I like that character more than Xavier).

I am discussing it. My end of the discussion is to point out that your bringing up such irrelevant mumbo jumbo exposes you to be a fraud. You could reply by explaining how I am mistaken or admitting that I am not and apologizing to everyone.

No ... no apoligizes will be given here now.
And I don't remember bring up any mumbo jumbo either till you showed up. Best I could remember is that I was talking to Hinduwoman about India and its populations' beliefs.

It can't be God. There is no God.
See ... you agreed with me as well. You say there is no God, thus that means the problem is you.

Yeah, you can't hear me laugh all the way across the Pacific.
Maybe ... I always like to see people who laugh ... the stronger they laugh, the deeper the hurt is sometimes.


(My emotions are evidence of my mental and physical state. They have no bearing on whether or not something exists.)
You dare to find out if you're wrong?
Drop the act, no one is fooled.


That's not the answer to my question. Question was "Do you dare to find out now if you are mistaken?"

I am talking back, I'm just not buying your story.
OK, let's continued talking then.

First I'm not your pal. I count only honest people as my pals.
Fine by me.

Secondly you don't have to store all the abundant information in your brain, that's what books and other data storage systems are for. All you really need to store is the information on how to retrieve it. I have all of mankind's knowledge available at my fingertips--and nowhere in it is any proof whatsoever of a God.

Yes ... books existed. But you forgot a few things.

1. Books could be lost and destroyed.
2. Information on the books can be misinterpreted.
3. Vital information in the books can be lost due to irresponsible man-handling.

In the end, you have nothing but information which in few generations could be reviewed by another generation and intrepreted in another form or into another meaning.

Like most Atheists in the US and Ireland I grew up as a Christian. I wished to believe in Jesus. I wished to do so so strongly that I set out to prove that Jesus and God were real. I do now admit that I was wrong.

Like most people in my side of the Planet, I grew up in a society where various religions existed - Hindusm, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity and other sub-religion such as Toasm etc.

My mother, like most mothers in theists family send me to study religions and I did. I didn't question her and I didn't stop questioning myself.

What I found out during my 30 years of living is that religion by itself is misleading, simply because, like books, some of the vital information inside a religion could dissappear or modified to suit current trend thus causing confusion among the followers.

In that context, what to do? I have 2 options -
1. Don't follow Religion and beliefs which contradicts logic and don't believe God because He cause it.
2. Don't follow things in Religion which is contradicts to logic but believe in God because this is man-made error.

I choose door no. 2.

It's still a scam no matter what order you put it in.

I don't remember scamming anyone and I sure as hell didn't scam Hinduwoman. You brought this issue up and you telling me I'm trying to scam you?

Everything I've seen or read, no.

60% of all information you will receive comes from Seeing and Reading.

Everything I talk about, yes.

In end of this discussion, we will see whether you understood everything you have talked about.

Are you about to claim that YOU understand EACH and EVERY thing you had read and seen? Because if you are we'll have a quiz. If you aren't you have nothing to boast about.

Nope ... I'm still a human being and since I'm a human being, my knowledge and intelligence also effected by physical limitations.
And I don't remember boosting about anything.

Fear? You are afraid of me? Don't worry I'm not going to hurt you. In fact I'm going to help you, I'm going to try to get you to be honest.

Oops ... misintrepretation here (mistake in my part). I supposed to say I sense your fear ... but then again, maybe the word "Sense" is not suitable in this discussion.

Then either you are claiming that you have more knowledge and more intelligence than ordinary humans or you are just talking to hear yourself type.

You seems to be mistaken about something. You seems to think that knowledge is all that matters in finding an answer. The thing is, it isn't.

INTREPRETING an information which you received IS the key of finding an answer. While two person could have same amount of data, how both of them intreprete that data is the key of find an answer.

I called you arogant because your post and claims that you can understand everything is an arrogant one.
STRAWMAN!!!!


I still don't understand what Strawman means ...

Nope, I'll talk to anybody.
Tell me, when did you become so mired in superstition and myth? Why do you reject reality for fantasy? You must be very unhappy to feel the need to abandon reason like this.


I never reject reality for fantasy. Living in fantasy is like living in a dream of self-solitude ... you can dream all you want, think all you want and make assumptions of all you want, but in the end, there is always some itchy-bitsy doubt in the back of your mind.

For me, I believe I'm living in a world where there is more than meets the eye.
