Err... what? You, I what where? Pointless? What are you saying here? What would the Demiurge say?

I like how you've turned this into a "Pissing war" against me while talking about honesty and sincerity, and finding a common ground. Where is our "Bare bones" discussion? Where are your philosophical leaps?

Obviously this is not it. This is me goading you into tamperamental fits. I'd seriously like to discuss things with you some other time but right now it's all about you being funny. This is not a pissing war. I don't care how long your penis is ( well I do, but for more practical reasons ) and I never claimed to be smarter than you, like you constantly do. I've very well prepared to admit you're smarter, brighter, IQer, intelligenter and occulter than me. Awesome. Seriously, rock on with your bad self. All I'm saying is that you are FUNNY because a person so intelligent like you gets irritated so easily over trivial personal attacks. Why can't you control yourself more? I know you're gonna say "I am in control. In absolute control. What you see isn't what's really realer than realistic reality. You think I'm funny, I DO THAT ON PURPOSE! FUNNY SUIT! DEMIURGE" and ok, maybe. I don't think so, but maybe.

Unintentionally funny... I wonder if you make your personality a vague assortment of bullshit to be hilarious?

Sometimes I try to be funny. But I'm not the brightest person on earth or well-read either so maybe a portion of the bullshit is really stuff I believe in. Thanks for asking. Wanna go to the movies?

I never thought it had anything to do with that anyway. The only reason I even mentioned unbiased nature is to show how much better I am than you, and that i really don't care how I appear. Cuz' I'm cool like that, cuz.

You go out of your way to show how better you are than me. Yet you don't care for appearances. Oh I know " I AM BEING CONTRADICTORY ON PURPOSE! IT'S A PERSONALITY THING! KISS THE TAILBONE OF THE GOD SERPENT! DEMIURGE!

I agree you're really cool. I bet you're a great guy to be around at parties and other such social gatherings. I bet you know beautiful girls and drug dealers. Can we hang out? I'll let you fuck me.

One does not necessarily have to have his personal beliefs staked in an argument in order to hold discourse on a given subject (re: Devil's advocate). It may indeed be the strongest court for objective discussion.

Objective discussion as in disparate, academic and completely useless to anyone trying to do anything sure.

Or maybe you think they are less important than they actually are.

Sure it might be the case. What you suggest is as powerful an argument as "hmm if you cross the street, it might be more dangerous than you think!". Thanks.

Faith does not equal belief in all people. I don't know how to make a more lucic argument at this time. I'll get back to you on this.

Might want to introduce the basic dichoctomy between Faith as absolute, and belief as finite and temporary and mutable. That I hold the belief that gravity will continue to function as it has so far does not constitute me having Faith in it. Faith in it would require my unrelenting convition that gravity will indeed forever function as it does, as it had, as it should. There are demands, in having Faith. There are none (or not so many?) in believing stuff.

Like I said, I’m still learning about it, and still, I might add, excited at the prospects, so if you want to point me to a reference for this, I would like to see it. BTW, no offense, but will everyone PLEASE stop misspelling "existence". You're driving me crazy... er.

I know what's wrong! You use too many commas. I used to do this a lot myself. This is how I fixed it: I went through my text after I was done and removed the commas that weren't strictly needed to properly convey what I happened to be talking about. Also, when there were a lot of secondary sentences involved I sometimes simplifed to the point of adding more periods. This made my text more robust. As well as more readable. And it suggests strong conviction in what. Was being. Said. Which is. Useful. Some. Times.

Good luck and the demiurge be with you!
