True brainiac...I guess I should have made it more clear that at that point in my post I was addressing the OP..and not so much your post...sorry.
No comment on Dawkins as "one of the greatest thinkers of our day."..not all that familiar with him....isn't he the guy kissing everybody on "Family Feud"?




brainiacsub -> RE: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI (4/13/2010 12:32:37 PM)

Why don't you go join sanity and subrob in the newest teabagger thread until you can convince me you have more than 3 living brain cells.

I think you should go for it mikey...I think she likes you.
If you need some live brain cells I have plenty so you are welcome to take what you need[8|]

I could be wrong, but I think it's because you said something not so nice about poor Richard. She seems to think he's one of the greatest thinkers of all time. If she didn't talk so much in her posts, I would think she is really brain.




brainiacsub -> RE: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI (4/13/2010 12:41:31 PM)

I was just giving you shit for the Dawkins comment. I hold you to a higher standard. It's all in good fun.




slvemike4u -> RE: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI (4/13/2010 12:45:57 PM)

And it was your idea that hanging with subrob and sanity would help lift me to those high standards you hold me to.
When you think about it though....keeping that sort of company I would look like a veritable genius [:D] I like this plan.[:D]
All good Brainiac,actually I knew it was a shot at me for the family feud line.....lol.




brainiacsub -> RE: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI (4/13/2010 12:47:52 PM)

We're all good again then.

And I didn't even have to talk a whole lot in my post to get the point across.

Succint...and beautiful(now that the whole fake tits period is over)

Why am I not surprised that you are more concerned with appearances than with honesty.

Then you were never really an atheist, where ya?

And if you are siding with the Pope over Dawkins, you aren't really that bright, either.


I don't believe in the existence of a god...I don't see how I'm not really an atheist. but anyhow, atheists are usually epistemologically unsound and generally tacky.

I'm not 'siding' with anyone. I'm just calling Dawkins a gigantic tosser for this pr stunt. although he's a gigantic tosser for a lot of reasons.

Mike,

I didn't say anything about arresting the Pope. I just said he wasn't very bright for taking sides with the Pope over Dawkins, one of the greatest thinkers of our day.


dawkins is not one of the greatest thinkers of our day.

jesus christ, if this were true we would really be in the dark ages.

people make a gigantic mistake in that if someone is very talented in one field, they must be talented in all fields. this is rarely the case.

there is also a mistake I made in that if someone's criticisms are valid, then their solutions must also be valid, which is just as pernicious.

a great example of people just gobbling up the crap that someone who is good at one field is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdILmgJGuvw

I can only imagine how many people have listened to this and think they have learned something.

because I appreciate aesthetics.

good god, let's just hope Orlando Gibbons' work or Rostopovich's recording are never swarmed by the masses who 'like to listen to them while they study'. I wouldn't know what to do.

You are a very angry, disingenuous, intellectually dishonest man. You said earlier that you are an atheist but prefer to call yourself a Catholic because why? Atheists are epistemologically unsound and Catholics (or any theists for that matter) are not? You are a goof...but then again, what do I know?

I'll stick with Dawkins, thank you. He doesn't say dumb stuff.

Catholicism is the largest religion in the world it could end very badly for any who tried.   

That's not the case, if you count Catholicism as it's own religion than the largest religion is Islam: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article3653800.ece


But I agree with adx, the politics of arresting the Pope…..it’s just not going to happen. I assume Dawkins is of the same opinion, hence the press release as opposed to springing this on the Pope after his arrival.



thats all of Islam not its different sects the largest Islamic sect is a few hundred million behind Catholicism.




luckydawg -> RE: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI (4/14/2010 2:58:33 PM)

Got steel, usually not always. That is such an overdone question. Many(most) athiests claim to believe there is no god, of any sort, based on science. That Science prooves there is no God. Dawkins pretty much falls into that catagory. Yet science can not proove there is no God. If you think it can, please lay out the proof. It is a personal belief, yet they pretend it is based on logic, and hence a fact. Not al Athiests. But almost all of the loud ones.





Jeffff -> RE: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI (4/14/2010 3:01:37 PM)

You can't prove a negative.

On some level it takes as much faith to believe there is no God as to believe there is.
