  1. Blazing saddles, seems more appropriate in this thread...
  2. God has some very human attributes...
  3. Why? If that's an extention of "relativity", you should know, that it doesn't work for everything...
  4. Unfounded fear is still frightening, but do you really think a Biden voter would prefer TFG to an image of their scary mom/granny.
  5. Indeed, religious thinking is available for all of those with an agenda, scientist's are such an easy target, bc one of them made a laughable mistake once (probably for money)... Delicious irony, if one doesn't like people...
  6. The best animal for the task, in my opinion, has to be an octopus bc it doesn't seem to need a memory to work.
  7. Did you even read my post? I've never advocated that we should adhere to any old text without any sort of critical thinking, but a good idea is a good idea despite who wrote it; denying that kinda makes one religious. The American constitution for instance, is currently heading towards the sort of conditions that inspired people like Jesus, Mohamed, Gandhi and Mandela, The constitution had some great idea's, until the word amendment was, somehow, defined as unchangeable.
  8. Dirty Harry, just asked a question, jeez...
  9. Do they? You know much that is hidden, Oh Tim...
  10. eXTERMINATE, seems a little over the top; but don't forget who has to crop the fields... πŸ˜‰
  11. There is a third option, "Denise there's some lovely filth over here".
  12. I think it's important to point out that a thousand year old text (God or no god) was written by people who were basically going through the same shit that we are today; and they were just a skilled (intelligent) as we are at living within our culture. There are some good idea's amongst the bad, even things like stoning adulterer's can be good, with the right cultural pressure; we are clearly inteligent enough to know that stoning people is not an appropriate punishment today. When are we going to realise that both Jesus and Mohamed got really pissed off with our banking system, for a reason? β€œThose who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” - George Santayana
  13. Like I said from the start of this thread, my objection is not based on competence, which I went on to explain in this thread; please read...
  14. No, my post/point was, you couldn't possibly know what it's like to be an albatross let alone what it's thinking; so all you can ever do is just guess, however much data you process, it's built into the fabric of reality. IOW the implication is, how could we tell if AI is conscious? And you misunderstood, what's real and what's science fiction... πŸ™„
  15. When are you going to give up on this crusade of yours? Philosophy is not evil, jeez. πŸ™„
  16. Do you really think they'd switch to the Donald? Are there any fence sitters anymore?
  17. OK, so what's YOUR number? I imagine that it'll be your lucky number... πŸ˜‰
  18. I'm not going to hold my breath for an answer from your Guru, bc there isn't one (I'll let you keep your little green tribute)... For instance, why is greater than zero, more meaningful than less than zero? How many of US are there? And what do THEY have to do to become US? The rules of the game is arbitrary, it's up to you if you want to play???
  19. He's such a good dog (the best), so he couldn't imagine why they would need a leash, he's so pwoerful and stwong that he's only got to wag his tail for everyone to just love, him. I just can't see how the GOP can "pull it off" this time...
  20. Indeed, but every so often that 'giant steaming turd' is all sparkily and golden coloured; let him have his little giggle, he can't be expected understand what sparkles are... That sounds awfully American... Well, we the Brits kinda forced that lesson down their throats, sorry America...
  21. Like he won't play double or quits, with his Patek Philippe...
