I stopped watching when he said that Barry was "wicked smart." Realizing your enemy is competent is the first step to victory. It amazes me how stupid and idiotic the rationale among most of ARFCom is. They believe the Democrats are so unbelievably incompetent, yet are surprised that they can (somehow) win elections. Its the most insane of confirmation biases. At least Penn understands that his opponents have valid arguments, and attempts to debate them. You're not going to get their side to listen to anything you have to say when you denigrate their president from the get-go. <object width="0" height="0" id="plugin0" type="application/x-dgnria" style=">[div][div]</object> Wrong.

What I hate about coming into a thread late is that no one will read what I have to say. I may have something really profound to write, however it is almost certain that somebody has already stated the same thing. So I would like to give that person a + 1 for making the same point as I, and beating me to it. Though they will never read my post.

They expect their hate filled beliefs which attack and belittle others to be impervious to attacks and belittlement. Then they want to pretend that we are the inherently militant ones, and our criticism of their opinions is completely unprovoked.  Basically this is how these threads go: Them: "You are all horrible evil people, and you deserve to be tortured forever by my god." Us: "well if that i what you believe, then the most horribly evil thing that I've seen is your god." Them: "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM, WHY DO YOU ATTACK MY BELIEFS COMPLETELY UNPROVOKED! CLEARLY YOU ARE A SPITEFUL PERSON WHO HAS A BONE TO PICK WITH GOD...ENJOY HELL SATAN LOVER" |

It's as wrong to force people into being an atheist like you as it is to use the very same distasteful things to try to get people to be "Christian".

Ordinarily I like Penn Gillette but he just comes across as weird and overly agitated. He takes religion more seriously than I do as a Catholic. What is it with atheists?

So, he's pretty much correct on any issue he speaks about (guns, liberty, government, global warming, martial arts, etc) but he's not allowed to not believe in god? He can believe whatever he wants. I just think it's funny that Atheists, who pride themselves on the power of their own minds, don't believe in God because "science hasn't proved it yet." If their powerful minds can't fathom of a god, why then that must mean that God doesn't exist. Because if God did exist, surely minds of their immense caliber would sense it. Tedious and egotistical. What about agnostics? |
