Damn you
Hee hee.
So I wander out for a bit and come back to find the Salem Bewitched Choir is witnessing me sitting on Satan's lap. Oh, well, back to the Dunking Pond for me I guess!
It was you who suggested this article to me. So now that the thread has passed 1,000 posts, I thought it was time I gave you the credit.
Keep reading. You've made a good start.
Still waiting for a response to post 989.
It's not an ad hominem attack to challenge your implication that you guys are all sweetness and light over there. You must be terribly disappointed that you can't bring that crap over here and not have someone call you on it. Sorry, but you'll get over it, I'm sure, probably just as soon as some poor new guy with the wrong doctrine checks in on that forum, and you guys find fresh meat to strip down to the bone.
Nice sidestep. It makes it look like you know whereof you speak without actually having to come up with something. 'Course, anyone with two brain cells can see through this.
We are all searching for the 'truth'. I don't understand why you are so overly critical of these men and women and the work they are doing? For someone so intelligent, you sure are quick to judge them and quick to toss-out a whole branch of research that many people are interested in.
Killjoy.

Is there a way to truth through dishonesty?

Did you read the post to which you respond? If one respects science, one cannot help but criticize ID.
For someone so intelligent, you sure are quick to judge them and quick to toss-out a whole branch of research that many people are interested in.
"Research" by corrupt methods to a foreordained conclusion does not deserve to be called research. The ID movement isn't trying to get answers, it's trying to lose the answers. This does not figure to bring us too many advances in our knowledge. It also isn't research. It's just an assault on science by Witch Doctors in suits and ties.
So whats new with "Burning Man"?
I never made it to "Burning Man". One of my colleagues goes every year.
Good Lord. Go back to your Science Fiction novel and release some of that mental tension. You're getting spooked too easily.
I know people who use that word too. It puts you in some fine company.
But 1001 = 7*11*13 (and is thus useful in divisibility tricks).
Your already beat me to it. And it was not cross-burners I was making reference to. Substitute a Star of David for the cross that I referenced and you will get the connection I was making. And there is nothing to back down from. You think this country is immune to these types of movements?
When it happens, it happens quickly. In China as the cultural revolution was closing in, women boarding trains were first forced to cut their hair and fore-go their fancy hair doos. Later, material possessions were taken from people's homes. Not to be taken and used but burned in the street.
Go back and read the thread and see where the trend started. My posts that you find objectionable are a warning in response, not a first proposition. Their thinking is scary, and so have been their direct affronts.
They have a mentality that they are superior and at the same time they have a stated intolerance they seem quite proud of. Those are the ingredients for the start of dangerous movements, those are the words of the people that start them.
Maniac. Nope. Just enough experience with the real thing to issue proper - not over the top - words of caution. And interesting that you should write, stand revealed as a delusional maniac. Would that be analogous to standing in the hot sun in a warm coat with water being dumped on me once an hour, bent over with a sign hanging from neck proclaiming to every passerby that I was delusional.
You are far too Innocent in your thinking. They are far too dogmatic, condescending, intolerant and, thus, potentially dangerous.
