Reticent Rogue Part II
Continuing from Part 1 - More non sensical gibberish from our troll the Reticent Rogue...
Nay...Naybob. Alas, I diagnose your case as one of ontological frustration.
I suspect that, as intelligent as you claim to be, you would be happier as a pragnostic--that is a Christian pragmatist.
Humanists always seem to claim the high intellectual gound on the basis of flawed rationale; specifically...
the non-scientific proscription of deducing a negative from a lack of evidence or, as you put it, 'non-existent' evidence.
You have never seen an atom but you choose to believe it exists in quantities sufficent to form a chair to hold your butt off the floor.
Yet you choose to believe--without evidence, as you yourself have said--that the first cause of all the atoms that have ever existed, does not exist.
You choose to believe only in Naybob when the whole of existence is more powerful than you and there is nothing you can do about it.
Yes, I suspect you would be more happy if you were less arrogant and more reticent. Best Wishes...from one of those ignorant fools of whom you speak so eloquently.
The Nattering One muses... again, we must poison this troll, with just the facts, maam.
"You would be happier as a pragnostic--that is a Christian pragmatist."
Flattery will get you nowhere... I am no more a heretic or douche bag, than the average religious idiot or Christian, Jew, Buddist or Muslim.
"You have never seen an atom but you choose to believe it exists"...
You reticent moron, we have seen an atom, and in fact smash the smaller particles that make up atoms in what is called a linear accelerator.
"You choose to believe--without evidence, as you yourself have said--that the first cause of all the atoms that have ever existed, does not exist."
If you have no evidence of your invisible mans existence, which you nor anyone does, then you have no case to make here or elsewhere.
Oh, and if you think you or anyone else is going to an "afterlife", where there is a "heaven" for those who tow the line or "hell" for those that get out of line...
repleat with vestal virgins, fire, brimstone and eternal bliss or torture... you must realize that religion is the only thing that keeps the poor from killing the rich.
Furthermore, there is no reincarnation, there is no afterlife, how many of your dead friends, relatives or strangers have "come back" for a visit?
When you die, you take the big sleep, as in forever. These are things that the religious and reticent take on faith.
Faith is what they sell you on, when they have nothing that can be proved. And that is exactly what you have, nothing that can be proved.
"The whole of existence is more powerful than you."
More powerful than the Nattering One, and more powerful than any totem pole you bow down to, or pagan idolatry you participate in, you ritualistic church going scum.
You are no better than Mayans, Greeks, Romans and other religious idiots who sacrificed to their false gods and took it all on "faith".
To be sure, there are things bigger and more powerful than us. But those higher powers are natural, rather than supernatural.
God's will, fate or kismet goes towards explaining that which we do not currently understand.
Only we, the talking monkeys, are in control of our destiny, not imaginary gods. More to come in Part 3.
