Information requested

[BashfulAnthony]

Well, even that would be superior to someone who pretends to know so much about most of them:  though how he finds time in between reading the world's books, studying philosophy, posting, etc, is a mystery!

Only to you ...

Of course, his knowledge is mostly confined to a quick google, to appear knowledgeable.   

Prove it.

Short of standing behind you, I can't, obviously, so it is a silly thing to ask.  The only "proof" is that some of your quotes and opinions are clearly" lifted."  You deny that, do you?

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Ding ding ding! 500 points!

Unfortunately you appear not to know enough about PM as a "religion" to know that it isn't one.

It is the way you do it.

It was a remarkably silly thing to say.

The only "proof" is that some of your quotes and opinions are clearly" lifted."  You deny that, do you?

If I'm sitting at the computer and have a specific quote/passage in mind that I want to cite, clearly it makes sense to Google it and copy-and-paste it rather than (1) go to my bookshelves, (2) find the appropriate book, (3) find the appropriate passage and (4) completely needlessly copy it out laboriously word for word. Speed and ease - is there a problem with that? The WWW is like the world's biggest library, available 24/7 literally at your fingertips. It's there to be used.

'It was a remarkably silly thing to say.'

 Well, at least you were honest enough to admit it.

I was referring of course to your Google nonsense.

[ippy]

Why do you want to know? It's not as though it's of any importance.

ippy

No information is unimportant.

It is required so that I might, with it presented in a tabled form, just possibly understand better some of the posts on this forum.

I can see that you think religion is important; it isn't.

ippy

You obviously cannot see anything; It is not MY views that are being requested here, I know, surprise, surprise, what my views on my religion are and what my views on other religions are.

I am interested in finding out the views of others.

So answer the questions in the light of your disbelief, please.

I don't disbelieve in religion, there is no good reason to belive there is such a thing as religion to have any form of disbeief in, in the first place.

ippy

If you believed that to be true then why are you here telling us this?
Boy do you feel stupid now...

OK Sass let's have the evidence then; there isn't any? Well what a surprise.

Too late:  you can't change it now!   

[Shaker]

There's nothing to change. Yet again, true to form, you made a silly, stupid, thoughtless remark. Seems to be a habit of yours.

Good old Shaky:  makes ambiguous/silly remark:  gets pulled up for it:  resorts to abuse.  Best form of defence, eh, old bean!   

[Shaker]

There was nothing ambiguous about it unless your reading comprehension isn't really up to snuff.

"Snuff!"  "Snuff?" What the heck does that mean?  Have you been inhaling it again?

Ippy, mate, if you don't want to discuss religion because it's of no importance you are on the wrong forum.

Like I have often said Rhi I find it fascinating the numbers of reasonably intelligent people that believe this nonsense, somebody has got to help.

ippy

You're all heart, Ippy. 

Warm night Rhi, been dancing in the woods?

ippy

Why? Do you fancy a go?

(Actually paganism = dancing-in- woods is a bit of a myth. Sorry)

Shame, got me tripod and night vision camera set up ready, purely for research of course.

Or:     Snuff
1. (verb) To kill, assasinate, destroy, murder.
2. (adj.) A real (not staged) filmed murder; usually of raping and killing a woman. In some cases it is viewed for sexual arousal.  ??

[Shaker]

That's just snuff though and not up to snuff, which means "up to a certain standard."

Same as up to scratch ... which you may not have heard of either.

[BashfulAnthony]

Okay, but that's enuff snuff.

Sounds like a tissue of lies to me.

Bloody Typical!

Doesn't want anything to do with religion but add a few naked bodies (especially female ones) and suddenly you are interested to the n^th degree!

The dancing in the woods bit is practiced only by a few branches of Paganism/witchcraft, and, because there are people like you, Ippy, arround, they keep the dates and locations of the fire/naked dancng rituals a bit quiet!

If you are really that interested you could go to Stonehenge on the night of the 20th/21st June. And you won't need the night photography stiuff they will still be dancing at sun-up.

I'm sure a friend of mine, not me, saw you there with your night vision camera too, I think looking at naked women; other than for research this is so disgusting and so unnatural.

Another time don't keep pushing people out of the way to get the best view, my friend asked me to tell you.

Don't tell me Religion dulls your sense of humour too.

Actually I avoid Stonehange at Solstice like the plague.

It is a Druidic celebration, I am not a Druid, and it has been hijacked by the hippy, New-Age, drugs and booze brigade and the stones are getting rapidly more and more damaged due to frequent applications of uric acid!

And there is nothing wrong with my sense of humour, but being among such humourless individuals as some on this forum has taught me to curb it as the humourless take offence at my humour and immediately report my posts to the Moderators!

[OH MY WORLD!]

Does anybody have a tissue for poor Matty to cry into? He's creating a river here.

[Sassy]

OK Sass let's have the evidence then; there isn't any? Well what a surprise.

ippy

Let's not show your ignorance.
The bible,the words of Christ tell you how to find your evidence.

Do you know what the evidence tells us about you?

You will never come to know the truth till you see it for the right reason with a right heart.
Had you really been interested in the reality of God and Christ you would have read the bible and sought out the answer.

The true evidence about you, shows you do not want to know if it true... That is why you have never found the evidence... It is there... but you are not interested in finding the way because you don't want to know the truth.

[Hope]

I can see that you think religion is important; in my opinion, it isn't.

ippy

FIFY, ippy

[Hope]

All religions encourage people to believe things that probably aren't true in the face of the evidence.  Anything that discourages thinking for yourself is ultimately bad for you.

And what evidence is there that "All religions encourage people to believe things that probably aren't true in the face of the evidence".

Well Christianity is a case in point there is no evidence to support any of its fantastical claims!
