Attitudes and behaviour.

[ippy]

All we get on here is pedantic, presumptuous comment, with no regard for the sincere beliefs of other human beings

Ah your talking about others?

For me that sums up your own comments but years of experience dealing with you tells me that like other (mainly fundies) you can't see your own obnoxious replies and often snide comments.

Of course like Sass, CM oh and of course Vlad it doesn't matter how many people tell you your wrong or being a idiot it's always their fault not yours 

the constant infantile use of terms like, "magic," fairies," "spaghetti monsters," etc. 

I'm sure the believers of magic, fairies and spaghetti monsters get the same ridicule but if your going to come out with nonsense as you do that can't back up your beliefs then I don't know how you expect others to take them seriously?

Seeing that atheists get much the same abuse maybe the answer to your problem is grow a set of f off.. just a suggestion 

I don't have a problem  -  it is the likes of you who have the problem, that's why you spend your days denying its existence.

Why would anybody that thinks the whole idea of god or gods is only for deluded people, want to deny the existence of something that's not there in the first place; I'm not denying the existence any kind of god, they don't exist in the first place to deny, other than in peoples minds. Unless, of course, you can prove me wrong which would be necessary due to the present lack of credible evidence, like zero evidence, to support this cranky idea of yours BA.

it's not merely me, dear ippy, but a couple of billion others, too, many of whom are more likely to be correct than you:  or, rather, all of whom are more likely to be correct than you.   

Trouble with what you're saying BA is that if you've got it wrong, as it is at the present time where none of you believers have any evidence that could support these superstitious, mythical and magic happenings described in your manual

It really wouldn't matter if there were two hundred billion, billion that believe in your manual, there is still zero evidence that supports the extremely unlikely mythical, magical superstition based ideas contained within your manual;  it's exactly similar to when there was a large number of people that thought the Sun orbited the Earth, just because of the large numbers of people that believed this, believing it didn't make them right as you must be aware?

Try multiplying zero by a billion, you guessed, it's still zero.

It is such a shame that BA does not realise at all how obvious it is from his posts, with their sneers and lack of warmth, that he is projecting his own falts onto others.

Perhaps, but Ippy has never started a thread with a quotation from another forum's rules, demanding that this would be  better place with them and then breaking the same rules all over the place.

so? None of of that is covered in Susan Doris' post so is surely irrelevant to that judgement?

Bible has a capital B, by the way.

To you perhaps, but not to me; to me it is just a words meaning book.

It is not a matter of Christianity and belief, or not.  It is simply a correct use of English.  Bible is a proper noun, and requires a capital B.

Oxford English Dictionary:

Bible - 1 - the Christian scriptures;
           2 - the Jewish scriptures;
       3 - bible (please note uncapitalised) a book regarded as giving comprehesive and relible information about something e g the electrician's bible

N B - number 3 is everything that number 1 is not; and probably number 2 as well.

Ignoramus.  You were referring to the Christian/Judaic Bible, which requires a capital as it is a proper noun.  I assume you were not referring to such as the electrician's bible, or some such, which does not require a capital, as it is a common noun.  Got it?  It's amazing that you can reach your time of life, and still not grasp the very basics of the language.

It contains no expletives at all - it is perfectly polite. I have registered its contents with the Mods so that it does not get moderated after your inevitable accusation of obscenity.

You are supposed to be the one with the superior intellect - work it out - the answer is in an earlier post from me to you. If I, according to you an idiot, can create it, you, super-brain, can solve it!

No, it's BA's way of saying, he can't be bothered, and if he was, more than likely it's either trivial, or abusive.

Going by your post BA, are you saying that you don't care for an Atheist (a non-religious person would be a more accurate description but Atheist if you must, it's OK), appraisal of your manual?

So if one person has got it wrong multiply that number by a couple of billion and they've got it right, is that what you were trying to convey, only if not it certainly looked as though that's what you were saying?

I didn't refer to this bible of yours I used the word manual, I thought it might be a good idea to check to see if manual was a good description of your book, so I had a look into my copy of the OED the shorter version 6th edition 2007, where in one part it does actually refer to 'ecclesiastical history', so although you might not care for me substituting manual for bible, non the less it's an accurate description of the book we both with pre knowledge from previous posts knew what book I was referring to when I used the word manual.   

Oh and I noticed that when I spell checked my own mailing my spell checker, set to British English, picked up three spelling mistakes in that post of yours, namely: uncapitalized, comprehensive and reliable; remember it was my spell checker, not me, that picked up your mistakes.   

Hope you have a better day today BA.

BA,
I'm sure those letters stand for something in Matty's witchamacallit. But the elderly acting like 10yr olds, on purpose, is what I find to be like a trip to the dentist. I don't know for sure if this is just who he is or is turning into. So angry all the time, so dark.

If your intellect is as vast as you appear to think it is why do you demean yourself by reading blogs from underlings that still need to use our knuckles when we transport ourselves about our daily lives.

Having said that it's good to know that such as yourself think that it's worth the effort to try steering us in a better direction from time; thank you so much for giving us your time.

Think your being a bit harsh here Ippy.

I agree with Samuel this thread isn't really going anywhere - although I wouldn't go as far as suggesting it be closed it is still not an unreasonable proposition, and I didn't detect the air of superiority you seemd to have picked up. Just maybe frustration at the general drift to "my dad's bigger than your dad" ism.

Well done Ippy - a prime example of how to give BA a whip to hit you with - the three mispellings you quote - uncapitalized, comprehensive and reliable are not BA's but mine. According to my Third edition 2005 of the Compact OED notes that - page vii lines 13 to 17 inclusive - with -ise and ize - either spelling can be used. The spelling -ise is far more common in British English, while -ize is usually found  in American writing. The other two, for your information, are not mispellings but typos.

Hope that the rest of today is better for you ippy.

And how do you know that my dad isn't bigger than your dad then.

Seriously the man snipes from the background quite a bit, for his own reasons?

He also thinks they go unnoticed.

I'm not that serious or easily get upset by posts, saying that I don't get upset by any of the posts I have seen here on this forum, but I must admit BA's posts make me wonder about him, I would imagine he's like most of the people that post here he's probably an OK guy and I think most of us here may well get on with each other face to face.

Like I've said before and will say again it's the ideas not the person.

The worst I've seen on here was that Welsh football coach's with his terrible attitude toward gay people, I couldn't possibly have anything to do with him.
