Menupages is the best bot ever ... we need more such posters who can make such topical and marginally coherent posts

I was wondering why he was still at large.

Bob Jones University should be referred to as BJ U.

It's more coherent than AAHZ is most of the time.

Okay, I lied, two quick notes:

1. "Mystical" in my experience usually refers to a highly subjective experience of the supernatural, which is still fine, God Helmets notwithstanding. [/pedantic]

2. I think you don't understand what actually motivates people to believe. If a man believes, and perceives science to be hostile, he will simply write off science as bull**** and be unpersuaded by anything it says. If he is persuaded, it will not be by logic as such. Modern trumpeting of science as the answer to everything is a symptom of the secularist mindset's triumph, not its cause.

Anyone who needs to be "persuaded" to accept facts is a useless idiot.

That's nice, dear.

No, that's ****ing stupid. Anyone who doesn't need to be persuaded to accept facts is an idiot and naive. You shouldn't believe things just because some ******* says so. Jesus Christ this is elementary.

Learn what the word "fact" means and try again.

Also, I'm not surprised you are hostile to facts. They are often your undoing.

That's ****ing circular. If you're defining fact as "a true statement," then if you think something is a fact, you already accept it. What you're saying then is "you should believe what you believe."

[Sava]

I don't decide what is or isn't a fact.

Try again.

NOBODY decides what is or isn't a "officially" a fact. There is no "facts authority."

I assume what you're driving at is, "believe what people with pieces of paper hanging on their walls say." Which I disagree with. You are then making a false equivalence between "things people with pieces of paper hanging on their walls say" with incontrovertible facts. Then you make the claim that I am anti-facts.

So facts come from God?

[regexcellent]

No. If they did, he would be a facts authority. I already said there is no facts authority. I am not saying there are no facts, that truth is relative, or any of that other postmodernist bull****.
