Retrolectuals, How many do you know?

[stallion4life]

So would a person who subscribes to the new atheists' very 19th Century ideas about the opposition of science and religion be considered a retrolectual?

[TheOctopus3]

This is the most pretentious thing I've seen all day.

[AntEyeTheist]

@TheOctopus3

I'm sure that you view many things as being pretentious; it’s called an inferiority complex. Stop being so hard on yourself. : )>

[TheOctopus3]

@AntEyeTheist I didn't fill my "About Me" section with 30 dumbshit quotes pretending to be insightful. And I don't pretend that understanding evolution makes me a better person than anyone. You are the one with the inferiority complex, and your sad struggle to prove how much better you are than everyone who doesn't believe everything you believe is just proof of how pathetic you are.

[AntEyeTheist]

@TheOctopus3 You sound like the child that has just been told there is no Santa Claus.

You can choose to be pissed at the people who have lied to you, or, you can be pissed at the people telling you that Santa is make believe, you chose the latter.

Your channel lacks content as does your character.

If I had a dark heart, I would keep it to myself as well, good choice.

My channel and its contents are intended to provoke thought on matters that matter, not presumptuous pricks like you.

[TheOctopus3]

@AntEyeTheist "Provoke thoughts"? How about "brainwash people"? You're not saying anything thought provoking. Tell me, what's so thought provoking about name-calling, hypocrite?

[aaronbassplyr]

Because all libertarians are theists... and have no intention to provide an atmosphere in the country in which case everyone is treated identically by the government. These ideas must be counter productive to society because they don't support the idea that one giant collective is the most efficient and effective ways to progress as humans.

[aaronbassplyr]

@aaronbassplyr Im obviously being sarcastic.

[TheOctopus3]

@aaronbassplyr You weren't expecting something intelligent from AntEyeTheist now, were you?

[Sack42]

The only thing I would change is the antonym, "evolutionist." Simply because it implies that evolution is something in which one believes, rather than being a fact. Apart from that, I may just start using "retrolectual."

[AntEyeTheist]

@Sack42 Yes, saying that you don't believe in evolution is like saying you don't believe in math.

[TheOctopus3]

@AntEyeTheist Just how stupid are you? Mathematics is an entire field of study. Evolution is just one scientific theory. If you were smart, you would have compared it to something like Fermat's Last Theorem, and even that analogy could be improved. But you're not, smart are you? I guess you don't have to be a "retrolectual" to be a complete dumbass, after all.

[AntEyeTheist]

@TheOctopus3

You're right I'm not smart, but compared to you, I'm a mental giant.

Oh! and fuck you very much for all the name calling.

[Marcusisit]

I like it.

[saintpine]

what about arselectual ?, a person that not only is a retrolectual but makes constantly an asshole fool of himself and whoever he represents.

[Korkzor]

@saintpine There´s already a word for that, YEC´s :)

[saintpine]

@Korkzor says "YEC"

Young earth cretinists ?....oh creationists...

[snoman99991]

Clever word! I particularly like it's synonyms like "bag of hammers" ; )

[Swidhelm]

I will make certain to use this word!

[Aresftfun]

Perfect! Everyone shall use this! MUHAHAHA

[saintpine]

@Aresftfun says "Perfect! Everyone shall use this! MUHAHAHA"

beware its a typical retrolectual symptom, laughing at ones own comment.

[dewinthemorning]

Much needed word for those individuals in our society, who are backward thinking.

[AtheistApe5]

Another to add to the synonym list - Tea Partier/Tea Bagger

[gabiotta]

I am going to start using it first thing tomorrow. You have just added to the English language.

[CrazedCousinDougal]

@gabiotta I agree. If you can use it enough, it should be added to the English vernacular. It is very much a much-needed word.
