[TheRealScotius]

This halfwit apparently thinks that people "should" believe what she says simply because in her opinion, she's "proven" that there's no God. She's nuts. This is what leftists demand; that once they've "proven" that things are the way they say they are, no one has the right to believe otherwise. It doesn't work that way, and she's pretty sparse of gray matter for showing her colors like that and thinking no one would notice.

@TheRealScotius

If you ever want to succeed in discourse, you'll have to first let others speak for themselves, and then speak only for yourself.

[Hopeful71]

Love MPFC but didn't quite get the reason for cutting it in as you did. Perhaps if more of the sketch intro were laid out to give it some context...

[curriejean]

@Hopeful71 Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean. The MP sketch was really just about a guy not being able to speak because the interviewer took up the whole time clarifying his question.

[Hopeful71]

@curriejean

Yeah I got that. And I like the idea but I am just thinking that it would have been...."more digestible" if you did more of mixing the MP video with it's audio intact as a reaction to the Hitchen's interview. Played them side by side (in a manner) instead of on top of each other. As it is now, it took me several minutes to figure out what you were doing.

Just a personal opinion...take of it what you will. It's all subjective.

BTW, the AE cuts were great

[curriejean]

@Hopeful71 Okay, I think I get you. Personally, I like it to take time for me to figure out what's going on in something I'm watching. Piques interest for me. But if that's not common, I'll have to take that into consideration if I make another thing. Maybe come up with some kind of creative compromise. Thanks for the input! :)

@curriejean i thought it was awesome, well timed etc... love graham chapman laying across the desk: SHUT UP! SHUT! UP!

[TheRealScotius]

@brez002 I don't know which of my posts you're responding too, but I can assure you I'm not THAT complicated... let me know and I'll explain what I mean.

[TheRealScotius]

@wildcatlaw13 Nope. A friend of mine who had been a history professor at the university of Windsor and had studied some Latin told me the likely Latinized version of my name, Scott, would be Scotius.

[wildcatlaw13]

@TheRealScotius Got yeah, im in total agreement with you there.

By the way, is Scotius a play on SCOTUS (supreme court of the united states)?

[brez002]

@TheRealScotius To be honest, I don't really get what you're suggesting. That statement seems really vague; perhaps b/c it is too complicated to explain in a few hundred characters.

[brez002]

@TheRealScotius Yeah, well I can at least say that every story of personal experience I have heard would not have been enough evidence to convince me. In fact, I'm not aware of any claim that's been made that would even count as evidence at all. They usually seem to be people interpreting things to fit what they want to believe. And when it comes to the belief in a God, it is important to remember that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

[TheRealScotius]

@brez002 Since you sound open minded about this, I'd like to recommend a book to you called "The Way of Chang Tzu". Aside from simple observations, he makes some very complex ones. One I found particularly interesting was his observation about the various natural forces, how they go back to five elements, how those five elements go back to three, and how those three are really one. I'm sure you get what I'm suggesting, and it's intensely interesting reading.

[TheRealScotius]

@brez002 You sound utterly reasonable... what are you doing in this discussion? Anyway, you make your point in a much more friendly manner than some of the militants here, and I appreciate it. Granted, one person may not be able to "prove" to another that God exists, but I think it's also true that some people consider what they can observe to be ample evidence. For them, it's proven. For others, that might not be enough.

[brez002]

@TheRealScotius Having watched the atheist experience for years, I can tell you that Tracie would never try to demand that other people agree with her. Also, she has never said she proved God didn't exist. Atheism is not the position that God absolutely doesn't exist; it is simply a rejection of theistic claims. It is simply lacking belief in a God because theists haven't met their burden of proof. That is it.
