I love Michael Shermer, he's such a nice man ^^

[thetwentyteens]

You're a good man, Michael Shermer.

[friendlycakeasaurus]

the whole thing explaining why we believe strange things, about how we are descendants of the hominids that were pattern-seeking by nature was brilliant. makes so much sense

[BatmanOneOhOne]

The Believing Brain was an excellent book. Made me want to be a psychologist.

Thumbs up if you put effort into not thinking A always leads to B!

@propoetide

You're a patronizing sack of shit

You think Mike SHermer gives a rats ass about your opinion? Maybe its you whos not helping his cause when you come with whiny petty crap like that

BTW i thought you were leaving but you're still here, next to an idiot you're also a liar?

Tsk tsk, too bad clowns like you call themselves sceptics

[propoetide]

@sonykroket Temper, temper kid. I have responded, even though it wasn't needed since you're incapable of keeping a head clear enough to argue anything.

[sonykroket]

@propoetide

Ill respond however the fuck i want to, its you whos coming with the childish stupid shit. You pay peanuts, you get monkeys, comprende shitstain?

BTW by whining about language you admit you have no good response, especially if you use it as a reason to be a chickenshit

[propoetide]

@sonykroket If you want to be responded to like an adult, you shouldn't talk like a kid, kid. Ask your parents for some pointers on respect - you're in dire need. Another important pointer: it's okay to be critical of your heroes. I am, don't be afraid to join in. As a fellow skeptic, I want Michael to be as effective in combating religious ignorance as possible.Look up the word pastoral in your dictionary, let it sink in, then try a cogent argument. Good night, kid.

@propoetide

Funny you should say that as it was you starting with the offtopic judgemental BS about Mike and how he looks according to your silly opinion

Just because you call someone a troll and say the case is closed doesn't mean they are, fuckspank

I guess you needed a reason to weasle yourself out of this pickle, projecting fartbrain
