I am more than willing to accept any new data which can serve to warrant changing a previously-held position, that's what the scientific process is all about and one of the typically-dishonest thing theists like to claim is evidence of how science can't possibly be right because, you know, it keeps 'changing its mind'.

Whereas what you 'know' about your god, personally, is what you 'know'. Not what can reasonably be asserted, mind, just the absolutely certainty that you are right because . . .you 'know' . . .!

That's not sufficient and is actually a highly dangerous method for defining your reality, to simply believe something by way of subjective experience. Ever read about people who jump off high buildings because they believe they can fly? Do you have any idea how convinced somebody has to be to commit to that leap?

Prior to jumping, they would not be able to objectively prove that they had good reason to believe they can fly, but they sure as hell 'know' they can fly as they jump.

Except, of course, they can't.

The exact same thought process you are so desperate to cling to is the one which convinces people they can fly.

ORLY?


So your god is so awesome and way beyond your understanding, yet you continue to claim to know quite a bit about what he wants?

Do you not see the fallacy in that?

HAHAHAHAAAA!!! I genuinely laughed out loud at the mental gymnastics you must be having to perform to be this willfully ignorant.

I wonder whether you even believe what you write when you have to be that blatantly dishonest about how you are replying.

These, so-called, 'prophecies' are worded like astrological 'readings', they can be interpreted to suit any time and, one thing you and your ilk seem to forget, they have been heralding the impending 'end times' ever since they were written. Your death-cult is perpetually declaring the end of the world as being nigh.

Your failure to be able to critically examine the claimed 'facts' you wholeheartedly throw yourself into believing, is why you believe them, because you refuse to critically examine them.

It is a vicious cycle powered by . . .you.

This is just sad now. Homero didn't even bother replying to their pleas.

Because at this point it looks like he's been regularly fleeced by Homero long before GAW Miners and Paycorn.

Put it this way, he was somehow convinced by Garza that a phone which pulled up customer info was cutting-edge enough to warrant further investment. This was not in the 1980's.

Are they fuck the same argument. You're simply demonstrating your ignorance about the meaning of the scientific term, 'Theory'.


A scientific theory is rooted in an hypothesis which is still considerably superior a starting point as it requires a reasonable basis for formulating it in the first place.

The theist 'theory' you are alluding as being equal to that which is borne of objective processes, is the layman's meaning of the word, 'theory', which is equal to, "Hey, I have a theory about [insert arbitrary claim here]". Which is not at all the same thing and is usually less a sound theory and more wild speculation.

You'll also be needing to check up on the meaning of the term, "Ad hominem", it is not a commercial for a gay white rapper.

See, your failure to understand and practice intellectual honesty leads you to make baseless assertions as though they were fact and to utilise your 'absolute certainty' in the belief it lends credence to your almighty imagination

See, you're asserting something yet the basis by which you are asserting it is entirely fallacious.

You lack intellectual integrity. That is not an ad-hominem, that is a rational observation derived from the data you have thus far presented, namely, confidently asserted wild speculation as fact.

Nah, I prefer the New Universe that a god I just imagined is creating for me and any other cool person who knows that your god is a cruel merciless narcissistic egomaniacal bastard.

Thanks for playing though.

 

FYI, you need to check up on the meaning of the word, 'fallacious' it does not mean, 'a tasty blow-job'.

Oh for fuck's sake, are you genuinely this ill-educated or just pretending to be?


The 'Creation Museum' doesn't count, by the way, Xtians.

Look, I know you lot love to play your game of pretending-real-hard in order to convince yourself and each other of the validity of your 'facts', but please don't make statements like "there must be a creator", when the fact is there doesn't have to be a creator at all, a CREATION EVENT, yes, in terms of how this Universe came into existence, but it is a whole 'nother thing to fallaciously conclude that, because we don't know yet, then . . .god.

Put it this way, ANYTHING posited as a possible mechanism by which this Universe came to be is more likely than simply dreaming up some omnipotent deity, ANYTHING.

Seriously, to make a statement centered around our level of scientific advancement, by way of "we can't do [xxxx] so . . .god" is fallacious.

To make a statement centered around, "we don't know . . . therefore god" is fallacious.

Using your imagination to assert something as factual isn't just fallacious, it's utter bollocks.

No, that is not what I said at all. Nice try though.

What I said is that if it is not 'open to all' then there must be a qualifying set of conditions, which are defined by a governing body. It is this instance that then exposes the 'governing body' to liability for the project by way of them asserting their authority over the coin project.

Which is ENTIRELY different from declaring that all ICO's *must* be open to all.

Your legalese kung fu is extremely weak.

Oh Em Effing Gee! Do not go making statements you are clearly unqualified to make.

The establishment of a group responsible for determining the legitimacy, or otherwise, of those seeking to trade one coin for another confers the notion of authority and, as such, ownership of the project. If there is anything that the owners of a cryptocurrency project can be charged with, in terms of breaching various national or international laws, the governing body of the project would be held accountable.

I don't think I'd sleep particularly well at night putting my nuts on the line to try and keep this monstrosity alive for 'the sake of the community'.

If it isn't 'open to all' then the governing body is taking responsibility for vetting those who it is open to.

One word: Minefield.

Cynical and obvious schtick is cynical and obvious.


Firstly, he didn't buy Stuart a car for Christmas, he said he'd gift his Tesla to him in an attempt to get him off his back about the amount of money owed, then changed his mind and said Stu could buy it off him for a good price, before finally giving in shortly before Xmas day and awkwardly presenting it to him, still with 'Garza' vanity plate, as though he were doing him a huge favour. Trouble is he still has plenty of outstanding payments due on it!

From what I can gather, Homero owes EVERYTHING to Stu, who was clearly being tapped for large amounts of capital over the preceding years on the basis of whatever bullshit Garza was routinely spinning him at a place he references as Mt Snow

It strikes me that Stu was being fed non-stop techno-babble that sounded like it was the sort of 'innovation' which could lead to 'The Next Big Thing' and he was suckered into helping Homero finance his business ventures which apparently required the use of expensive cars long before he moved into fractional-reserve 'virtual mining', otherwise known as a Ponzi scheme.


What Homero Joshua Garza was thinking was that he'd get to consolidate some of his debt into a new structure where he'd be giving Uncle Stu even more share capital in a bunch of useless companies, while also requiring that several hundred thousand dollars of previous debt be forgiven because, you know, he's just sick of hearing about it all the time, right?!

Oh wow, I hadn't even realised quite how unhinged you truly are Jag! So some delusional lunatic posts about how he is an inter-dimensional being and you, what, just believe him?

Is that how it works or are you claiming there's actual evidence that he is an inter-dimensional galactic commander?

Oversight? Did you read that particular email exchange? I believe it went something like this:

GAW1: Hey GAW2
GAW2: Ummm, yeah?
GAW1: One moment
GAW2: OMGOMGOMGOMGOM I'm so sorry I don't know what I was thinking I just started using some of the discount vouchers and I was going to pay it back honestly but it just kinda ran away from me I can't believe I did this I am crying so hard that snot is dribbling down my chin please don't fire me I hate myself . . . .
GAW1: Huh? Wut? I mean, *cough*, yeah that was what I was going to speak to you about, you're in serious trouble young man.

Wasn't the whole point about this thread being created in response to the now-closed-because-the-damn-atheists-wouldn't-stop-disproving-our-claims-about-the-koran-itself-being-evidence-of-miracles thread, so that the Xtians could prove their 'holy' book was also evidence of the miraculous?

Simply spouting text from the stories about supposed miracles that took place isn't the same thing. The Muslims claimed that their text contained knowledge that COULD NOT have been known at the time by mortal man, albeit, these claims were rapidly shot down in flames as the absurd string of fallacious arguments they were, but their thread was at least about the claim towards trying to show their book as being more special than yours, Xtians.

So you can't just roll out a list of 'miraculous' events, as this is not the same thing as showing your eclectic collection of highly-edited-over-the-centuries cherry-picked old-and-new testament fables possess within them a quality which, by the mere fact of inclusion, serves as evidence that your book is moar speshul.

At this point it looks like you're losing. Come on Xtians! Make an effort here otherwise your book will, too, simply end up looking like it is, in fact, just a collection of highly-edited-over-the-centuries cherry-picked old-and-new testament fables.

I know, right? People were trying to get him to reign things in and understand how he was exposing everybody to potentially serious criminal charges and he just kept on swinging at his detractors and calling it a 'conspiracy' of FUD.

By all means, Willy, talk about Communism if you like, just change the title of the thread to not be "Miracles of the Bible" unless you can somehow tie in Stalinism with a bronze-age eclectic collection of myths and fables.
