i think we should let the record show that i prefer "super magnificent awesome" over "super duper awesome." it's a pretty important distinction.

and you're still wrong. a logical argument -- the only acceptable kind -- is comprised of a claim supported by reasons.

i simply posted a claim. an opinion. i would never make an argument that no god exists for the same reasons that i would never make an argument that bigfoot doesn't exist or aliens don't exist -- i can't prove it.

even guys like dawkins say that on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being "there is a god" and 10 being "there is absolutely no god" they are only a 9 because you can never truly prove that there is no god. it'd be foolish to try.

that's why i didn't make the argument.

Uh, guys, I'd be careful arguing with rjackanumbnut here. He really knows his stuff on this topic, and he's done, well, all of the research.

It was already determined that we should immediately defer to rjnutterbutter in any and all situations.

you worship a copy + pasted religion. sorry if you're not smart enough to figure that out. also don't be so hostile towards my name -- i've stuck with it since the 4th grade.

Dammit nut-head I love you. I seriously do. If you or I lived in a state where gay marriage was legal, I'd propose to you.

You make Xenox seem non-combative and terse... and this is coming from someone your age, who is a self-admitted gunner and possibly considering law school somewhere down the line.

If it's full of people like you, then lawyer jokes are well deserved.

p.s you're a polisci major aren't you?

Ed, I did all the research, and I've decided he's all BS. Sorry if you're not smart enough to figure that out.

You don't know anything about how, what, or why I worship. In fact, you don't even know if I worship, so go ahead and wipe all notions you have about my worship habits right out of your head. Also, you'd be well served not to assume you know the first thing about my intelligence.

People actually call you "Peanut?" I think you should be upset with them, rather than with my jabs at it.

my favorite uncle called me peanut before he died. it became my login for everything. i don't have a nickname anymore. stop hating son.

I believe it's time to "unsubscribe" from this thread ... I'm tired of seeing it pop up.
