Granted, he's not wrong. Humility does not seem to be a virtue on this forum.


You are a realist. Nice.

Your reading comprehension seems quite good as compared to most.

Also, being unwavering in one's view doesn't make them pathetic.

Also, my mind has changed very fundamentally. I went from being a liberal American Democrat to being an Islamist.


In your travels of what I put, have you seen any instance where I should have changed my mind, or was I mostly right and that my interlocutor should have changed his or her mind?

As to insults. Who began them in my various conversations?

I sometimes wish I had my bully side under better control, but in order to be able to try to get non-thinkers to think, you have to risk being offensive and I do not mind taking the heat for being in a religionist's face, especially given the damage religions do with their homophobia and misogyny.

So OP's a hypocrite trying to save face.

Awesome.


No. Read my reply above please.

It is more of me getting in someone's face to try to make them think.

Many stand, but do not have the wit to offer decent arguments or rebuttals against my positions, which usually speak to moral issues. My forte.

Cowards cannot be moral.

Actually cowards can be quite moral. For they moralize the importance of their lives over others. May not be good morals, but its morals none the less to philosophy.

Probably because we're very politically diverse. The drastic contrast makes it more obvious.

If by politically diverse you mean "Everyone hides in one thread and then attacks each other in full-blown meme warfare when something happens", then yes, you're right

OP, I've seen a few of your threads and I'd like to make a recommendation: If your thread title is too long to completely fit, maybe come up with pithier titles cause unfinished thread titles look weird.

As for the Tower of Babel thing, it's just a fictional story and I don't think it really reflects on human nature at all, more so just that those who wrote it wanted to craft an allegory about not pissing off God.

Sounds more like the dramatic movie adaptation, but sure.
