I know I haven't been around here as long as some of you guys but I can't remember Heisenberg getting stuck in to anybody like he has Kaendar...
When do you get a soul??

We all experience moments of frustration. I can hardly blame Heis, unarguably the most level headed individual in the SS&P sub-forum, for a lapsed moment of clairty.
Dude deserves it, and I can't blame him.

You haven't been around enough I guess. I can think of half dozen easily.

I'm fairly sure you've had a thing or two to say about some of my posts in the past...You haven't been around enough I guess. I can think of half dozen easily.

I dont understand why someone with no spirituality would even be here? The only point of being here is to try and convince people otherwise.. and that my friend is a loser. Its like going to a gay pride parade just to tell them they are going to hell. Nobody wants that around. Its not contributing or benefiting anybody.

Quite humorous you would say that considering you've never defined what 'spirituality' means...
I'm here to show people why their absurd claims are absurd, in a reasonably classy, non confrontational manner, which I personally feel, has been relatively successful.
The analogy you used is also quite humorous, as it's not a valid analogy at all..
Carry on..

So for like the tenth time you admit that your here to fuck with people. Thats the point CWE is trying to make. Your like a crooked politician, you abuse your power to spread your personal beliefs and put down others. Thats not cool at all. Like I said before. We know how you feel. Stop telling us. I think 101 times of hearing "your claims are absurd" gets it thru my head. Obviously its not changing anything so why keep wasting your time?

Pointing out the absurdity of someones claim is "trying to fuck with them"?
I think you need to reevaluate your reasoning.
If something is proven to you to be wrong, is it not absurd to continue believing it?
Why keep wasting your time explaining your absurd ideas if nobody on the board buys them?

Did you fail to read the word "Philosophy" which is located right next to the word "spiritual" ? Ah, im sorry, i forget. You aren't a philosopher, not a thinker... merely a fallower of ideas.
We share, we think. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we have differing opinions. It's the jackasses like you who are ruining these threads. Whenever someone has an opinion that doesnt agree with your perceptions of existence you get your panties all bunched up.
Many of us are here to acquire hightened critical thinking skills, some are here to learn more about what people think... and especally WHY people think the thoughts they do. We are here to learn, to question, to doubt and discuss.
You are here only to do that which you claim to refute, to convince people of your ideas.
Those of us here who are really contributing are merely saying in one way or another "Maybe we all shouldn't be too certain of ourselves and the ideas that we grasp on to. Weather it be spiritual, mystical, reasonable, mundane... " When dealing with any idea that can't be proven as fact... it fits in with fantasy, no matter what your emotions tell you.
A soul is not fact, regardless if we do have one or not (which no one knows) it is fantasy, imagination.
Those who claim certainty in the absence of it are filled with FEAR.
Those who understand that nothing is certain are filled with COURAGE.
"Uncertainty in the presence of vivid hopes, fears and dreams can be extremely painful... but must be endured if we wish to live our lives without the support of comforting fairy tales" -Russel
^There are more of those who cannot live with uncertainty, than there are those who can accept the things that we do not know.

And you dodged the question. Once again, if what you say isnt gonna change our beliefs, then why waste your time saying it? Dont answer my question with another question.

I understand the philosophy part. But that doesnt explain the constant interrogation on posts that are clearly about god or religion.

It doesn't matter if what I say changes anyones opinion or not. That's not the point. The point is to plant a seed, in anyones mind who might be reading along, believer or nonbeliever, to inquire for themselves.

Ok, well you have sowed an entire crops worth of seeds. Sit back and see if they grow. In the mean time, stop wasting your time..

I think a lot of times when we attack others with claims that are obviously not true... what is really going on, is that this is merely a projection of ourselves that we direct at another in order for us to keep from looking within. Most of the time, when we look within, we can see that it is really us who are acting the fool rather than the other.
I think everything said here that is directed towards one of the most respectable humans here on RIU (Heis)... is merely a projection of yourself and the flaws that regard who you are as a person. I think some self refection is in order here, but will probably go unnoticed and become ignored.

Words like yours Padawan only bother those people that don't have true faith...

Because you say it over, and over, and over, and over again. Its more annoying than anything. I understand how you feel but thats not gonna make me change. Your constant attempts are just becoming irritating now.

You choose to be here, you choose to read what is written, you choose to become irritated/annoyed and you choose to reply.
You willfully choose to ignore what is truly the most important virtue (imo), self reflection.
