Magic of Reality

I had to watch it twice because a meal that delicious demands seconds. Suck on that, Laden.
(I hope not more than two people click that link as I'd hate be accused of a DDOS attempt)

I hope you realize that you just made poor Greggie spit up in his mouth, you bad man. :D

I love how they try to shift the burden of proof to those of us who say we don't know or we can't know what someone else thought, heard, or saw -- it's deliciously ironic. The smarter ones say it doesn't matter, it's EG's actions that matter. But even if that were the case, there was nothing wrong with his actions. He was well within his rights to do what he did (the smarter ones also admit this); whether it was a good idea is a different issue. Clearly it wasn't a good idea to ask Rebecca, but it would have been fine to ask me. We can't expect guys to read minds, and we can't read minds ourselves. That should be the end of this silly debate.

You make the unwarranted assumption that EG actually exists, and is not an all-too convenient fabrication.

The iPad edition is even more beautiful than the hardback!  http://coffeelovingskeptic.com/?p=962 
I have both :D (and will get my hardback signed by Dawkins this month!! :D )
I can't wait!

Stank said...

I... I just think it should be "*Jolly* good show old chap" in the feedback.

The Justicar said...

Wouldn't fit. :(

The only thing worth noting is that Laden, for lack of better expression, is within his rights to think ERV should "grow out of" her 4chan humor, just as she would be to tell him to fuck off.

0verlord said...

I see this repeated, and it's true.  Still, she's not on trial so it's not a matter of "beyond reasonable doubt."  Even assuming the guy exists there are plenty of problems with what she and her flock have to say, so I see no reason not to grant that assumption.

The Justicar said...

I grant it for the sake of argument, but I have made it quite clear in the past (and this is still true), I do not accept on the evidence available that EG actually existed.

But, as I said, for the sake of the conversation I grant that he did exist to point out problems with the whole thing even taking at face value every word she said is morally certain.

The Justicar said...

Just the same as JZ Knight's followers are within their rights to think a 35,000 year old dead really does live inside her.

Maria Maltseva said...

Ha. I now have my own page in the Pharyngula Wikia, calling me an "accommodationist cupcake" and a "bullshitter,: and stating saying that I attacked people with schizophrenia, for starters. 

The Justicar said...

One day I'll have my own!

Michael Kingsford Gray:
Do you mind if I e-mail you?

Bluharmony said...

Someone edited mine. And Phil's. Fancy that.

The Justicar said...

Where? Here?

I've edited one comment in the history of this blog, to correct a hotlink that was stopping the remainder of the comment from showing up. It was by Kevin and is in my post on Sam Harris.

0verlord said...

Did you get a load of the "cupcake" definition on the Memes page?  What a riot!  It's so bad I actually have to question if it's parody.

0verlord said...

I think she's talking about the Pharyngula Wiki.

Bluharmony said...

Yup, the Pharyngula Wiki it was. Gonna go see the "cupcake" definition now, though personally, I take it as a term of endearment.

Bluharmony said...

"Anyone with a different opinion." I think that says it all right there.

The Justicar said...

huh?

spectator said...

Can someone tell me what OM means on the baboon board? I know if ask over there, they'll throw cupcakes at me. It's not in the wiki. The posters that use this suffix could easily be described as obnoxious moron? Is that what it is?

But I do have a question about the book promo, too. Does Richard have a scientific explanation for how water was turned into wine? It wasn't like he planned it ahead or anything.

The Justicar said...

Order of the Molly; it's voted on by the baboons to honor a particularly helpful baboon each month.

0verlord said...

"Cupcake" is the substitute word for "cunt."  It's obviously less offensive because it's gender-neutral.  I'm more enlightened than you SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO MEEEEEEE

Scented Nectar said...

That's funny. One of the pharyngunutters pretty much accused me of BEING schizo yesterday at Laden's blog. Do as we say, not as we do, I guess. :)

Scented Nectar said...

Nope, they are scared of you. If they are too scared of someone, they get all superstitious about saying their name. They might do so however if some of the letters of your name are replaced with an asterisk.

Scented Nectar said...

In the same way that cupcake is a term of endearment for you, I am embracing and welcoming the Comic Sans font. I always did like it, and since the Pharyngufuckheads use it to represent people they hate, it's GOT to instead represent something good, I figure.

The Justicar said...

Read your first sentence aloud. And then laugh with me.

The Justicar said...

Oh, ok. I was nervous. Thanks.

The Justicar said...

Except that cupcake is a common pejorative for gay people.

I like this shell game. I wonder how many words we can get them not to say because some group finds it personally, deeply, offensive.

The Justicar said...

Oh, well, that's nothing. At least schizophrenia is a believable mental disorder, unlike prosopagnosia.

I knoω this if οff tοpic but Ι'm looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get setup? I'm аѕѕuming having
a blog liκe yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100%
sure. Any ѕuggеstiοns or adviсe would bе
greatly аppreciated. Thanks
