Dark Truth: …...I dont need everything spelled out for me. His posts provide plenty of evidence as to his view of god. Whats your problem? Cant take a little constructive criticism?
DADDIO: Ok. Here's the post that Dark Truth claims contains “plenty of evidence” as to what Copenhagen means by the word “God”.
From Copenhagen:
------------------------------------------------------------
If people are going to persist in peddling jesus, etc in this room, then
could one of them offer a proof for god that is
a) logical
b) not based purely on a subjective appeal to oneself
c) not contingent upon dubious historical texts
Thankyou

According to Dark Truth, I’m stupid for not understanding exactly what Copenhagen means by the word God and my request for a clearer definition of the most abstract word in the English language, pursuant to a rigorous, logical proof of the object’s existence, is indicative of being undereducated and intellectually inept. Furthermore, my suggestion that such a request is indicative of higher intelligence and not lower, marks me as arrogant, self-deifying, and in need of a “tire deflation”.
Let’s examine these accusations one at a time:
1) After careful scrutiny, it seems to me that only one of us can be correct. I am either having a meaningful insight into the nature of Copenhagen’s request or I am just too ignorant to fully comprehend the request as stated. It is on this stage that I would like to keep Dark Truth engaged until he has accepted my point as valid, but he’ll have nothing to do with such a debate, because, in essence, he has already lost it via this last round of posts where I have provided a very reasonable, coherent explanation as to why I require more information from Copenhagen and where Dark Truth has only spat at my feet with deep shit like “whatcher problum boy”.
Which leaves us where? With me still waiting for his and Copenhagen’s secretly agreed to meaning of the word “God”. If its so damn obvious, then why doesn’t Dark Truth just tell me what it is and get it over with? He says he’s all jacked up to “take me to town” on the “existence” debate, but I have to wonder about his level of commitment to this when
a) he won’t spill the beans on Copenhagen’s meaning of the word God,
b) he still hasn’t bothered to read my post concerning atheism for which he has confidently offered up a critique (no need for tire deflating HERE),
c) I haven’t even declared my position in this debate since I’m not yet sure what its even about!
2) I made the politically incorrect statement that I was more intelligent and more religiously inclined than most people. Both of these claims hold true for 50% of all humanity by ANY definition of “intelligence” or “religion”. Recognizing that I’m somewhere in the upper half of a bell curve does not constitute a superiority complex. But calling me stupid for pointing at a gaping hole in Copenhagen’s request when you have invested your whole life being too blind or too afraid to see even a pin prick, IS indicative of an INFERIORITY complex that I would be glad to put under the microscope and THEN you’ll have your “pissing contest”.
So make your move partner. What’s it gonna be? Answer the God question, Pissing Contest, or lay down your weapons until we meet in friendlier threads. Its your call.
