I'm a little bothered by your statement that you don't believe you said anything that wouldn't lend to my being offended or returning your condescension. You called religious people and/or their beliefs "silly".
When I wrote that comment I thought that since it was indirect- explaining what some ...

Wrong, this is about a clash of philosophies. You're just not educated enough or open-minded enough to understand it. This is where the entire argument comes from:

Atheist : You're silly to even try to argue that there is a God. It's clearly been proven that there is no God.
Religious person ...

You are not saying that Creationists argue their belief in a bad way

Here's exactly what I said, pay attention: "...but once a debate such as the one in Kansas arises it does seem incredibly silly that some people are willing to accept the kind of arguments that Creationists use."




Wrong ...

Calling religion "silly" as you have done several times is insulting to those who have any belief in any religion, by association. So, an attack was made by you.

I didn't call religion silly. I said that the kind of arguments creationists use to try to convince people their theories are legit ...

What constitutes "inference", and on who's part?

Inference, noun: the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or making a logical judgment on the basis of circumstantial evidence and prior conclusions rather than on the basis of direct observation.
It's the second step in a deductive ...

How are you defining "logic"?


Logic being a form of inference and a standart of judgment that aims to lead to undisputable proof.
In the case of Intelligent Design what makes it not pass the test is the fact that it relies eventually on faith rather than concrete proof. Creationists believe ...

No, the "church of the flying spaghetti monster" is a lame attempt at attacking the philosophical premises that underly peoples' choices to believe in any particular religion or none at all.

I'm curious, what would those premises be?
The point of FSP is that intelligent design doesn't pass the ...

Doesn't look too good to me, looks like a B rate drama movie. She should do something more serious now that she got Holywood's attention.

Serously go to film school and learn how to se a camera
Actually they don't need to go to film school for that. The ability to see an object is something we all possess, so in order to see a camera one simply needs to move his eyes (and possibly head) so that the camera in question would be in his ...

Although you should note that in the very begining "Bree" DID reply to comments on her 'vlog' and thus she did essentially 'converse' with people watching her videos. It further made her seem more 'real' (and consequently more deceitful when found out) than not interacting at all, and it may have ...

There's an issue you're not taking into consideration here, and that's the effect of presentation. No matter what you do, even if you want to do something that's bad on porpuse, you still need to do it right .
LonelyGirl15's theme is based around a form of presentation that is intended to be ...

I would disagree that it's stupid to become emotionally invested in a person one knows through their "vlog," if only because some (many? most?) of the people who post such things on youtube are being legitimate or "real" and presenting their actual selves. (Or, at least, the actual self that people ...
