Maybe he could tell you about putting a space after a comma.

Well it's come to something when an "imaginary" friend can list the obvious reasons for not taking the video seriously that somehow managed to pass you by.

All four "objections" from Outlaw's imaginary friend are wrong but I gave up talking to imaginary friends a long time ago.

Obviously it must be extremely hard for you..

To make friends with anyone who has an Impressive Education..You already know it all..

They would become bored with you very quickly..

....................................................

Simon and/or Angharad are free to call me anytime they like..

I`ll make arrangements so they can speak with him..

To your point about context. Let me explain what I perceive to be the context.

What I see is someone who is committed to a materialist conception of the world vocally telling JWs and former JWs that they should conceive of the world in the same way. Only ignorance can lead to religious beliefs or deviation from a thoroughly materialist conception of reality.

I tend to think it's worth pointing out there are other ways of making sense of the world. And that while we can be fairly confident of many things (the shape of the earth and evolution) we should be humble enough to admit we could always be wrong.

And I think the worm eye view is a valid question. What you got against worms? How about a serious answer.

For Christians God defines truth.

For enlightenment materialists the human mind defines truth.

For postmodernists perspective defines truth.

Pragmatists ask why do we need to define truth anyway?

I prefer the latter options.

Outlaw - It took just 2 posts for the insults to begin.

You usually kick off with your first post when you are talking to me.

Is this a sign of progress?

slimboyfat

You're always searching for progress, is that the Whig in you?

OUTLAW

It`s not an insult

You obviously can`t comprehend me having friends with exceptional educations..

I can tell you from personal experience..

They end conversations very quickly,when dealing with "know it all" pseudo intellectuals..

They absolutely never become friends with people like that..

slimboyfat

I don't know about the broader context, but in this exchange between Cofty and OutLaw it seems to me the insults began with the phrase "imaginary buddy", not before or after. So it's a bit rich for Cofty to pin the blame on OutLaw.
