Texas, Other Details on DOOMED! Status

From Phil Plait. Something about Joseph McCarthy just pushes my berserk button.

Funny, if you knew anything about Einstein, you'd probably call him an atheist: He only used "God" as a poetic metaphor, and denounced the idea of a personal god as well as the afterlife as egotistical.

Not to mention that whether Einstein believed in god or not isn't really relevant. He also denounced quantum mechanics, and well, iPods work so that shows how much that counts for.

People can be an expert in one thing and completely fail to be all that intelligent when it comes to other things.

Oh and, yes I deny "ki" or "life force" or "quintessence" or whatever you want to call it. However, even if I deny I have "spirit particles", it doesn't mean I deny I am a self aware being. Just because you believe that the only way to acknowledge our conciousness is a "life force" doesn't mean we accept that premise. I'm self aware, I'm concious, I feel, and I believe it's all the result of chemical and electrical interactions in my brain rather than some other life force we've yet to detect. To claim we believe we're soulless automatons who don't feel anything is simply dishonest.

You're less coherent than ever, Dennis. Exactly how does a video about relativistic time dilation equate to atheists "deny[ing] their own life element"? What is a "life element"? And you do realize that Einstein didn't believe in a personal god, right?

You know, instead of telling people to implement comment moderation, you could just stop leaving stupid looney-bin spam comments everywhere.

See, I know how to copy and paste too.

Wow. This guy really is out of it. I like how he says

add some comment moderation to your blog of blasphemy...idiot...

in a comment...that has absolutely nothing to do with the post.

I've been away for awhile, this guy might serve to amuse me. I'm sure you're all sick of him though.

Does he respond when you talk to him like Cocksnack did or does he just do drive-by cut-and-paste? Let's see.

Dennis, why did you post a totally off-topic comment then request comment moderation?

Fucker left the same shit around Scienceblogs earlier. Lame troll is lame. And in desperate need of psychiatric intervention.

Just a drive-by. He might as well be a bot. Although modern bots are generally more sophisticated and variable in their behaviour...

Don said...

Dennis Markuze/David Mabus/Fucknugget is definitely no Cocksnack. He just leaves copy-paste drive-bys all over the place and never interacts.

Akusai:

That's the worst. At least Cocksnack let us beat him a little. He never recognized a thing we said and outright stated that if there was no gods he'd kill people. That right there is total troll awesomeness. Creepy scary awesomeness, but awesome nontheless.

Fun troll > lame, blocked troll. Kill this dude off BD.

Tom Foss said...

Every once in awhile, we'll say something and Dennis will get all upset and start cursing and spluttering all over the place. That's always fun to watch.

Incidentally, Cocksnack's on Twitter. I looked him up not too long ago. He seems ever so slightly less crazy.
