What, did he call gen a humanist? :shocked:
:think: Maybe this is just God allowing AB to irk you as punishment for your argument.

Nice try, Town. But I'm not irked in the least. Case dismissed.

GO's a fruitcake. Anyone who thinks a person can will themselves into being aroused by a packet of dry roasted peanuts is a hamper short of a picnic, just like his "message"...
In case you hadn't noticed this thread isn't actually about strippers as much as you like to use them as an example. Heck, you think it's wrong for a woman to dress attractively and have a drink and a dance in a bar don't you?

Yep, even a humanist's definition. Elevating man.... :think:

I don't understand. Why are you trying to isolate and demonize people who execute critical thinking?

You're a resident of LaLa Land. What would you know?
It's the example that first came to my mind, and it seems to be the one you're having such a fit over. :think:
Nope. I don't, but I'm sure your over-active imagination will never let go of the idea. You're sorta like a little pit bull in that regard.

No, it wasn't. I paused as I always do and left the note I typically leave when Sod has been posting a while in Quixote's. Read the prior post, then see the note and if you haven't read much of Quixote's go back and look at prior Gazettes with the same sort of "pause" note. I close it for those who go there to read it and not to see someone trying to stomp about.
Not unless you don't have much faith in your argument, in which case I agree and congratulate you.I saw my name and I read your carefully chosen quotes, as well. Quite the chest beating you had going on.
Sure, someone I like is so emotionally blind in her part that she's repeatedly offering about as low an insult as could be mustered. I'd expect you'd feel the same if I questioned your faith, but we'll never know since I haven't. In fact, I credited you with your own mind even when I didn't see the fruit of it (see: empathy).
Job's friends, as you do here, thought differently, they just knew he was getting his just deserts. You're both wrong and your thinking is dangerous because of what it invites, as I've noted prior.

Because she has a different definition of a humanist than you. Humanists are not the only people who think critically. In fact, glory is a humanist with regard to this topic and you, on the other hand, are an emotionally driven PC slave. You were brainwashed into your viewpoint and did not arrive at it through critical thinking.

Enough to know that people can't train themselves to fall in love with telegraph poles and lava lamps. Frankly, your opinions come straight out of fundy fruitloop land so have at it.
A fit? Hyperbole much?

Well good for you at least on that then.

Says the nut who thinks he's being "defrauded" if a woman goes into a bar and he's sexually aroused by her behaviour...

Once again you've missed the point. You're quite the expert at that, aren't you? You wouldn't have that problem if you were looking at the stripper's behavior instead of ignoring it or calling it "good".
Strippers are enticing men to sin....there is fault there, apart from the fault of the men who are watching, whether you happen to see it or not. Would you be so understanding if it was your wife doing the stripping? Go ahead and claim you'd be just fine with that. :chuckle:
Would you be faulting the men who watched and not her?

There is nothing wrong with critical thinking, Quetzal. The problem is when man allows his thinking to supersede God's. Man's ways are not God's ways....which is why it is so critical with these kinds of moral issues to go right to the source. Man likes to think that he knows best and he ends up believing he is the decider of right and wrong, and he can dictate what God can or cannot do.
Merriam Webster: a system of values and beliefs that is based on the idea that people are basically good and that problems can be solved using reason instead of religion.
I suppose that could apply to any agnostic or atheist, though they aren't inherently rational.
True.
Nonsense. That's like saying a person is a momentary atheist. Whatever you think of her reasoning she has it. It doesn't make her in any sense a momentary humanist. Even if a humanist agreed with her conclusion.
If that's your take on Quetz, and your approach, no one can accuse you of being a humanist, rationalist, or empiricist.
Are you guessing weights next? Let me have a go...you're...light.

If you say so. You can continue to call me a humanist in an attempt (however pathetic it may be) to make me look bad, if you wish. But, those are my guns and I am stickin' with em! It is my opinion that yours, on the other hand, are misguided and lined with venom and condemnation.
