The FSM works in mysterious ways.

So does that make me a prophet????????? When they read about me 2000 years from now I'm gonna be famous!

You're not a prophet but you do have a personal relationship with him. Kinda like Ragu.

Splendour, you are the antithesis of "intuitive". If you didn't read it somewhere, or it disagrees with what you already believe, then it doesn't exist.

Nice try though, it sounds good.

You like hypotheticals now?

If you can't tell the difference between real life situations that people encounter and a hypothetical or fantasy one (the little word "if" doesn't necessarily make a statement hypothetical, y'know) then I suggest you don't argue or engage in religious debate any more and spend more time just pondering the Word of God and ask God for enlightenment on it before reading it.

It's easy to trick the mind with false comparisons y'know.

That's probably why so many people engage in cognitively distorted posts in this forum.

15 Common Cognitive Distortions

everyone once in a while she types something so perfectly written to do the opposite of what she's supposed to be doing that I give consideration to the long held (but usually discarded theory) that she's an elaborate satire.

I'm about 50/50 on that hypothesis, seriously.

I've often thought the exact same thing.

I have trouble believing someone would spend 7-8 years dedicating the amount of time she has on these forums, spending time outside the forum researching material to link to to support a fake position... all the while never breaking characters, never accidentally saying something reasonable by mistake. I just think its much more likely that she's what she appears to be.

As everyone points out... Poe's law. We know people like her have existed. There's no good reason why one couldn't show up here.

They're called cdesign proponentsists, Splendour.

I think she does break character, just in subtle ways. Look at how often she forgets that she's a Universalist.

A great con must be effective. Are you conceding that the FSM shtick is really one of the most effective שטיק?

This is my current favorite hottie Deborah Ann Woll, she stars on True Blood. She is a Celiac too and is very awesome.
Her hair is the color of His Sauce and this is surely a sign that FSM wants me to marry her.

EDIT: for disbelievers in FSM, what are the chances I read her mini bio and read about celiac disease for the first time ever (that I can remember) and
then saw it mentioned here for the first time, connected both and immediately found a reply? FSM truly works in strange ways.

I don't consider that breaking character. She picks up various key words that she likes to drop everywhere, she reads a book then mentions in nearly every thread for months at a time, she can literally change what she believes about something on a whim.

She consistantly self labels herself as a Christian but what that will mean varies throughout time. If she reads a paragraph on the back of a Christian Self Help book she may modify her beliefs on the spot and reference that book for months (acknowledging that she hasn't actually read the book).

She has literally spent months labelling people as moral relativists (as a criticism of atheists) then turns around and argues about how morality is relative (to explain slavery and Biblical genocides).

What's consistant is her not understanding the use of terms she uses or articles she links to. If she declared herself a Universalist and stuck to it... that would her breaking character. Or if she stopped constradicting herself.

Arguing that she's not inconsistent because her inconsistency is consistent seems like a logical fallacy, but I'm not going to press the point.

This is SOP for many Christians.

There is still hope. She can always come to accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster as her Lord, Savior, and evening meal.

If you don't know what the word "hypothetical" means, then I suggest you don't say "I don't do hypotheticals" any more and spend more time pondering a dictionary and ask someone for help before reading it.

What makes a statement "hypothetical, y'know" in your opinion?

best RGT post ever

Yes it was, yes it was.
