Probably because on most other matters (e.g. The shortcomings of right-wing politics) you either agree with him or haven't strongly identified yourself with a stance.

There is a figure of speech called irony. It is not the same as lying.
Croesos does it all the time. Of course, Croesos is as annoying as a wasp in a portaloo and half the time Croesos does actually cross over into straw mannery. So you may have something of a point. But right now I'm not disposed to give myself anything other than the benefit of the doubt.

This is a complete and perverse misreading. Saying the same thing as SusanDoris (or LeRoc or IngoB) is not the same as talking about the same thing as talking about the same thing as SusanDoris and LeRoc and IngoB.

Since this is Hell, I can observe that Justinian comes off like he is backed into a corner and chucking tomatoes at whoever comes too close.

I cannot expect people to believe “
Jesus loves me, this I know” of they don’t believe “Kelly loves me, this I know.”

That's what they said about imaginary numbers, until physicists found a use for them in describing electromagnetic fields. I would be very careful about writing off some part of mathematics as useless. It's the sort of ignorant judgment that has a way of coming back to bite you in the arse.

Thank you. This saves me the trouble of trying to think up a way to say this.

To be honest though, the moment the guy went "Show me an empirical way to demonstrate God" I knew the thread was a wash.

You could as easily ask for 'an empirical way to demonstrate love', but fewer would oppose the existence of love.

Gotta be honest, it's not even that. It's just that that's one of those statements that signifies the beginning of an Endless Circular Argument With No Conclusion, Resolution or Understanding Ever and OH FUCK ABANDON ALL HOPE ABORT ABORT

Was that Justinian? I thought it was lilbuddha. I thought Justinian had more nous when it comes to arguing the existence of God. He just disregards the premise on false grounds which he can't provide the evidence for.
But you're quite right nevertheless.
As for Dafyd, I had to google mendacity. I hate having to google words. Offends my sense of verbal superiority.

On the contrary. There's a hole in the middle you could drive a truck through.

I miss rings, even if I only dealt with them for 4 weeks of my life in total. It was fun knowing that 3 x 4 = 5 and that 3 and 4 are both square roots of 2.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.
