Hi Na'vi,
Naw, I'm through with fighting. I've been trying to treat everyone recently as a good friend. Everyone's ideas are very special even if I don't agree with them. You are special too!

A goatherd is not a shepherd and a shepherd is not a goatherd. A shepherd herds and takes care of the goatherd.

It would be the shepherd who would do the writing, not the goatherd. I am under no illusion. Maybe you should take a little more time to read what you wrote before hitting the "Submit Reply" button?

This is what you originally wrote:

Yeah the trouble is that religions believe the answers given by bronze age goatherds to those questions. That's why they are considered retarded. Do you get it yet?
You said nothing about shepherds.

Epic Pedantic FAIL!

Goatherd - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

A goatherd is to a herd of goats what a shepherd is to a flock of sheep.

Watching someone be a snarky pedant is funny.

Watching someone fail at being a snarky pedant is absolutely hilarious!

"Uhhmm... so like... uhmmm... what percentage of time was spent by the general public and school teachers like 500 years ago, then 200, then like uhmmm... 100, and then 50, and finally now, on like, valid demonstrable scientific methods and the factual information they bestow on us imbecilic people, Mr. Gldn? Or, like, what percentage of our useful brain was filled with useful facts on those dates versus like now?"

You can imagine that Christian steamroller a'crushin' and a'rollin' along all you want and need, but frankly, Gldn m'boy, I think it's perhaps inevitably and inexorably losing some of it's imaginary inertia. nd one day... screeck.. it'll come to it's eventual and guaranteed halt.

And will then be just a rusted-out and humorous museum piece in the history on man.

Now rifle...I have always been straight up as far as my opinion as respects Mr. rifleman...you know where you stand in my opinion!
It's this kinda thing again: http://www.city-data.com/forum/20980845-post13.html.

I really wish the world was free from religion...but I deal in REALITY...so I know that won't ever be the case.
Whatever it losses in some places, it will gain in others.
It's not going anywhere...not for foreseeable future anyway.
So instead of getting squished by the steamroller...I'll try to steer it and direct it toward something that needs smoothing out. A kinda "work within the reality of the situation" method.

It's like porn. Lots of people can't stand it...and they wish it didn't exist. They can't understand the great interest and focus on such a simplistic, "base", and to them, disgusting, thing...and it bothers them that sooooooo many devote so much time and resources to it.
So they point to places where it is waning...but ignore places where it is gaining ground...because they WISH it didn't exist. But their wish won't change the mindset of the masses...porn isn't going anywhere...neither is religion.

I really wish the analogy between religion and porn actually did hold. At least porn is almost always done in private. Few people try to get people to watch the same porn they do. Few people try and dictate the choices people make in law, government and education based on their own choice of porn.

I rather think that some religious people could learn a lot by how many people practice their porn use.

I'm so glad that you have as little understanding of the English language as Micky does, it explains a lot about your ridiculous beliefs. Thanks for that.
