More ad hominem to hide the fact you have nothing intellectual to offer.

Not surprised you might think so given what you confirmed long ago with regard to your perspective about all this, but when it comes to learning, to be selective about time and subject is not intellectually lazy. Given all there is to learn and consider about such things, and so little time generally speaking, I felt I devoted more than enough time to this read than is intellectually justified. Just like so many of the comments posted in this forum. Long or short. Some are worth the time and consideration. Others are simply not.

As for tedious, you should please note those were the author's self-description. My opinion too.

I just call 'em the way I see 'em.

Yours as always

You will never acquire the Truth you seek with that attitude toward rigorous analysis, but you will (like the religious) develop a "satisficing perspective" that placates your curiosity and satisfies your ego needs as a rational intellect. It is its own form of bliss equivalent to that provided by ignorance.

Yes of course, and also of course I would say it is you who has not done the necessary "analysis," rigorous or your very own special kind, because lots you tend to explain doesn't pass muster with a good many others besides me. Lots that suggests more analysis is needed on your part in any case.

As one who continues to toss all these insults along the way too, regarding ego and intellect, ignorance and laziness, I'd say your "analysis" involves far too much emotion. Seems you are the one with the ego problem. Not me, but let's not get back to this kind of predictable exchange.

I'm quite content to go my way while you go yours...

And not a god. Remember, you have proven atheism is both true and false (and that libraries think). You need to get hip to that.

Yes, it is strange Mystic has not talked about what is in the paper, and seems to be ignoring my post where I showed some of the flaws in it.

It appears he is too lazy to read it, and would rather just pretend.

I'm "too lazy" to pay attention to much Mystic goes on about...

In part because I'm no longer learning anything new about anything Mystic has to explain. My shortcomings and deficiencies included. Here too we see how "perspective is everything." One man's lazy is another man's prudence. AKA good judgement and better use of time. Though I do falter along these lines more often than I would like.

Sometimes it's hard not to scratch an itch...

As usual...you restate that which is indicative of your ignorance and lack of understanding.
But...my Geppetto Pavlov persona thanks you. Thasa Guboy Harry!

Ha, you still fail to understand the flaws in your arguments. Your Dueling Banjos Patois suggests why, but I do hate to generalize.

I just posted a comment in another thread about wanting to learn new things...

Sadly, I think this forum hasn't delivered much along those lines for awhile. Today all the less so. No doubt past time for me to sign off now and get onto better things.

Here's to tomorrow and a good weekend to all!
