You stating your position is right and being unable to back it up is not 'highbrow discussion'. This flamefest is more intellectually taxing than any of your arguments.
My position is right only because thus far no one here has managed to refute it.
Thank you, for proving my point. Yet again.

Religious homophobe?! WTF?! :shock:
It means that you're gay, but because of your religious beliefs you can't/won't admit the truth, and therefore hate yourself and everyone around you because you force yourself to meet your Church's standards.
I see females also make poor psychologists. :D

Once again stop looking the mirror.

I am not the kind of person who refuses to alter my views as new evidence/arguments are presented. Thus far I have encountered no sound refutation of the first cause argument, so how can I change my stance? :?

Think of the price a piece of him would sell for....$200 per gram? $300?

I mean why do you need the matrix...a piece of him would plunge you into a fantasy world for years.

You're a gay lobotomized fundie retard.

The story there is a doozy, but frankly, you're too insignifigant for me to care. I just like letting off steam at utter morons who presume themselves superior, and upping my postcount.

Please, someone, lock this thread. It needs killing. It would be a mercy.

I am not superior, I am simply right with regards to the first cause argument. Since no one can successfully refute it, I must conclude that, for the time being, the argument is sound. :D

No, I just went to college... and was given that class as a manditory requirement for graduation, as it was for everyone that was taking any Science or Liberal Arts based courses.

Now, have you taken your SATs yet, or do you still have to complete the 5th grade?
