I can't help it if you in your paradigm don't want to know the truth. - SH88

Racists always seek to become the martyr. They want their beliefs to be attacked. They want to be labled. They welcome mocking and name-calling and derision. Winston Churchill said: "The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is." There's a host of similarly famous quotes about the truth always being attacked the willfully ignorant. If the racists can just get people to attack them, then it vindicates their beliefs - it reifies them - because after all, everyone knows that those who speak the truth are ridiculed. Solitary Hiker88's behavior is so banal in this respect. His posturing, his bravado, his "if I can just reach one person" - all symptomatic of shallow self-affirmed delusion. How a person can revel in something so hollow is beyond me.

Come to think of it, Christians behave similarly - hence their persecution complex. They too have the intellectual need to be attacked, lest their house of cards falls down around them from lack of self-affirmation. LOL - two birds with one stone.

Mutt, I wonder what it says about somebody's "intellectual need" when a person feels it necessary to engage in behavior where they often vocally criticize a particular group.

Just thinking out loud.

Sarge, religious myth is the greatest danger to truth. Why would you speak out against its exposure? Perhaps you have an unsavory self-interest in maintaining the fiction?

Oh wait, you're talking about me speaking out against racists, aren't you. My bad. Are you an 88 too?

Mutt,
The fact is you feel the need to attack others on here, especially Christians.

Another fact is that you've claimed that Christians have a need to be attacked. What is that based on? That we defend ourselves? We have been commanded in the Bible by God to defend our faith, so that fact that we do that proves nothing other than we try to obey what we believe are commands by God. You can assume otherwise, but what is your proof? I can prove you have the need to criticize religions, what proof do you have the Christians are not just trying to obey their God?

Okay, prove it. A synthesis - not just links.

Oh, and I do believe that Christians are "just trying to obey their God". That's what makes them so dangerous. The Bible is nothing more than another piece of self referential affirmation, in this context.

Mutt, before I do, just how many quotes would be acceptable to you? How many quotes of you attacking Christians in a childish manner would confirm that you have a need to do so?
Sarge

Not really - it's just another piece in the persecution complex.

Still waiting for that proof.

Ask yourself first if that would meet the criteria to prove a need. And be specifically honest.

Maybe, crash bang, but I'm right about Solitary Hiker88.

Even Jesus agrees.

“Ask yourself first if that would meet the criteria to prove a need. And be specifically honest.”

Mutt -

I'm was using the same criteria you used - the fact that it happens means its a need. Now that you've accepted you were wrong and have changed your original premise, my point has been made.

reference-
They too have the intellectual need to be attacked, lest their house of cards falls down around them from lack of self-affirmation. LOL - two birds with one stone.

Your premise is false, so of course your conclusion is false as well. So much for logical discourse.

You did in fact admit that Christians are "just trying to obey their God". That contradicts your original claim of "They too have the intellectual need to be attacked, lest their house of cards falls down around them from lack of self-affirmation."

I already asserted it isn't a contradiction: http://www.thebackpacker.com/trailtalk/thread/49010,1.php

Obeying God's commands trumps intellectual needs.

No, YOU asserted wrong.

And making another baseless assertion? Tsk-tsk. I'm afraid I'm going to need objective proof of that with links.
Mutt

Where? I showed you exactly where you asserted wrong. Where did I? You can't deny yours was wrong, so you try to turn around my claim about you onto me, but with nothing to show for it.

You asserted it isn't a contradiction, but clearly a Christian's need to obey God trumps his intellectual needs, by definition. That is what makes him a Christian.

What did I assert incorrectly? Don't just throw out a claim just to mimic me when you've got nothing to back it up.

It does? Says who? You'll need to provide an objective source speaking from a generalized perspective; ie not the Bible. But really, this is a red-herring. It's all part-and-parcel of this kind of pattern maintenance (which I said already).
