Stephen fry explained it better than anyone could. Such eloquent intelligence is clearly lost on a frenchman with no listening skills.Quote:

Tell the truth Butters, you haven't actually listened to any of the threads above, in totem, have you?
^ Clearly he has not.
the video ? yes I did, they were extremely boring, and I did cut them before the end. One was about 1 hour long, for Christ sake :)Quote:

Do you mean they used words that you weren't familiar with?
tried to watch that one, his voice and tone is highly annoying, philosophers, actually more like a speaker, for the simplistic mass :)Quote:

it seems to be monologue, hardly debates, again I might have missed it, or maybe it's far in the video and I cut if off.Quote:

Butterfly, you are a stinker. An absolute cad and a bounder. Damned french chappie with the attention span of a goldfish.

I would like to have seen Butterfly's philosophy major tutor's face while he was trying to mark one of Butterfly's essays. Groaning, head in hands, nervous twitch, reaching for a bottle of whisky, applying for stress related leave and early retirement :)
:yerman:,, thanks for those clips on Chris. Hitchens jj . I had never heard of the guy before but i found him really interesting. The intellectual argument.. and the other chap peter hitchens asking what do we replace christianity with. The understanding of our make-up and how all that came into being might show us. ie the Self and how that functions . Then we don't need to replace christianity with anything outside. It's all inside us.
You're welcome.Quote:

Face life as it comes. You can die only once.
Just let it all out mate. Externalise. :)
he didn't meet god yet, let's hope he will one day and be saved
You've met him then?Quote:

Does he wear yellow? Does he deal in drugs? Is he druggie scum, or some God-scum running a boiler room from your moobaan?
Where do you get the acid?
^ drugs will not get you to see it, wine might though :p
stop denying the kingdom of God, you will become a freeman, now you are a slave to your animal passion
