Well I am one because that’s what you call someone who is not a theist, whatever you think that is. So I don’t believe in gods because I don’t see any need to. It seems that the only thing different between believing and not believing is that not believing means you get to do what you want on Sunday and you don’t have to do all the other stuff believers believe they should do. Like be bored to death in church and hate others because they don’t believe what you do.
Everything else is the same. The supposed god does not in any way affect what goes on. He does not answer prayers or intervene in floods and other disasters. He doesn’t reward good behavior. Same result as not praying or not believing.
Someone, Voltaire I think once said, “If there were no god it would have been necessary to invent him”, possibly so, if your goal was to control people. I don’t need that; I’m not a king or government. And since I don’t care for any more authority than is necessary, I don’t see the need to maintain the invention.
I discarded belief in god because it was worthless. The days when an espoused belief was an asset are fading. Politicians in this country still can’t get elected without it, but I’m not a politician. There are other human interactions where ‘having religion’ is still looked on as a plus, but I choose not to get involved with many of those and when I do, such as at funerals and weddings, I just keep quiet, or sit with my sister and laugh and make jokes.
Oh, and last but not least, believing in gods and all those made up stories about him just seems stupid. I mean, none of it holds up to scrutiny. It’s all silly nonsense.

Easy, kohlmumble! Three easy steps:

Great. It’s coming back. You sound like you again. Don’t lose it. Looks like you removed that cork that you had placed on the hole of that donkey-like creature. Why are so you protective of that hole anyway? Do you think other will violate its integrity? Do you have many atheist Darwinian biologist sharing your room?

Why bother? Because a lot of you wanted to see what a typical spiritual person looks/behaves like. Plus, I wanted that famous ‘banhammer’. I still do. I see some of you have already started to turn to your Guru for a ‘banhammer’. Great! I want that.
kohldamunga says

Kohlie:

Uh, no. Reading comprehension fail. We wanted a definition of “spirituality” and we wanted to know how that impacted the theory of evolution. You’ve yet to address the second point, by the way.
Plenty of us here (myself included) know “spiritual” people IRL. You’re not some sort of exotic specimen, just a dumbass. But go on thinkin’ that you’re all sorts of special– I’m sure your mommy tells you how smart and important and unique you are every night when she tucks you into bed.

Gregory Greenwood says
Having read kohldamunga’s hoggling, I feel an unaccountable need to channel stereotypical televison depictions of elderly people everywhere and complain that they just don’t make things like they used to, including trolls…
Grandpa Simpson/
“When I was a nipper, back in nineteen-dickity-two (we had to say ‘dickity’ because the Kaiser had stolen our number twenty), ‘blithering idiots’, that was what we called trolls back then, had something to say. Sure, they were under-educated morons with runaway Dunning-Kruger symdrome, but they actually tried to make some kind of point, however badly. Why, I remember debating a troll atop the Statue of Liberty. I set off for the big apple wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. We didn’t have any white onions, because of the war, so I had to make do with a yellow-and-purple polka-dot onion, which got me some funny looks, I can tell you…”
***Several brain-liquifyingly boring minutes later***
“… Time was, you could actually debate with a troll. Their arguments were stupid and riddled with presuppositionalist positions and cicular pseudo-logic, but eventually they would either starfart or we would solve the disagreement with good old fashioned ritualised gladatorial combat, and that would be an end to it, but these modern trolls – bah! Hogglin’ all over the place with their canned apologetics and ape-porn fixations… grumble… mutter…”
***An interminably long time later***
“… And that’s why they call it ‘doing a Ham’. Now, where was I..? Oh yes, the important thing was that I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time…”

Kohlfuckwit/Selachee is still using the same MO. I dealt with it on the other blog for a while. I think its a computer program designed for trolling. Takes what somebody says, repeats it, and adds gratuitous insults. Not sure if it would even pass a Turing test. ;)

Shorter Gregory Greenwood #537:
Ou sont les trolls d’antan?
kohldamunga says
They do. Every sentence, every word and every letter. Reality is that you call yourself the hole of a donkey, and you have demonstrated over and over why you call yourself that. Although one would say it takes a lot of effort to find a donkey, examine the hole, and then get inspired by both the donkey and his hole (assuming that it is male donkeys that inspire you).
Sally Strange, OM says
Mais ou sont les trolls d’antan?
Is becoming a meme around here, I think.

‘Tis Himself, OM @ 539;
Now I regret not understanding French.
Oh, the perils of a wasted youth…
kohldamunga says
You are right. Things have moved on. Everything but elderly people themselves. Their minds are frozen in a time that is passe now. They turn on their TVs and expect to see girls secretly asking for sex. Instead, what they see is semi-naked and sexually frustrated girls openly looking for sex partners. Then they really move on. After all, things haven’t progressed too bad in some directions… What’s your age, by the way?

Yes I know. But I guess it is something along the lines when you say ‘apple pie’ instead of apple’s pie. Or, Ice Cream Cake instead of Ice Cream’s Cake. Am I correct J Hole-of-the-dumbest-donkey-on-the-planet?
StarStuff! Because f**k you, that's why says
It could also be an “ass’s asshole”, since an “asshole” is slang for the anus.
kohldamunga says
So you are saying when J Asshole calls herself an asshole, she is calling herself the anus? I thought her IQ was higher than that. That’s why I chose the donkey, and not the anus.
Gregory Greenwood says
kohldamunga @ 543;
Not really the point of my post, but OK…
You do realize that the post was humourous, right? I was deliberately playing on stereotypes about the elderly. I believe I even wrote as much pretty umambiguously.
I take it you don’t know many elderly people? There are many millions of people that might qualify as ‘elderly’. To say that all of them have ‘minds frozen in the past’ is pretty ridiculous. Plenty of them are fully active and engaged with the modern world.
There is an important difference bewteen our posts – I was referencing stereotypes in order to mock those stereotypes (and, it must be said, to mock you at the same time). You, on the other hand, wheel out those stereotypes seemingly in earnest, whch is a really bad idea in these parts.
Where did this come from? How on Earth is it even tangentially related to my post? What makes you think that elderly people, as a group, expect to see anyone asking for sex at all when they turn on the TV?
Okaaaay… What channels are you watching, anyway? I take it that you aren’t much of a fan of the whole sexual revolution thing.
Move on from what, and to where? What point are you trying to make here?
Parsing your post is quite the exercise. It now seems that you are saying that sexual frustration among televison presenters is a good thing in your eyes.
How is my age even remotely relevant?
StarStuff! Because f**k you, that's why says
That’s different. Those would be pie [made] of apple and cake [made] of ice cream.
Don’t worry. One day you might learn the nuances of the english language. But you’ll have to work really really hard, ok?

Well, showing my ‘spirituality’ … that was fun.
Mr Greenwood, I am asking your age because you seem like an elderly person to me. Like someone who is in the 70s. But that’s OK if you want to keep it a secret.
But I am really sorry that I can’t give you a proper reply when I in my ‘spiritual mode’. You seem to be asking reasonable questions, and I seem to be engaged with primitive circus clowns. Too many of them. So excuse me.
'Tis Himself, OM says
It translates as “where are the trolls of yesteryear?” There is a famous French poem by 15th Century thief and poet François Villon called Ballade des dames du temps jadis (Ballad of the Ladies of Times Past) which has the refrain: Mais où sont les neiges d’antan? This was translated by 19th Century British Pre-Raphaelite painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti as “Where are the snows of yesteryear?”
Incidentally, as changeable moniker points out, there’s a missing acute accent. Ou should be Où. I was just too lazy to go to the character map to copy ù.
A. R says
kohldamunga: While I find your attempts at insult and humor mildly amusing, you’ve gotten a bit repetitive. Try some new material.

A perfect description of Punch
I guess that makes you the beadle.
kohldamunga says
Yes, I am quite aware of that. And there is a very good reason why I have become ‘repetitive’. It’s because dialogues like this are like where both sides kind of ‘synergize’ each other. I can’t do much unless the circus clowns keep their acts going constantly. Just in case you didn’t notice, J Asshole, who was the main catalyst, has kind of halved this synergistic exchange of energies lately.

No reason to bother. It will be back as soon as it needs another jism spasm, and given it’s a 17-year-old boy, that will be often enough to make it pointless counting.

You were playing your game of bullshit long before I joined the chorus demanding that you back up your words. But being the dishonest sack of shit that you are, you would rather blame you actions on an other person.

After viewing a collection of “Jersey Shore” quotes presented in Oscar Wilde style by the current Broadway cast of The Importance of Being Ernest, I’d have to say that Kohl’s grammar structure would fit right in with that of The Situation and Sammi, etc. Even the “J Ass” invention seems more reminiscent of “J Wow” than “J Lo”.
He’s a ‘spiritual’ flasher!
kohldamunga says
You are back! Great. So, you think you are such a privileged case of ‘assholeism’, that you can jump into any discussion, and start demanding whatever you like? And, you seem to be confusing your ‘badmouthing’ with demanding things. As I said before, you really don’t have to struggle that hard to prove you are still an asshole. Tone done a bit, in fact tone down a lot, and you will still remain an asshole.

Our troll flounced maybe a dozen times on the other blog before the banhammer came down. Seemed to think we would miss it. So NOT. Why would we?

Since everybody is presuming it has the integrity of a lying and composing turd, you have its number.

The troll has flounced, unflounced, reflounced, and deflounced so many times his score is in negative numbers.

PZ, if you read this, please don’t ban this troll. He wants it so much he’s hoggling about it.
Dr. Audley Z. Darkheart OM, liar and scoundrel says

Pro-tip, kohlie: It’s uncouth to fail to stick that many flounces.
Sally Strange, OM says
Speaking of hoggling, please go to urban dictionary and upvote the correct definition. Or submit a new one. Because the world needs to know about hoggling.
Constant Mews says
Because it’s trying very hard to get banned. As I said, the interesting (and rapid) descent into attempted insult and the peculiar interest in anal sex shows an intention to be banned.
This perhaps explains the five bans on Richard Dawkins forum, and the (so far) one ban on Pharyngula.
hotshoe says
Probably a flasher in real life, too.
It’s got the smell of one who is sick almost to death of his own perviness but can’t stop himself.
Not a groper, oh no, that might be dangerous to it – just a sad little pervie flasher, goosepimpled and greasy.
kohldamunga says
I will go for number 2. Masturbating is fine. I’ll do it. Who is the online whore?
Constant Mews says
It is a recurring pattern with selachee. He constantly claims to leave, then returns. Interestingly enough, when it was pointed out to him that this meant he was lying, he had no reply.
But his apparent desire for continual anal sex amuses…mildly. It’s not very creative, but it’s something.

Ah shoot. Wrong thread.
Constant Mews says
Actually, I’ve never posted on RDFRS. And I have no aliases. This is my real name. Unlike you, I am honest.
Constant Mews says
This is a falsehood, so far as I can see. For two reasons: first, no one here particularly cares to see what a typical spiritual person looks like. Second, you’re not a spiritual person.
Why?
Constant Mews says
Are you genuinely so naive that you think mundane insults to PZ are what gets you banned? Amusing.
pelamun says
Yeah when I thought they were genuinely a wooist troll, I found it interesting. But now that they were just some kind of Poe troll, I don’t know. Or maybe they weren’t, but it’s gotten quite boring now.
Hope I can close the tab and put this thread back on email notification…
Rev. BigDumbChimp says
Need better trolls.
kohldamunga says
Great. I’ll be honest with you, too. I have become really really sick and tried of showing the ‘spiritual’ side of mine here on this thread. It’s not easy you know. But I think it was necessary to show that you people were in fact talking to a real live spiritual person. Plus, the other point is, the tactics that are usually employed here by the ‘regulars’ do not always work. Sometimes they back fire! See, turning yourself into a bigger asshole than J Asshole, and using foul language, which is the trademark of the owner of this blog, doesn’t really take much of an effort. Does it?
Happy trolling! All of you
Rev. BigDumbChimp says
yawn
pelamun says
So you were or you weren’t? Make up your mind already, or learn to express yourself more clearly…
chigau (無) says
Is “Happy trolling!” yet another flounce?
Constant Mews says
Given that most of your previous responses have been dishonest, I doubt this.
How can you claim to show a spiritual side when you have been unable to define “spiritual?”
So far, your responses are consistent with a computer program. If you are a live person, you have not yet demonstrated that fact.
What tactics? The regulars here were having some mild fun with you until you got boring. They don’t really care what you think.
How so? Do you have examples?
Non-sequitur; hence irrelevant.

Of course. He will be back. Selachee is remarkably predictable.

Who will he target next?
Constant Mews says
Generally, whoever appears to display the most “anger” with him and uses the most profanity. He appears to be a bit of a prude: he equates “bad language” with lack of intellectual rigor, and considers it an accomplishment when he thinks he has provoked a poster into using it.
He is not used to an intellectually rigorous environment, apparently.
pelamun says
I had the impression that the emphasis of “I’m not a theist” of the OP triggered him for this thread…

It’s a bit sad that his display of

Dude, you should have let it go waaaaaaayyyyyy back then.
When the only argument you have left is “yo mama so fat”…
That’s pretty much proof that even you know you have badly failed, and that everything else that will follow will also be made entirely out of fail.
Add the weird insistant demands to be banned as if it would give you some kind of martyr status, and you seriously started to sound like a bad-tempered, particularly dim-witted 12-year-old.
Especially when you can’t even define the term “spiritual”.
I would say they worked out very well here. The beginning of the thread had great entertainment value. Then it became boring.
Oooooh, so that’s what “spriritual” means.
Somehow, I’m underwhelmed.

Calilasseia says
Heh, I just found out about this courtesy of a trip to FSTDT. Erecting a wholly specious charge of bestiality, which the individual in question can only get away with because the target has been dead for some time, as a means of trying to discredit a valid scientific theory enjoying massive evidential support, really shows how desperate creationists are.
I no longer find it surprising to see such duplicity from creationists. This is because the father of modern American corporate creationism (and let’s face, it creationism is a corporate business in the USA), the arch-charlatan and pathological liar for doctrine known as Henry Morris, provided us, in a moment of wholly atypical candour, with the reason underpinning all creationist duplicity. In one of his screeds, he penned the following words:
With those words, Morris revealed that the basic principle underpinning modern American corporate creationism consist of:
If reality and doctrine differ, reality is wrong and doctrine is right.
This is the fundamental principle underpinning creationism. To hell with what real world evidence says, my pet mythology is right, and when reality disagrees, reality is wrong.
As a direct corollary thereof, creationists have to lie in order to propagandise for their doctrine, because reality sticks the middle finger to their doctrine and its assertions on a cosmic scale. In order to keep promoting creationism, its ideological stormtroopers have to lie, and indeed, Morris went a step further in establishing this, by providing creationists with the first ever “How To” manual for quote mining, and through this disreputable little text, encouraging quote mining as a major tactic for trying to establish hegemony for creationist doctrine. When quote mining, or any of the other “approved” means of disseminating lies fails, creationists have to resort to outright fabrications, the more lurid, lowbrow and lumpen, the better.
The trouble being, of course, that the professional liars for doctrine who run the corporate businesses, prefer it if the ideological cannon fodder are restrained from their own forays into fabrication. Just as church organisations in the past sought to maintain control over doctrine, and enforce an orthodoxy, so too do the corporate creationist businesses and their CEOs/”Prophets”. Because if the cannon fodder are allowed to engage in fabrication themselves in an unrestrained manner, the light bulb might suddenly light up over their heads, to the effect that they’ve been fed made up shit by the corporate heads of creationism, and that indeed, as even an elementary examination of Morris’ writings reveals to anyone who paid attention in a science class, the whole of creationist doctrine is nothing more than a gigantic pile of made up shit.
Our latest arrival here demonstrates in spades precisely why the enforcers of corporate creationist orthodoxy don’t like the cannon fodder to engage in their own fabrications. Because all too often, said fabrications merely add to the level of disrepute that already hangs around creationism in noxiously miasmatic fashion.
As for this latest cheap sexual smear, I’m minded to note that the individuals usually caught engaging in deviant sex, are religious fundamentalists and their political arse-lickers in the Rethuglicon party. For example, the Rev. Gary Aldridge, who was found dead in his bath in kinky sex gear after an autoerotic asphyxiation episode, or Dallas megachurch minister Joe Barron, caught in an FBI Internet sting after soliciting under-age girls for sex, or Ted Haggard, who, whilst raving in public against homosexuality, hired a male prostitute, whom he also paid for illegal drugs. Oh, and we can now add Warren Jeffs to the list, who is now serving 35 years for porking pre-pubescent pussy on a grand scale. Not to mention John Paulk, who, whilst also engaging in public homophobic rants, was photographed flirting with the clientele of a gay bar, Douglas Goodman, imprisoned for three years for sexually assaulting members of his congregation, Lonnie Latham, who was arrested after indecently importuning an undercover police officer, or, most hilarious of all, George Alan Rekers, another publicly fulminating homophobe, who recruited a “travelling companion” from a website entitled “rentboy.com”, which supplies male prostitutes online.
Indeed, I am minded to suggest that the sort of smear we’ve seen from our latest arrival here amongst the creo-trolls, is nothing more than a smokescreen erected to detract from the fact that [1] his doctrine is peddled by professional liars and charlatans, some of whom have been imprisoned for criminal activity connected with their creationist propagandising (Kent Hovind, anyone?), and [2] several of the people who subscribe to his doctrine, along with other tenets of religious fundamentalism, are proven sex criminals, not merely asserted to be so. And, given the intellectual indolence that frequently accompanies creationist trolling on rationalist forums and blogs, I’m tempted to ask if our latest arrival alighted upon the idea of smearing Darwin with a fake charge of bestiality, after a spot of roadkill humping with one or more of his doubtless polydactylous companions.

I just wanted to ask kohldamunga…did you have fun masturbating to your little fantasy of Darwin fucking gorillas?
You are on the wrong page-I’m sure a “gorilla porn fanfic” page exists out there somewhere, rule 34 applies. You are on the internet after all.
