Rick: I am god. Are you god, or merely mortal...
I never knew you had such a fine-tuned sense of humor, Rick. This Philosopher/Atheist/Fat-Book note of yours is so delightfully subtle, it causes a respect for you, previously absent, to rise in my thinking.
Poor Steve and E - masters of phrase and flow of words and ideas - didn't get it, did they? Steve thought you were barking up a tree; and E didn't feel you had your definitions in line. They failed to grasp that you were toying with them, deftly and delicately, didn't they?
The thread, recently, has been extremely rich, you will admit. Minds such as yours, Bob's, and Terrie's (I love Steve's use of "ie") are making mince mush out of godless, soulless, mortal, aphilosophical prattlers such as E, Steve, Del, and Sam. The current contributions of this band of heathens stand alone, as attempts to use eloquence in text and logic to cover-up the essential fact that they really know they are not philosophers, such as you. (And, I am sure they could never be!)
So, I retract all my past confrontations with you, Rick. I am in shame for not having detected your brilliant, ever-so-cleverly-concealed, wit. geo |
