Yeah disingenuous is the kinder word to describe my perception of Dr Bob.

And to Unseen’s credit he unlike Dr. Bob is not an ideologue. Ideologues gear their polemics and talking points to preservation of their ideology. Facts be damned. Glaring weaknesses in their particular ideology are unseen or what is worse, circumvented. Thus, integrity is…[Read more]

rhonjon, what i wrote about the old testament was a famous Dawkins quote. Not my words. I have it memorized though. I memorize shit. Talk shit and even say it backwards. gnitirw sdrawkcab si ysae neesnU.

Original sin is such a degenerate concept. So Reg our resident fronkey farmer has pointed out a wonderful absurdity as you may have noticed.…[Read more]

DrBob, no gish galloping here. Had not even broken into a trot. You conveniently avoided any kind of substantive response to any of it.

You are an apologist to a degree that sickens me. Sophistry. A surfiet of sophistry slinking and slithering…

Defending the Catholic’s violation of human rights against indigenous peoples and relabeling it to…[Read more]

I talk backwards. Never tried writing but seems easy enough.

Uncle Johnjon,

The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously…[Read more]

Enco, insapience?

Was thinking holy cock balls. Enco is gonna add to my already extensive vocabulary. No such word though. However ya did point out Vienna Teng and for that i am grateful.

Oh hey news has covered how much human trafficking is in California-some of it in the open. Maybe some of the traffickers are libertarians. If only the…[Read more]

Johan has a good excuse. He is mentally ill. Doctor Bob a scientist/apologist?

DrBob writes: God and Catholicism often embrace people where they’re at, and at times take cultural elements and make them holy. After all, that’s what Jesus did with the bread and wine of the Jewish seder celebration, right?

Which god? How do you rationally dec…[Read more]

Dr Bob.

Rumors of your demise were on the rise. Now he decries the lies. But the biggest lie you let fly. Tell us why.

Enco, I am waiting for something substantive. Anything at all…

You reference the common good. And yet you cite the Nazis as being advocates. So mythology of the pure Aryan to the exclusion of all others? Not only exclusion but extinction of the reviled. That for you represents the common good? That is a very selective good and even then a…[Read more]

The politicization of covid is a major fuck-up.

When the efficacy of various measures is uncertain the sensible course is to explain guidance and inform public when conclusions have been contradicted. Once having taken sides it degenerates into scurrilous accusations and a medical emergency is more about besmirching the other’s political party…[Read more]

Pope gets an A plus, gold star, banana split at Friendly’s.

Our sentiments align. We as a species just don’t learn. Same patterns endlessly except that some of the old crap is accentuated and made worse by modern dynamics. I have been so struck by Ukraine and how it is same old BS blame game. It is never how do we as a civilization move past this…[Read more]

Ok Enco. You have nothing substantive. The free market is a distant chimera of abstract deliciousness. In its actual applicaton it is not something we can tolerate. And you are equivalent in your apotheosis of your ideology to a theist. So no sense challenging your views.

Lets not limit ourselves to the free market of traditional american…[Read more]

Sam is good. Same is fine. He and i? Our views align. Usually.

That Dore is manic! This is a perfect illustration of how misleading it is to take a line or two and go off. Twas Out of context. But he straw dogged the bejesus out of Sam.

Yeah i think Dore is essentially correct.

Wake up and smell the covid.

Oh hey Enco, i was looking into shrunken heads, old and rotted boots and assorted civil war memorabilia. But the market wasn’t free except for coffee. Don’t ya see?

Breaking a bone without knowledge is a little like you pontificating about libertarian concepts. I had a client back in da day who had osteogenesis…[Read more]

For whome the Belle rose?

Nobody knows.

Whatever is there can cause despair. Lean into the unseen. Tell me what you glean?
