		<description><![CDATA[What&#039;s with nonsense about &quot;high priority truths&quot;? 

This is the same pathetic whining you get from all manner of nutters who are desperate to believe that &#039;The Universe&#039; cares for them. These &quot;why are we here&quot; questions are similarly loaded; that some people are so afraid to live in a world that wasn&#039;t created just to stroke their ego is quite astonishing. 

It&#039;s interesting that the theist wants to know &quot;why&quot; and scientists are more interested in &quot;how&quot;. Imagine the difference in Lou&#039;s story, for example, if medical doctors were less interested in understanding how our bodies worked preferring to pontificate over why we were here.

&quot;high priority truths&quot; - what a load of bollocks.]]></description>

&quot;I am a prophet.&quot;

No, you are a pathological liar.

&quot;Did I not tell you Dpk and Lou would not answer your question. I have asked 3 and they did everything to digress.&quot;

Show me, prior to yuour comment, that I &quot;did everything to digress.&quot;

&quot;Dpk, Lou an Stupid do sound like one another.&quot;

Crum is still using the &quot;I know you are but what am I&quot; defense to something that happened days ago.

&quot;I would not doubt they are the same.&quot;

Who cares what you doubt? You doubting something is similar to an astrologer doubting that the universe is expanding. It&#039;s both incorrect and entirely irrelevant.

&quot;I don’t really care if the 3 in 1 could just answer a question.&quot;

Crum, when are you getting a new schtick? When are you ever going to abandon the simple, irrelevant tangent tactic to divert attention from the fact that you can&#039;t provide any evidence for your imaginary god?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[92.Suh said …

&quot;...science is not a vehicle to discovering high priority truths? You both do agree with this?&quot;

At his time, science does not not answer &quot;how?&quot; So what? Neither does any other discipline.

My personal opinion is that the only answer to &quot;why?&quot; is that there is no reason for the universe. I have no problem with that. I don&#039;t have to invent imaginary gods, b.s. myths, legends, and stories to comfort me because of that.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[81.Suh said …

&quot;So can we trust science on the most important questions?&quot;

&quot;Why am I here?&quot;

Science doesn&#039;t answer &quot;why?&quot; to philosophical questions.

&quot;What happens after I die?&quot;

There is no evidence that anything happens to you after you die. Therefore, the scientific answer is &quot;nothing.&quot; By definition, you are dead after you die.

&quot;How did it all begin?&quot;

You&#039;re question is (intentionally?) too vague. No matter what answer science provides, you will simply &quot;move the goalposts&quot; farther back.

&quot;How will it all end?&quot;

Ditto. But why does it matter? You will be dead long before &quot;it all end[s].&quot;

How is ANY of this relevant to the fact that you have no evidence for an imaginary god?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m a prophet. I predict Curm will not answer my very simple questions.
On what do I base my profound prediction? Did a magical horse descend from heaven with a note from god saying Curm will not answer? Did an angel give me golden plates with the prophesy inscribed that were only visible through magical stones? Did a burning bush tell me?
No, I predict it based on the fact that I have asked Curm this at least 6 times before and he has NEVER, not even once, ventured an answer. Why? Seems like a simple enough task. You believe in this god and you believe he possess certain characteristics. But he will never say what they are. Don&#039;t you wonder why this is? Why will he never answer a simple, direct question?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;I am a prophet. Did I not tell you Dpk and Lou would not answer your question.&quot;

Not much of a prophet...I answered Suh&#039;s question in 89 directly, and then told Suh again in 93. How fuckin&#039; dense are you??
There has not been a single question you have asked that has not been addressed other than &quot;tell me exactly step by step how the first living organism developed&quot; Now you, Curm in particular, have never answered ANY of my direct questions... should we start again? Let&#039;s start all over with this one:
Define the characteristics of your god. Is he both omniscient and omnipotent? Does he listen to and answer prayers? Does everything happen according to his plan.
Balls in your court Curm. Gonna run away again?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Curmudgeon asks questions as a way to divert attention from his own failings. He also does this to stop the conversation going back to the silly, silly, notion of a god that intercedes in today&#039;s world. He has no proof, just a desperate need to feel special.

He promised back in November 2011, to produce evidence for the existence of his imaginary god. He hasn&#039;t. Anything he does now is just an attempt to avoid facing up to his own dishonesty.]]></description>
