I don't know that many plants die if they're deprived of sunlight for a day.
Yeah, but it doesn't prove anything. I can say that I crap ice-cream, and if it is the truth, it's a perfectly sensible statement to make. But...
It wasn't a very good answer though, was it? I mean, if you really think about it.
See, far as I've read, time as we understand it is a function of consciousness, our way of perceiving a continuum... it's the same argument that,...

Well that's good then because it wouldn't make sense if you did.
It may be true. It has, however, remained unproven and unevidenced, so while you can believe what you want, you can't really criticise anyone...

I kinda assumed I just had. It's very important to you to slate religion, isn't it? You don't seem to be able to rise above the "OMG RELIGION...
Yeah, I'll level with you though; I doubt the Crusades really play on many Christians' minds these days. Not because they're acquiescent to that...
No, not "yes or no". I'm trying to explain the mentality, I'm not saying that I agree with this, so why should I be pushed to give a "yes/no"...
Could be. My thinking was, to put it bluntly, that the novelty of gays being able to fuck whoever whenever may have culturally worn off; we've...
