As a known (maybe not here yet) person who can play the Devils advocate on just about any topic, I'm surprised you keep repeating this. I think getting people to look in the mirror at their hypocrisy and flawed logical/critical thinking has noting to do with "trying" for knee jerk reactions .regardless if they're white, black, secular, religious, male, female, adult or child. If there is a knee jerk reaction, that is more of the natural reaction of someone coming to terms with reality than you (others) falsely thinking I'm goading you (others) on for it.
I could of just as easily throw out verse about how the Bible condones racism and/or sexism and have in the past (on Topix), just as well as said I don't believe it does. As seen in a few other topics on this section of the forum, there is a overwhelming liberal slant on everyone's comments. So if you (others) wrongly think I'm a "right wing, Christian entitled white male" it's only because it's a product of the environment of these forums. If this was a right leaning forum, I'd probably be called a liberal fanatic. I know, just imagine that one....right?
People who stop questioning the world are intellectually dead. Those people are unable to cope outside their 'Plato's cave'. They would rather keep watching the shadows on the walls, fearful of what they might see if they were able to look away. Those types of people have threads removed, have uncontrolled emotional outbursts towards different views, as seen already here on this forum. It's quite sad to think these types of people fancy themselves as "intellectuals".
I suppose if everyone wants to bury their head in the sand, circle jerk each other off whilst patting each other on the back in their delusions, I could leave (don't worry, I'm not). But I suppose this forum section would get pretty boring just being a reverberation of the status quo. Imagine me if you will, as the harbinger of the truth of reality. The slave of old, who whispered in the ears of triumphant roman generals that he was "only human", to keep him grounded in reality and humbled.
It's a public service, and someone has to do it. And I do it quite well.
Love, WLU
You have been known and admitted yourself that you have tried to get me to become an emotionally enraged, I think you do this to lead the discussion away from when its been noted that you were wrong, which is more than you think. A truth you have spoken is yes you do this quite well but sometimes your perception of reality tends to be flavored with just a taste of narcissism, its ok I find it compelling enough
