Nature Cannot Have a Natural Origin [modified]

Um. You seem so certain of what I know and don't know. But thanks, you have finally convinced me. Goodbye, you arrogant asshole.
Since you were too cowardly to post this publicly, I thought I would do it for you: CaptainSeeSharp has posted a reply to your message at "The Back Room": You need to go to the Soapbox 2.0. Get the hell out of here! Obloga Obama Blog[^] Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age to produce the sort of character and sort of beliefs that authorities consider desirable. Any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Thanks for the good wishes, but I don't plan to stop by there, or the lounge either.

Okay, what is abusive to your mind? When Ilion's post consists in large part or completely of insults, is that abusive?

Count me in on moving on from backroom. I'll still frequent CP but in another manner. If you need hosting help let me know, I have an under utilized host account or two.

Regarding the thread above [^] - I can't reply to - no reply button. So yes, set that up, I await your invite. You have Zep's e-mail address and Zep has mine, and assuming Zep doesn't mind, ask him to forward it onto me.
Apparently you can't sticky a post and have people reply to it in Chris's world. I'll forward your note to Zep.

Hey, me too... :laugh:
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

how I choose to do Christ's work
Is that what you imagine that you are doing? I would have thought that Christ's work would have been, well, more Christ like.

Take off those Victorian blinders! Jesus was not the sissy-man the Victorians liked to portray him as ... and as Christ, well, that man is someone you'd hate even more than you hate me.

Actually, I don't hate you. I think you are misguided and I have wasted enough time trying to get you to see that. I guess that I will just shake the dust off my shoes and leave you be.

To the entirely limited degree that one can apologize for another, I apologize for the terrible run-togetherness of the following essay. If you are not interested in thinking about these things, you will, of course, not care even were it better formatted; if you are interested in thinking about these things, you may be able to convince yourself to put in the effort to work around the bad formatting: [edit: at some point, the essay was reformatted and is now readable] Nature Cannot Have a Natural Origin[^] Here is Mr Wright's essay from which the above grows (it's not all run together): Before there was Time, there was no Time[^]

"Not just the matter and energy in the universe came into being then, but, rather, nature itself came into being, which includes causation, the category of cause and effect." That's incorrect. But I do love watching armchair philsophers try and grapple with cosmology. Especially when they pay lip service to time being non-absolute but then insist on discussing causality within the framework of absolute time.

Asserts the "armchair philosopher" who clearly misrepresents the other "armchair philosopher" and appears to be endorsing the vacuuous concept of “othertime.”
