    First of all, that 'zombie' is a religious figure of extreme importance to many millions of people. As I have gotten infractions many times for insulting a certain prophet, my guess is saying things like that are against the rules. You may want to show some respect.
    So basically, you demand respect when someone insults your personal religious figure, but you're not willing to extend the same kind of respect to other religious folks. That's cool. I'm not a Christian, but I don't know, I'm not sure he would have wanted people to go around and insult other people. Might just be me.

    The process is affected by the input which then gives an output that then influences the original input by means of feedback.

    Basically what people have been trying to get you to understand is that change happens all the time and our very presence has an effect on it.

    Incidently this does not have to mean that man is doomed at all, so you can dispence with the theories that we are doompornographers. However we are part of the eco-system that is both caused by and a cause of the climate back on itself.


    Naturally this means because we have an outsize effect on our environment we therefore logically affect the climate.
    I was not arguing against the principle of feedback. I was saying that claiming that if we don't actively try to engineer our environment all life will be wiped out except bacteria in vents is complete BS. Sure, we have an impact, but all the doom and gloom is completely uncalled for. People are making too much of too little. Change will come, but it won't be nearly as drastic as some suppose, and it will happen over a long period of time, giving people plenty of time to adapt.

    No, I am simply saying that if I must respect other people's religious figures (even if I don't want to), then so must he. I have no respect at all for the supposed prophet, but the rules here on the Org rigidly stop me from saying what I think about him (I have gotten infractions even for quoting muslim holy texts and making quite obvious interpretations), even when I am arguing about the history of the religion, and not making value judgments. People on the Org rip apart Christian religious figures all the time with impunity though. I know the mods will do nothing about him, so I am asking him to play by the same rules that those who dislike Islam are forced to.
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    I'll just move to Des Monies, marry a fat girl, and start farming corn
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
