Hmm. I wonder why you use the word "obtuse", is such something Kenny brings to mind?Nessa wrote:So you weren't just being obtuseKurieuo wrote:Tell me Nessa, can you see this Kenny?Nessa wrote:KennyKurieuo wrote:Nessa, who are you talking to in your posts?
No, but Im intrigued to see where you're going with this
Well, as far as I can tell, Kenny has the ability to communicate with the intelligence of a human being. He has shown to some different traits such as humour and being obtuse when responding to specific complex questions and discussions. Now this by itself doesn't prove that anything he has said about himself is true but it does prove, at least to me, he exists.Kurieuo wrote:Hmm.

Nonetheless, how do you know this Kenny exists if you haven't seen him, or is Kenny a she?
(two questions in one there, sorry!)
So Kenny is a "he", did you actually verify this? If not, while "he" may communicate with the intelligence of a human being *cough* *cough* (sorry a bit sick atm), how do you know that "he" doesn't really have a v-jay-jay?Nessa wrote:Well, as far as I can tell, Kenny has the ability to communicate with the intelligence of a human being.

When I was shopping the other day I saw a women's mag with big letters on the front that a woman had two...so I don't know if kenny is a he or she or how many of what he's gotKurieuo wrote:So Kenny is a "he", did you actually verify this?

See, it's always best not to believe until you have evidence. We just don't know. It's stupid to say. In fact, you really don't know whether someone called "Kenny" does in fact exist. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just not credible, not using their brain, being gullible.Nessa wrote:When I was shopping the other day I saw a women's mag with big letters on the front that a woman had two...so I don't know if kenny is a he or she or how many of what he's gotKurieuo wrote:So Kenny is a "he", did you actually verify this?

If I were a different person than I claim I am, would it make a difference? I ask questions, I answer questions, I communicate with Nessa; does she have a vested interest in me being a middle aged man? Do you think she would respond to me differently if I were say a woman? A child? A Christian pretending to be something else?Kurieuo wrote:See, it's always best not to believe until you have evidence. We just don't know. It's stupid to say.

It could be RickD pretending under another profile (sorry Rick), it could be me, it could be Audie wanting to be the better sex , it could be Storyteller like telling a story... we just don't know.
So then, then the most logical position is to be A-kenniest. If you disagree, then please show me the proof. It's just stupid otherwise to believe and be Kenniest. Oh, and if someone takes up the challenge to say Atheism is different because extraordinary proof requires extraordinary evidence, then lets ask the question where the REAL extraordinary lies?
For some reason I thought you were younger than that. Maybe alot younger?Kenny wrote:If I were a different person than I claim I am, would it make a difference?

If the claim of who Kenny is were false, nobody would care. If the claim of Christianity were false....
As they say; extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

That's an extraordinary claim. Show us the likewise evidence.Kenny wrote: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Something like such, is what one must believe, to remain a logically consistent Atheist.
Do you believe in astrology? How about an alien base on the back side of the moon. The Illuminatti? How about Bigfoot? Evidence, you have some one way or the other?abelcainsbrother wrote:Atheism is an opinion a person chooses to accept with absolutely no evidence behind it.Even false religions have more evidence behind them than atheism.Atheists have nothing to bring to the table to discuss when it comes to evidence.They have nothing to hedge their bets with.
