Re: Delusions of Grandeur
Besides which, I have never once claimed that my human wisdom is what shows that there is no God. Rather it is a complete lack of knowledge for or against.
What we see is what we know is there. If someone is suggesting something other than what we see, they need to provide some sort of evidence that it is there. Otherwise we just fall back on what we can see.
So let's see... lookin' around at what I see... lookin' around... no God.
How about that.
No dancing racoons either.

Re: Delusions of Grandeur
Uh oh...
Clearly Galactus did come to eat the Earth back in the sixties, but was repelled by the Fantastic Four. I shouldn't have scoffed at that guy who said it really happened.
After all, here's a published work saying it did!

Re: Faith in Galactus
quote:
And speaking to you now as an American, I say that if Galactus has changed your life, you have a case for trumpeting his book! Viva la Free speech!
You're mixing up "the right to" with "a case for".
As it happens, Galactus don't matter worth a damn for me. But Jack Kirby does. And yeah, I trumpet the merits of Jack Kirby every chance I get.
When I do, I'm sure to talk about technique... about innovation... about work output... about the reasons I can proclaim Jack Kirby to be wonderful.
What I do not say is, "trust me guy, I've read his stuff. He's great. No, trust me here, you either have to get it or you don't. But whether you get it or not, he's still great. What do you mean how do I know he's great? Yeesh, when you understand how great he is, you'll see why he's great, okay?"
It's called "building a case for an idea, and arguing it on its merits."

Re: New Topic
You have to start it in the "proposed new topics" forum. Then a moderator moves it to the appropriate forum.
