In reply to your closing statement.
You at least open with something valid (probably by accident), the OP was very poorly written, but let's skip right on past that.
...the idea is that some non-believers tend to exaggerate qualities of themselves and their lives in such a way as to exhibit a false version of themselves and of reality.
My goodness, such weighty matters. You have no idea what other people who post here are really like so you also have no idea if they are presenting a false version. All you have is your unsupported opinion which, of course, is without any real value. The second half of the statement is equally foolish. Not agreeing with RobinRohan, in spite of what you clearly think, is not believing in a flase version of reality. Is your concept of realty so very good, so very important, so very RIGHT that any departure from it constitutes a "false version"? Don't bother answering. It's a rhetorical question. The answer is that it doesn't.
In my view, it is better to have an accurate view of reality and of oneself than a false view.
Well, if it is RobinRohan's exalted view, it must be true (That was sarcasm. I felt I should point it out to you, RR, as you seem to have so much trouble with simple comprehension). Again, you make the same error, that of thinking that your view has any validity at all. It might, if you were capable of defending it, but we have seen from your thread on logic that you can't, as you don't understand how argument works.
The question is whether the comments I admittedly rather rudely quoted exhibit such falseness. I think they do.
Nice to see you admit that you were rude. Save the apologies you are clearly obligated to make. I don't care to see them. As to what you THINK, well, again, it is valueless. Unless you can somehow defend it is some way other then inane repitition and childishly stupid claims of gastric distress.
I found it interesting, though, that PD came up with another example of moral boasting from MikeHager (he wants me to mention his name). PD doesn't think it's boasting, however.
Glad to see you finally using my name when you make unfounded assaults on me. Boy, tell you something three times and it sinks right in there, doesn't it?
Oh, and since PD disagrees with you, he is wrong? Of course he is.
I have nothing to say about the rest of your senseless diatribe. On the matter of the veterans, I will let others take you to task as you deserve for calling them brainwashed and using the tired old neocon practice of dismissing someone by labelling them "PC".
I also have a brief closing. Twice now, RR, you have started threads aimed directly at me (one totally and one in at least major part) using completely invalid and unsupported arguments. I do not know why you would bother. I do know that everything you have said about me recently is utter unfounded, unsuported bullshit. It is even worse given the fact that you have no real knowledge about me at all. The truth or falseness of anything I have said aside, you are comfortable calling me a braggert and a liar when you have no way of knowing one way or another. You repeat the same error time and time again: The fact that you think something is irrelevant unless you can support it. So, either put up with some valid argument or I would like to cordially invite you to shut the hell up.

Re: In reply to your closing statement.
Faith do you have anything to contribute other then a meaningless comment? History would indicate otherwise, but hope springs eternal.

Re: In reply to your closing statement.
RR, you still are stuck in the same stupid and pedantic mode. You keep spouting unsupported opinions about me. You have still offerred no support for them. You still try to use meaningless arguments from personal credulity or incredulity.
I note that you are still not seemingly understanding the word "exemplary" even though I posted the definition once. Should I do so again? Repitition seems to be the only mode of argument you understand, so maybe that is what is required for you to understand something.
But the thread was not about you...
Liar. You sir, are a flat-out bald faced liar. It is painfully obvious that this thread was largely directed at me, as was another you started.
You know how I know you're a liar? I have know liars in life and it doesn't matter that I don't really know you, it is clear from this that you are. It doesn't matter that I have no proof beyond my opinion, I can still stand up and make the claim... If I want to be like RobinRohan.
So, in closing, you goddamned liar, I would again invite you to actually provide support for your positions or shut the hell up.

Re: In reply to your closing statement.
Mine, I think, is the stronger argument.
Think it all you want. It doesn't make it so.
You see, RR, the oh, so subtle point you missed is that I used the exact same form of argument that you do. It was as invalid when I used it as when you did. Argument from personal credulity or incredulity in both cases.
A little practical example there. Sorry it was too much for you. I don't think you're a liar. I think your position is idiotic. Of course, it really doesn't matter what I think, does it?
How about this... You admit that your position is flawed, because you have failed to support it.

Re: In reply to your closing statement.
Why? I am getting you to admit your position is flawed and in return you want me to affirm that it was actually correct? I don't think so.
Your position is logically flawed and therefore invalid and of no meaning. Why is that so hard for you to admit?
