Go on and repeat yourself again and call me a moron and a religious sheep or something, and then have a good cry on how it's all bogus like you know what you're talking about. :boohoo:

Why don't you actualy read what I posted?

I asked torm a simple question he still hasn't awnsered. It's a simple question designed to make you think. I don't see how that's calling someone an idiot or any of the shit you post. Sure I might insult some people but it's because they insulted me to begin with faggot. Look at my responses to chunk. Did I call him stupid? No I had a discussion with him and explained my point of view. At least he actualy progressed instead of what torm comes up with. Blame me if it makes you feel better but I'm not the one here that's acting like a fucking child. I've tried to have a discussion here you guys are the ones that either can't grasp what I'm talking about or just refuse to because you can't awnser. and by you guys I'm talking about those who I'm talking to in this thread.

Sure. I feel religion is untrue the same way I feel santa clause is untrue. I just don't understand how a person can feel one way about an imaginary being and another way about another one. Don't you find that puzzling?

crap - forgot about this thread completely. (btw han the comment I made wasn't directed at you, it was just my 2 random cents)

What I meant was that the very fitting of people into these three categories constrains our notions of spirituality.

Perhaps foucault would say the same thing of our construction of sexuality. Perhaps not - never read him, just heard a lecture or two.

Why should one be forced to take a 'stand' on an existence claim that is not open to traditional methods of empirical investigation?

santa claus is untrue? oh man....

Post by **Dek** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 4:53 pm

santa was propelled to where he is by Coca Cola..

All this isn't to say that Coca-Cola didn't have anything to do with cementing that image of Santa Claus in the public consciousness. The Santa image may have been standardized before Coca-Cola adopted it for their advertisements, but Coca-Cola had a great deal to do with establishing Santa Claus as a ubiquitous Christmas figure in America at a time when the holiday was still making the transition from a religious observance to a largely secular and highly commercial celebration. In an era before color television (or commercial television of any kind), color films, and the widespread use of color in newspapers, it was Coca-Cola's magazine advertisements, billboards, and point-of-sale store displays that exposed nearly everyone in America to the modern Santa Claus image. Coca-Cola certainly helped make Santa Claus one of the most popular men in America, but they didn't invent him.

Only in America Dek, and we all know that place doesn't really matter.

You realise Santa is barely mentioned in the first paragraph and then that's it, right?

I never said that I did. If you read my posts I simply said that neither side had irrefutable evidence; not that my beliefs are the only right way. In fact, I specifically said that there is a possibility my belief could be wrong.

I don't care what this thread's about, I love seeing Kracus get his inter-ass handed to him.
