I'm amazed our idiot primate species is still into the whole invisible guy in outer space thing at all. People are obviously eager to sign up for whatever stupid shit is popular in their communities.

I'm no hirari fanboy, but I'm even less a human fanboy. Our species has demonstrated every kind of idiocy...

What species are you comparing us to?

[johnea]

One that's not chainsawing the planet so the people who have more than all others combined can have even more...

I think this a mind trick that people play on themselves. Tell yourself that all humans (or group of humans that one is a part of) are bad. Then, conclude that you are not part of the group (and therefore good) since you've made this observation.

Kind of like the mind trick of completely changing the subject?

BTW, I never said I was good...

[osigurdson]

Fair. So how many people should die by your estimation for things to be good on earth?

[osigurdson]

This question always stumps the anti-human nihilist.
