My Yigo Challenge

[TLK Valentine]

Without even looking, I believe it is in Finnegayan (sp?).

Well, that's the problem, AV -- you never look for anything.

Can you answer my challenge or not?

 

[PsychoSarah]

Can you answer my challenge or not?

we already have, in your other pretty much identical challenge.

 

[Cute Tink]

Mamma mia -- the question is extremely simple.

The question may be simple, but not very many people believe it is just a question.

I could be wrong, but I think even psychiatrists would agree that if you don't believe something exists, it will be harder to find than someone who knows it exists.

IOW, not believing something can create a mental block that impairs even the empirical senses.

Kinda like how you consider evolution to be garbage, therefore you are mentally blocking yourself from any evidence to the contrary? I can see that.

I'll admit it though.

But even my challenge threads can't budge you "honest and morally-upright people."

You assume that there are only two stages of belief: believing and not believing. There is a third stage: being unsure. Many people who don't believe in something have reasons for doing so, and simply did not assume it.

Because your challenges aren't particularly well made or thought out

They fall apart so easily that people can't treat them seriously, because often the question they center on is flawed.

 

[AV1611VET]

There is a third stage: being unsure.

No kidding?

They try to push me into that category, and I refuse to budge.

Now all they can do is mock & ridicule our faith; and that's fine with me.

They mocked and ridiculed Jesus -- what makes me any better?

 

[AV1611VET]

Because your challenges aren't particularly well made or thought out

Meaning you know better than to answer them.

That's your assessment -- not mine.

We do answer them you dingus you just don't seem to realize that. We answer your questions by showing how you aren't asking the right thing to begin with.

 

[AV1611VET]

Okay.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Okay.

Not this again -_-

His "challenges" usually involve some kind of pitfall or trick, and when people refuse to be bamboozled he gets upset. Even though the questions are answered, they aren't answered the way he wants them answered.

If they are, the answers are embedded in a wall of text, in which the questioner has to guess at what the questionee is saying.

In other words, the tactic is to yak about it until either a mistake is made on the part of the questioner, or the point is diluted like it was a homeopathic medicine.

In any event, if the question is answered at all, it usually comes in the form of some cryptic verbose ridicule.

The ridicule isn't cryptic. It is pretty blatant. The questions you ask sound to us like the question "what is god's gender" would sound to you with the context that if you can't answer it "god isn't real", and if you can answer it "then you are still wrong".

In your opinion, who is more apt to find Yigo:

1. Someone who believes Yigo exists.
2. Someone who believes Yigo doesn't exist.

As an added bonus, who is more apt to pronounce Yigo correctly?

Answer: Both people have the same probability of finding something that does not exist - that probability is 0.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Um, Yigo does exist, it is a place.

 

[AV1611VET]

Solid aurum.
