Not a great memory on you. I said this:
I'll be happy to pick it up after this busy period passes, especially if you're feeling up to discussing the topic rather than playing internet bully.
Though the "happy" part was perhaps overly polite. Amazing that you can proudly quote this:
I've read your comment ..There are no actual points."
The comment had points. You denying the existence of obvious things is on par with you believing yourself psychic.
Not a great memory on you. I said this:
That was not what I was responding to. You have no rebuttal to what I said, so you picked something I had not commented on.
Derp.
The comment had points.
Oh really? Let's examine.
It's reasonable to expect that the thought-processes of a hypothetical god are as unknowable to us as our philosophy is to an amoeba.
Obvious statement is obvious, and poses no question or assertion, other than "God is complicated".
What am I supposed to say, sure?
Nonetheless, the video starts by humbly portraying god and his god as petty violent douches who grapple with the relatively simple concept of "things they don't know".
More air. A simplistic summery of the content injected with a mix of butt-hurt and condescension.
This of course is a concept for retarded meatbags like us.
Speak for yourself. Still no point to be found.
Nonetheless, after painfully labouring the point, we finally arrive at an actual (smug, wasted) human who claims to have created all the gods, but is painfully ignorant of the unknowable question of his own creator that we were forced to watch the idiotic gods deal with.
I can summarize this sentence with one word: Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
It is a summery with an expression of emotion. A description of how you feel about the perceived message.
There is no rational argument, point, or question anywhere in that mess.

The point is clear and obvious. Despite your ridiculous assertion earlier, the video is clearly not a comedy, just review that full last minute of deadpan atheist preaching by the stoned guy if you're not sure. The video tries to sell a religious message to people who don't think enough - of course atheists will be most receptive and I'm guessing you consider yourself one. It makes sense that you tossed your toys after my comment, probably because these issues carry so much emotional weight for you. Try to be rational.
The point is clear: the idiotic Gods are all essentially atheists in that they believe they have no creator. Of course each has knowledge that they are ignorant of and are proven wrong. The stoned human/humanity is in exactly the same boat, but we are supposed to completely forget the lesson learned by each God, and just accept that he created them all without considering the obvious question of whether or not he was created.
I'm guessing the clear point above is not the problem. I'm probably up against some Sunday School teacher that abused you in various ways.
Well, look at you! Congratulations, I think that was an attempt to actually discuss the video! (in the sloppy, insulting manner of a sulking child who's been backed into a corner, but it's progress nonetheless). Just think of all of my time that you might not have wasted if your first comment was something like that above, but written by an emotional adult.
Let's walk you through the leadup to your first comment:
I can't say I'm looking forward to picking this up again
From my first comment back after my deadline, feeling a little sorry for myself at the prospect of conversing with some random dude with mental problems on the internet. (By the way, damn I feel sorry for your family if you really have some.)
And yet, here you are, unable to walk away.
IB's childish reply.
I said I'd get back to you when I had more time, and I have.
Me reminding IB, assuming he'd remember my comment before the break, that I said I'd get back to him, and I merely have done what I said I would.
No. You said :
I can't say I'm looking forward to picking this up again
and I responded with "And yet, here you are, unable to walk away." And then, as you've done often, you used a strawman because you have no rebuttal.
So here's IB apparently getting randomly confused about what seems like a straightforward reply above, repeating his childish insult from earlier, and implying that it deserves some manner of rebuttal. The factual answer I gave was far more than it deserved.
Not a great memory on you. I said this:
I'll be happy to pick it up after this busy period passes, especially if you're feeling up to discussing the topic rather than playing internet bully.
So here's me reminding IB of my comment before the break, where I said that I would continue the conversation after my deadline.
That was not what I was responding to. You have no rebuttal to what I said, so you picked something I had not commented on. Derp.
Here's IB again... still seems to be confused. Still stating that his empty insult deserves rebuttal.
At this point I have far better things I should be doing, so I'll respond to the parts of the comment above that address the video tomorrow.
I get the impression that shrinks really don't need any qualifications at all, but do earn their living.
No. You said :
and I responded with "And yet, here you are, unable to walk away."
And then, as you've done often, you used a strawman because you have no rebuttal.
That's not what 'tantrum' means. What I said was intentional, controlled, and harsh but not angry.
You keep mistaking my tone for anger. You're not paying attention, or you're projecting. You might be unable to walk away, but I'm not.
Again? Twice wasn't enough for you? Okay:
"you entirely missed the point .. but managed to find offence, despite none being given.
and:
I've read your comment ..There are no actual points."
Get it yet? Am I using words that are too big?
Have you ever wondered why every time you disagree with someone it devolves into something like this?
Have you heard the expression that "if everyone you meet is an asshole, maybe you're the asshole".
Here is a video that might help you understand what's going on here
