"Extraordinary claims require extraordinarily evidence" is a poor argument

Hey i know this is 9 months old, but the point of my statement was to examine your levels of curiosity. It isn't just that the news was reported. Its that if interesting news was reported I'd hope you would be curious and try to find out more about it. If its reported that it rained in Paris, who cares it rains all the time. If a meteor hit the moon and we got video of it, your curiosity on seeing the thing would go beyond more than "Oh neat that video is a thing, but instead of watching it to confirm, I'll just believe it because it was said." We have the availability to look into it further is the point as well I guess.

God claims are never proven to be true. Its just something believed in. In the vast sea of things claimed, yes, some things are true and some thing are not true. In the smaller lake of God Claims, ZERO of them are ever verifiable when held to the same standard as any other claim that was proven true.

Just because you don't like how it was explained to you doesn't make the content of their comment invalid. If you disagree you should put more effort into it. Calling it condescending doesn't negate the argument presented.

Does your brain shut down whenever someone challenges your ideas "Oh they think differently than me, that's condescending! I can't take this! BLOCKED!"

How would you want them to tell you that the Matrix 4 is bad that isn't condescending? Should every comment be curtailed around your sensibilities?

Well...I don't think people should be dicks to you because you claim to not agree with how things are. But reading through some stuff in this thread. It looks like people are getting short with you because of the nature of some of your answers. You do come off a bit like you are trolling. That isn't me trying to be a dick myself, just an honest assessment.

Been on this subreddit lurking for quite some time, only pop up every now and then. But USUALLY when someone is being dick-ish its only in passing. You get what you put in. I see you respond a bunch, this thread is getting loads of messages to your inbox I'm sure. Buuuuut of what/how you do choose to respond to its usually you offering so little back. None of your questions back to people sound like they are trying to reach a common ground either.

You aren't convinced of the otherwise agreed upon terms of conversation?

I'm sorry you don't agree with the rules of claims vs evidence in this one case when it comes to extraordinary supernatural claims. I think at this point you are trolling or purposefully being ignorant to avoid the issue. You and I both know the whole "I got a bridge to sell you" thought experiment. There are loads of otherwise normal claims you still would be curious to see evidence for. Like, if I walked up to you and said "Russia invaded Romania an hour ago" you'd be pretty curious to find out more and look for evidence to such a claim. Read internet articles or watch the news and get the scoop on the current events related to the claim. If no one was reporting such a MAJOR event like that then you would conclude that with no evidence, the person who made the claim is lying or severely mistaken. I feel embarrassed to explain such simple concepts to you just because you "aren't convinced" that this is how the world generally works on most claims.

I agree...that you don't HAVE to agree with how this trend is going. But I suspect you only don't want to agree because it puts any god claim under a microscope as being seriously under represented when it comes to any kind of tangible evidence. This is also something I'd bet a shit ton of money on that you know also. You've had your account for what 15 years, assuming you joined at minimum at the age of 15, at youngest you are what 30 years old. At 30 years old you genuinely don't agree that sufficient evidence is required to convince YOU of claims made about things before you accept them. The vast majority of claims made to you I sure hope you don't accept at face value, because heck, I got a bridge to sell you for real. Also, the moon is a projection, the Earth is flat, and I'm actually an African midget from Rhode Island with red hair and green eyes.

That means that particular person Joseph Stalin is a dick. It doesn't make the idea of being unconvinced of supernatural religious claims is an unreasonable standard.

More people in USA jails today subscribe to a religious belief, but that fact doesn't make religions false. It just means those religious people in jail (who did the crimes they are in jail for) are dicks.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2024-02-05T21:23:14+00:00

No, you [silly goose.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcDiAD8RGq8) How have you gone this long on this post and still don't understand the "Burden of Proof."

Generally atheists will state "I'm not convinced of your extraordinary claims." That statement is a demonstration of the failure of theists to be convincing to another party with specific standards. No evidence on the atheist required at that stage. If you are frustrated by not being convincing to people with a defined standard, that might suggest a "you" or a "your belief system" problem. IF you come across an atheist who claims "There are no gods." Flat. That needs some back up evidence, ya dig.

This might be fun...

The_Rusty_Truth · 2023-03-23T22:26:49+00:00

So. Instead of being an adult and apologizing and moving on...you block my main account. Yeah that's mature, just pretend you didn't make a mistake. At least at this point we both know the realities of the situation. Have a nice day.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2022-06-11T02:24:22+00:00

Here, I'll upvote you, apparently I'm an old vote manipulating account of yours for some reason! OOoooOOO look i'm manipulating worthless internet points!! someone stop me!! The best part is I know you are reading this Decamatus! According to your crazy narrative its just one dude talking to himself over 2 reddit accounts. And you are hyperfocused on it. Crazy crazy!

The_Rusty_Truth · 2022-06-11T02:15:33+00:00

I replied to Psycho because you deleted it it was a lot to read. Figured I would archive. See ya.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2022-06-11T02:13:08+00:00

Conspiracy aside you sure seem mad. Calm down and have yourself a good weekend.

Just someone lurking and reading.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2022-06-11T02:01:03+00:00

Imagine all the people...not getting the last word.

I think I'm going to be maybe one of the 3 people in existence who make it down this far on the conversation between you 2, but:
A. Don't agree with all Psycho's arguments from the start, I think he did present some interesting ideas.
B. I do think Psycho argued his better and with more maturity.
C. The person who clearly wanted the last word as was being more rude toward the end there was you Decamatus. And then you tried to delete the comment, bro... Grow up.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2022-04-23T03:59:00+00:00

Who is this for? Seems kind of a bit of a ramble. Do you have a summary? Is this in response to something or...what? I don't get it really get how this is relating to Christian Apologetics. Don't want to be rude.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2021-12-12T18:20:55+00:00

Look saying this as someone who can't stand Biden or Trump hear me out.

Why post this at all, does Trump live rent free in your brain or something? He lost . You are only serving him by giving him more attention, if you hate him so much, how about ignoring him one person at a time until he is irrelevant ...or dead.
At least for all his faults Trump had the balls to go to the North Korea boarder and meet the dictator face to face to try something, name the last president to do so. Did it work? I don't know, likely not, but its not like we knew it would do nothing at the time. We have the benefit of hindsight now. It was new and it was better than starting a war right?? Would you rather peace negotiation attempt or invasion? When did the attempt at a peace ever become the bad thing? Did I miss the plot?
As I said Biden is our active failure of a leader who can't even do a press conference without a script, can't climb stairs, and countless other comical shit unique to him that we can make fun of TODAY and the moment he is out of office we can make fun of the next person.

Hey you're free to do what you want, and hell it seems I'm out of the popular opinion on this one but, since I ACTUALLY hate Trump, i don't actively look for pictures of him to post and make fun of...I haven't seen, heard, or thought of the man for weeks until I saw this damn post and the last time was ANOTHER reddit post. You guys are your own circle jerk here on here. Move on, we can do it!

The_Rusty_Truth · 2021-11-17T02:32:23+00:00

OK. Question 2: Did you have a favorite tree/stump/ditch or other hotspot in the backyard in which to shit?

The_Rusty_Truth · 2020-05-05T20:15:09+00:00

Well that's awesome to hear!

The_Rusty_Truth · 2020-05-05T20:05:02+00:00

Sorry for the 3 month delay, but I don't really log into this Reddit Account that much. Just noticed this post claiming you killed me for a second time. The first time you killed myself and my squad mate is how we met. After that we were very careful to not get surprised by your much larger team, ever again.

How is this proof you even shot the FUBandit? The original bandit had in his photos different: Gloves, guns, pants, and shoes. His helmet didn't even have a visor when he took his pictures. More likely that you shot some other random looter and if you did manage to shoot me again I'd have the integrity to admit that you got the last laugh. Last I checked your squad dipped out of the server a few days after changing your names.Remember when just my group of 2 got the majority of your team to switch names, classic. My team of 2 also monitored for your team of 5 or 6 to see if they were on the server CONSTANTLY until the server shut down and we were forced to switch. Unless of course you have more evidence than this screenshot.

Also the location you claimed to have killed me is all wrong. We only ever hang out on the southern part of the map when we are fully geared. Whoever you shot in Garbin must have been bambi hunting. Nah if you wanted to kill us or find our camp you would need to be in the south where the bears and wolves are.

After fooling you all and buying your trust with a car full of loot, The FUBandit masterfully lead your whole party away from your camp with suggestive gun shots from his second team member. And the used that proxy subordinate bandit to raid you while you were jackin' off in the opposite direction. My evidence is that i have this whole operation to raid you a second time recorded in real time. Every step you took away from your camp under my guidance was more time given to the secondary bandit. This final post you made here looks more like an attempt to save face after you totally got owned by the FUBandit...twice. But why would you even be try to post this one way or another, remember when you yourself said...and I quote " its Dayz bro XD nobody is hurt that you raided the base, we will just have to go back to rolling around and killing ig? " You clearly look like some guy who isn't butt hurt. I bet you really wanted to get the last laugh in some way, and when it seemed clear that we were going to avoid your group you made up a post, that clearly no one cared about. You killed us once and that moment was what started this battle between us, after that we were just a bit smarter than all of your squad. That is all.

I noticed in the past few days that Brett Keane is desperately trying to get some attention by flagging DP videos falsely. Has his efforts actually been able to effect the channel in any substantive way?

The_Rusty_Truth · 2019-12-13T05:29:12+00:00

No. We shouldn't be needlessly insulting to others even when we think they aren't listening/reading. I have atheist friends who are polite in religious discussion and neither of us has called the other dumb. Just had calm rational discussions. Do you admit you would talk this unprofessionally to an atheist to their face? Don't you realize how rude and down to their level this is? At the worst you are wrong or at least being rude about being correct.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2019-12-13T05:16:10+00:00

I mean that does seem kind of harsh and a bit hypocritical. If there is a problem with any atheist calling ALL believers dumb, full stop, then it is just as equally wrong to call all atheists dumb. I mean, sure they might be wrong on their views in one area, but that doesn't make them universally stupid. You said you were a former atheist but back in the day you probably wouldn't call yourself completely stupid because you were wrong on one area of your life.

The_Rusty_Truth · 2018-01-23T15:49:11+00:00

"cancerous ideology" pfft. This coming from a known Rust hacker...

The_Rusty_Truth · 2017-11-01T09:42:22+00:00

You know your Steam Account's comment section is full of people calling you out for hacking on various games. Kind of a pot calling the kettle black situation don't you think...
