Ok... Lifegazer wants a
serious discussion? Well then, I'll largely keep out of this one, except to make one point... Lifegazer has always, always avoided laying his thoughts down in stone, because he knows if he remains consistent, he'll eventually be consistently discreditted; He stated as much in the thread where Pahansari asked him what his intentions were in trying to argue here...
My primary aim has been to improve my philosophy, with a view to, ultimately, changing the widespread contemporary mindset. I've said on several occasions that it's an evolving piece of work. Maybe one day I'll write a book. Who knows.

And so, even if you do get your 10 bulletin points today, he's only going to "evolve" with them tomorrow when it becomes apparent that there are huge flaws in the logic of what he's claimed. He doesn't
have a "philosophy", he has a desperate need to justify his own withdrawal from society, to overturn society... whilst simultaneously wanting to be thought of as a great thinker by that self same society. And if he doesn't achieve the latter, he'll re-write the former... and if he still doesn't get the latter, expect to be called a "plonker" (and worse), and to "go up a gear" as he lashes out at you for not worshipping him, and at himself for believing he ever needed the admiration of people he despises.
But maybe I'm wrong. So let's give him the chance to prove how serious he really is about having true wisdom;
Lifegazer absolutely
has to state that these 10 points are not changeable. After all, he knows the truth, right? And is the truth mutable? So no changing your claims when your original claims get laughed at; No changing between "nothingness" and "hell" depending on which consequences of rejecting his ideas he thinks scares you more. Lifegazer states absolutely categorically that these 10 things are the things he holds to be absolutely true... no insulting people, no weaselling around words, no despicable mercanerism from him; Lifegazer stands his ground on those 10 points, and he tries to
hold that ground with the power of his logic.
It's a question of honesty. I say he has none, that he has a broken and evilly selfish mind, and that he'll not have the basic decency to admit that he's changing God to fit his own needs, rather than having any kind of true wisdom at all. But here's his chance to prove me wrong.
And if he changes any of his 10 claims, or indeed refuses to give you 10 such claims, it should be his last chance with his arguments here[/i]
The JREF shouldn't ban him. And he won't have the honesty to admit he's beaten and withdraw from the argumentative field. But the instant anyone sees him break his own "philisophy", you instantly put him on ignore.
As for myself, I'm going to take a wise posters advice and Lifegazer is going to be the first person on my own ignore list. I simply don't have an eternity with my loved ones, within this reality and it's people, to waste on an offensive lunatic like him.
