I agree

Wait, he doesn't like the idea of wormholes, but he also thinks that we have no choice in what we do. That's absurd.

[dortmunder]

Yeah, the phone breathing is getting really annoying. I think hes smoking and exhaling into the phone.

I have this image of him just sitting there sighing and facepalming every time anyone says anything. He just seems to hate everyone.

[popple]

Finally he told him not to breathe in the frickin phone!

MY WORMHOLES WERE SUCCESSFUL!!!

[Quick Karl]

I know this is strange but, attractive young green women just do something to me...

[SaucyRossy]

Woah woah woah

How can you be an atheist and not believe in free will.

[WildCard]

So reading it in a magazine trumps direct experience?

Woah woah woah

He's in lalalala land on that one!

[PrairieGhost]

Art has totally pinned him down on choice and burned him crisp!

[popple]

"That's choice. In other words, as I grow up as Art Bell, I can make choices. I can be a truck smuggler in Africa"

[aldousburbank]

Wait, he doesn't like the idea of wormholes, but he also thinks that we have no choice in what we do. That's absurd.

His lack of belief has been predetermined by The Great Wazini, creator of all that is dull, limp, and boring.

[Heather Wade]

More and more I think he's depressed.  He should just go Goth and get it over with.

[popple]

THERE IS NO MEANING TO EXISTENCE!!!

Mattie knows not of what he speaks. LOL

[popple]

Wooo hooo! This one caller just told Matthew he is an agent of evil.

[nooryisawesome]

Only true bible ?
Oy gevalt !
It always amazes me how Christian fundies seem to forget that their bible has its roots in the Old Testament which was in Hebrew !
If I wanted to be a fanatic about it, ALL the Christians are reading fiction because the Torah IS the original and going back there was no sequel to it.

The new testament is broken into the gospels which are separate stories of Christ. The other books are part history and letters from various writers after Christ. The books were not compiled until later and there are several other books which make up the apocrypha not to be confused with several of the books of the old testament in the Catholic bible. This is the purpose of the New Testament.

Oh quit with your religious silliness and just name him. We all know the Great Wazini is Noory.

I got home late (Giants game! ! !) is tonight's interview worth a listen?

[midnight]

Would you be offended if he had an experience similar to that but chalked it up to medication, things being pressed in the subconscious, etc. basically anything but what happened to him is the same thing that happened to you?

No, of course I wouldn't be offended.  That word doesn't even come close to what I'm talking about.

If he sees a yellow car, he probably wouldn't chalk it up to medication or the subconscious.  If he sees a mile long triangle in the sky like so many have, and he wants to chalk it up to medication, then that's up to him, of course.  But on some deep level, I do believe it would change him.

[SaucyRossy]

Alper got stuck on Sarte and hasn't had the intellectual ability to see past existentialism.

[phrodo]

This guy is just an ultimate TROLL ... he cannot accept that he is wrong no matter how many people tell him so.

And his usage of "religiousity" is annoying ... I'd never heard the word before tonight (even had to look it up to see if he had made up the word) -- but he's used it about 30 times tonight.... 

[popple]

Life has no meaning but that doesn't mean we can't experience the joy in it.

LOL Matthew...

If god has blessed you with an open mind and humorous heart, yes.  Good smoke helps too.

MY WORMHOLES WERE SUCCESSFUL!!!

Believe me you weren't the only one.

I sent 2.

[SciFiAuthor]

Now he's after computer users.

I shall go ahead and brand this guy as a complete ass that hates everyone.

[Earth Pod]

More and more I think he's depressed.  He should just go Goth and get it over with.

OR--we could join in an intervention and ship him off to get some help. LOL

[Mind Flayer Monk]

haha...more hermetic, living in a fantasy world in my apartment...with you all, my imaginary friends.

[PrairieGhost]

I'm addicted to you guys! Lol

[popple]

"A billion years ago from now will my life have meaning?"

Yeah, that made sense.

Bellgab isn't real?
