"When you don't believe in God..........

[BeerMoney]

U believe you are God.."

I realize there's a problem with this statement logically, but let's ignore that.

A wise person said this to me one time...

I can't help but think of David when I think of this statement.

That's doubtful. It's a rather unwise thing to say.

I realize there's a problem with this statement logically, grammatically, syntactically, and factually, but let's ignore that.

Why would you consider someone who said this to you to be wise?

Wisdom implies the ability to think clearly and articulate clearly. This is clearly neither well thought out, nor well conveyed.

What are some other gems they gave you?

I'm quite confident the person has more education and seen more of the world then you, as well as having better SAT scores! I know Sklansky would respect the last qualification.

I guess we'll just have to take your word for it since you don't seem to be able to substantiate anything.

The original statement was still idiotic, BTW.

Just out of curiousity, why do you feel the need to be so insulting? If you don't like the statement, say why..

I don't think the statement is idiotic at all.. I think there's definitely some truth in it.

FWIW, the person said it to me because I was saying I don't really believe in God, and I'm not really sure that person does either.

I also believe that no one really believes in god. They just tell themselves they do.

Does the Big S talk about his SAT scores? That's pretty lame if he even remembers them.

[David Sklansky]

I remember them because I bet on them. Your high school SAT scores don't matter. But what you could score on them NOW definitely does.

David, as someone who has successfully applied logic to poker and other fields in many remarkable and unique ways, I find it hard to believe that you put so much stock in the SAT test.

Personally, I think it is pretty meaningless as an indication of a person's "intelligence", no matter how you define such a term.

At best it is a test of basic grammer and 3rd grade mathematics ...
