Does Sklansky forgive?
Many Christains claim that a member of the Wakaputi tribe residing deep in an unkown forest will be forgiven if he has never heard the word of God.
I wonder if Sklansky can forgive the +130 IQ devout Muslim who blows himself up along with 10 other people? Not for his dasterdly deed, but for believing it was in the name of Allah? What I'm really asking is if a genius who has been brainwashed since child birth can be forgiven for having such erroneous beliefs? Should genius transcend brainwashing? If Isaac Newton was brainwashed since birth, just how long should it take for another genius like Sklansky to convince him to become an atheist? |

[/ QUOTE ] I think they need to raise to bar for "genius level" Bobby Fisher= brainwashed genius David Sklansky is very intelligent. Probably smarter than 90% or more of the 2+2 posters. But please, don't ever compare David Sklansky to Issac Newton ever again. Ever. This would literally bring me to tears if this were even close to comparable, as I would have to personally blame myself for not curing cancer yet. To answer your first question What difference is there to the Christian GOD, between someone with a 130 IQ, someone with a 78 IQ and someone with a 235 IQ? |

If you read some of Sklanksy's work you say huh! never thought about it that way. If you read Newtons work.......... I mean Really!! I'm done with this thread, just working towards my Carpal Tunnel saw an easy mark! |

[/ QUOTE ] Oh really? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I read the tread and yes really. There is no way you are going to convince me that David Sklansky will say that if he lived in the mid 1600s he would have beaten Issac Newton to publishing Principia Mathematica. I mean he lives in 2005 and he writes books on checking when the likley bettor is to your left. He was simply saying that he is able to see farther by sitting in the laps of the people who are standing on the shoulders of giants. That is all I saw in that thread. Mabye a little arrogant at worst to think he belongs at a debate 1 on 1 with Issac Newton in 2005 on the existence of God in a biblical sense. There are greater minds that could stand in for him on that debate who definitly wouldn't need 6 months of preperation. I think David Sklanksy Catches alot of childish challenges on these threads and I wish the discussions were more civil and in a less ego based format. As there are actually some very interesting topics on here. I think he has become a world class ignorer because of these threads. I think with the experience from these threads, he could "out ignore" Issac Newton in a room full of arrogant, complex driven 2+2ers. |

I love how you pull it out every now and again and use it as asome sort of evidence that "Sklansky thinks he's smarter than Newton" (adding your little smirking emoticon each time, too). All that link says is that Sklansky has 350 years of other people's research and thinking to reflect on that Newton didn't have in the 1600s. Stop using that thread to attempt to discredit DS, it is getting pathetic and only discredits yourself. |

Re: Does Sklansky forgive?
I can't answer your precise questions, but as to the general one in your title, I can definitively say yes.
