How to shut up an extremist atheist:
Remind him that the scientific process is about always accepting the possibility of being wrong.

True, but it's far more scientific to follow conclusions that actually have evidence behind them than those that don't.

How to shut up a extremist atheist:
Remind him that the scientific process is about always accepting the possibility of being wrong.

Hmm... Then again, that works both ways. Doesn't it?

not really, real faith requires that you be unwavering in your beliefs, i.e not accepting the possibility of being wrong.

I think he's just pointing out the irony of the post (in that both sides should accept there's a slight possibility that they're wrong, yet the initial poster has decided to go after one side only). I.e. he's saying the same as you in a roundabout way.

OT: How to shut up Dane Cook and his "comedy":

How to shut up those really annoying Republicans who think they know everything.

"Care to elaborate?"

Most of them don't even know what elaborate means.

Now I'm not Republican, though I am Conservative. What you posted is the stereotype of Republicans are stupid and uneducated. Which isn't true. Such a thing wouldn't get me to shut up. I've been in threads "elaborating" until I had to leave because I had more important things to deal with, like going to class or eating.

Elaborate: To explain a subject further with detail.

How to shut a Liberal up in a second.

Tell them to use a non-liberal source of information to disprove your argument.

If they do come back with information they claim isn't liberal, there is a 99.9% chance it is Liberal. Countless times I have looked up sources that Liberals have used after I used my shut up technique, and I have shot down every one.

They usually come back with some obscure source, but when I do research, I find that the trail leads to Liberals. The Liberal that brings the information back, thinks that since I am Conservative and most likely stupid, I won't actually take the time to do the research to disprove his source.

lol. That's not exactly a fair request.

Asking for a non-liberal source can really only mean one of two things: Asking them to use a conservative source to back their argument (which, if the argument follows political lines to any real degree is asking them to use an opposing viewpoint to back their own - that's hardly plausible).
Alternatively, you're asking them to use an unbiased source... Which sounds reasonable until you realise there's pretty much no such thing if you dig deep enough. Which, in essence gives you free reign to discredit their source as being liberal on the grounds of some minor point.

You see, it's a no win situation because you're using what's basically an unfair discussion technique.

Then again... Considering the point to this thread, I suppose that makes sense. But in an actual debate, it's pointless to even talk to someone who says things like this.

Hoo, boy. I can see this thread offending someone.

Anyway... How to shut up a console/PC elitist: Just agree with them. Oh, god, just say "You know what, Mr or Mrs hardcore gamer? You are absolutely correct; my views are, indeed, inferior to yours."

I have spent too long trying to merely *end* these arguments to bother otherwise.

How to shut up a Troll in a second.

The Game

NOOOOOOO!!!! Damn you...

I find you can make anything into an awkward silence using the "If I was ____ I'd totally ____ you!" formula...

Example:
Stupid Person I know-"Playstation 3 is WAY better than Xbox 360!"
Me-"If I was hungry I'd so totally eat you..."
Stupid Person I know-"...wait, what?"

How to shut a male up in a second:
Punch him right in the dick!

Seriously though. I find the best way to shut up a troll is to start singing bidibodi bidibu. It's surprising good at making them confused.

So essentially, Faith= Denial of opposing possibilities. How insightful!

haha I'm not saying I agree with it but yeah pretty much, have you ever met someone with a firm belief in god who is also will to say that the theory of evolution is a possible explanation for mankind. to be honest I was just pointing out that your what you said before made no sense.

How to shut up an economist.
Compare the invisible hand to God.

I hope I'm not the only one here, but could you explain that one?

The invisible hand is a part of laissez faire economics (translated to "let it be"). The idea is the market will correct itself in time and you cannot force it.

What else can't you see, influences the world, and you just have to have complete faith in?
