When we get up every morning, or whenever we stir, we don't automatically decide how we will conduct ourselves. We largely depend on events that happen to us and respond. Even when we have a plan, short or long range, this is still the case.This is a product of evolution. Living organisms responded to their respective environments and sought out the best situation that they could thrive and function. They had to adapt when necessary. These adaptations were random and only the successful adaptations survived.
So conduct or behavior is a product of evolution. Now I could bore you with endless observations and clinical studies that prove this very fact but I will continue with the thought that you well know this fact already and don't need exhaustive references to pour over.
Psychology, anthropology, and many other disciplines utilize this knowledge every single day.
For me, I have found that I adjust my behavior according to necessity. Of course, I have a plan in mind before I do things, but circumstances dictate my responses on many occasions.
I am brash, blunt and yes rude, for many reasons. I have explained some of those reasons before. But what many don't understand that my conduct is not the same for every situation.
For example, I am quite bored with conservative and theists excuses. It pains me to read and hear the same old drone that is obviously a lie. Therefore I confront those people with clear disdain and profanity. It is an attack on their sensibilities. It is a tactic that I learned on the drill field and I know it works.
It goes like this.
A person that is comfortable with themselves can never change. The fear of change freezes them into a cacoon stupor. They need to be shocked out of that comfort zone. Incidentally, it just happens to be the widest used tactic of sales.
I'll give you an example. Take Rush Limbaugh. Why do you think he rose to the top of conservative propaganda ministry? Shock value! Now I don't respect Rush at all, but I cannot deny his success.
So lately a couple of theists and one atheist on this forum have complained about my language. Their fragile sensibilities have been rocked. Good!
They have been cocooned in their proverbial comfort zone too long.
This has stimulated vigorous debate and has done two things. It has exposed their lack of ability to answer simple debate questions and believe it or not has caused them to question themselves.
So I don't mind the recent personal attack on me. I welcome it. I know that I have struck a nerve.
As for all you civil atheists debaters, I'll hope you will thank me for absorbing their irrationalities. If you noticed that they spew hate at me but desperately try to be rational with you. The effect was strategic. It is a short lived plan, however, because these irrational illogical theists find themselves in a self-positioned corner and start lashing out at everyone. Just observe the chronology and you'll see what I mean.
I doubt if I will change my style but on occasion, given whom I am replying to, I do behave quite differently. For example, my interaction with John Breezy. I don't agree with him at all, but I don't try and shock him with profanity. He is an excellent debater and his statements are well grounded in fact and logic (even though he is always wrong in my book, ha ha).
