The comments are a riot.

It seems to me the universe could easily be a similar process.

Oh man! This is so bad that I don't know how to react. Heck, I thought Dawkins and his New Atheist buddies were (and are) horrendously philosophically inept. I guess this is a new level of horribleness.

Ooooh this is a fun idea. We should do this every week. I've had my own experience with gnus and their ignorance of classical theism.
(But seriously are people really this dense?)

Yes, it's a fun idea and we should do this. I will do it for sure!
AKG, what had you gotten yourself into?
Oh boy. This is pitiful. The anti-realists I'm swamped with make tons of complex arguments. This is so silly. I don't even.

@Dennis,
I don't know. I think I was was engaging with someone who realized I was more than qualified to challenge his views and he decided it was best to ignore me rather than answer my questions as they would expose how little he actually knew(not that it helped as I figured this out after 2 exchanges).

That happens all the time. After many years, I now consider it a mark of intellectual excellence that one prefer the pain of being corrected to hiding or deflecting.

It is precisely “values” that are the powerless and threadbare mask of the objectification of beings, an objectification that has become flat and devoid of background. No one dies for mere values.

Oh, oh some of my personal favorites! We theists believe in an old man in the sky who just sits there and watches all over us. We all also pray to our invisible sky daddy and behave ourselves or else we will end up below the ground.

The quote, where does the quote come from?
Edit: I am not the first person to get ruffled about the misquotation:
