Arthur C. Clarke Talks With The Onion

sootman writes "The Onion has an interview with Arthur C. Clarke in this week's issue. My favorite line: 'The asteroid [named after me] is number four thousand and something, and the International Astronomical Federation, which deals with these sorts of things and numbered it, apologized to me because number 2001 wasn't available, having been given to somebody named "A. Einstein."'" Reader ronys point out that Despite the source, the interview is not a spoof or satire."

    Give him a break. I'm surprised he is still alive, let alone coherent.

    Reread my post; what part of "benefit of the doubt" are you incapable of grasping?

    The real answer is, of course, "lots of young boys".

    Your logic is flawed. Clarke says "religion is the most malevolent mind virus". That statement says nothing about secular humanism. The only conclusion about secular humanism that be drawn from that statement is that Clarke believes that secular humanism is not as malevolent as religion (since religion is the most malevolent).

    An amazing conclusion you jumped to there - can you show your logical working?

    No, jackass, but it's fun to use that theory to annoy them.

    "You know for a fact that there is a God. You have been in his presence. He's spoken to you personally, and yet I just heard you claim to be an atheist."
    "I just like to fuck with the clergy, man. I just love it. I just love to keep those guys on their toes."

    Or something like that. :D

    No, but you're a dick who happens to be American. Note that the two qualities are seperable.
