No, I pointed out far much more than that; I'm sorry you're having reading problems. So, the only pointless words were all yours. No, I've had to make...

Oh my. Relax, Locks. You said "good point," which means "good point," and I pointed out it wasn't. Using your faulty logic, one could say "good point"...
August 12, 2017 at 22:54
And since you haven't shown you have such a clue, you're griping about yourself.
August 12, 2017 at 22:25
Actually, it's not a good point since my assertion was founded on the notion one couldn't assert something existed until it was found, not that everyt...
August 12, 2017 at 22:24
Then you've never seen an actual physical demonstration of reality, as in you've never seen a car drive or plane fly. Those are physical demonstration...

You may have noticed that Michael Ossipoof is making lame personal attacks, which makes him a troll. I never did either of these things, and Ossipoff ...
August 12, 2017 at 19:53
And this isn't an assertion; it is a crafted argument. However, feel free to counter and show how the experience of one person can speak for an entire...
August 12, 2017 at 19:43
Finally. You make up for diligence in what you lack in incisiveness.
August 12, 2017 at 19:37
See: The main difference is my statements are true.
August 12, 2017 at 19:35
No, that's been you, and you did it again in your quote above.
August 12, 2017 at 19:28
I disagree, but again, we're making wide sweeping statements here. ?Noble Dust >:O ?Noble Dust I have experienced Christianity this way, so it must be...
August 12, 2017 at 19:27
I Actually, I have--in my last post, and in the post before where you ignored the part below. But since you've offered no actual points, we're definit...

You can disagree, but you'd be wrong, — John Harris Yes, you can disagree, but you'd be wrong, and no childish--are you over 18?--emolji changes that....
August 12, 2017 at 19:12
No, mostly they don't, and if they do go negative it's usually on "guilt,' not "shame"...very different things. The reality is most Christians, includ...
August 12, 2017 at 19:03
Nah.
August 12, 2017 at 18:50
Again personal experience is never enough to speak for the realities of the group. Using that logic, a woman who was raped by a police officer could s...
August 12, 2017 at 18:49
You can disagree, but you'd be wrong, and when you disagree you are making wide sweeping statements here, so I guess we'll keep making them. Anyone sh...
August 12, 2017 at 18:48
I would say we should both avoid making such a gestalt. But if we were to comment on that gestalt/zeitgeist of the faith, then I would say most, parti...
August 12, 2017 at 18:42
Sure it is, and grouping members of all the various Christian groups in one gestalt is a mistake and a poor indicator. Many Christians, particularly A...
August 12, 2017 at 18:33
Christianity is all about the person since Christ revealed the divinity inherent in all people. And not all Christians, or even all Catholic scholars,...
August 12, 2017 at 18:14
Since we became an enlightened, scientific society. Otherwise people with your standard could point to a rock and say "look, there's a soul," or point...
August 12, 2017 at 13:43
Except scientific verification is still required for consensual agreement on existence of entities. Again, using your weak standards, people can asser...
August 12, 2017 at 13:11
Sure it hasn't been demonstrated. What you referred to was theorizing, not demonstrating. Using your faulty logic, many people have demonstrated God, ...
August 12, 2017 at 12:56
What you miss about that definition, and Comtes, of positivism, is it doesn't just reject non-scientific methods for determining the scientific existe...

I am Thanatos Sand. I forgot my password and I thought I had made that clear to everyone. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear to you.
August 12, 2017 at 12:48
I'm not trying to hide anything. I lost my password and wanted to respond to the posts addressed to me on the "soul" thread. And I am old school with ...
August 12, 2017 at 09:19
No worries, Erik...:)
August 12, 2017 at 09:09
No, the thing I call "life" is life. What people like you call the soul or prana or Qi or Christ's spirit or the boogeyman are different things entire...
August 12, 2017 at 03:20
Life is evidence of life, not the soul. Your reasoning is as bizarre as your worldview. And I've experienced life, but you surely haven't . You've red...
August 12, 2017 at 03:10
No, it's not and you need to show the science and scientific effort that even tried to do that. Denying qualia is no different than denying God or ang...
August 12, 2017 at 03:07
No, you denied life by calling it the soul and you gave no evidence. You don't even know what that word means. That's not surprising, you don't know w...
August 12, 2017 at 03:06
I didn't say "demonstrated to me;" I correctly said it hasn't been demonstrated, period, and it hasn't. So, I'm going to have to mention the words "pr...
August 12, 2017 at 03:05
No, you're the hoot. I correctly said the soul is supernatural....poor kid.
August 12, 2017 at 03:01
No, it doesn't make any sense, since there's no evidence it exists or causes life. I clearly can't force feed that reality to you.
August 12, 2017 at 02:46
Sorry, you appealed to supernatural forces since you appeal to the soul which has never been shown or revealed in nature. So, you're right there with ...
August 12, 2017 at 02:45
Nope, since I showed you started the bullying, I was giving the bully (you) a giant dose of his own medicine.
August 12, 2017 at 02:43
None of that has been demonstrated. And, sorry, but there is no evidence that any of those things, including the soul, are real and you havent' provid...
August 12, 2017 at 02:42
Sorry, as shown below, the only one who has been insulting has been you.
August 12, 2017 at 02:36
Of course we all haven't. It is not the life force inside us all, and nobody has shown it to be. Many say God gives us life too, that's no less ridicu...
August 12, 2017 at 02:35
And you argue incorrectly since all living things are animated and it is not the soul that causes it. So, your term fails. If you want to call life "s...
August 12, 2017 at 02:30
Oh, I've shown more than enough of that. I've had to deal with tag-teams of you soft-minds...:)
August 12, 2017 at 02:22
Keep showing off that lack of a college degree, Caskev; it's truly endearing...:)
August 12, 2017 at 02:18
The real question is on what principle do you say the soul was discovered and named. Using your logic, God, the angels, and the demons were discovered...
August 12, 2017 at 02:17
No, it doesn't. We know where memory and mnemotic activity occurs but we have no idea where one word is located as opposed to another and in which par...
August 12, 2017 at 02:10
Words aren't stored in any one singular part of the brain, and no neurologist claims that. So, that comparison doesn't work. However, the soul has not...
August 12, 2017 at 02:00
Sorry, you compared the soul to the part of our brain that generates language, a physical part of the brain, so you did argue the soul as something th...
August 12, 2017 at 01:50
I've made clear I'm no idiot, Cashkev, unlike you trying to compensate for your poor education and intelligence with your hilarious pretentious posts ...
August 12, 2017 at 01:36
No, not knowing the exact in a particular organ causing a particular effect does not make the cause of that effect supernatural; it makes it natural b...
August 12, 2017 at 01:35
Sorry, ensoulment has no basis in reality since the a material soul has never been discovered or recorded. It makes as much sense as believing in ange...
August 12, 2017 at 01:26
No, you're missing the point Meta. A rock is still a physical object that was discovered and named, a soul isn't. So, your comparison is completely no...
