Are you saying that it's not a fact that what he has faith in (namely that there is some form of supernatural being or entity) exists in the universe ...
Yes, faith can be absurd. There are no restrictions on faith. But reasonableness is different. If we're being reasonable, then we can't permit absurdi...
There's definitely a fact. Of that I am certain. As per the fundamental laws of logic, either God is, or God is not. It can't be both or neither. That...
Yes, you've made that pretty clear multiple times, but that would be unwise for anyone who is a soft atheist, as they don't have that burden. You shou...
He already has done. It took many pages of discussion to finally reach a resolution, and he's forgotten it already! This is one of those moments where...
Scientific fact, and it's arguably in conflict with what's reasonable. And also, this all hinges on the meaning of "conflict". If scientific fact says...
In my view, ethics and aesthetics are subjective matters. That's a topic in itself. I accept that there are facts about the world, and I would reject ...
Bad news: they had to put Fido down. The treatment got rid of the worms, but Fido walked into my room whilst I was using my laptop to browse through t...
No. Your comments are directed at the wrong person if they're directed at me. I was just using logic to analyse Rank Amateur's argument. That argument...
Yes, albeit with the qualification that it's a matter of judgement rather than a matter of fact. I judge it to be inexcusable because of my values, wh...
Ah, a god the existence of which makes no real difference. A bit like a celestial tea pot in terms of what it does, or rather doesn't do. Except that ...
I think that that last sentence is either untrue or misleading. Whilst I agree that those religious beliefs and some other beliefs would be effected, ...
I hereby dub this the boring small talk thread. "Hey, how's it going? How're the kids? The weather's nice outside, isn't it? What are you doing later?...
There really is no need for Baden's input. Just see here, for example. It explains when it can be used, what the rules are, and gives multiple example...
Okay, I'm sorry. There-there, hush now, mummy make it better. Would you like a tissue? How about a hug? Are you done now? Can we continue? Or would yo...
The difference is that mine was relevant to the topic. You should do. The primary purpose of this forum is to discuss philosophy, and the topic of thi...
That's it, bring out the ad hominems against me. Everyone line up and take turns. I'm mean and young and ignorant! I mean, I use the word "fuck" here ...
Thank the heavens above for apologists such as yourself, striding in on your white horse to attempt to defend the indefensible, and drag Trump from ou...
It isn't reasonable, to the best of my knowledge, but I've not once denied that it's a possibility (adding "real" doesn't do anything, except mislead,...
No, I didn't read what you wrote before. I assumed that it was something along the lines of, "Y'all right our kid? What it is right, me boiler's gone ...
Eh? But why would you think otherwise? Nothing's impossible unless there's a contradiction. Why would you assume that I thought that it would be impos...
That's exactly the kind of reply that I expected from you. So, we have Inis, with little-to-no in-depth knowledge of complex economics, versus a conse...
You're pretty clueless, aren't you? A colon is supposed to be used to explicate something like that, and the way that you split the sentence into two ...
You've shown that you can selectively quote statistics. Well done. But how about an economic forecast? Are you capable of that? Are you an economist? ...
That should be a single sentence with a colon instead of a full stop. I'm from a part of England where they teach you things like that in school, inst...
:rofl: Jesus Christ. They're the same in the relevant sense. They have the same logical form. Antecedent, material implication, consequent. P?Q. The '...
Sorry, did you say something? I was paying very little attention. However, I did notice that you erroneously tried to correct a British English spelli...
I suppose his dodgy tactics have given us an incentive to look at the bigger picture, which then exposes the economic disadvantages to Brexit. That wo...
That is a red herring, which is an informal logical fallacy. My point was that the figure you quote, that 8% (although it's actually 7.4%) is relating...
As I pointed out before, he also quotes statistics relating to goods only, which excludes services. I wonder why this could be? 1. Main points Total U...
So, you accept that there's no faith in such a position, and you're going to stop saying otherwise? If not, where oh where is this illusive faith of w...
I'm just a big fan of irony, and I love the irony of an English teacher (or former English teacher) who has below par grammar, yet either doesn't real...
That's not an answer. You're a con artist. Let's look at UK trade with the US compared to UK trade with the EU: From an article titled, 'Who does the ...
So it looks very small in isolation, so that's how he's going to present it, and he's just going to keep repeating this stuff, and doing stuff like th...
:yawn: From page 1: Baden did a better job of arguing that the referendum was invalid or undemocratic or however it's to be worded, and I don't agree ...
By the definition in your argument - a supernatural entity or being - sure. Unless I become aware of a contradiction, I will think that there's a chan...
Ironically, it seems that his bringing that up seems to be a means of sending out the message, "Stop talking about things like xenophobia!", "Don't lo...
You're looking for an easy target, and I am not one. I wouldn't consciously commit 100% to anything whatsoever, unless I thought that it was 100% cert...
Yes, I was thinking of you when I came up with the name. What are we to do with you? I don't think that repair is a viable option. Might have to go wi...
