I agree that A is either true or false. It is false, so the logical consequences of it being true are irrelevant. I agree. That's what I said. Another...
That's rather childish, although it did give me a bit of a laugh. You could of course just respond that way to every comment I make. Alternatively, yo...
Your reply is too hasty and dismissive. That was actually a reductio ad absurdum, which is a form of argument. And you've evaded it completely. :ok: Y...
Very funny. But seriously though, have you seen the state of disrepair that Hadrian's Wall has been left in? It's a disgrace, I tell you. Let's make B...
If theism were reasonable, then there would be no need for the faith that you like to harp on about. You can't have your cake and eat it, so you need ...
There's a glaring fault there. Would you trust this demon worshipper with the care of children with Down's syndrome? "No" should be your answer. So, s...
Of course, within reason, and so as not to override other priorities higher up the list. Which obviously means that I'm not necessarily in favour of s...
Like I said in a subsequent post, regarding objective meaning, there either is none, or there may as well be none, so in that sense it's trivial. We e...
That's a complete straw man, and I shouldn't have to keep clarifying that I'm not of this extreme position that yourself and others are hastily confro...
Oh no, you've misunderstood. You see, with the goodly assistance from your local priest, you can discover that that sort of thing was just a colourful...
Howdy guys, here's a link to a random article relating to Trump, which I haven't even read, from Fox News, a source known for its strong right-wing bi...
Hold up, you previously made the point that if the language makes it obvious that it's not the real world which is the domain of discourse, then you s...
I think that that's covered by the first quote in the comment above yours. I would charitably assume that you were talking about a fictional or hypoth...
Regarding mention of the genetic fallacy, not all of us have the time or the effort or the will power or the resources to fact check claims from a que...
Pew Research is a credible source. That covers the 10.7 million in 2016. As for the rest... Federation for American Immigration Reform? Gee, that sure...
Those remarks were meant to be ironic, right? There have been colossal changes since Marx made that comment in 1848. There have been multiple successf...
Wow. That's a blatant red herring. Just to clarify, is your "Okay" a concession to the following quote which you were responding to? "First of all, yo...
Those beliefs of yours which aren't supported by science run into contradiction with the beliefs of a scientifically minded person. If the science doe...
It simply doesn't follow that if I can't imagine anything, or if no one can imagine anything, then there isn't anything. That would only follow with a...
No, you haven't shown that your whacky beliefs are consistent with science. And no, atheism isn't faith. And fine, according to you, I'm an agnostic. ...
I think that that's absurd. But the burden is on you, so... Again, that's not philosophy. Just blurting out something that you happen to believe isn't...
A universe devoid of meaning wouldn't be nothing, it would just be a universe devoid of meaning. Your reasoning doesn't make any sense. Without consci...
It's just wishful thinking. It's like a situation where we're talking about what might be in my fridge, and I say, "To me, my fridge is full to the br...
I'm not your logic tutor. Go figure it out. That's an example of the kind of poorly composed question I referred to. Do you know what a loaded questio...
I answer whatever questions I feel like answering. Do you have a problem with that? If so, tough. :grin: I don't have an answer to every question, som...
Do you realise that I've posted over six thousand comments here? Over double that amount if you were to include the posts I made on the old forum whic...
It shouldn't be, but bear in mind that Rank Amateur has an agenda. He pushes the faith rhetoric because of his faith-based theism. If he takes a leap ...
It's not very absurd. There's no contradiction to be found, merely a paradox at best, and not a very challenging one. And there's no leap of faith in ...
Wrong question. The question would be: why was it racist to claim that the judge had "an absolute conflict" in presiding over the litigation, given th...
Okay. I think I've wrapped my head around that. So, going back to this: Setting aside the premises, which I accept are true, and which, in accordance ...
Hmm. What I'm wondering is which system makes more sense? Presumably the more modern one, as it's supposed to be an improvement. So, with Aristotelian...
