Behind of all of those words is nothing but posturing. It's all bark and no bite. Excuses. You expect me to comply with your request, even though I've...

That's not necessary. Surely you know whether you believe in anything that you'd call "god"? I don't see how you could catch me out on that one, since...

On the contrary, it sounds like an expression of weak atheism, not strong atheism, as it uses "I don't believe" instead of "I believe". You seem like ...

I wish I could share your in your glee, but you've been a disappointment. You have failed to rip my position to pieces or demolish it, as you claimed....

They might be mistaken and they might be unreasonable. Some almost certainly are.

:roll: I'll pass.

I had a feeling that you were going to say something like that. Why would you jump to the conclusion that I believe in an objective morality, just bec...

It doesn't have to be relative in that sense. It's a broader position than that. It could be relative to a culture, a group, or an individual. It can ...

Don't act like you're not guilty of playing word games. Whims and fancies? Trying to trivialise a position you disagree with? Anyway, it depends on wh...

Then you'd just need to demonstrate that morality under moral relativism has no basis, which isn't possible without stretching the meaning of "basis" ...

There's compelling evidence that we're only ignorant to the extent that it's possible that there's a God that is no different in practical terms to no...

Oh, nevermind @"StreetlightX".

I'm a Jedi. We're friends, aren't we? Wait, don't answer that.

What conditions would they be?

You're quite predictable. Has anyone ever told you that? I've answered your question in my own way. Just because I won't dance to your tune, you're th...

If you continue in this vein, I predict that we'll go around in circles. I've given you enough rope to hang yourself with. You are more than capable o...

Can we cut to the chase? Are you suggesting that it requires special pleading? If so, then that's simply not good enough. I have standards to maintain...

You're getting ahead of yourself. I haven't even mentioned common sense. I also believe things which aren't obvious to common sense. I believe that E ...

If not, then what's the problem? Oh, that's right, he doesn't have any problems with it. :grin: So, anyway, when are you going to rip my position to p...

I would be looking for a similar basis as that which is behind other beliefs of mine. Why do I believe that there are planets and stars? Why do I beli...

No, that's not what I meant, and I don't think that asking why there is this physical universe is a sensible or appropriate question. It's a loaded qu...

Because otherwise chaos would ensue! The sun would melt stuff and some such. Of course, there's no way to actually know that, like much of what he has...

Okay, so you wouldn't find it personally insulting. Just kind of dumb?

Would you find it insulting if I suggested that theist morality supports terrorism? I could show you this video, but I think you get the point.

That's insulting to a lot of people. I think that maybe if you had a taste of your own medicine, you might realise why it's insulting.

Wait. Wasn't it you who posted that video of people expressing sympathy with people who partake in incest in a topic that's supposed to be about athei...

When we're extinct, I predict.

Welcome to the forum. There are different types of atheism, even though it is true that I have described something common to all types. All atheists d...

This again? Jeez. You're like a petulant child throwing his toys out of the pram. You'd prefer disingenuous agreement, just to keep the peace, so to s...

No, I don't think that that's true. If I was thinking about whether physicalism is the case, I would start by thinking about the kind of things in the...

We're not getting anywhere with this. They are both matters of fact. It's not that difficult to grasp. Matters of fact don't have to be settled to be ...

Yes.

My word. And I thought I was bad! :lol: I'm pretty sure he knows what science is. Most of us here would have studied it at school.

A triviality? Why thank you, kind sir. You're welcome, but it was solicited by Jake, who suggested that I create a discussion about my position so tha...

I agree with you that making reality relatable via a theistic narrative is a step removed from reality, but I don't agree that that's a contradiction....

I don't know. One with me in it? I'm kewl. But anyway, what's your favourite Pokémon? Let's talk about that instead.

I have plenty of indifference to it in my day-to-day life, outside of this forum. It only gets my attention on occasions like this. But I see your arg...

Actually, to be precise, that's not what I said. I said that I don't believe that God exists, and that I don't believe that any god or gods going by a...

I've said it a number of times now. I can be certain if it violates the law of noncontradiction. And I can be certain if it entails evidence which is ...

Your hyperbolic rants against materialism, or, as it's now called, physicalism, try so hard to make it appear much more unreasonable than it is. But i...

Then you're a sensible chap, Bitter Crank. I'm not even sure whether those who have recently purported to disagree with it have any kind of problem wi...

What he says isn't true, which also means that the basic reason why you consider yourself to be an agnostic is an untruth. How is it a position of fai...

Okie dokie. Anyway, I have bad news for you. If reincarnation follows from the Eliminative Ontic Structural Subjective Idealism metaphysics that you'v...

No. But it seems that I was right to suspect that this was your misunderstanding. Where does it conclude that there's no God? :brow:

I could do, and maybe I will, but I would like you to tell me in what way you think that your position differs from mine.

But do you realise that I was talking about evidence to not believe in God, which is not incompatible with agnosticism? I haven't tried to justify the...

Haha, do you think that you can rip my position to shreds? Do you think that you can demolish my kind of atheism? If so, then be my guest. But, some a...

I'm not confident that you actually understand my position. In what way do you think that it lacks rigour?

You might be preaching to the choir here. I'm not denying that atheists can do the same thing. However, that doesn't mean that the link is just as str...
