Challenge failed.
May 01, 2019 at 19:20
That's ungrammatical. I think you meant, "No, you haven't". And yes, I have. You must have lost concentration to the extent that you forgot about earl...
May 01, 2019 at 19:18
I challenge you to quote this alleged non sequitur.
May 01, 2019 at 19:09
I've asked you a few times now to make your intention here clear, specifically as to whether or not you intend to be reasonable. You haven't directly ...
May 01, 2019 at 19:06
If you genuinely didn't care about such descriptors, then you wouldn't get so worked up about being called an atheist rather than an agnostic and you ...
May 01, 2019 at 18:55
Ironically, you're committing the fallacy of taking what I said out of context, which means you're being unreasonable. You can see the proper context ...
May 01, 2019 at 18:43
There's no blanket answer to that, as I've already made clear. Why are you asking me poorly considered questions, one at a time, at a snails pace? Do ...
May 01, 2019 at 18:25
Reasonable people need it to accept your belief. I'm not saying that you have to be reasonable. I'm just curious what you're doing here if you don't c...
May 01, 2019 at 18:08
Your response commits a fallacy of relevance. You're a funny troll. An argument against "You wrong"? :lol:
May 01, 2019 at 18:00
I think that it's about time that we looked beyond those who think that they're beyond the God debate. Actions speak louder than words.
May 01, 2019 at 17:55
Sure, whatever you say. You go run along with your magnifying glass to explore how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, then. I'm okay with sta...
May 01, 2019 at 17:49
Only those worth exploring, and don't assume that the basis for such beliefs hasn't already been explored and found to be severely wanting. Possibilit...
May 01, 2019 at 17:29
You really didn't think that one though, did you? The group of people who are atheists is larger than the group of people who are atheists and believe...
May 01, 2019 at 17:22
What I find curious is why you presumably think that any reasonable group of people would give any credence to that? You do realise that there's nothi...
May 01, 2019 at 17:11
Thanks! I will. Can it block out comments like the above?
May 01, 2019 at 17:03
There isn't much that can be expected of him until he's repaired. Well, except repeating his usual jibber-jabber.
May 01, 2019 at 16:21
I see you can name some logical fallacies. That's nice. But there's a bit more to it than that.
May 01, 2019 at 16:11
No, it's not that much of a stretch, actually. Emotions have an obvious role in morality, and those experimental results are of significance in relati...
May 01, 2019 at 16:06
A crime is a crime, and a silly question is a silly question.
May 01, 2019 at 16:03
It's a catch 22: you either accept his proposal or you're not giving it a chance.
May 01, 2019 at 15:59
How about goggles equipped with Boring Vision™? That way, when you browse the forum, you won't see any of those quips you so despise, yet oddly partak...
May 01, 2019 at 15:56
Sarcastic passive-aggression is a quality of elites, and since I'm without a doubt the most sarcastic passive-aggresive son of bitch around here, I mu...
May 01, 2019 at 13:41
:roll:
May 01, 2019 at 13:08
All good so far. Uh, and this is where you fail. You fail because you struggle to think outside of the box. Someone who applied critical thinking skil...
May 01, 2019 at 11:07
I was addressing your comment. If it was off topic, then you only have yourself to blame. Maybe you should speak more clearly and think more orderly. ...
May 01, 2019 at 11:02
Yep, you didn't use the word. I suppose that gets you off the hook then. I haven't got the patience to be dealing with uncharitable nonsense about wor...
May 01, 2019 at 10:33
Yes, and where did that stem from? I guess we'll never know. (Worms, dogs, and critters don't have morals because they're not moral agents because the...
May 01, 2019 at 06:09
Look, if you two think that I was suggesting that worms, dogs, and critters are moral agents then you need try harder. A lot harder.

Yes. I only know his first name, which is Gerald.
May 01, 2019 at 02:54
No, that would've premature. You needed more time to be guided in the right direction. You're welcome. :grin: :up:
May 01, 2019 at 02:37
Well, for me, this is a good point to take a step back and think things more thoroughly, whereas prior to that, the replies to me were such that they ...
May 01, 2019 at 02:34
@"praxis", @"Merkwurdichliebe", at least we're getting somewhere now. You've given me food for thought. Shame it took fifteen pages.
May 01, 2019 at 02:27
I agree, but nor are poor responses in my book. There's always room for improvement. Now, do you understand my objection, or do you need me to explain...
May 01, 2019 at 02:23
You're being one of those people who want a direct answer instead of a more intelligent answer where you have to think about the problem with your que...
May 01, 2019 at 02:15
Yes, I thought of that discussion as well. This is another example of diminished responsibility. The diminished responsibility approach not only more ...
May 01, 2019 at 02:12
:roll: Yeah, thanks for sharing your opinion, but I think I'll do my own readings on the matter.
May 01, 2019 at 02:07
Not at present, no. I would have to look into it. I was making that connection myself, influenced in part by Hume, who made the connection between mor...
May 01, 2019 at 02:03
:lol: Worms and dogs aren't moral agents. Their brains aren't advanced enough.

I would pay a sizeable sum to see a few "elites" confined to a forum of their very own. :wink:
May 01, 2019 at 01:38
Thank you, Tiff. Just don't tell anyone about my compassionate side, as it will fuck up my hardball persona. :victory:
May 01, 2019 at 01:07
Hear, hear. What an appalling and ignorant thing to say. An addict needs help, not condemnation. They've become a victim to their addiction, which wou...
May 01, 2019 at 00:50
It was my way of signalling that you (and praxis) were speaking as though you had forgotten my earlier contributions, and one in particular, top of pa...
May 01, 2019 at 00:29
It means either, depending on circumstance. You didn't ask. That's why it was a problematic question. It depends on a whole bunch of factors to the po...
May 01, 2019 at 00:17
It also means no, except for exceptions.
May 01, 2019 at 00:13
Amnesia is a deficit in memory caused by brain damage or disease. Amnesia can also be caused temporarily by the use of various sedatives and hypnotic ...
April 30, 2019 at 11:33
Obviously by "simple question", I don't mean easily answerable without a problem, which is what you seem to be deliberately suggesting, in spite of my...
April 30, 2019 at 11:15
Yes, you're most likely right, because he doesn't think outside of the box. I know he doesn't like me saying things like that, but it's true. He's a v...
