- Well here's a good rule of thumb: if the article you are reading says hardly anything at all about the reasons why some decision is being made, then...

Here's a fun story from Dr. Joshua Hochschild, who you are so fond of: Wayfarer, it looks like you're being brainwashed by the media. I would suggest ...

Ok, Wayfarer. You read an article from WaPo and now you're passing judgment regarding Rubio's resignation? From Australia? :roll: Why do you think you...

More from Rubio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQYd2J3cOps

This is precisely the sort of cynicism that is problematic, and which leads to you being written off as an unserious poster. You take this passage fro...

For Catholics neither are purely revealed truths, even though both can be (and have been) revealed (although one could argue with me on whether Jesus'...

- I spoke to the question at some length , namely to the dispute between Roark and Klima on the proper conclusion of the proof. Beyond that, what I sa...

But Einstein believed in non-Euclidean geometries, so the premise fails. No one is objecting to Einstein talking about something he believes in, but a...

Yes, you're lazy. We know. It's written all over.

And that's why it didn't make any sense to talk about them. Are you saying that you believe FTI1? Because again, if not and no one else believes it, t...

A great deal of provision is made for disagreements. One disagrees with a proof by showing a premise false or an inference invalid. When one has neith...

Right. What use is there in asking people to consider a proposition that no one believes, not even oneself? It seems like putting something on the foo...

- Sure, but a different conclusion requires a different argument. There is no single argument that proves both FTI2 and FTI3, considered as propositio...

That's fair. The point for me is that it is one theory among many, which must be expected to compete with other theories without any special privilege...

Another failure to read, for your own source testifies against you:

Many others point out the same sorts of problems:

(So Banno didn't read the paper. A lesson we have learned too many times by now. What drives him is his fanatical anti-religious creed.) Again:

Fun indeed. You derail all the threads you participate in to be about you, because you can't engage OPs and topics on their own terms. This has been g...

To give another example, namely the long tangent regarding Kripke: 1. Banno claims that Kripke is being misrepresented 2. Banno is proven wrong, at le...

A troll trolling. The troll's emotional needs require excising the forum of any talk of God, and his tools are misrepresentation and slurs. Argument a...

I'm glad we've all agreed that "sky daddy" is a slur, but the point here is that sophistical dismissals and emotional mis-readings are not a great loo...

Yes, and I am heartened to know that even someone who speaks Spanish as their first language sees this. Of course, Banno's "Google AI" is not a source...

Banno has shown with each of his posts that he simply lacks any real skills of reading comprehension. All of his posts are full of weird shit that doe...

Of course you did. Because it's a slur. And again to my original point: you resort to that sort of thing because you're too dumb to square off with ra...

:up: Sure, particularly if you're speaking of a religion that uses that phrase.

- So you agree it's pejorative, you agree it's insulting. Now go read the definition of slur.

- I don't know, maybe, "Our Father, who art in Heaven"? Do you literally believe the words coming out of your mouth when you claim that "sky daddy" is...

- double post - server stutter -

- The idea that "sky daddy" is not a slur is too dumb for me to argue with. I just don't know what to say at this point. And yes, of course atheists a...

No, it's a slur. Get real, Moliere. :roll:

- It strikes me as accurate. A handful of 20th century logicians think up a very new (and as it turns out, very bad) way of approaching existence, and...

That sort of "logical imperialist sophistry" is pretty common here on TPF, as the thread on Anselm's proof shows.

Or does the problem occur when atheist trolls can't manage to refute an argument, so anyone who uses it is anathema? They resort to slurs like "sky da...

I don't see why the "digital medium" gives every system of values a populist mode of expression. For example, when the incumbent uses that same digita...

Many have been especially interested in the proof itself and section 2. Such people may be interested in another paper of Klima's where he spends much...

- Okay, thanks kazan.

- :up:

- I agree that Musk does not have the authority to abolish USAID, but the video from Rubio makes it fairly clear that USAID has not been abolished. An...

- Well, you're always welcome to produce some arguments or some sources. It would be especially helpful if you produced support for your views that ap...

There you go, and you've unwittingly admitted that Trump has a mandate. :up: The point here is that trimming government agencies is not an undemocrati...

So what? Is there some reason you think Rubio cannot serve as both? Or are you concerned about the rumor that USAID will be merged? Note that USAID is...

- That's good to hear, jgill. :up: My father has a similar story with cancer and Medicare.

Okay, fair enough. Except that's not true at all. The President appoints the administrator of USAID (and other executive agencies). The Senate approve...

I'm sort of surprised to see Australians with a bookmark in the New York Times expressing such strong opinions on U.S. politics. If I read a single ne...

One of Trump's campaign promises was to address the federal debt. Musk and others are the ones he put on that job. There is no such thing as an electe...

"Unelected bureaucrat is appointed by President to cut costs associated with bureaucratic bloat." As has been pointed out, Musk is the democratic bure...

It is logically possible, but it doesn't surprise me that no one goes around arguing that Jesus was God even though he never claimed to be God. Basica...

- When you say "arguments" you presumably mean formal arguments, and on that reading the answer is that historical arguments are more difficult to for...

Let me refine the argument I gave: If a logical form need not be isolated, then it "behaves in precisely the same manner" (and therefore does not have...

It is merely a subset of the truth table where p!=q. The truth values are no different. Or in other words, at no point would someone become alarmed up...
