:rofl: Yes, humans are known for taking criticism well and admitting to fault. Especially on the internet.

A human is can accurately be characterized as a terrestial, bipedal mammal. If I was born without legs, does that make me no longer a human? E may not...

Feel better now?

That leaves us agreeing to disagree I suppose? At least, it seems to me the conversation is not moving forward much at this point. Truce? Or do you ha...

Oh boy... and we were just starting to get along. Too bad you can't stay nice consistently. Oh boy again... I'm merely explaining why your logic isn't...

Good! I'm glad you're not as irritated as you seemed to be earlier in this thread :)

On what basis do you know that your birthday isn't a mistake? That you weren't switched at birth? We have evidence that people do get switched at birt...

Using your exact logic you would be bound to: "I do not know if the chance that NKBJ is correct and also Frank Apisa's superior in every way which inc...

Ah, but (again, by your logic) you can't know that I'm right. You also can't know that I'm wrong. Absent any way to know either way, you are eternally...

By your own logic you can't "prove" my reasoning is defective.

Ditto :kiss:

If I can do it for one thing proves it's possible to be done and so there's no reason not to apply it to gods. At least, you haven't supplied one asid...

Again, Terrapin and I agree. We're on a roll here! I also think people apply labels to others out of laziness and stubbornness. They don't want to thi...

:rofl:

I guess you would claim you don't know you don't have a third hand then.

I'm just gonna copy and paste what I told Frank about that.

According to? That's a pretty standard definition because it basically says that if your justified belief corresponds with reality then it is true and...

Again, thanks for agreeing that I make sense! You don't really provide an argument or anuthing here except trying to say I'm illogical. But I'll still...

Good!

When you come back: Knowledge is defined as "justified, true belief." I believe there are no gods. It's justified for me to claim there are no gods. A...

:roll: Well, you go off to Princeton and make sure that you watch out for those goblins and chimera and vampires you don't know don't exist on your wa...

I'm saying I'm very much justified in saying it doesn't exist given the lack of evidence that it does.

Insert sun-circling teapot in place of gods and see if you still think it's reasonable.

I said your post wasn't making sense. I didn't attack you as a person. They still have a meteorite and soil samples and the existence of all of life o...

See my above link. If you're gonna start getting snarky and insulting with me, I'm also gonna go on my merry way.

Also, scientists are in the process of finding actual, physical proof of alien life: https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/snc/nasa1.html Where's your God meteori...

Your post doesn't really make sense....but I'll try to wean as much out of it as I can. I assume there is life on other planets because there is plent...

There's hope for us yet! :wink:

In day to day life you continually make choices and live according to that very logic. You don't have any proof that your neighbor/parent/spouse isn't...

I'd assume everyone already has had enough proof of that and then some. If they want me to believe it they do. If they don't, then we'll both go on ou...

I think a lot of atheists are willing to admit that there's no definitive proof that something doesn't exist. But, as famously explained by Russell's ...

Thanks! And I'll keep that in mind :wink:

I actually work in a pretty nice community. There's two main reasons I can tell for more unstable students in mainstream schools: the nation's opioid ...

Looking forward to it! Have fun with whatever you're doing :smile:

Under some, yes. I would at least take seriously enough to forward it to the police/authorities or keep it in a file in case things escalate from ther...

Hmm... okay, we'll call them "possible" (from my perspective in a very loose sense). But are they "plausible"? Does it make sense to have such interpr...

Ah... so there IS an objective framework of possible interpretations. :snicker:

How in the world is it obvious? You do realize that the New Zealand mosque shooter posted an entire manifesto on the internet before actually killing ...

Sooo.... that would mean I cannot read Hamlet's soliloquy (or the standard directions on shampoo bottles, for that matter), and claim that these are a...

Can I say that that "cat" also means "piano"?

And thus are "true" interpretations? They are "true" about the book or bottle or whatever?

Really? So if I say "chair" and you interpret "elephant" that's just your subjective, totally admissible opinion?

Does, in your view, the phrase "the epistemological implications of Kantian metaphysics" mean the same thing as "rinse and repeat"?

I don't understand how this is an example of Boomers (or anyone) taking things too seriously. 1) She didn't know the backstory to these things, so how...

Now you're just contradicting yourself! One or more of these claims can't go together: 1) Art critics who interpret chimp art to be meaningful are fra...

Now, let's not start getting snarky with another. Yes, it's entirely possible for critics to be wrong sometimes. Don't be so quick to underestimate ou...

Oh, and this article was nice too! Just for your reading and maybe listening pleasure: http://blog.apaonline.org/2019/04/03/sacred-and-profane-love-po...

Somewhat relevant to our discussion, Justin Weinberg asked people to contribute links to philosophical visual art. The pieces and the comments on them...

Yeah, it's important to learn not to feed 'em!

To be fair, I think most (actually, probably all if you exclude children and people with Williams syndrome, etc.) exhibit a host of implicit and expli...
