Thats fair. I dont take many things seriously, life is a tragic comedy. Anyway, you can not be taking me seriously and still be honest. You aren’t bei...

Exactly as I said: Exactly as I said: This is a philosophy forum is on the internet, and you know that but pretended that you didnt so you could make ...

You’re a self declared asshole who wears his inconsistency like a badge of honour, who cares what you think of anyone? Or anything? You excluded your ...

Lol, you did. Repeat this mantra “Bartricks believes in squared circles”.

Lol, it was a good call. The language barrier helped disguise the lack of philosophical value I think. Even ignoring the grammar and structure the ide...

The point I was trying to make is that even if you haven’t gone through a logical process to arrive at atheism logic is still present in the sense tha...

I wouldn't say ignorance is a “position” you have. To me “position” implies a transition from ignorance perhaps, but it doesnt seem like “I don’t know...

You would still be applying logic to arrive at your position of non-belief right? It is logical to withhold belief in the absence of evidence. I don’t...

Ya was very disappointed in you myself. He’s well fed and he won’t go away if people keep feeding him.

Its not one particular god an atheist for which they lack belief, its all of them. Not Zeus, not Odin, not Ra, not Yaweh…none of them. Not mother natu...

Lol, we are having way too much fun at his expense. Its not mean if its accurate…right?

:lol: So accurate.

Because atheists are people and most people can’t really justify their positions. Well stated post btw.

Well you gave him the rope I suppose.

I think there were parameters about his role we aren’t privy to, limiting his responses. The interesting part to me is how people like Amen cannot rec...

Its pretty bizzare that he could conclude “we’ve” conceded to an even score based on whats in that thread. Private messages maybe? Originally he said ...

You don’t have to worry about flaming people, the mods will give you a warning about any problematic behaviour except in the most egregious cases. Alm...

Just a thought experiment, to each their own if you do not enjoy them. The purpose of the question was to get a sense of peoples opinion on what extre...

I made no assertion of it being helpful. So you would say that if either or got the magic button they would genocide the other side? They would both k...

Ok, looks like its done for. Short and worthless to all us spectators. So lets take a poll, maybe a mod could make one in the OP of this thread. Who w...

Lets say I have a magic button. Its a kill button. When the button is pushed whoever I want dead, dies. Its the perfect weapon, there is no defence ag...

Sadly I suspect Canada is already lost. States too. We are only now seeing some more drastic changes but China has seeded the world economy for thier ...

End of the debate due to the same old shit you n 5…4…3…2…

They usually catch return bannees. How is a mystery but Ive seen it.

Lol, I never take gambling advise from anyone so all good.

No its not (dogma), you are taking what Im saying and reframing it to these “typical” atheist responses and tilting at windmills and strawmen. Lol, I ...

Ah, I gotchya now. Slow on the uptake sometimes.

Ya see you aren’t acting in good faith here. I made a number of points that you havn’t addressed, you have not been engaging with what Im saying. I po...

I explicitly did not make that assumption. I said repeatable patterns of reliability. Thats true, reason has that and that reliability can be tested i...

Id be willing to place bets that it derails lol We have a historical pattern of it, why would this be any different?

What does that mean? You don’t think there is a problem?

If a person is using books and personal experiences to draw conclusions they are still using reason to do that. You made a false equivalence here, to ...

Reason is not an authority, it is a tool one uses when one wants to make sense. Regardless, how one comes to be an atheist isnt definitive of atheism....

Atheism references no authority, you are making that up. Atheism IS a lack of belief, and thats all it is. Whatever else an atheist might believe abou...

I didnt say it holds the place of good reason. I said its a placeholder word for the good reason the person just doesn’t have. Meaning, they do not ha...

Love isnt that analogous, love can be investigated and explained. Emotions are intangible sure but that doesnt mean they are as mysterious as you woul...

I can’t tell which one your disdain is for lol Probably a good thing.

This is why a moderator is necessary. To keep those two things from derailing the discussion like every other time. Without one we are into the same o...

A troll of the axe grinding variety I suspect.

I believe his main point is that the atheists lacks the necessary sense/understanding to see the truth of gods existence like a theist does. Also some...

He got banned?

Its a depressing trait of the human condition.

Not everything is as it seems, but thank you.

Again, the same could be said of any discovery anyone makes. They are finding something no one else did, thats the nature of a discovery not philosoph...

Im not sure what criteria you are using in that assessment but cannot agree. That simply hasnt been my experience.

Arrogant fools are abundant whatever kind of person you are talking about.

Its both me AND the philosophy. :wink: If my comment seemed fair to you then maybe your problem is less with philosophy and more with the philosophers...

Well I wouldn’t say there is one philosopher who gets it all right, but from Decartes to Harris I’ve learned not just things which I think are true bu...

The truth of something requires no agreement. Whether or not someone agrees something is true has no bearing on whether or not its actually true. If y...

If the truth is reliable and valid then one should accept it. I don’t know anyone who uses doubt as a foundation. Doubt is more of a tool in philosoph...
