Ok, I understand that foundational value of assuming the reliability of of certain laws of physics. Like axioms but so far infallibly reliable. Does s...
I wish I could properly respond but I’ve gotten the distinct impression you address me only to fuck with me. You’ll eject, and ignore me as it suits y...
I’m not sure that’s the case...”everywhere in the universe”? ”will be the same forever”? Aren’t both of those disproven by quantum mechanics? How does...
Your example is about the nature of the subject, that’s not what cogito ergo some says anything about. It concludes only that there is a subject. A dr...
My point is that it would take a true belief in god in order to sacrifice your life for god. Let’s not get lost in the weeds it should be clear the ex...
Well I can respect that your on a spiritual journey of some kind, but I’ve never found any such beliefs to be convincing of their truth. Ups seem to b...
Not sure you really answered my question there, but I understand what you are getting at. What about modern religions? Scientology is newer than Chris...
You’ve never heard of religious martyrs? Suicide bombers? You think these people don’t really believe in god and rewards of gods afterlife? Why do you...
If you meet someone who believes Apollo pulls the sun across the sky you don’t think of that belief as foolish? Have you ever heard the expression to ...
I’m having trouble with what exactly you are asking...are you basically asking if there is a commonality between all the different definitions of real...
Lol Ya, and? Do you mean a baseless assertion? I provided argument with my assertions, none of which you addressed. I don’t‘ think so, I think you fai...
Sure, there is history and the churches cherry picking to consider but none of that makes the stories any less man made. Why do we have to consider it...
It’s not either or, it’s both. As I said, you experience emotions of course but your emotions are not what you are relying on when you fix your car. R...
Of course it was made up...the bible is a man made text. Why would it be any different than other mythology? Zeus, Odin, Ra...these aren’t made up? Ye...
Religion can at times be internally consistent which creates the illusion of rationality, but outside the strict, self serving parameters of religious...
Not necessarily irrational no...at least no more irrational than anyone else. I don’t think science inoculates a person against being duped by emotion...
Nothing really gets explained religiously, all of its answers are made up. Sure religion claims to have answers but there is no substance to the claim...
Yes, dishonest argumentation knows no group boundaries Im afraid. It’s the nature of the internet too...it’s pretty easy to wiki or google an argument...
That doesn’t answer my question. How are you able to tell the difference between philosophy as a cause of those things (anger and frustration to insan...
How did you determine philosophy of any kind leads to suicide? How have you determined that any philosophy leads to spiralling out of control? No, bec...
Religion is mankind’s first attempt to explain the world around them, born of fear of the unknown. Fear of death is at the foundation of religion and ...
A red herring I think. These religions that make such criticisms simply fail to recognize that fear of punishment and hope of reward are the basis for...
Or they care more about a people with money than those without. The crack epidemic was in poor black neighbourhoods, and suburbs are generally doing m...
I don’t know why this question has gotten 13 pages of mileage. Asking if atheists hope there is no god is like asking if atheists like vanilla ice cre...
Well that’s another topic but caring doesn’t seem the sort of thing you need a good argument for. You either care or you don’t, and whether or not you...
Right, and if the survival of humanity isn’t important to your moral philosophy then my argument wouldn’t apply. I’m not knocking that perspective I’m...
Sure, if you don’t care about the survival of humanity then science isn’t bad according to my argument. Also, just because total destruction will happ...
Same way we do with all future risk assessment. In this case we know that science is the tasty poison that will eventually kill us. So we weigh the be...
Science is not good. Science and technology advance much faster than does our process of evolution. (Biologically and sociologically) Inevitably scien...
Yes, thank you. I meant a trans woman. Not sure, there are complications either way, that’s why I thought an open league of some kind might work. I’ve...
I can’t see where anyone said that, or made that argument. Is lack of nuance bigotry? Again, doesn’t intention matter? It doesn’t seem like it’s that ...
Ok, so what does it mean to say that? If someone is trying to make a distinction between biological women and trans men/women it can be semantically c...
Well there are already well watched sports that feature mediocre athletes (compared to the top ones) right? Different divisions get different viewersh...
