It wouldn’t be easier to ignore, since they can provide reasons, evidence and arguments. The perception (or delusion if you prefer) of having evidence...
Pattern recognition. Thats a huge part of what the brain does and it’s so dedicated to finding patterns that it will even see patterns that aren’t the...
Doesnt that show that its the people, not Trump? It tracks for Trump to merely be a mouthpiece for the real enemy, the cynical exploiter. Maybe its th...
The camera is recording, not perceiving. When humans perceive something they are not just detecting it with their eyes, there is a whole perceptual ap...
It means that “knowing” is on a spectrum, with absolute certainty at one end and no certainty at all on the other. You are using “to know” as “to be c...
Only if the simulation is perfect and seamless. I dont think perfect is a real thing. A single flaw would be testable, repeatable and therefore detect...
I do not believe you. You wanted to provoke a response so you can go low hanging fruit picking. The idea that you posted that in jest is implausible t...
No, I used words for the mockery. The emoji’s express emotions such as laughter hence the name “emojis” for the little cartoons we use to express emot...
Pulled right outta your ass. I didnt say anything about him averting war in Iran. Nice try though. Im not the guy who cant admit Trump did good things...
:lol: :lol: :lol: Who fucking cares?! What an absurd thing to point out. :lol: :lol: I think your boy is done, as is any semblance of “the misundersto...
…to your Scrabble arsenal. Arsenal as in the weapons you can bring to bear against your opponent. Armoury being where you keep your weapons safe. Jesu...
Then what is the difference between the bible and any other book of old stories? If anyone can interpret any meaning (even opposite to what the words ...
Worse, self righteous. If you were mean spirited to their face, its really nothing more to be mean spirited here when they get banned. Its like not sp...
It seems like the micro managing would require more focus. The initial conditions could be set to whatever the desired result is, so why bother micro ...
Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I think the claims 1-3 are a fair assessment of what Ive offered in the OP. Claim 4 was actually an example for so...
Which countries would that be? Also, there are different kinds of mental unhealth and not all of them result in mass shootings. The prevailing mental ...
Objective value is an oxymoron. All value is subjective, in order for something to have value it has to be valuable to someone (or a value someone pos...
How about something like: “Religions are myths and I ignore them unless someone tries to use them to justify telling me what to do” Easier to write AN...
No, it shows that sometimes “ folk do not make decisions on the basis of rationally maximising their self-interest.” Some other factor CAN intervene. ...
its not just about justification, its about making sense. Your position makes no sense, it is contradictory. Also, you are conflating terms again. Eth...
Well two things, first it depends on the context under which you are asking that question. There has been talk of government mandates etc, but the poi...
I disagree. Anything can be justified with “emotional judgements”, therefore it is a poor metric for justification. Emotional judgements may have thei...
Ok, but if you aren’t sure what a person is how can you know a corpse is still a person? Aren’t you basing a conclusion (a corpse is a person) on some...
That doesnt mean that they are. That is a sentimental illusion people might use for comfort, but does not form an actual basis to claim anything. In w...
Human and person are not interchangeable, are you wanting to say the braindead are human or persons? I would say they obviously human, but not a perso...
I think its pretty obviously due to squeamishness, not logic. Its really the same thing, ghoulish perhaps but not immoral. Its a carcass, an empty she...
Thats why I referred to it as your pet false equivalence. It was clear the issue sticks in your craw. I realize you dont think its false of course but...
The motivation is self defense. When theism wants to teach creationism in schools or prevent gay people from getting married then we must argue. If th...
Atheism has no ideology. Thats why you always have to mention communism and marxism etc along with the atheism. Atheism alone has no edicts, no rules,...
The point you are missing is that an atheist government doesnt do anything based on its atheism. What they do, they do for other reasons. You really n...
My conclusion was based on your responses. Maybe my conclusion is incorrect. You DID rephrase what I said and tried to put words in my mouth. When I a...
It most certainly is relevant. Its what I’m talking about, and what you are commenting about. I just explained in my previous post exactly why its rel...
No. Im saying theists as a group do more bad things based on their theism than atheists do bad things based on their atheism, and that theism can be t...
Where did you look and how hard? :roll: As in the example in bigotry towards gays above, you can reference any instance where someone who is otherwise...
I don’t see it. Atheists and theists are people, people can be good or bad. The same is true for vegans and non-vegans, farmers and not farmers, etc. ...
