Well, S replied. Not a strong atheist. So that eliminates his disagreement on the basis of his strong atheism. So, is he now in the category with me a...

I tagged the people in this thread, but there are more people who disagree with you on the same things as we do from other threads since you’ve uses t...

So I do not understand your argument, so that's why I disagree and everyone else is disagreeing because their strong atheism is being threatened? Is t...

I disagree with your “math” and views on probability (specifically the way you conjure probability out of thin air, and do not understand the logic yo...

Ok, well Im not a strong atheist and I have no problems with where your views lead. So what is your explanation for me? Why do you think I disagree wi...

Why do you think so many people reject your “logic” and ideas about probability? You are basically standing alone, doubling down and repeating the sam...

Religion poisons everything. What can ya do?

I think he is trying to be, and thinks he is but has gone so far down the wrong road he cant see the turn-off (where he went wrong) anymore. The state...

Wow. You continue to stagger me. It should happen much less if we are better, and since it in-fact happens much less, is less culturally acceptable th...

Behind who?

Tilting at windmills. You continue to argue against a strawman that I’ve already pointed out to you yet here you are. You’re the one framing this thro...

Well first, I wasn't talking about laws in these countries. I specifically said culture. Second, there no need to pick a country, as Im not talking ab...

No, its not a double standard. The standards are different between the two cultures. One is much worse on the gay issue. Clearly, much, much worse. It...

You address a bigger problem by talking about a different, smaller problem. Thats not the pot and the kettle. False equivalence.

Just how far gone are you? You cannot see that throwing people from buildings IS FAR worse than a beating, and the rarity of the occurrence (or any ac...

Very well said sir. I believe I agree 100%.

:lol:

Well then you arent really saying anything interesting. They are weak on the god issue and you are strong on the god issue, or they are “cowardly, fra...

Islam is under attack world wide? By who, other than themselves? Everyone is under attack by somebody, presumably you are saying Islam is under attack...

You might be weaker or stronger in other ways, and vice versa. Why does it have to be a broad stroke of “they are weak, I am strong”?

So your really just talking about weakness/strength concerning a few specific traits, the god belief traits such as fear of death? Is it that they are...

So there are no people who believe in god that are brave, resilient and self - sufficient?

What do you have in mind in how you are using “weak” and “strong”? What attributes define those words?

We just addressed this, you haven't answered the question. Im beginning to think you cannot. Is that the case?

...its an axiom...an axiom is not an argument. Its actually the complete absence of argument. An axiom is not evidence either. So, do you have an actu...

That is not evidence. Thats not even an argument. Can you answer the question?

Im not claiming something can start by itself, I do not know. You DO know, so tell me the answer. How do you know that simething cannot? What evidence...

Tell me why things cannot start by themselves.

Prove that. Tell me why things cannot start by themselves. How do you know that? What evidence allows you to draw that conclusion?

Indeed!

Do unicorns exist? Cuz I know what those are. Please spare me any “unicorns exist in our minds” silliness, unless you are a fool you know very well th...

Well Im always open to better uses of a word if it serves better. I guess we disagree that the way you are defining philosophy is the standard way. It...

Ok, so what is the benifit of using the term philosophy in such broad terms? Whats the usefulness of doing so if you have to operate within catagorica...

Science is more than just theory though, its physical experimentation. Even if the scientific method is philosophy in the way you describe that doesnt...

Well those two things require logic and analysis, but I take your point. It seems a strange way to phrase it to me. Isnt science based on philosophy, ...

Lol, fair enough. I should have been more specific. So: isnt all things involving thinking philosophy then? If that is so, why are you specifying scie...

Are naturalism and uniformity of nature the domain of philosophy? Isnt anything philosophy then?

In what way? Obviously you don’t mean the two are synonymous, but Im not sure what else you could mean.

Lol, that thought had occured to me. I think we are done anyway.

Lol. Well at a certain point it becomes impossible not to mock the person. I try to wait until Im pretty much past discussing before going off on some...

Ya, I agree. Dogmatic folks tend to defend other dogmatic folks so it reinforces their own dogmatism. Everyones beliefs get equal merit so none of the...

Well to be honest Im not really behind either side of that debate. Ive been following along, I just don’t think of morality in either terms. That havi...

Its astonishing! The resistance you get for asking simple qualifying questions. I guess I get it, answering pesky questions like “what are you talking...

I already DID stop posting! :lol: YOU are the one that keeps talking to ME! Go back to your circle jerk you thoughtless fool, your authoritarian need ...

You might find it helpful to think before posting, and take the time to read and consider the responses you get. As I just explained, I exited the dis...

If I choose not to “enjoy a general discussion” that doesnt mean I lack understanding about any aspect of the discussion. This is just you being conde...

Not really. A new discovery has a place its found or it has something about it...a trait, a relation to something else...it will have something that d...

Why did you include me in that? Did I say something about it and forget? Anyway, there is a simple point in amongst the run on string of thinly veiled...

Had to look that one up lol “hebephrenic“. Good to know.

Lol, I see what you did there. The reason why im asking HIM to clarify, is because its not obvious it IS rhetoric considering the exchanges Ive seen b...
