You have been enlightened. But you refuse the light. You MAY BE correct about a first cause, but you may be dead wrong. The "light" is not that you ar...
The thing you are refusing to see, Devans...is that while you have the white ball hitting the black ball and going into the hole using a cue stick hel...
As I've mentioned, my "linguistic skills" have gotten my opinions published in places where it was very difficult to be published. People like you pos...
They all end with..."...this everyone refers to as God." I, for one, refer to it as "we do not know." Aquinas was an intelligent man for his day and r...
The question asked of me...which was the reason for my response, was: Gentlemen (he asked me an others), please sound off. Which of you are “strong at...
In most of your posts to me...and about me...you are being a jerk-off. But here, I agree totally. I, also, am not assuming the universe is a creation....
If anything, I am an agnostic. I prefer not to use the descriptor...but instead state my position as: I do not know if gods exist or not; I see no rea...
I think Gnostic Bishop was attempting to find out how people feel about the prospect of death...and pt it into the "are you happy about the prospect" ...
On your home page, you mention that you are a NYC guy. Most people from NYC know the Frying Pan. It is probably the most famous watering hole in the t...
Either the answer is "YES"...without that qualifier... ...or it is "NO." Which is it? For instance...are there any gods involved in the REALITY...or a...
Allow me a question, because what would be interesting to me is to figure out why YOU would think anyone with a brain would say anything differently. ...
For starters, I will acknowledge it is a guess, Terrapin. Tell ya what...I will acknowledge something else: My guess is that NOBODY on the planet know...
You are being a jerk on this...so...as I said, we can just leave it be. Your notions on the word "atheist" are all wet. Your notions on the word "beli...
Think about that! In any case, since I found legitimate fault with the first sentence...why are you assuming I did not find lots of fault with the res...
The use of "belief" here is as useless as the use of the word "atheism." Neither communicates what really has to be communicated for a reasonable disc...
Your very first sentence in that post is totally wrong. And I have explained that to you. That is why I've asked for the clarification. No problem. We...
I totally understand, Devans. A few, if I may, though. "Then there are things that I have such a high conviction in that they class as a belief even t...
Yes...and almost all houses have a door in front and a door in back. It does not matter if you use the door in front or the door in back...if you are ...
I definitely did not get what you meant...and as I pointed out, some of what you said is questionable and not worded clearly. But, if it is not import...
All of your "calculations" are merely extensions of blind guesses that you refuse to acknowledge as blind guesses, Devans. You are determined to prove...
Thank you. I think I made it quite clear in what I said. This is a point I have discussed hundreds of times over two decades of posting on the Interne...
Not sure what "linguistically pragmatic" is supposed to mean...but my comment was important to what ou wrote. The two statements are different...and e...
We do not know what Manning is charged with yet. Greenwald doesn't either. But WHATEVER it is...it is a charge brought by our government...and Assange...
I hope not, Terrapin. I enjoy our conversations. Here...let me make a modified version of the post that seems to have caused a problem. I do not know ...
If you cannot use the words I use when commenting on my comments...and prefer to make up words of your own... ...you are NOT commenting on what I wrot...
If Glenn Greenwald wants to come here to discuss this with me...he is welcome to come. I am discussing it with the people who are here. Here is what I...
IF you do not mind, Terrapin...so that we are on the same page when we talk...I would prefer you use MY language when addressing what I say. I am sayi...
I'll take this first...and we can cover the other stuff in your post after hashing this out. I am astonished that you do not see the significant diffe...
Oops, just caught this. OF COURSE I DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE NATURE OF REALITY. Have you read what I have been saying? Here is something I wrote: I said, ...
Obviously you are having a bit of trouble with the language used in this kind of discussion. I call your attention to the fact that a) I do not "belie...
You do have trouble quoting what people actually say...and want to substitute your own words for theirs...and then argue against your words. I did NOT...
I said it was my blind guess that YOU do not know either. If you are questioning what I said...please restate your question to reflect what I actually...
I am not interested if gods exist in the natural language of English. We were discussing if gods exist. I do not know if any gods exist or not. Are yo...
So...you are the kind who would resort to misquoting. Okay. Makes it easier to deal with you. I'll let you know when I am through with you. In the mea...
People unwilling to acknowledge they do not know if gods exist or not...or unwilling to acknowledge they cannot determine which is more likely... ...A...
