Attitude and soundness of reason are not interchangeable, neither is bias interchangeable with either of them. Which is it, do you think I'm biased, o...

I'm referring to the OP's model and wording.

If the universe is infinite, then you've never existed in any of an infinite number of realities while simultaneously existing in all of them. You've ...

You haven't yet provided a reasonable foundation for claiming that I'm biased. My suggestion that unbiased dialogue is intellectual and biased dialogu...

I just told you that "real intellect" is an exercise in unbiased thought, and you retort that I'm biased and therefore unworthy. My comments have noth...

I think that "real intellect" is independent from the subjective nonsense that "philosophers" tend to haplessly toss into their pedantic sermons.

It's difficult to address this without specific and reliable statistics. I think that often when people say that a religion is growing and another rel...

The two definitions are completely different. Metaphysics is lazy musing and science is active seeking. This second definition admittedly abandons all...

Wikipedia's definition of metaphysics is inaccurate. Also, you can't determine either of those two things by sitting around thinking about them "in an...

It isn't an argument, it's confusion. I'll repeat that I didn't ignore your additional comments, I disregarded them, there's a difference. You said th...

When you claimed that the man's writing was "proof", you resigned that any further commentary is irrelevant. I haven't ignored it, I just didn't addre...

It isn't a deep argument at all. It's quite shallow. He assumes the "first mover" by writing on behalf of a church and education system that will jail...

I just explained to you how the "proof" you presented argues against itself so no one has to. It's not hard, you just have to read it. It's self-contr...

Please stop calling things proof, it's annoying. Seriously, by these standards I could find proof on the internet that toasters are supreme beings and...

The foundation, or "proof" as you call it, of God's existence was not determined by a Catholic propagandist from the 1200's. Today's grade-school chil...

I'm done here, you can have the thread, it's your personal property.

Please don't pretend you're adding to a conversation. All you're doing is trying to shut down feedback you don't want to hear and talking about ants a...

I'm not talking solely about "the dangers of religion". I'm talking about inefficiency, and I'm talking about supernatural justification, I'm talking ...

What are you talking about, being a troll? You're off topic and brushing my commentary aside without even considering it. It's not off topic. Try to b...

I'm not talking only about violence, and it's not the main focus of my comment, just a portion. It's a relevant portion because belief in the supernat...

I'm on topic, and I didn't refer to a specific historical instance. Maybe you could elaborate on that, I'm not sure what you feel is inaccurate.

Explain why the universe can't have been an incidental result of some greater process and so on and so on until the explanation is vast enough that hu...

Every argument for the existence of the supernatural begins with an assumption that it exists. The argument fails before it reaches an explanation.

Real solid rebuttal.

This is the problem with every "philosophical" assertion pertaining to the supernatural. There is, without exception, a prerequisite assumption follow...

I didn't say "things can't be changed".

You're presenting an absurd argument from authority based on a notion you've constructed out of thin air that being a parent equates to higher knowled...

"Blabbing" implies incoherence or idleness or superfluity or that what a person is saying doesn't qualify as worthwhile. Your lack of understanding do...

Then why do so many mothers across species abandon their injured offspring to die, and why do so many mothers across species attempt to injure or othe...

Liberty is an illusionary condition instilled via indoctrination. All humans have "ego", not all humans have "liberty".

What does being a mother have to do with this? I'm addressing the topic at hand and the resulting dialogue within the thread. Claiming someone is "bla...

You don't appear to understand metaphor or colloquialism, so let me explain. I didn't mean that all humans are convinced that the universe literally c...

There may be psychiatrists who could prescribe something to make his "preaching" go away.

I didn't come close to assuming or implying that.

So does the propagation of an idea.

That's correct, the rest of the world is "determined" by its own narcissism.

Which doesn't matter because it only illustrates my point, but in what way?

You highlighted a small portion of my comment and stated that you don't think it's true. You took it out of context, so now that you've replied I'm no...

See, this is what I'm saying in the other thread, some of your comments are entertaining.

I'm differentiating between obvious and overt because one has intent and one doesn't. Honestly I don't know how to highlight quotes yet, I'm fairly ne...

Well there you have it. You don't even have to give it any consideration, it's not you though it may be others, specifically the person who so audacio...
