god must be atheist

Shit! Who took my colonoscopy bag? It was here a minute ago.

Is Devans99 what you call a troll? Or is he just an ignorant nincompoop? Not a rhetorical question. He displays characteristics of both.

Ah! the problem again. What IS the problem?

What is the need? What unfulfilled desire eggs us on ot ask ourselves how philosophy arose? And why precisely here?

What IS the problem? Shouldn't we spell out in plain, simple language, what the problem is, before attempting to solve it? And who is abusing the lang...

I don't understand this. I frankly admit it. What's universalism? Nominalism? Conceptualism? Platonism?

New Age has become Old Age. The trend now is neo-pessimism, and religious stupor.

If I were oppressed, I'd behave oppressedly.

So please show me this exception. I have nothing but asked of you for this, and now you lecture me on how one such instance invalidates determinism. B...

Those days are over. A number of us have given you well-reasoned counter arguments. They did not do the trick. Now is the time to waffle, and show our...

Terrapin Station, you can prove me wrong just naming one effect that has no cause, and just naming one cause that has no effect. I did not ask you to ...

I second that opinion. Devans99 has twisted and turned words against all reason, logic, and pure intution. Where he was shown to fail, he said, "well,...

You're right, all dominant cultures made a mark on the then known world.

This is a very neat description of your admiration for Kant. However, your post did not take anything away from my criticism of his finding that pure ...

If they are outside of time, they can't interfere with temporal events. So they can't create anything. If they can create things in temporal world, th...

Why not? There is nothing that happens without a cause. Every cause has an effect. Do you doubt either statements? Show me a cause that has no effect ...

Look Brett, you are starting to irritate me. You did not even with one word indicate that you are just affirming what had been said by your alleged al...

Yes, that is true, but initial state does not have to be a start state. It could be any point in a continuing series of states. If today's state is ta...

I don't find any reason to accept that pure reason must be ONLY language-based. After all, language is a symbolic medium, and it could not exist witho...

I think Brett and Devans99 is the one and the same person. Their dialogue in the beginning was suspciously directed. Everyone needs a person to suppor...

You deny the existence of something that has been forever, ONLY on the premise that everything must have an initial state. But something that has been...

Right there is the crux of your fallacious reasoning. For you everthing starts with god. In another attempt you failed to prove god existed. Now you t...

In addition to what you said, not to argue; also the US has put its cultural footprint on the world. Hollywood movies everywhere. I go on Hungarian we...

It means, "stay real and keep to the core". It may also equally mean (since philosophy is free from the gags and binds of science), philosophically sp...

Perfect definition of philosophy.

Absolutely. America is a culturally diverse country. Its culture(s) have been shaped by immigration, landscape/geography/weather, history, tradition, ...

I know what Hindu culture is, what Russian culture is, what Sino-Japanese culture is. I don't know them in depth but I know they exist and are unique....

I did not know that there existed a woman with the name American Culture. Is she on this website? I searched the membership list, she ain't there. Is ...

Let me introduce a new concept to the problem: it is not only the grains of sand in the heap that makes or breaks a heap, but the shape of the mass of...

Actually, the fallacy is created by you, SSU, when you declare there is no common measure. The grains are the common measure. You just very convenient...

This actually does not apply to this problem. Having no common measure does not apply. Because both the heap and the non-heap comprise grains of sand(...

If it's wrong, it's wrong. It's as wrong as any other wrong. You are giving me another example of wrong, which you think my solution was, without your...

This is not the actual problem. You re-worded them to suit your model. That is not fair.

This is true. I deny the existence of any word that I can't pronounce. And "incommensurability" is one of them.

The "God might have a reason you don't understand" fallacy. Good to use when god is self-contradictory. There is no argument against it; but it itself...

That's the beauty in Calculus. You can describe incredibly complex relationships without using numbers, or many numbers. In fact, the first fundamenta...

Well, to insist we must. Because this follows from the first fundamental law of Calculus (sorta). If there are two points on a function, f(A) and f(B)...

In science, many such paradices are resolved by what they call in scientific writing "working definition". Where a useful, real-life definition is imp...

This is very true. Reasonable people don't like stupidity. Christian dogma, like every religion's dogma, is so contrary to reason, logic, and common s...

"Ask not what America can do for Russia; ask, instead, what Russia can do for America."

I don't want to put words in your mouth. You said you distrust logic, because it flatters you; so you distrust things that make you feel good? Or is i...

So perhaps you don't like flattery? You don't like to hear good things about yourself, said by others?

Thanks for clarifying this. 1. Revenge is not a hopeless path to follow if you are willing to put up with the consequences. 2. S/he will for all the r...

If you want something to rule over reason and logic, then let it. I encourage you to do that.

What is the reason for you to feel this nagging?

If you elevate your own emotions to be supreme, which you just did, you had better obey them. But you don't obey them because you are afraid of the la...

Without specifics even God could not answer your question. You made a legal problem into an ethics question. This is a shift that logic and reason can...

Mathematics is the part of physics where experiments are cheap, and brain power is at its most expensive. Most maths that drain brain-cells can cost u...

There is a reason for that, a deep and satisfying reason. A lot of the time (not most o the time; in a tiny fraction of instances, but it is grave and...

Revenge is a form of justice, not justice is a form of revenge. You get revenge in our western democratic societies by the law finding the guilty part...
