god must be atheist

When you show him black-on-white, quoting him, that he is wrong, he will call you an asshole and go on with his own beloved self-created stickhorse. H...

Reason is a tool to describe, and an ability to perceive descriptions of, cause-effect relationships. Logic is a tool in language that describes rules...

Once a guy asked a similar question to the Prime Minister of Canada. (Trudeau the Elder and Wiser.) His reply? "Guy, go ahead. Do it. I won't stop you...

Please look back to the previous page for the answer of your question. It is quoted in the same fucking goddamned post I left that you are questioning...

I asked 1 clever person, who said the following, not verbatim, because I can't remember rote stuff: The positions of the Christian and the of the Athe...

Did you just assert that your position is firmly planted on BULLSHIT? You did say (see quote, please) that the lack of belief is almost certainly BULL...

I actually got very confused reading your script, and never got to the conclusion part. Or I did but I missed it.

Now, that's a doser of a question. We know "you can't step twice in a river with the same foot forward" is philosophy, but "what is our first response...

... Beware thinking as a replacement for thinking.

Heavy question. Only possible TRUE answer would either attract 7 billion responses, or else one or more mind-readers.

here is another proof that you require for the proof of the first thing, and you yourself admit that this proof is also suspect even when it's complet...

Your math is incorrect. Aside from that, my percentages change daily. This quote is so "begging the question" or "begging the answer." I said somethin...

I don't see where your enthusiastic commitment to no possibility of knowledge comes from. What makes you to be so sure of no possibility of certainty?...

I'm 28 percent the former, and 59 percent the latter. The rest of the missing percentages are due to rounding.

It's not a question of buying into anything. It is a question of not buying into some other type of bullshit.

"I think it is true that X is not true." How about that.

You want my primary, or secondary reaction to your OP? The primary is that it makes my hair wants to escape my scalp. The secondary is non-existent (M...

Whoa Nelly. I think you preceded me in creating my ultimate invention: a parser, that takes nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc. etc. at random, an...

I don't think it's possible to prove that there is no creator. Or god, or whatever you want to call it. Proof either way by empirical methods is impos...

You mean... god is an idiot? Idiot may not only mean stupid... it can mean "smart, but mentally ill".

I won't dispute this for three reasons: 1. I don't understand the relativity theory. 2. I don't understand what you are saying. 3. I have serious doub...

I know that Aristotle said this. But is there any punch behind it that drives it home, other than the person's authority who penned this? I mean, why ...

If I were you, I'd go to a psychologist, and get a battery of personality tests done. Then listen to the analysis by the psychologist. I appreciate th...

Do you understand the interpretation of Hume? I do. Do you understand the interpretation of QM? I don't. This is not a trivial difference that makes t...

When you are married, and want to stay that way, then exceptions to this rule are allowed.

Lenin was glorified for his virtues by millions. Then and now. Lenin was hated for his vile, evil acts by milliions. Then and now. Athena: who is the ...

I don't understand quantum mechanics either. I accept its findings, on pure faith. But I do understand and appreciate Hume's thoughts after interpreta...

Okay, thanks. I will leave this problem as unanswered. You have given me much valuable insight. Thanks.

Others read it and interpreted it. Either all others lied, and made up a harmoniously uniform theory that Hume did not, or else they did not lie. I te...

I heard from reliable sources that it was neoconservatism that has been taken too far, and the phenomenon was due to the larger impact of neoconservat...

Not quite. It is attached to material goods and services. A haircut may have gone up in price three times, while the price of a loaf of bread may have...

Thanks, David Mo. Your explanation reveals to me more valuable insight into Nietzsche's thinking. Thank you. I appreciate that he openly (or covertly?...

I find that completely incomprehensible. Velocity disappears, work and energy disappears, capacity and performance disappears, efficiency disappears, ...

This is why I like Hume. His ideas are as fresh in his time, and as true, as today. Hume is my fave thinker. Unfortunately his writings are impossible...

By getting to know God, and psyching out what His next move will consist of. For instance, you want to verify the relationship of measured qualities o...

I think I used to know two people who knew Tim Morgan. His name often came up in conversation, as that of a person who figured things out -- he create...

I would venture 98% of the world will die not of the Covid-19 infections. According to your estimate, Greg, 50% of all people alive today will never d...

Another circus act is trading illicit circus drugs and dancing girls. I have been out of that entertainment venue for too long to have any real knowle...

What I wrote in the previous post is pure psychology. In economic reality, the circus will come back to town the moment it gets a chance. Circuses, mu...

Circuses will be foregone and survival will continue by the population, as long as they realize that it is needed for survival. The moment the word ge...

Thanks for this, it gave me more insight into Nietzsche. The more summarization I read of his thoughts, the more coherent he sounds. He is not a nihil...

It was found to be a sin ad acta. After the fact. He was not sinning when he ated that apple. He was found guilty of eating the apple after eating the...

I am sorry. I did not know you were this incomprehensibly stupid. I apologize. I had some vague memories from our days in Philosophy Now that you were...

I never read Nietzsche, but I read Frantisek Kaffka, and the assessment above applies to him too. This must be a sign of the German Hangdaruberschreck...

That's outdated. Now you first bury the person, then defeat his arguments, then whack him, and finally dig a hole.

Stress is only ONE of the bad things. Not all bad things are stress. This is another concept of set theory; that some of the bad things are stress, an...

I am sorry, but 1. the first of these two positions is also Darwinian, or not mutually exclusinve with the Darwinian concept 2. earlier you said that ...
