Again I concur wholeheartedly. I just had re-read my favourites so many times in the past, that I expect no new nuances to crop their heads. Which is ...
because probabilities is a human-only oriented knowledge prediction. A mind could potentially foreknow or precognize all events in the future, but a h...
Me? Me no read. Can't. Won't. But for some reason I have a profound understanding of the lanuage and beyond. I am a published author, with two short s...
Coben: "I didn't say that anti-religious people are toxic to me" yes, you did say it by agreeing with Wayfarer, who stated this as a counter-claim to ...
Why would i need to understand what the concepts are behind these expressions? You don't understand a simple sentence. I wrote "Facts and reason suppo...
He was at the same time advocating to deny the truth claimed by the bible. If one or more claims in a certain set of claims, which set comprises the t...
Socrates did not fear gods. He just realized the god-concept is an unnecessary concept. Most atheists I know don't fear god. If you believe something ...
I have no opinion on you. I just feel like all of a sudden I am the centre of attention, and since my posts were not responded to, IN A WAY I UNDERSTA...
It looks like I just stepped into a nest of venomous religionist snakes. Tactic: if you don't have a clear argument that makes sense, then use saliva,...

I always have thought that metaphysics itself was not a meaningful term, but a chapter heading that followed Physics in a book written by Aristotle. S...
@"Wayfarer" and @"Coben", you just proved my point. The fact is, that facts and reason support anti-religionism. You can't say "this applies to anti-r...
Arguing with religious fanatics, I've noticed it on several philosophical websites, is like drinking a strong poison and not dying from it. The best i...
I can foresee already the posts about me after I get banned. "He was like God to me." "The most intelligent, charming person who has ever graced the p...
I got it already in the mail. It's a chain-letter bomb. You get one letter bomb, and you're supposed to send it to ten different people. If you don't,...

I like this argument, Noah. This makes much more sense than the name-calling up to now. Let's see what I can do with it. To affirm or to deny somethin...
We're getting to say the same thing. I've been saying all along that belief does not need evidence; Janus bases his arguments that need beleif to have...
Noah, this is not my statement. I quoted Janus's statement, paraphrased. You are getting angry and it is influencing your judgement. Please take a dee...
Your lack of comprehension of the language is brilliantly displayed here. "Not not believeing is not believing." This is your statement. I rest my cas...
