god must be atheist

That there is only one reality is not a reasoning, but an observation. It can only be false if you can show me that there is more than one reality. Pl...

These are two direct quotes uttered by you. The referencing is easily done. So... you later say that the TERM atheism has been invented by those who f...

I somehow figure you like to gaze into Crystal balls. Crystal eye balls, to be more precise. Crystal's eyes, to be incredibly precise.

Agree with what you wrote. Please consider that third person singular possessive adjective in the neutral gender is written as "its", not "it's". This...

Dear Coben, thanks for clearing this up. I read what is written, and I understand what I read. If someone makes a mistake by writing what they don't m...

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 ...

I think of re-reading some of my old favourites, but can't bring myself to actually read them.
August 15, 2019 at 02:05
I concur. I LOVE reading my own posts (and short stories, essays, etc.) It's equivalent to a person loving his or her own voice in speech.

Hehe. At least you did not call me a c**t. What an improvement from the other philosophy forum I was active on.

@"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...

@"Schopenhauer1", how old are you exactly? Three years of age? Four? That's the age when the "why" questions never stop.
