You don't believe we have minds?? So you don't believe in mental states either, for they are states of mind. Well, your beliefs do not determine what'...
'Can' is the important word there. Yes, he 'can'. That's why there are no necessary truths, just contingent ones. God 'can' do anything. If God exists...
Gregory, your comprehension skills seem to be somewhere between those of a rock and a newt. I think the law of non contradiction is TRUE. I have said ...
But you believe in the mind, presumably? A soul is just an immaterial mind. So the same applies if, implausibly, minds are material. There comes a poi...
Focus on the argument and not the arguer. What I can't stand are shit arguments. Now Banno has a shit argument. Banno thinks that if the law of non co...
Depends if a soul is present in it. Lumps of meat don't deserve moral consideration. Not normally anyway. Souls do. Not clear when a soul enters a fet...
No, if you can't get to sleep if you want to, you lack an ability. If you can get to sleep whenever you want to, you have one. If you can destroy your...
You don't have an argument, do you? I say that it is possible for the law of non contradiction to be false, and all you can do is insist that means I ...
Oh dear Banno. Don't you read English, Banno? I think the law of non-contradiction is true. Remember? If I thought the law of non-contradiction was fa...
Well, I have told you several times that I don't understand them. If you just expressed yourself in english rather than symbols it'd be clearer to us ...
Why do you think that? That is, why do you think he'd make an excellent argument for it? And of course it is missing here - I am not arguing that the ...
No, they make it less clear for I don't know what they mean. YOu might as well express yourself in German. If you genuinely wanted to be clear, you wo...
So, just to be clear: you think it pointless to engage in philosophical discussion with a philosopher who thinks the law of non-contradiction is true,...
Good. But.... Squiggles and squoggles. Let's get rid of them, shall we. So, you have attributed to me the view that I think that for some proposition ...
What? More squiggles and squoggles. You love your latin and your squoggles, don't you? No, I claim that there are no true contradictions in the actual...
Er, no. I am in the actual world claiming that in the actual world no true proposition is also false. Just as I am in the actual world claiming that t...
I don't deny that there is a possible world in which contradictions are true (whatever a 'possible world' is - I have no idea). I claim that in the ac...
If what's at issue is whether the law of non-contradiction is necessary or contingent, then you beg the question if you assume it is a necessary truth...
Oops. You put that word 'necessary' in there. That's question begging. Without - without - assuming that the law of non-contradiction is a necessary t...
Oh shut up. I have addressed the topic of this thread and I am answering questions someone is putting to me. If you don't like it, use that thing call...
Yes, certainly those claims are true. Although I can actually demonstrate that it is not necessarily true. But here I am asserting it. Squiggle squogg...
I see you put what you consider to be the relevant part in bold, as if that will somehow affect things. How? I don't follow you. Don't use symbols, I ...
Where do I assert a contradiction, Banno? Highlight it. So? Get out more. I think it isn't a necessary truth. But I think it is true. You think I thin...
Then why did you make it? Just goading, yes? You're not remotely interested in addressing anything of substance that I have said. I assume because you...
And here we go. You ARE an amateur. That's not an insult, it is accurate. The others were addressed to your argument, not you. Your argument IS shit. ...
Yes, but only once you start trying to abuse me rather than addressing my arguments, then I will abuse you back and abuse you better. I'm almost certa...
Oh, I see that you did attempt to do this above. It failed abysmally. There was more sky-daddying and cod psychology of the sort that suggests you hav...
Stop squawking other people's slogans, farmyard cockerel. Engage with the OP. That is, try and argue something. I argued something. Try and argue back...
Hmm, well I agree that the belief that an omniscient being can and will have some false beliefs is justified and thus an item of knowledge. And I agre...
That's just bad psychology. If someone expends a lot of effort defending a view it is more likely due to the fact they sincerely think it worth defend...
You possess knowledge do you? I don't think you do. I think there's ample evidence from the content of your posts here that your wisdom comes from the...
Yes. It is just an ad hominem point anyway. It doesn't matter how any particular theist arrives at their belief, what matters is whether it is true an...
You say that lacking knowledge of a proposition's truth is evidence of lack of omniscience. But that's question begging because whether it constitutes...
You sound like you're snorting and frothing at the mouth. And all this status talk and henpecking anxiety - it all sounds very farmyardy. I take it th...
And you seem to think you have important information to give and that I have misunderstood something. I see no evidence in support of either claim. I ...
As ever, you fail to focus on the relevant issue. I considerately answered your off-topic questions, and told you - several times now - that they were...
Oh, I see you've mentioned me. And gotten it all wrong, as ever. Do move aside, amateur! First, let's crucify your opening argument: Well, the conclus...
This is really off topic, as I've already explained that my case does not depend upon identifying God with Reason. God is by definition able to do any...
Finished polishing your halo? And don't thank me for finding the gaping rents in everything you've said and thereby helping you to fix them. Now I thi...
And do you have reason to believe that, or no reason to believe it? Plus truth itself seems essentially to involve Reason. I don't think you begin to ...
I will deal with you noobs above shortly when I am at my computer and not stabbing away at a phone. But it has occurred to me that there are some posi...
Anything philosophical to contribute or just cod psychology? Engage with the OP. Rest assured that I will be delighted if someone raises a good object...
Clement? You think reading Clement Freud will help me uncover my motives in drawing attention to your double digit IQ? I don't think so. It might help...
