By a proponent of the problem of evil I mean someone who thinks that the evils of the world imply God's non-existence. So, they are those who argue th...
October 29, 2022 at 22:58
Yes, another fantastically prejudicial judgement by Mickie/Xtrix. This argument: 1. Either ensure that the sensible world does not visit horrendous ev...
October 28, 2022 at 00:49
Thanks, appreciated. It won't do anything, of course. Clearly they have decided that any argument for antinatalism is - must be - an argument that ass...
October 27, 2022 at 23:28
I believe that is false. There is clearly no rational basis for merging my discussion with this one. My argument had no premise that asserted that lif...
October 27, 2022 at 23:17
How the blood hell is this anything to do with 'life sucks'? Clearly Mickie (a.k.a Xtrix) - who moved this here - thinks that any argument for antinat...
October 27, 2022 at 01:57
Perhaps someone might object that in order for this principle - Either ensure that the sensible world is such that it will not visit horrendous evils ...
October 26, 2022 at 03:31
That's irrelevant. All that is relevant here is whether this principle is true: 1. Either ensure that the sensible world is such that it will not visi...

This thread is about this argument: 1. Either ensure that the sensible world is such that it will not visit horrendous evils on any innocents that you...
October 26, 2022 at 01:24
Yes, but that's irrelevant to the case I am making. For I am not trying to shed light on what an omnipotent person is capable of doing. Rather, I am t...

Show your working. Identify the false premise above and explain its falsity. Christ. You know you would have shown your working if you could. Which on...
October 25, 2022 at 04:53
That's not an answer to the question. I understand you're scared. The nasty reasoning man has come to town, so now the squiggle squoggle salesman bett...
October 25, 2022 at 04:23
Just answer the question.
October 25, 2022 at 03:52
No they aren't. You just think they are. That's not the same. Take the argument in the OP. What's poor about it? For instance, do you think this is va...
October 25, 2022 at 03:34
Yes there is. I've shown how those who think there's a problem of evil should accept that it is wrong to procreate. That's extraordinarily interesting...
October 25, 2022 at 03:31
Well that wasn't very witty now was it. Up your game.
October 25, 2022 at 01:48
But I'm clever and witty.
October 25, 2022 at 01:41
Well, that's not nice either. Odd. Did your advice to be nice only apply to me and not you?
October 25, 2022 at 01:37
But that's not nice, is it? I've been modelling myself on you! You called my OP "claptrap" among other things.
October 25, 2022 at 01:29
I am not responsible for the fact that most people here can't follow an argument or can't tell what is or isn't relevant. No, you did what I said you ...
October 25, 2022 at 01:07
You didn't know what a disjunctive syllogism was until I mentioned it, yes? You looked it up and then wrote down a line you found on the internet and ...
October 25, 2022 at 00:37
I don't know what a noun is or an adjective. But what are you on about?
October 25, 2022 at 00:31
It make good laughings in any accent. It is irrelevant to the argument. I never said it wasn't. You are clearly reasoning that if you say something ir...
October 25, 2022 at 00:29
Oh dear oh dear. You're really not very good at this at all, are you? Ensure the world does not visit horrendous evils on people or do not introduce p...
October 24, 2022 at 23:03
Would you like me to tell you what a disjunctive syllogism is? It is an argument that has this form: 1. P or Q 2. Not P 3. Therefore Q Now see if you ...
October 24, 2022 at 22:45
Are you still saying stuff?
October 24, 2022 at 22:41
Ah, you didn't know. What a surprise.
October 24, 2022 at 21:43
What is a disjunctive syllogism? You have 30 seconds.
October 24, 2022 at 21:37
Start another thread in which, in your OP, you just make some random assertions (lots of the threads here are like that). Then anyone who wants to dis...
October 24, 2022 at 21:34
that's not an argument. Make an argument.
October 24, 2022 at 21:32
Try and stick to the topic. Do you have the ability to prevent all of the horrendous evils that are occurring in the world? Yes or no? It's no, right?...
October 24, 2022 at 21:32
Make an argument. And did you understand the point about the problem of evil? Did you understand that if you can show that it is impossible for an omn...
October 24, 2022 at 21:29
You lack the ability to change how the sensible world operates. For instance, you lack the ability to prevent the horrendous evils that are occurring ...
October 24, 2022 at 21:29
That's a blurt. That's not an argument. It's just you saying something. Note too that the proponent of the problem of evil thinks that what is impossi...
October 24, 2022 at 21:26
Isolate a claim I made in the OP and say why it is false. If you can't do that - if you can't actually address anything I have said, but can only blur...
October 24, 2022 at 21:18
Again, how the F does that engage with the OP? When someone creates a thread, there is an obligation on those who contribute to it to address the OP. ...
October 24, 2022 at 21:16
You are just saying things. You are not providing evidence that the argument is 'illogical'. You are just saying it is. Which is what you would say ab...
October 24, 2022 at 21:06
There's an argument in the OP. It shows how the problem of evil implies antinatalism. Now, you are psychologically incapable of accepting that as you ...
October 24, 2022 at 20:35
The real problem here is not that he has made up a word, but that he doesn't know an argument from his elbow and has presented nothing remotely resemb...
October 24, 2022 at 20:27
The problem of evil implies the immorality of procreation. See op for details.
October 24, 2022 at 20:01
I did not include omnibenevolence simply because the question was about how this person ought to behave. But I could have included it, it just would h...
October 24, 2022 at 20:00
Squiggle squoggles. That's what I have no time for. Ps and Qs are fine.
October 24, 2022 at 05:12
What are you on about? No I didn't.
October 24, 2022 at 05:08
How the bloody hell does that even begin to be an argument? No wonder you find my arguments confusing if you think that is one! It's just a series of ...
October 24, 2022 at 04:44
Brilliant. I am good at comedy. Here is joke. Why chicken cross road? Tell me! You not know? I tell you. It is because road cross chicken's father and...
October 24, 2022 at 04:16
No, I said imagine a sensible world exactly like this one. Minds are not sensible objects. Anyway, as you'd know if you were able to recognize what is...
October 24, 2022 at 03:39
Correct. Incorrect. The problem of evil is taken to be the most powerful objection to theism. So if it implies that procreation is wrong, that's extre...
October 24, 2022 at 03:34
How well does it pay? A chicken a week? Two? Two chickens, three curse-liftings, a bag of shells and a hat that looks like a teacosey made out of a he...
October 24, 2022 at 00:55
I think we need to add English to the courses you'd fail.
October 24, 2022 at 00:25
You can't answer a question with a question. Jeez. You're fired.
October 24, 2022 at 00:23
Er, what? I am arguing that we ought not procreate. And I am showing how that is implied by the fact that an omnipotent, omniscient person who does no...
