Special pleading: in which the speaker deliberately ignores aspects that are unfavourable to their point of view. There was never* a theist who claime...
The concern I have is apathy. It seems not to matter to so many folk. Or it's excused with "the other side is just as bad". We can, and have, done so ...
...and that's were morality enters the discussion, since we would then be considering what one ought to believe and how one ought to act. When faith i...
I wonder if you have noticed that even if it is fear mongering being used to grab political power, that does not render it false. It's that logic thin...
I don't agree. It arrises from my inanimate breakfast, for sure. Your incredulity is not an argument. And we would do well to steer clear of the evolu...
There's for options for any second-order predicate. So you left out "I don't believe that god doesn't exist"...presumably a weak form of atheism. Nor ...
If there is a god, shouldn't his presence be overwhelmingly apparent? And indeed, theists often do make this claim, adding the corollary that atheists...
Usually by showing problems with the arguments that purport to demonstrate that god exists, then pointing out inconsistencies in the notion of god tha...
Better to take atheism as the belief that god does not exist. That's how it is generally defined, and places it in direct opposition to theism, the be...
That's the god of the holes; invoking god to explain something for which there is at present no scientific explanation. There's a few problems with it...
That's not the case. A large majority are explicitly atheist. It doubtless comes from understanding argument and logic well. It is very difficult to d...
A few notes on the sociology of theist threads, There's always one, often two or more. They tend to be first threads of new members, and are never sta...
You entirely missed the point of what I posted. Notice that I said That there was no practical difference. Notions of heaven and hell are not practica...
@"Hanover" will argue for the affirmative, to be answered in the negative by @"180 Proof". @"Banno" will moderate. Posts will be no longer than 500 wo...
I won't claim that title for myself, but I do dabble in guitar and sometimes bass. This morning I was trying to get the bass drone to run smoothly in ...
Interesting, but again too complex. It's sort of a prog rock - metal fusion to my ear, and needs too much thinking to enjoy; compared to the clean sim...
Compare a classic such as this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv5KSPgDX1w&t=32s There's such a joy in the interplay of drum, bass and lead, transiti...
Not bad. Bonham hit harder. It's too long, the riff predictable, the wah wah peddle a bit naf. But the thing that counts most against it is the preten...
After twenty months, we have a plan to make a plan... The missing 'magic numbers' in Morrison's COVID strategy are a stark reminder of our bungled vac...
I think I'm not being very clear; I watched old Dr Who episodes until the wee small hours last night and my head isn't that clear. Perhaps I can make ...
If god is self-contradictory then god renders himself unavailable for discussion. (p & ~p)?q If god is self-contradicting, anything follows, and so an...
That's a clever approach. Cantor would have presumably claimed that God was the sum of all those infinite infinities... Your point is that there is no...
As for the OP here, the distinction between actual and potential infinities is a non-starter. Consider the distinction between an actual five and an p...
