Why the scare-quotes around the terms truth and existence? The words are part of a relation, so if that's what you're saying by calling them both rela...

I disagree... completely. It seems that perhaps your framework will not allow us to say something about that which exists in it's entirety prior to me...

The age of the earth for starters???

Speech that can be shown to incite insurrection is not protected.

There can be no evidence to the contrary for any Christian beliefs? Are you saying that?

Without his speech there would have been no insurrection attempt. The case is easy to make. McConnell made it. Trump will stand trial. One man created...

Not all speech is protected.

There's nothing unconstitutional about charging a former president.

Not sure of the numbers. I've watched on PBS, and that's the story they've been telling(the one I repeated).

Bullshit. Trump will be charged.

The pattern of behaviour before during and after is the evidence. It's more than adequate.

55-45 no witnesses. Presumably everyone knew that the 2/3 majority conviction was out of reach, and the GOP threatened to hold up any and all proceedi...

Expect criminal charges...

McConnell made the case. He needs tried in the justice system. Impeachment and conviction results only in removal from office. McConnell said that res...

The case needs to be made in regards to what Trump did during the insurrection. That looks like what's going to happen with witnesses. If Trump meant ...

Not in terms of what it takes in order for something to become meaningful(existing meaningfully)?

More self-contradiction.

A bit more on the faith aspect... Faith is unshakable belief in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The saying goes "walk by faith not by ...

To be clear... Are you suggesting that there ought be no rules governing human behaviour? That there ought be no such thing as an enforceable clearly ...

In order to know the odds that some particular event is going to happen one must know each and every actual outcome and all the individual particular ...

As if there is no acceptable enforcement of authority?

Bertrand Russell's "Why I'm Not A Christian" is relevant here.

Existing and existing meaningfully... Do you draw and maintain that distinction?

Good idea.

Well, I'm not sure what all this has been about then, aside from you explaining to me the limitations of your own position on meaning.

No, I did not. I've given several arguments throughout our exchange here. You've neglected them all. I've answered all sorts of things raised by you, ...

There was widespread election fraud and the election was basically stolen from Trump.<----- that is logically possible. In order for it to be believed...

:brow: How many different ways does it need to be explained to you?

Any and all belief that is based upon logical possibility alone. I've explained.

My claim(counter) is that things that only exist in the presence of a self-conscious subject cannot possibly exist without being in the presence of a ...

Are you really saying that there's no way to prove that some things exist in their entirety prior to becoming meaningful to an individual creature cap...

All meaning is attributed to things that already exist in their entirety prior to becoming meaningful to a creature capable of drawing correlations be...

Some existence is prior to meaning(Some things exist in their entirety prior to becoming meaningful to a creature capable of drawing correlations betw...

Nonsense. When it is the case that something exists, it is not possible for that situation to be any other way. Things don't do both, exist and not ex...

This needs attention. It's got something wrong that's rather important... "Truth-apt" is the name for things capable of being true. Some thoughts, som...

Be well.

All warranted belief are belief. All belief presupposes truth. Ergo... All warranted, unwarranted, justified, unjustified, all well grounded, all pure...

I think that the point of the paper was that Dawkins' ad hoc had the same justificatory ground(or lack thereof) as many of the religious arguments he ...

Indeed. It's takes a plurality thereof.

Not at all. All belief presupposes truth. I'm pointing out the difference between being reasonable and being warranted. The former is satisfied by coh...

I would agree. That's good improvement. Ok, I think I get what you're saying! You're drawing a distinction between something existing and that same so...

You began by asking and/or imploring - and rightly so - about my position on all meaning. Just a reminder that the OP is chock full of statements any ...

Warrant involves truth. Being reasonable involves only coherency.

Must've been my skimming too quickly...

It looks like there's been some substantial revisions and/or additions to the last few replies... I've yet to have re-examined them. Need to prior to ...

I'm not following. Are you referring to the word? Mentioning the word's earlier use? Are you talking about the word or are you using the word as a mea...

What does the term "it" pick out here to the exclusion of all else?

Perhaps. You've made me regret writing "plausible premisses"... :wink: If it is the case that in order for some statement or other to be true, certain...
