There is that which exists, in some form, and that which does not. Out of that that does, it's up to us what we label as "natural" and "supernatural". What is the distinction, and why do we need one?

Philosophical naturalist. 'Tis only natural to disbelieve what isn't real.

Naturally I agree.

How's this: "Get bent." That pretty much addresses you.

I think the problem here is your unwillingness or inability to put any mental energy toward framing a question any more specific than "What do you mean here?" You really don't have to be such lazy twit.

I emphasized what I meant. Here, I'll do it again.

Did you mean their kind, possibly ? Otherwise, that phrasing doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I was wondering if you could address this sentence in particular. Maybe repeat the idea via different terms? 
I agreed with everything else you said. Hard not to, really , it's all common sense. I do commend you on your excellent eloquence , however. That is always a pleasant thing to behold. 
That's my emphasis.

I see that you have responded, EP. I just don't see any reason to find out what you've said. What part of "get bent" didn't you understand? I refuse to converse with anyone as rude, lazy and childish as yourself. I continually over-estimate you. Off you go now.

Right . OK, then.

Ok, but if you were a naturalist, would you be philosophically naked, or methodologically naked?

False dichotomy.

I'd be naked in all senses.

I know you weren't talking to me but my willy doesn't care.

I think, its supernatural, that lifeless chemicals ended up with complex immaterial system like consciousness, which fear, desire, enjoy. Also, space itself, laws of physics, matter just popped in to existence. Its f creepy.
