Ontological Disproof of God
RE: Ontological Disproof of God
Negatio falls apart when told he's not as smart as he thinks he is.

Unfortunately, he's able to communicate better when this happens. Maybe the high horse or pedestal is not the place for him.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

These are all nothing but excuses for your incompetence.  You can't defend your OP in either jargon or simple language.  Expressing things in jargon doesn't make your position less defeasable, except insofar as it makes it incomprehensible, it just presents a barrier to understanding.  If you'll read real philosophers, they don't talk or write like this.  Even Sartre only used his neologisms after patient introduction of their meaning and plenty of examples.  So you're just blowing smoke up our asses.

And for what it's worth, you seem not to know the meaning of the word jargon.

You claimed various things about the necessity and efficacy of using language the way you have. I was attacking those claims. That is not an ad hominem as I was not attacking your supposed disproofs about God, but your defense of your behavior. So, no, I didn't engage in any ad hominem, aside from the remark about whether you could defend your OP or not, which wasn't directed at the soundness or validity of your argument, but was more an expression of exasperation at your ridiculous behavior. You do make excuses for yourself. And when those excuses are undermined, you cry about people attacking your excuses. Grow the fuck up, bitch.

It can be used in the pejorative sense, in this case it was not. If you misunderstood the sense in which it was being used, I'm sorry. As a technical matter, Oxford refers to the definition you quoted as "archaic." So, no, that is not correct either. But by all means, throw shade whenever and however the opportunity arises. As noted above, pointing out that your excuses for your behavior don't wash is not an ad hominem argument. For someone who whines about other people making ad hominem arguments, you seem to engage in a lot of them yourself. Nobody is trying to embarrass you, and I am not in the least bit angry. I am more amused than anything. You seem little more than yet another internet crank who is obsessively convinced of his brilliance and is immune to attempts at rational discussion. If you can't at least make an attempt to make yourself understood, don't waste our time with empty excuses for your failure. I did ask you about the key turn of your argument, the relationship between nihilation and law, and all I got was a restatement of your initial arguments. That's not helpful.

I have absolutely no idea, whatsoever, what you just so kindly advised can possibly mean ! You lost me at ''source mode'', what is it that I am not doing correctly now ?  I think you are saying that it is something which I am not doing … and, that absent something is putting the editor in ''source mode'' whatever that is !

Are you using the mobile version of the forum interface (on a phone or tablet) or are you using the desktop version?  The forum software offers two different modes of editing a post.  All posts are a mixture of text that is intended for display, and embedded codes which tell the software how the text is to be displayed.  These embedded codes are enclosed in square brackets, and usually come in pairs (e.g. [ quote ] and [/ quote ], without the spaces).  To accommodate editing, the editor can display your reply two different ways.  It can display it without visual display of the codes, formatted as the post will look when it is posted (notable by the inclusion of line boxes around quoted text).   Or it can display it in its "raw" form showing the text of your reply including the embedded codes.  That is called source mode. (My prior post contained pictures, perhaps your device didn't display them.) I was pointing out that it might be easier to edit your replies in source mode, rather than using the simulated display editor. You can use source mode one of two ways. One, by toggling it on whenever you edit a post (assuming you aren't using the mobile version on a phone or tablet), by selecting the last icon on the row of buttons directly above the box in which the text you are replying to is displayed. Or, you can go to the User Control Panel ("User CP" link at the top right of the page), click on "Edit Options" (midway down on the left side of the page), and checking the box beside "Put the editor in source mode by default" (on the lower right of the page). If you are using the mobile version of the forum interface (on a phone or tablet), then you don't have a choice; the mobile version uses source mode and only source mode.

RE: Ontological Disproof of God
I'm not sure how you go about tackling characters in books of fiction. Are we saying that Yahweh, if he was real and as described, wouldn't be a deity? Or that within the fictional universe of the book, he isn't a deity? (Or maybe that the fictional world as described can't correlate with ours?)

He appears to be higher on the hierarchy than us in either case, just by being more powerful, even if he's a total dimwit. And he supposedly made man, in both cases.

RE: Ontological Disproof of God
Yeah, theres alot wrong with his idea of divinity, if he's trying to tackle the judeo christian god.  God doesn't try to rule over us by law, god rules over us by fiat.  It's a god, ffs.  

What he's trying to establish, though, is that the issuance of laws shows god's ignorance of man's essential nature - thus denying the validity of an ontological claim about that god.

The trouble, ofc, is that even if we assume that his assertions regarding the nature of man are entirely true (which they aren't, lol) god still (allegedly) knew that man would be incapable of being righteous before the law.

Lucanus, WOW, WOW.  A solidly edifying, incisive, point-blank/dead-on constructive and wholly viable positive criticism !, of course, the infinite run-on sentencing which I do so so dearly love to indulge, thinking I  am so fucking smooth, when, in fact, you, Lucanus, are stricken by what appears to you to be the mal-adaptive apparent absurdity of the length of the individual thoughts; that, then, you deem to be at the heart of an apparent absurdity ,and, an instant seeming foolhardiness of expression.

Jormungandr, Negatio uses a desktop.  Wow, look at the text box now, it appears to be expressing itself in this source code, it does not work as smoothly for me, I just had a hard time trying to respond to you, this is haywire.

You claimed various things about the necessity and efficacy of using language the way you have.

Yes, excellent, thank you, good. My personal understanding of the way I deem myself under the necessity to write philosophy the way I do is not a presentation of excuse, that is, at least not to me. I am giving you my report of how I tick; as an existentialist I am both without excuse and justification for what I am, for I am just plain raw-fucking-what-I-am; I am not under the necessity of justifying myself, of excusing myself, to anyone; and, I am not what I am and am what I am not, i.e., an absolute freedom, always becoming that which I am not yet, and, surpassing what I was...
My position regarding what I think is the way to owning theoretical intelligibility in my written presentation is correct and unassailable. Unless you can overthrow the bottommost ground of my presentation, i.e., determinatio negatio est, I cannot possibly be characterized as either mistaken, or crank . Once again, come at me dragon lady, in the negative language of the language you intend to demonstrate to be mistaken, else you cannot even outline what it is you claim you are defeating....I am tired...I need to ride my bicycle down the road and try to talk a friend into driving me into town to purchase fuel and food...Let us break for a bit, or feel free to respond while I am shopping....Negatio.

According to the hateful Whateverist, I should no longer bother to respond to member concerns, because, according to W., the cave dwellers just plain do not give a fuck …, however, since I am now prepared to explain my position by continuing a discussion of the Neil lMc Cauley character in the piece of cinema named "Heat", because Neil is Sartre's jargon/language portrayed cinematographically, wherein Neil is this totally free thief wherein...pre-reflectively knowing that he is an absolute freedom, is...

@ Negatio
So you really don't give a shit about letting other people understand your arguments. I mean, it's ok. But to be honest, if you can't take the criticism, stay out of the forum.

As I probably made clear, English is not my first language, and your style of writing (clearly reminiscent of the classical style of certain Latin and Greek authors I've had the dubious pleasure to translate in high school) is way too abstruse to make me even consider the possibility of trying to make sense of it!

Seeing as we're 18 (or however many) pages into this thread, and this same objection, along with many others, has been met with accusations of "ad hominem" attacks, and you are somehow still borking quotes all over the place, I am even more inclined to doubt in your good faith.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
