RE: Hey, I'm new

So logic is now philosophical psycho babble, because you can't muster the intelligence to understand it nor the intellectual honesty to be consistent with it? We already know that you have little interest in because you can't support your silly theology with it. After all, you don't give a shit about intellectual honesty or epistemic justification, you simply care about how Jesus makes you feel inside!

What I care about is being rational, and absolutely key to that is having an epistemology, which you agreed with when you want to muster the illusion of intellectualism, but dismiss as psychobabble when it turns out you absolutely fail at it - Double standards much? Not surprising when you have no coherent foundation to check your consistency against!

Only my own answers satisfy me? I just changed my mind today on central controls on education, courtesy of Darkest Of Angels.

You draw your 'conclusions' to fit what you already believe, you DO NOT have any rational foundation or method by which you determine things to be justified what-so-ever. Go ahead and explain it if you like, but you won't, you'll dodge the question again and again and find some way to blame it on something else, just like the intellectually spineless crackpot you are.

How many times have you repeated that bull shit VOID? Name calling seems all you are capable of. Rational thought is certainly beyond you. Lets stick to what you understand shall we?

Another dodge.

I do hope you noticed that the last few times you accused me of not having a coherent epistemology I presented you with exactly that, however when you are accused of it you do naught but substantiate the accusations by dodging the question.

Yeah, I'll call you an irrational twat, I've given you ample opportunity to support your claims of having a rational foundation to your belief system, you have failed every request, I see no point in playing nice, you're an intellectually dishonest coward who will neither show any attempt to honestly support the claims you make nor admit your failure to do so.

It's getting too easy to make my point. I'll do it again, just to make it perfectly clear that you are unable to answer a question for which you claim to be the one with a coherent answer:

Can you explain your theory of justification?

*waits for dodge*

RE: Hey, I'm new
What I don't do VOID, is play your game. What I do do in abundance is explain myself. You defer to generalist terms and Wikipedia. The problem with that is that it's never actually true, just an over intellectualised approximation. What I do is explain it in my own words, and to the best of my ability. I don't speak the language of philosobabble, no. I see no point in using a language that falls short of real explanation.

You think I don't have true adequate knowledge to justify my belief? How arrogant can you get?

I've explained myself in detail to you many times. I've pointed out to you a course of action, which you choose not to take. Where do I go from here? Where do you go from here? Do you carry on with your crusade of denial?

What we see from you now is baseless sniping. Never will you try to really explain yourself... if I pull you up on anything all I get is this attack from obscurity.. "you prove your point first... I have nothing to prove". Well excuse me for falling about laughing at that VOID.

Yours is an empty gesture of zero content. Its advanced smoke screening for people without a clue. Your point being: to boost your own ego.

Hitler was Catholic if anything. Wotan was a Scandinavian god. Don't know what the "religion" would have been called, not that it matters.

Hi there,

It's been exactly 3 years since my last post. Sad

I would like to apologize to you all, I could've opened up a new account but didn't find that appealing. Can we restart the conversations, I mean are you all here or interested to continue this discussion in this thread.

One thing to note is my understandings have had changes along the way, I was reading through this whole convo and found out so.

Welcome.

Nothing wrong with theists.

Unless they're fundamentalists or creationists.

RE: Hey, I'm new
Also now I dont think I will start off with proposing statements but rather ask questions to you all. These questions will help me get a better understanding of everything.

I'll do it here if you all are interested or I'll open up a new thread to do that.

Hello Beccs, before I consider myself in or not in those two categories, I would like to know what you meant by fundamentalist or creationist.

I'm not sure why you would insult someone for asking questions, as i said i'll be doing that instead of what i did 3 years back. and if getting back to this thread so late after 3 years is the reason, then as i said before, I beg your pardon.

anyways, talk to you in a new thread.
