An Act of Incoherency

There's a wood-elf masturbating on my desk, and she's begging for a jar of pickles for some reason. Accept this as fact, or you are arguing incoherently against that which you cannot prove wrong. Here's my definition of incoherent: putting forward an argument as fact which cannot be demonstrated to be so, and then putting the burden of proof on anyone who disbelieves you. As for me-- I'll stick to my "bias" against unsubstantiated bullshit unless you can generate sufficient cause for me to change my mind.
No. because It wouldn't be an act of skepticism. There simply isn't an elf on your desk masturbating.

Skepticism isn't an argument, it's a mode of thinking ... a filter. It can be used in discussions, which by the way are conversations. It's aptness depends on the subject matter, but even in such subjective matters as emotions it may be brought to bear usefully (John Doe tells you he "loves animals", but you saw him last week beating a dog).
Evidence isn't an argument; it's an argument's substantiation. RE: An Act of Incoherency

And there isn't a Sky Daddy watching me masturbate to Brazilian fart porn. So we DO agree, and nobody has to talk about biases or incoherency. OR. . . go ahead and prove that there's no elf on my desk, and then tell me how you did it, so I'll know how to prove that God isn't real.

Okay, when I say, I don't think there is a God, do I comprehend God? Can I sufficiently encapsulate God's entirety into language sensibly enough to take a position on whether he does or doesn't exist? |
