Antidisestablishmentarianism is Observable!

Human observation/measurement is non-absolute, for any event, as far as science prescribes..

You're not thinking this through, as evidenced by the fact that you're [fallaciously, as shown above] appealing to the Uncertainty Principle in defending the certainty of your own point. Color me unimpressed. If your human observation is non-absolute, then you should probably quit speaking in absolutes, Jordie.

Have you watered those hydrangeas like I had asked?

What absolutes had I mentioned, 'genius writer'?

You may not understand the difference, but I do. You may be a "programming god", but I'm a writer, and words are my playthings. When you use a word around me, you'd goddamned well better be using it correctly. And in this case, you aren't.

[Extraneous claptrap font bullshit was stripped by Thump]

Also, that MJ meme is tired. Get some new material, or at least get the .gif, so you'll look like you're typing on something more modern than a 386.

And, as I stated initially, philosophy is yet another observable (synonym for measurable) construct:

Ooh, I wanna play!

Dictionary (3): To comply is to meet specified standards.

Dictionary (4): A standard is a flag.

Dictionary (5): A flag is any of various monocotyledonous plants with long ensiform leaves.

Dictionary (6): Ensiform refers to a leaf with sharp edges and a noticeable taper.

Dictionary(7): A taper is a candle.

Dictionary (8): A candle is a required amount of trouble.

I have just proved that philosophy is a lot of trouble.

Hey, Jordan? I'm worried you might run out of little arrows, you're using them up at an unsustainable rate. So I went and bought you a bit of a selection.

Don't worry about getting the money back to me, it's my treat.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

TO THEISTS FOR WHICH THE CONVERSION 'FAILS':


If you do not observe my initial post as scientifically sound, you probably think you are omniscient.

That is the condition to failing to observe the scientific stipulation prior; you need accept that you are omniscient in some way.

However, science shows that humans are not omniscient, we measure things probabilistically.

This then becomes denial in a profoundly pure/ironic form; you assert yourself to possess omniscience, one of your God's properties.



...
By failing to follow my initial post, (which states that humans are NOT OMNISCIENT OF ANY EVENT) you in contrast appear to claim omniscience.

Otherwise, how are you aware that absolutes/truth is possible (ie the existence of god is TRUE/ABSOLUTE), without being able to detect absolutes yourself?

Could you at least restore 4 stars?

Why not erase the title itself, shall it not 'appeal to your fancies'?

Also, why not erase the other 4 stars form the 4.3 second thread of mine?

Did the 1 second thread particularly touch somewhere forbidden for you?


You guys probably need to update the rules, to forbid the use of stars in titles.
You could also add this rule:

(1) Please contact admin or mod, and ask whether a particular symbol is usable.

Otherwise, you could provide a list of banned symbols.

Or you could read the rules we already have. Ahem, again.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
