I have some questions for the posters here.

You know what you see, so it must amount to a difference between what you and I see....and I wonder, wasn’t that always going to be the explanation for why one person can’t know something that another person can?

I have no idea of what in hell you are talking about.

If you do...please fill in the blanks.

I have described why I hold the positions that I do. Several times.

Exactly what position of yours have I "rejected?"

We can discuss that.

RE: I have some questions for the posters here.
That’s exactly the problem. You seem to have exactly no idea what -you’re- talking about. You can’t explain or describe it, or even some similar thing for comparison.

You know -that- you x that no one can know whether gods exist, and I know that you x that too.... but neither of us knows why, since I would have to rely on you for that information- and you don’t have it.

Meanwhile, I have all the information I require to know that gods don’t exist, and can and have been able to explain and describe that information, and even the process I use to derive conclusions from it. A process I use for a great many other items of my knowledge, like my name or whether the sun is shining.

Wow. That takes me back. CDF. I remember that guy. His megathread was really something to behold. It was amazing.

But CDF was one of those "principled trolls" too. Like, he never posted outside his megathread. He only posted inside of it. And that shielded him from banning, y'know? Lesser trolls will keep making dumbass threads until -- boom. They must be banned.

But CDF knew how to avoid the climax. It was like "troll tantra" or something.

You do not have shit in the way of information to know that gods don't exist.

But...you are stuck in atheist mode the same way theists are stuck in theist mode.

You people are all driven by your blind guesses about the REALITY.

Don't mind laughing at you...and don't mistake it for laughing with you.

Question:  Why did he want to avoid it?

RE: I have some questions for the posters here.
Do you know why you x that, either? It’s really just the same claim isn’t it. Let’s try something. Since I’ve already explained that I use the same process to derive that knowledge that I’ve applied to my own name...and I’ll just go check right now to see if the sun is shining......

Yup, hot as hell too....

Would you also doubt that I had the required information to know those things? Is it knowledge, in general, about anything that you doubt, knowledge about this one oarficular thing and nothing else...which you doubt, or just a given individuals possession of knowledge?

What information should I need to possess to make knowledge claims about my name, the sun shining, and gods?

What the fuck are you ranting about?

Are you thinking that I have said you cannot know anything?

I "know" what my name is on my birth certificate.

I "know" I am typing this reply on a keyboard in my den.

What the hell does that have to do with you (or someone else) saying, "I know there are no gods?"

WHAT?

At work.

Hey Frank.

Here's a question.

Perhaps you could put forward a deity claim and I'll tell ypu whether I know if it exists or not?

Cheers.

RE: I have some questions for the posters here.
Saying “I am an atheist, but I could be wrong”...is to claim that you’re wrong about your apprehensions of your own beliefs.

Fucking ludicrous.

At any rate, I was asking whether you doubted my knowing my name or whether the sun is shiny. Seems like you don’t have an issue with either of those so it can’t be knowledge in general that you object to, or the process of claiming knowledge by leveraging sound assertions to valid conclusions.

That just leaves the god question as it’s own special case, or there being some disagreement if relevant fact between us. Do you think the gods question is the only unanswerable question, or are there more that you would lump in with it?
