Oh and I see you have dodged my questions again about the nature of god which makes me think you don't know.
I'm having a lot of conversations with a lot of people on the forum. Lots to read, and I want to try and respond to all the messages I get out of respect to each poster.

It's possible for things to skip through the cracks.

If I miss a question it might be because I'm responding rapidly and skimming.

Could you try and be charitable? If I were as uncharitable as you are you know things wouldn't be pleasant. I'm asking you to reciprocate the charity I'm showing you.

PS- not homework. Learning.

Foundationalism has grappled with the question you're trying to address and has already provided a name and a rigorous and well-established formal system within which your described doxastic structure fits. What your describe IS a homespun and patchwork version of foundationalism.

Your assumptions correspond to basic beliefs.

But you also said some really silly things like "Where as what you suggested was that ultimately we can't be sure this is all unreal so you may as well believe in god."

I never suggested anything like this.

I think you're seeing ghosts of theism lol.


The way I read your post was that you were implying that nothing could be ultimately known so we can't be sure of anything. As a believer in woo yourself I took this as a justification for the belief in anything because hey you cant be sure we aren't all brains in vats anyway.
This seems like the last resort of someone who has no evidence for their position but if you say that's not what you were saying what were you saying?
All I have ever asked your is evidence for a god and you have yet to supply any.
Anyhoo I have now read up on foundationalism, which seems like another bunch of words used by people to justify unproven beliefs, as such I reject it. Can I have some evidence for god now. Oh and can you explain the nature of god, what its made of how it creates universes etc etc.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
