Explicate please.

I thought he was a literary device?
Quote:And Kant went way way way beyond Plato.
Kant is the reincarnation of Plato.
Quote:Dude like I said, the dilemma both imply a God.
So what? Are you scared by that or something?
Quote: So it's a false dichotomy.
Feeling uncomfortable by merely contemplating a god doesn't make it false.
Quote: The fact you can answer the dichotomy with the word "neither" means it's a false dichotomy.
No, because that answer isn't entertaining the idea. Your default position should be that this is an hypothetical (uh-oh), since your beliefs don't account for any god. I don't understand why you and Rhythm are so inclined to only see your own beliefs being reflected in philosophical works. Put down your beliefs, corner the question into an hypothetical cage so that poor you doesn't get hurt, and address the goddamned question head on. "But I don't like gawd" isn't going to fly, unless you like playing philosopher for funsies.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle
