Atheism is irrational.

[Neo-Scholastic]

Arguments from unnamed authorities...insults...bald assertions...straw men...blah...blah...blah.

You cannot reason fiction into reality. The world doesn't care about your words. What doesn't exist will not *poof* into existence if you utter the right words in the right order ... your fetish with philosophy notwithstanding.

...thereby dismissing an entire branch of human inquiry. I suggest you call your local University and advise them to shut down their Philosophy Department. See how they feel about that suggestion.

Here's how the thread has played out thus far:

"Here is my straw man refutation of the 5W."
"Well, even if my refutation doesn't apply someone sometime did so I don't need to."
"Well even if I cannot produce a valid refutation it doesn't matter. All propositions require empirical verification (except this one.)"
"Philosophy is bullshit."
