IM SICK OF THESE DEBATES!!!

[Zaki Aminu]

I'm with you so far, but what has that got to do with anything?

Everything! Your friends were claiming that the existence of things depends solely on belief in their existence - and not something objective. That's just sheer nonsense, is it not?

Can you link me to where they claim that? I find that very hard to believe. Could it be just a simple miscommunication?

Or you could just check for yourself on the threads I've commented on. They're not that many.

Just to be clear: what is it exactly that you find hard to believe? That they reject my contention that the existence or non-existence of objective things is not dependent on anyone's beleifs? If they're not rejecting that, then we're all on the same page.

I find it hard to believe that they claim that existence is dependent solely on the belief of their existence. As for searching the forums, I am mobile on tapatalk and crosspost searching is not that easy. A link would have helped.

I'm new to these forums and unfamiliar with how they have been configured. So you probably will still be faster at searching than I am. But I'm glad you agree that anyone that claims that the existence of objective things - such as the continent of American or Australia - depends on their belief is nonsense. That is sufficient for me.

Zaki, if you don't mind answering this, what is your religion? Your username sounds like a Muslim name. So, are you a Muslim or not?

I'm a Free Thinker. I don't see the need to belong to any group in order to hold a worldview. Worldviews derived from membership of a group and co-ordinated with this group are usually compromises and therefore approximations. That is not a good way to seek out the Pure Truth - or do cutting-edge science.

Nevertheless there are many things in many religions that I find admirable and worthy of emulation. Atheism to me is the result of illogical thinking. Any worldview that rejects the validity of the Principle of Causality is bound to be absurdist, solipsist, and ultimately nihilist. And we can see plenty of evidence of that around us.

I'll give you this sunshine...you are consistantly inconsistant.

I've no idea what you mean. I don't think you do either, do you?

I am asking AGAIN WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF WICKEDNESS IS

Or is it you have no idea ...do you??

Unlike you and your friends, I don't make up my own definitions of words. I look them up in dictionaries. Here's the dictionary definition of "wickedness" from Merriam-Webster's online dictionary:

Definition of WICKEDNESS

1 : the quality or state of being wicked
2 : something wicked

And the definition of "wicked" is:

Definition of WICKED

1 : morally very bad : evil....etc.
