Is atheism a belief?

[bennyboy]

Now you are simply being dishonest.

Face it, you are a solipsist, the single most useless and embarrassing philosophical position to take. 

But you are also aware how vapid a position that is. So vacuous it is that you are sufficiently self aware that you understand the need to hide it.

If I were a solipsist, then from whom would I be hiding my true views, and by whom would I be embarrassed? And if you were a figment of my own mind, why wouldn't your arguments be more original and intelligently presented?

Oh and I have flown a plane in real life. Your quip about flight Not being  about wing geometry but it is about wing geometry is so bad  that it becomes funny.Especially when one has actually done it. Essentially what you are attempting is to compare the Wright brothers to the Boeing Corporation. And you have not noticed what a stupid idea that is.

It's like you are deliberately trying to make yourself a case in point.  You are having trouble with proximate cause vs. ultimate cause, and not getting that this example was about that.

Ultimately, a plane flies because it brings the forces in the Universe into balance in a particular way-- ultimately, it is the existence of those forces, which we take as brute fact, which allows for flight.

Having hurled yourself on that hand grenade of idiocy, you roll right on in to the claim that neurologists know nothing about the brain or how it works. 

Because WTF?

None of this ever happened.  In fact, I mentioned several things neurologists know about the brain and how it works, and even demonstrated a memory of specific cases in which the ideas in the linked video had been talked about in AF in the past.  Before WTF-ing my ideas, maybe you should read and understand them first.

I mean, you can keep throwing hysterical insults if you like, but surely you should know that such weak arguments will just reinforce my belief that you are expressing ingrained memes rather than meaningful thoughts?
