The argument in #2 is simply an extension of concept. god(s) are not provable or unprovable (except by lack of concrete evidence). Arguing that 'can't disprove gods' is silly philosophical position and often held by theists. The premise of a god(s) is flawed from the beginning. There is no need to state 'impossible' unless the individual has some belief that the god concept exists in reality (outside the mind) is valid. I reject the initial premise of god, the possible or impossible argument extension is a non starter.I do want to continue being part of the forum and to be taken seriously...but I do not (metaphorically) intend to sell my soul in order for that to happen.
You can disagree and think that your position is correct that's fine. Understand that it's only correct for you.
If you want to continue being part of the forum and taken seriously in the future you need to move on.
People like you have been misstating what I have said and inferred. I have been reasonable and logical in my arguments. You folk disagree. Fine. But to suppose I must change in order to meet some standard you people do not live up to yourselves...is ludicrous.
Ain't gonna happen.
I'm not kidding myself. I expect the moderators and administrators to invent a reason to get rid of me.
Okay...it is their forum and they have that right.
When it happens, I will go peacefully...with fond memories of the battles fought.
I didn't say change, I said move on. This has reached an unresolvable impasse.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
