By the by, philosophy does not answer "why" the world works in any ultimate way.
Are you kidding me? I'm a naive philosopher fifty pages into my book of Kant and I gotta be the expert around here? No wonder why atheism's such a mess.
You do realize theology is philosophy, that science is derivative of natural philosophy, yeah? Cool.
So by calling it axiomatic, Perhaps and amkerman are calling it a priori; prior to experience - this argument against atheism - and why are they still going? Because they're right, and you and the rabid atheists ain't seeing it.
With me, they're wrong; simply because it is a moral wrong. The atheist position is to argue from a scientific perspective what is a metaphysical debate, attempting to determine truth based on evidence. It's like calling a strike out in football.
I don't do formal philosophy; besides, who wants to hear it? Let's just cut to the chase. A priori "god" is not congruent to a posteriori moral experience. Baby!
OK, team, atheist? That's what you look for; once they cross over into the corporeal realm of knowledge based on experience, let 'em have it.
Thanks, but you're not arguing my point, darling. Remember, you're insane.
