Book of Acts: Pure Fantasy

[Angrboda]

So, in other words, you have no argument.

Well, you just go on believing that. I've presented my arguments and I think they stand just fine on their own. You obviously don't think so and want me to go down the philoso-babble rabbit hole with you to a world of magic and imagination. I, on the other hand, don't want to waste my time talking about undiscovered hypothetical celestial tea pots or that it turns out we really are a brain in a jar somewhere.

I'm just a simple Kentucky boy who lives by common sense. Everything I've learned, observed and experienced in the universe tells me it's a pretty natural place

(bold added)

That right there is induction. I have no interest in celestial teapots either. However when you talk induction out of one side of your mouth, and deny it out the other, my calling foul has nothing to do with magic. You are behaving profoundly irrationally in doing so. And all this Gomer Pyle "I'm just a simple Kentucky boy" is no excuse for taking a stance that is just plain wrong. I'm sure Kentucky air is as good as any other.

(ETA: Btw, if you truly didn't want to talk about these things, why did you start this thread? Why are you here at all? I rather suggest that someone who spends as much time on a forum about atheism, is a moderator of said forum, and presents themselves as one who "Smites fallacies, dispels magical thinking", I rather suspect you like talking about them a great deal. That you are a "deist" who dispels magical thinking, superficially, suggests that you may have some consistency issues.)
