Thoughts on Atheism (and a plea to the religious)

[FallentoReason]

I know my memory works because I can rip out my keyboard, smash it against my head and make every key pop out. I can then walk out of the room, remember what I have just done, walk back in and find the evidence that proves my memory was accurate and disproves your mad argument. And yes, while all of this happened time WAS TICKING meaning that the universe didn't pop into existence halfway through smashing my keyboard or even after.

You're really not even reading, are you?

"I know my memory is accurate because of my memory!"

No I said I know my memory is accurate because I can relate the broken keyboard i.e. evidence to the memory in my brain. You twisted my words.

You can't cite your memory as evidence that your memory is accurate. This is the same bullshit that theists do with the Bible.

"Oh, I can do something, then later I'll remember doing it, and this means my memory is accurate." No, it means that at some time, you'll remember having done it. How do you know that this memory is accurate?

You're just saying, "If my memory is accurate, then my memory is accurate." That is, "If I do something, and remember it accurately, then my memory of doing it is accurate." Well, no shit.



Stop with this bullshit. Questioning how you know p doesn't mean I think p is false.

I don't have to prove you wrong. You have to justify your assumptions--unless you're okay just taking things on faith, without evidence. But that wouldn't make you a very consistent evidentialist.

I don't have to deal with any of this intellectual dissonance. It's irrational, pointless, unevidenced wishful thinking that YOU will have to prove.

I refuse to consider any longer the laughable baseless assertion that the universe came into being just then, and that I magically wrote this without ever writing it. There is not a shred of evidence to even consider such a possibility.

You sir have a loose screw.
