Since everything you claim to know and have evidence for depends crucially on your epistemology, I'd think that you'd be more interested. You know, if you were an actual skeptic, instead of just a pretend one.
When have I said I was a sceptic? (I am one, but you weren't to know that). I have never debated with you. You assume far too much.
I trust my memory because it is all I have to go on. As soon as you realise that the better. You are using your memory to talk about your memory. How can you begin to doubt something that you would need to doubt it? Blah, this can't be good for my sanity.
As for discussions about the existence of god, I see as equally pointless. Your "God obviously exists" doesn't have a parallel in anything I said... so I fail to see what you meant by that.
This is why I hate philosophy... you can argue about anything. Mental masturbation gets you nowhere.
I dabbled in philosophy, I had my fun with it. Back to reality now.
