Looks strikingly familiar to the crap that's been gushing out of this thread.
Sulliedpoop is a troll guys, isn't it about time everyone just ignored him and let this thread die? I mean damn, 62 pages and he's still harping on the same shit.
I was more than content to let it rest, but your call to let the troll sleep has caused him to awaken.It's odd that posting a request to ignore has the reverse affect.
It's very simple to get rid of me, admit you have a belief or justify why it's not. So far whateverist admitted it and I respect him for that.
So, back to the point at hand. I propose materialism is a belief on the basis that there is no justified reason to believe it to be correct, therefore it's a belief. Science may be the best means we have to assess the evidence, this does not mean it must be able to obtain all evidence (for example, our ability to observe could limit what can be obtained). If you can outline why it must be able to answer the question, this would justify your view and make it rational until then it's a belief.
Justify it and I'll go away. I thought atheists loved to demonstrate their intellectual prowess?
