atheism, philosophy and emotional immaturity
#48
RE: atheism, philosophy and emotional immaturity
Is it a belief that is intended to be taken as a truth claim? Someone could say "the earth is round". Another person might respond "I don't believe you". Does the rejection of belief in the earth being round require justification?

What do you think, Joel? Do you think that rejecting a belief in a round earth requires justification?


This is pure 100% sophistry by the way.
