The Long and the Short of it.

[fr0d0]

I certainly wouldn't cling to blatantly irrational reasoning such as the no empirical evidence joke -

That is an unnecessary ad homimen ---and where we differ at a fundamental level.

A Skeptic and materialist, I assert truth cannot be inferred from reason alone.I demand proof. To dismiss my position as 'a joke' is a typical apologist ad homimem.

That doesn't change the fact that it's clearly illogical to dismiss God because of lack of empirical evidence.

Ergo, my comment is not ad-hominem, it is very relevant.

If anyone presented me with a rational dismissal of any ideas I'd have to take that on and change - how could I not? I cannot deny what my brain understands to be true.

You give the lie to that claim in almost every post. From long observation I've concluded you have a limited capacity for either independent or critical thinking,instead relying on bloody minded dogmatism. It is your intransigent position which is the joke my friend.

This is an ad hominem. Totally unsubstantiated bullshit.

Long observation my ass. You're hurt.
