The Hayter-Braeloch Scale

That, at least, is what Descartes thought. IIrc, Kirkegaard argued that the whole exercise presupposed the 'I', thus presupposed that 'I' existed, and was therefore logically trivial. It doesn't confirm anything- it just says that if you exist then you exist.

So the guy is saying about the same thing I'm saying? How weird... and here I thought my criticisms were unique

Nah, its not weird at all. Great minds think alike.

Or maybe Kirkegaard just ripped off your ideas.

No mind thinks like mine. I guarantee it. More seriously... mine is hardly a great mind.

I'm almost certain that this guy did rip off of my ideas... but he has a different way of orating related points, so I'm not going to make anything of it to him

I'm certain through faith that God exists. I know that God cannot ever be known. I am an agnostic theist.

I don't think Adrian is conflating certainty with knowledge. the two are kept separate... belief (certainty) and conclusively establish (knowledge).

If you're using 'belief' as I use 'knowledge'... and you're using 'knowledge' as I use 'intersubjective knowledge':

I agree 100%!

Yay! *Throws confetti and waves her party hat over her head*

"God" is not clearly defined enough for me. Without a clear definition of what "God(s)" is/are, it makes no sense to me.

So where does Dotard fit in this list as he is God?

Gnostic theist I guess, assuming he understands the "I think therefore I am" argument for personal existence.

Assuming I understand? Were you holding an assumption I wouldn't, ya condescending bastard?

*Holds a condescending assumption to Dotard*

You're God... you can take it
