Is nihilism the logical extreme of atheism?

[Violet]

For someone who requires an all-knowing oracle to make a statement about experience that can be reasonably considered true, you sure have a lot to say. Too bad none of it is novel.

Who needs an all-knowing oracle to make a statement about an experience that can be reasonably considered "true"? That's the very question I asked but a few posts back. I thought you were around at the time... but I guess not. I'll reiterate: understanding TRUTH for *anyone* is an inherently impossible task, as there is no way for them to divorce from their perception.

Such a shame that it'll go over your head this time too... but I have faith that you could come around in time

"An ad hominem (Latin for "to the man" or "to the person"[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a form of criticism directed at something about the person one is criticizing, rather than something (potentially, at least) independent of that person."
See, now I can say, based off your lack of understanding the terms you use, coupled with your haughty assertions, that you are a moron--and that's an observation, not an ad hominem.

Sure, and where here have I given you an ad hominem? I don't have to resort to puerile infantilism to end an argument... had only you been able to rise to my very approachable level.

P.S. Please go learn the definition of a straw-man.

Something something knowledge isn't necessarily correct something something that's the point of what I'm telling you in the first place something something you probably won't grasp this enormous irony in the first place so why do I attempt to explain it to you in any facet?

It's not like you've shown me any ability to defend your stance, and it's not like you've shown me any willingness to reconsider your stance... your faith simply is too strong to penetrate through rational discourse. I envy that, you know.

Your ability to edit after-the-fact somehow doesn't credit you any additional leverage. You might make better use of such extra time by thinking it through the first time.

Stated in a post in which you chose to edit. Priceless.

Multiple responses automatically update the edit to show the last time a person added to their post. After about 1-3 hours (I honestly do not remember), addendums are cut off and made into one's next post, which will proceed to update as new posts are added. Edit: you may notice "when post was last modified" up there at the top of an edited post? That includes entirely new responses which are stacked by the [ hr ] lines.

At least, that's what I think. But this is the theme I intend you be left with: everything you know is probably wrong.
