Is nihilism the logical extreme of atheism?

[genkaus]

Philosophically, I've attempted to explain Aquinas' statement.

Repeating the statement is not attempted explanation.

To me it was plainly obvious without the need for explanation. I would think that's the nature of philosophical propositions. They're made and are presented for critique.

You would be wrong. Making philosophical propositions without proper justification is a bad way to practice philosophy. It is the same thing as having a theory with no evidence backing it up and then asking others to disprove it.

You are free to go check up on the source, which is widely available online in many formats, and then come back here and raise your points of contention of you so wish. I don't own those claims, I merely repeat them. What I'm getting here is admonishment for not making someone else's claims understandable to those who start from a position of objection, of having a biased starting point which would naturally prevent themselves from understanding it anyway. The source is there, and with three objections to every point dealt with. Rather than bleat on repeatedly here, just go and work it out for yourself just like everyone else has to. I can't think for you.

The old "just-repeating-what-he-said" excuse.

Hey guys, did you hear, all Christians are perverts.
Proof, why no, I don't have any proof. I'm simply repeating the claim that Quran makes. The source is all there, you can go find it online and read whatever justification it gives. Its not my job to justify this proposition that I'm repeating, its up to you to critique it.
