Argument for atheism from impossible actions
#6
RE: Argument for atheism from impossible actions
This argument isn't particularly strong, because it presupposes that only materialistic mechanisms for action are possible. We know no others, but that doesn't mean that we can say there aren't any a priori.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
