Or perhaps, as others have proposed, metaphysical theories have truth-values, but it is impossible to find out what they are."

Sounds like it all might just be mental masturbation and in the end amount to nothing.
That's right. I think every student of metaphysics knows that much of it will never be proved.
Why does that make it not worth our time?
Are you such a Puritan that you hate masturbation?
If every student knows it then why do you continue like it will come to some end where you will succeed? We know your metaphysical position(s) and have dismissed it/them as lacking.
I like masturbation just fine. But your demonstrated need to go on and on about one topic, metaphysics/god/religion, seems to be some form of cerebral narcissism.
I know that you believe you're better than me/most. That's why you constantly name drop.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
