Then according to standard usage, you believe it.
Quote:No I do not "believe" it. It is my opinion...if you choose, but I suspect most reasonable, intelligent people would agree that it is inherently true. So I know it.
Quote:I get that you don't like the word believe, but your opinions don't dictate the meaning of a word; usage does.
If you are telling me that I cannot have opinions or make guesses without calling them "beliefs, I am going to have to tell you to fuck off. Don't do it.
I do have opinions...and I do make guesses...and I do make estimates...
...but I call them opinions, guesses, and estimates.
They are not "beliefs" and you do not get to tell me they are.
Quote:Now, do you have a good justification for thinking that this is true? Your justifications so far have been invalid. Incredulity and ipse dixit arguments only suggest you're a bit unintelligent.If, after the conversation we are having you think I am a bit unintelligent...you are a jerkoff. Don't get me wrong, I do not mind talking with jerkoffs. So please do continue to ramble.
Quote:Why should someone who doesn't share your view adopt your view?What the hell are you talking about?
I am saying that "There are no gods" is a negative assertion of such universal scope that there is no way to verify it. Therefore no humans can KNOW there are no gods.
Jesus H. Christ, Angrboda...call the nearest university to you and ask to speak with a logician from their philosophy department...and present that comment to him/her. The logician will agree with gusto.
I'm sorry you apparently are not mentally equipped to understand all that, but it is so.

No, I cannot. But as Justice Potter Stewart said about pornography, "I now it when I see it."
"There are no gods" fits it.

Quote:[quote pid='2046568' dateline='1624896204']I'm sure there are many. Think on it yourself...and maybe you can come up with something. I'm not jumping through hoops for you.
Does any other question fit in that space or exist beyond that boundary, and....if so.... what...?
