Lol. Theism is a subset of deism. I am a theist, and therefore a deist......
Please..at least try to be less of a disingenuous cretin? Unless your theistic beliefs don't deserve as much, in which case, by all means, shit on islam all day?
Quote:I didn't mention Islam/theism because it may be falsifiable. Islam is based on many core texts and sayings of the prophet, and so can be falsified if one verse or saying is somehow falsified.Falsifiable by reference to what? Does it make empirical claims which either you..as an issue of personal skill..cannot back up...or which, as a matter of fact in mere reality, cannot be backed up?
Quote:Okay, then. Let's apply your wrong rule : I see no footprints of Nudger in my house, Nudger doesn't exist.Oh, idk, you're talking to me as though I exist. Seems like my feet may have left tracks on your mind. You do have a point, though you probably don't realize what it is,....are you certain that the thing you call nudger, and all of the specifics you would assert as contained within that header..actually do exist?
And this rule or aphorism is actually cited in the literature in the terms I used.

I can tell you with certainty that this claim would be doomed in equal measure and for all of the same reasons as your theistic god claim is doomed. Would you like to know more? I feel like I need to point out that, at this point, you're arguing against this fictional character nudgers insistence that you agree with yourself. Are you fucking insane..or just confused?
