Wow I mean wow, how wrong can one man be.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

In Waldork's case there is no knowledge or reasoning so a non-existent god could well be his model.

The rest of us are stuck with the real world, though. No room for fucking gods.

I cannot argue that your viewpoints apply only to your own view of reality, but that's such a lonely place to be.

Having no criteria from which to to distinguish existance from non-existance, it doesn't sound like a reality at all! I'm not sure he knows how to recognize whether or not he's in a real place or one that doesn't exist, to him...one is not discernible from the other.

Try to postulate a purely non-Christian and naturalistic epistemology and we can certainly find out. :-P

You have no clue what the real world is.

Without being able to explain how you can trust your senses, your memory, induction, your ability to reason, and the laws of deductive logic you have no criteria for reality; you’ve adopted a view of reality that is utterly indefensible. The funniest part is that you were so busy trying to defend your self-refuting and therefore false criteria for truth and reality that you never bothered to ask me if I had a criteria or not. The fact your criteria utterly fails does not prove that I do not have a logically coherent and cogent criteria; such arrogance amongst fools.

Valiantly thou you might try to stuff some minuscule amount of enlightenment between his bible addled ears, there would simply be no brain there to receive them.

All Bible believers are brainless? You sound so ridiculous when you say things like that. You should actually try to defend your position for once; we both know that you cannot and that’s why you resort to this form of coping mechanism.

Fortunately for bible believers, you aren't "all" of them. Though it would be nice if you were, granted.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The original comment was not directed at me. All Bible believers do believe the Bible though.

Christians do not have a monopoly on epistemology.
