Welcome Rex

You sound dull.

Thinking
Quote: I also did a years' research with published work in a journal. I am acknowledged in a recent book on Kant. I am a teacher and lecturer. Let's not compare dicks mate.
Of course you are
Quote:I don't find atheists' ethics 'quite well developed', I find them cherry picked from various sources that don't necessarily fit together well. In fact, I don't find there to be a credible atheist 'way of thinking' and that's the reason for the discussion: because I feel there should be if what atheists say always already has socialised consequences (and nobody has contradicted me on this so far). This is the main reason I find atheists to be philosophically lacking. As I have mentioned, the symptom of this is the belief that we can build our lives around simple descriptive truths about the physical universe and forget the complexity of human need. I'm glad you would stop at telling someone about to die that there is nothing waiting for them, but I wonder where you do draw the line.

This is just a stream of consciousness. there is no argument here.


if you are actually educated in philosophy then make your arguments into proper ones -premise conclusions etc If you don;t Ill know you are just making it up Unless of course you were into that Continental drivel where you can make everything up as you go along.


Quote:My worry is that in order to know where to 'draw the line' at insisting on [quote]cosmological accuracy (i.e. this is a universe without a God or any purposiveness, no anthropomorphism), one has to know very well the person to whom one is talking. Without knowing what effect brutish (there's that word again!) truth-facepalmery (a new term for you) has on people, it seems childish to insist on undeveloped perspectives. That is, to me. And I say this not to insist that you agree but in the hope that you can understand it.

I really don;t understand you at all

You present garbled nonsense, Rex. Such a great philosopher. Might as well burn those degrees.

To the trolls: eat my shorts.
Honestly, I think my Uni education stopped me from futile gestures on da interwebz (this being my first post anywhere in months, and before then possibly years ago). Good luck with that.

As for the present moment I think I had something to say. "there's no argument here" says the French guy, whilst others poke their ad hominems out of their blouses.
However.
I'm pissed off with atheists thinking they have the right way to approach religious people (and other atheists of course), and it shouldn't be that way. There's something fundamentally human missing from their humanism. This is a real concern for anyone who wants to read the OP and contribute. If not I'll enjoy your trolling anyway, I'm far too pissed off with atheisms to really think that I could be pissed off with trolls! So a couple of things,

Psykhronic, it looks like you put your degree inside that cat's bottom.
Neko, anyone that uses 'whore' in their title for people to see is dull as frickin dishwater, guaranteed. You could also mention drugs and show a complete lack of personality, if you want. Now's your chance (though I think someone beat you to it on page 2?)

I don't have a degree! So what you said means nothing to me, nice try though.

Seriously, you come here with stupid judgments and are surprised by the results? Get the fuck off the internet, son. I don't even remember anyone ever saying they have the 'right way' to approach religious people on this forum. I also do not remember 'humanism' necessitating atheism.

Has to be a troll.

I think most adults know not to judge too quickly as it often leads to embarrassments and misunderstandings, and yet this one strolls in here, calls everyone brutish and backwards and then tries to convince us that he wants a dialogue and is a lecturer? lol?

French ROFLOL I thought you were educated! You write Canadian English but can't recognise French?

This is our home. You approached us. Since when do you have the authority to tell us how we are to approach religious people?

Quote:There's something fundamentally human missing from their humanism.


tell us exactly what it is without rambling you claim to have a degree in Philosophy yet we have yet to see a logical argument come from you

Remember, it's not hard to graduate from clown college. I hear they're even giving PhD's out nowadays.
