Atheism the unscientific belief (part one, two, and three)

First look at this site.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_cat_analogy

The analogies that are made don't make much sense.
Also philosophy is a science but according to the expounder of that explanation is not in the description but then it pop up in the explanation.
A bit confusing.
Philosophy is not to be in a dark room.
On the contrary is to be in a bright place where you can see more and more clearly.  Lightbulb

Gee, it sound like you had one more terrible day Nutter.  Banghead
Hard to get enough cigarette butts these days with less and less smokers around.  Arrgghh
But don't worry mate.   Panic
Little Rik is here to help with good tips.
I can tell you where to find them in huge quantity.  Lightbulb
Just go at the road intersections where the drivers stop at the red light.  Thumb up
The smokers while stop at the red light usually open the window to get rid of the butts
so you will find tons of them but be very careful Nutter not to be run over by a vehicle.  Demon
If something would happen to you it would be a great loss to humanity.  Indubitably
We all care about you boy so be very careful.  Consoling

It depends how memorable his strong hand is.... if he's already checked enough times, regardless of how OCD he is, if he really has the ABSOLUTE NUTS and CAN'T LOSE that kind of hand is memorable as fuck, he may not need to even bother checking, I wouldn't.

Hell, if he's only checked once though, I'd definitely check again in his position.

Actually there's no harm in checking, if he's all in with the NUTS, what has he got to lose? Tongue

Fuck I love poker... winning money playing Texas Hold'em is awesome... I barely win anything because I'm playing super low stakes - but I still win consistently.

So do you play poker G-Rob? Big Grin

Yeah, I'm aware that you think so, but WHY?
To me they are perfectly valid. In what way exactly are they flawed?

How is philosophy a science?

Because you say so? Dodgy

You can't reply without just repeating what you personally believe and avoiding any substance like fire, can you -_-

Philosophy is all about love for wisdom.
But what is behind wisdom?
There got to be something or someone there that you feel attracted to.
It wouldn't make sense to love nothing or none.
Actually it would be impossible to love something that is not there that is why
an attraction always go hand in hand with at least two entities.
You can love a stone or a river or anything else but wisdom goes well behind
any finite thing because anything finite can not give wisdom.
Love can be one way like when you love a river or any material thing.
It can be two ways when there is physical love and can also be two ways when
it is spiritual love.
Wisdom is all about trying to understand who is behind this spiritual love.
Yoga on the other hand is the practical way to get there so both yoga and philosophy
require a scientific approach to understand and to proceed towards the entity of attraction.
So yes philosophy is a science that is needed to understand and to discover something.
Science is all about discovering therefore philosophy fit in this discovering and when you discover
you can not possibly be in the darkness or in your case in a dark room as the discover is light not darkness.  Lightbulb

I play on 888 poker.com I'm playing now as I use the forums actually.

I just made enough money to buy the game I wanted and withdrew the money recently. Which is kickass. It just takes up to 8 business days to process the withdrawl.

Buying the 65 percent off deal at Steam for "Age of Empires: II HD Edition + The Forgotten Expansion + The African Kingdoms expansion" for only 9 pounds.
