Frankenstein monster is kinda like Trans folks or people
|
This thread in a nutshell: Some troll writes some incoherent nonsense that contains the word “transgender”, so some members try to discuss about transgender people and their inclusion in society. Then comes Boru and writes some nonsense giving perhaps the impression that he is aware that this whole topic is nonsense and that he may close it, but not. Then comes Belacqua, who is taking the subject of the topic into trying to prove to us that atheists accept the so-called subjective evidence and ultimately accept that god exists because the only “evidence” for god is the subjective one. Indeed, one of the first discussions that I had with a theist on this forum was him claiming that people who feel god exists should be taken seriously because people who feel they are different gender are taken seriously.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

That's it in a nutshell, it's a false equivalence that equates all beliefs as equally subjective, and requiring the same burden of proof, so claiming to own a pair of shoes, has the same epistemological burden of proof as claiming to own an invisible pet dragon. Of course it's using trans people as a schill for this tired old canard in apologetics. Note the phrase burden of proof here is not meant to mean literally proof, as this is for mathematics and logic. It merely suggests a point at which it would be unreasonable to withhold belief.
The most important thing about this thread is watching Bel in action. Bel will look for any whackaloon that logs in and posts some nonsense. He then buddies up to them in his desperate attempt to be part of his all important idea of an "in-group". This is because he won't have real conversations with anyone on this forum and is only here to point out how awful the rest of the members are though he really, really wants to part of this "in-group".
This is classic Bel jumps in to aid the new guy no matter what. And to let us know how sub-standard we are compared to his uber-intellect and his ability to read and vomit back what he has read as he hasn't an original thought. The potential trolls give off their pheromones and Bel starts to salivate. RE: Frankenstein monster is kinda like Trans folks or people

I respectfully beg your minuscule pardon? To what nonsense of mine are you referring? Boru
