One can't have a squared circle if they accept logic into their hearts Wink

I've seen it myself, since I don't hold onto your fairytale faith in logic. A true skeptic. That's what I am.

And why not let people play word games? Such is fun ^_^

A certain debate between yourself and Ryft clearly illustrates the evils of "word games".



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!

Logic is a thing. It is three rules.

If that is the case do u accept logic as truth? If so, why?

A = A. (Identity)
A ≠ not A. (Contradiction)
A must be either A or not A. (Excluded Middle)

And this is either taken on faith to be true (and hence mathematics are also true)... or it is taken to be not true (and hence scientists are smoking the crack-rock, or flarp)

And there is this thing called tautology (identity). Cheese is cheese by tautology. It cannot be not cheese. It cannot be a third option.

And logic has only itself to support itself Smile


sorry i just realized all I did was quite you saerules. But your post confused the hell out of me. are you saying we take logic by faith? I thought we depend on logic because it works. I mean, that when we apply logic to situations in order to figure them out, they come out true. Sorry , this is over my head but as I said your post confused me.
If I die and god is real, im so screwed.

One either accepts logic as a basis, or they don't. And if they do it is entirely on faith Smile

I don't use logic because it's true. I don't know that is it. I only know it creates results that I like. The use of logic is a personal preference.

Those who decide they like how things are in the Muslim world or how things were in the Christian world during the Dark Ages are welcome to try the alternative, just so long as I don't have to live in their world.

Not sure that counts as a debate. It's entirely onesided Heart

*Most people take logic on faith as being the reality of the cosmos.
*We do depend on logic for every mathematical and scientific purpose.
*Truth is a joke.

Is it so confusing that faith isn't wretched and evil and deserving of being burned? Smile

It isn't the faith Sae, it's the Faithful.

And don't worry bud, it's Sae's intention to confuse.

Rather, you mean it is the religious faithful that are so only by indoctrination placed upon them from an early age.

Rayaan, Ryft, Tacky, Fr0d0... those people aren't problems at all Smile

It would seem you have misidentified my intention. My intention is to have fun. Smile
