Life isn't difficult to define. The reason it's not so difficult to define is because of how rare it is. You speak of consciousness when you speak for I-ness. Is-ness is what I-ness speaks for our less-than-self-conscious lifeforms and objects.
Life is possibility. Conscious or not, it...
He isn't the only one. If I recall, I'm the one who originally brought up the ridiculousness of "Heinz Height." At first, I thought it was a joke. Then you provided backstory, subjective though it may have been; which even then was humorous. But now you're arguing that you've offered...
I can claim the "analogy" of a flying turd, that doesn't mean my claim holds any existential merit. The point he was making is simply, Heinz Height is NOT a phrase. Just because one crazy world issues teacher (with apparent issues of his/her own) used it, doesn't make it "real" in any cultural...
Ooo! Oo!! I don't care! :) Oh wait, also, I wasn't talking about satanism as being the unsubstantiated adversary. I was talking of atheism...that's all I got left...
While I agree that labels are ridiculous; I'll refrain from taking said advice from someone who has his own label. Atheist's only label exists because we are, as the definition implies, FREE OF DEITIES. It's not a label so much as, we're free from labels. We are A=not...
Now you're starting to annoy me. :P
You're assuming that by being the default adversary of a ridiculously unsubstantiated claim, I've somehow involved myself in said argument? No. And maybe, in this way, atheism and satanism are alike. There's no WANTING to be part of anything as an atheist...
Ah! I want to go to bed! Why do we assume that atheists ever assumed a label? I'd be just as happy without the damn label. I don't care about it. In fact, all atheists wouldn't give a crap about being apart of some club of non-believers. There is no trust. We don't have large, ornate buildings...
Lol. Man. I am now drunk, but I'll continue, dammit! But this is my last response.
NOOO!!!! Atheists don't BELIEVE ANYTHING TO BE TRUE!!!! They don't believe ANYTHING. It's the theists that believe something to be true, and by default, we non-believers are sucked into the nonsense. We do not...
You're right in your definition of denial being similar to rejection. But my response regarded your comment on proof. Denying...or rejecting...does NOT require proof. Especially when considering who's doing the denying/rejecting; the scientific journal. If theists could provide adequate proof, a...
I can't begin to tell you how wrong you are. An opinion of self-gratification is one thing. I don't like sleeping on the floor. It's straight. It doesn't contour to my body. It's TERRIBLE. However, it's not that I like NOT believing in a god...I simply don't. I don't wish to speak down to...
