you could take a gun and shoot yourself and in 5 trillion years no one will care
that's reason enough so
you're right
people like this shouldn't exist, they waste the resources of those who want to exist
but no pain means no DOPAMINE
NO SEROTONIN
other animals experience pain
and there may be other life in the universe too
"may"
absence of evidence is evidence of absence
the universe is big
and complicated
just because we haven't seen alien life
doesn't mean it doesn't exist
so I won't make an absolute statement about it
Again the burden of proof lies on the one making the claim. I can entertain hypothetical's all day but if it doesn't have evidence, there's no reason to believe in it.
I'm not making a claim really
I'm just open to the possibility
there's no belief in anything
its agnosticism
god may or may not exist = agnostic
god does not exist = atheist
Incorrect.
god does exist = theist
Agnosticism = the existence of a deity / deities cannot be proven nor disproven.
^
It's a position of knowledge, that's all.
that's a stupid way of thinking
how would you know if something could not be proven or disproven
You can be an agnostic atheist, but most people who call themselves agnostics are fence sitters
that pretend "both sides are ridiculous"
Gnostic = thinks the existence of a deity can be proven
Agnostic = thinks the existence of a deity cannot be proven
theist = believes in a deity that is apart of a religion or/and involved
atheist = disbelief in all deities
no one uses the term agnostic in the way in which you just defined it
By the criteria of evidence....
except a small group of people
You have to dive into epistemology.
if that is the "correct" definition
@lemoncookie They don't, but a lot of people misuse the word "libertarian"
as well
You can be a libertarian socialist
