this is a discussion about the existence of a deity lol

2019-08-17 21:43:25 UTC  

So?

2019-08-17 21:43:46 UTC  

The main issue with the existence of god is that it’s a spiritualistic argument. So the most logical position is agnosticism

2019-08-17 21:43:47 UTC  

Should I disregard every 'traditional argument' because it regards X thing I believe to be greater than the rest of NOT X things?

2019-08-17 21:44:21 UTC  

Most atheists in practice are agnostics who assume the negative rather than default

2019-08-17 21:44:22 UTC  

that's what I was trying to get at, thank you @wiping account (DM for more info

2019-08-17 21:44:27 UTC  

it's a pointless discussion

2019-08-17 21:44:27 UTC  

Yes, I never claim to disprove god...

2019-08-17 21:44:39 UTC  

no offense Romerlin :P

2019-08-17 21:44:50 UTC  

Don't try to weasle out big boi

2019-08-17 21:44:54 UTC  

It’s only pointless when both already realize that god can’t be proven

2019-08-17 21:44:59 UTC  

I claim to argue that worshipping god is ubsurd

2019-08-17 21:45:16 UTC  

Because it can’t be proven right?

2019-08-17 21:45:35 UTC  

Yes, it can't be proven or empirically shown so why should it be humoured?

2019-08-17 21:45:52 UTC  

if something can be neither proven or disproven, it follows that any assessment should be treated as an opinion

2019-08-17 21:46:06 UTC  

until absolute evidence is found to back up either side

2019-08-17 21:46:42 UTC  

Then I suppose I'm of the opinion that all Christians are brainwashed and the tooth fairy is sucking my dick on Tuesday. Perhaps I can point towards the sins of christian society?

2019-08-17 21:47:14 UTC  

Every society has sins, that'd be a waste of typing

2019-08-17 21:47:23 UTC  

Then why do the same of any idea?

2019-08-17 21:47:28 UTC  

some worse than others, a few horrendously worse

2019-08-17 21:47:36 UTC  

Why do the same for state socialists or even statism?

2019-08-17 21:47:48 UTC  

May I direct your attention to my PFP

2019-08-17 21:47:56 UTC  

Okay..?

2019-08-17 21:48:00 UTC  

That doesn't answer my question

2019-08-17 21:48:07 UTC  

I reject the state

2019-08-17 21:48:12 UTC  

Why should you?

2019-08-17 21:48:18 UTC  

if you can't point towards what they've done wrong?

2019-08-17 21:48:23 UTC  

it's an inherently violent institution

2019-08-17 21:48:28 UTC  

and I am not a violent person :P

2019-08-17 21:48:31 UTC  

you can't do that, that'd be a waste of typing

2019-08-17 21:48:35 UTC  

'every society has sins'

2019-08-17 21:48:52 UTC  

yes, because they are made up of flawed individuals

2019-08-17 21:49:09 UTC  

Oh really? That's rich, but that's just your opinion right?

2019-08-17 21:49:15 UTC  

allowing a handful of the worst of those flawed individuals have authority over others is a travesty

2019-08-17 21:49:41 UTC  

yes, it's absolutely my opinion

2019-08-17 21:49:59 UTC  

I suppose it's all just opinion in the end, it's not like we can logically derive our course of action from our goals and have them be objectively true for said set of goals? Nah just opinion.

2019-08-17 21:50:11 UTC  

most things are subjective, yes indeed

2019-08-17 21:50:24 UTC  

**we can logically derive our course of action from our goals and have them be objectively true for said set of goals**

2019-08-17 21:51:50 UTC  

that's not objective though, it's specific to each individual's goals

2019-08-17 21:52:01 UTC  

It's an objective way of attaining ones goals..

2019-08-17 21:52:14 UTC  

Logic is a way of constructing truth conserving statements
