Atheism & Theism...A Common Denominator

[cosmictraveler]

I have evidence you don't. I didn't always have it. I know how it works.

You have faith! And that should be your right to do so.

You have faith! And that should be your eight to do so.

Some of the participants in the debate appear to be concerned about attacking their own doubts and misconceptions, by attacking a concept they have.

How quaint.

If you were that crazy person, would they be evidence to you?

That wouldn't matter, would it ?

 

[Enmos]

yeah i'm twitchin' and droolin' over here enmos!

managing an accounting department and a mid-year audit for a multi-million dollar company is really hard to do with pink elephants flying everywhere!

i'll tell you what fucker...the shit you try to talk yourself into believing about me is what's nuts.

Lori, what the fuck ? I didn't say you were crazy..
I was just making the point that crazy people have personal experiences too. And you and I know that some of what they experience is not real. Yet you somehow maintain that if one experiences something then that it is proof of that something.

 

[Lori_7]

Lori, what the fuck ? I didn't say you were crazy..

you compared my experience with god to a crazy person seeing flying pink elephants. :bawl:

 

[Enmos]

No, I didn't. See my edit.

*sniff*

 

[Enmos]

You don't see my point ?

 

[Lori_7]

You don't see my point ?

do you think i'm crazy because i perceive god?

 

[Enmos]

do you think i'm crazy because i perceive god?

No.
Now could you please reply to post 49 ?

well then you're proposing that nothing anyone experiences is real.

 

[Enmos]

No, not at all. I'm just saying that personal experience of something is in itself not proof of that something existing.

 

[Lori_7]

No, not at all. I'm just saying that personal experience of something is in itself not proof of that something existing.

i'm so confused. :facepalm:

aw, the little headrub guy. he always makes me feel better.

Ok.. bear with me.

- Do you agree that crazy people exist ?
- Do you agree that some crazy people have personal experiences of things that don't actually exist; flying pink elephants for example ?
- Do you agree that their personal experiences of flying pink elephants is not proof of the existence of flying pink elephants ?

 

[Lori_7]

No, not at all. I'm just saying that personal experience of something is in itself not proof of that something existing.

so you're saying that other people's experiences are real, just not those who experience god, or pink elephants? and the people who experience pink elephants are crazy, but the one's who experience god are not?
