Aren’t we the Godlike pretender. Someone who professes to know the nature of unknowable things, like the actual qualities of a god they can’t perceive, or a person they have little personal knowledge of.
Dude.
If you didn't know it (even if it is only a half-arsed trickle down version of revelation/enlightenment, etc percolated from the caricatures of atheist hate sites) you wouldn't be able to charade it.
My whole point has simply been that your whole schtick is half arsed because your source material is half arsed.
Everything you’ve presented to defend your position has been considered and logically rejected.
You can't even name the relevant keywords to search for it on google, much less consider it.
And logically reject it?
Pfffft!
Staunchly rejecting the very notion of examining religious claims is vastly different from logically rejecting such claims.
Its a task simply unavailable to one who hasn't, can't and won't investigate such claims.
Just to be clear, this isn't atheist bashing. This is bashing the willfully ignorant version of atheism you have your heart sold on representing.
Obviously it paves the way.
If you want to employ special pleading and a divide between subject/object it paves the way for anything and everything.
That's why such means are deemed fallacies of argument.
If you have the capacity to adequately assume a prescribed role, you can appear legitimate. Those are the cards you dealt me with an omnimax God, where I can be anything and retain my legitimacy. As you move down the evolutionary scale it gets harder to pull off.
By the same brilliant means, you can also be a shit throwing monkey who is the president and so on and so forth.
I didn't grant you special pleading and a subject/object divide. You own that stupid.
Yet here we are, with you no closer to making a justifiable case for how you can know God. Apparently I haven’t cornered the market on stupid.
I would agree that a resolute determination to remain wilfully ignorant of philosophy and history, coupled with the inability to launch arguments outside of fallacies does bestow a monopoly of sorts ...
The question wasn’t how some historical figure acquired their knowledge of God, but how did you personally come by yours. Everyone is still waiting on that one.
In order to attempt to pull off your charade, you were already consulting half-arsed, trickled down, percolated versions of religious philosophy and history.
That's where you got your knowledge from.
My only gripe is that you were insisting on maintaining a dumb version of it, which inevitably delivers a dumb version of atheism ... especially when argued through dumb logical fallacies.
Jehovah Witnesses on your doorstep will give you a personal account of their acquisition of divine knowledge, but you continually refuse to do likewise.
You continually portray such statements as if they contain some deep complex significance, but they really don’t. It must be frustrating for you when your points of discussion are less interesting than the behavior of a buffoonish TV character.
Done already.
You weren't interested.
Horses, water and all that.
