I'm not sure why the statement would be brought up. That itself makes no sense.

@anonymously99stwin,
I'd me in pain to do so if such was my inclination.

I'm not a ghost yet..

@anonymously99stwin,
Well, I wouldn't.

I can imagine things a lot more enticing to haunt..

Fresco. How would you feel if I said I believed you have a golden halo hovering above your head and a red tail with an arrow at the end attached to your rear end?


I would feel that I was correct in my decision to have you on"ignore".

To be fair Frank can understand the statement, but not its major implications for the meaning of words like "existence" and "reality" which are essentially predicated on "what matters to particular humans at moments in history".

Explain to me how "There are no gods" is anything but a blind guess?

State what might constitute the universally definitive "evidence" for "the existence of a god". You can't and nor can anybody else !
The consequence is that the statement "God exists" is absolutely correct for believers with or without what they might consider to be "evidence". The corollary "there are no gods for atheists" is absolutely correct for those have no requirement for the concept of a nebulous divinity." Guessing" does not come into it and no amount of vacuous wittering about "the true nature of reality" which is even more nebulous than "a God concept" is going to allow for the word "guess" to be appropriate. You are stuck in an infinite regress of vacuous semantic platitudes.





Get over yourself, Fresco...and when you get a chance...explain why "There are no gods" is not a blind guess.

I can understand that with no trouble at all.

Not sure why you had to pretend I would have any trouble with it.

But why don't you try the question I've asked Fresco?

@Frank Apisa,
Timur's jealous of you Frank Apisa.

And fresco is continuously arguing with himself.

It just tells me that my first statement stands.

You don't understand that there's his no guess, let alone blind guess.

Your logic is not mine, we are not on the same perception level.

And I find yours lacking substance and thought.

But as you say, what is..is..(even though it makes no sense to me).

Of course it's senseless. The word "guess" is being inappropriately used like in a statement such as "golf is boring, is just a blind guess".

Your first statement has nothing to do with someone saying, "There are no gods."

I do understand that a person saying "There are no gods"...IS MAKING A BLIND GUESS.

You apparently do not.

Logic is logic.

If you find what I say to be lacking in thought and substance...avoid it. I do not find your logic lacking in thought and substance...and because I disagree with you on some things, I do not feel disposed to pretend I do.

Sorry that the statement "What IS...IS" makes no sense to you.

It makes lots of sense.
