@hingehead,
Both are silly guesses about the unknown...asserted by people who should know better.

@edgarblythe,
Least I can do for someone who apparently has trouble remembering it, Edgar.

Well, frank; I told you I understand about the guesses. I don't know how I can be more cooperative.

@edgarblythe,
I think you are being very cooperative.

I think I am being cooperative also.

If I had to guess, I would guess that reasonableness equals atheism. Why a 21ST Century person would step back into magic that doesn't even work is a puzzle to me.

@edgarblythe,
If the "atheism" in question is just agnosticism disguised with the use of the word "atheism"...I would agree.

There is absolutely nothing reasonable about asserting there are no gods, Edgar...just as there is absolutely nothing reasonable about asserting there are.

Can we discuss this calmly and respectfully...as I asked in my first post in this thread?

I would love to do that.

Guesses. Magic or what's before you. Some guess.

Most persons these days disbelieve in all forms of magic, except one. The one is no more logical or in play, provably, than the rest. It is unnecessary, and was invented by persons who had no science or guidance beyond personal experience and perhaps oral tradition. Some are reluctant to cast this last vestige of magic to the curb for the same reasons people knock on wood or avoid stepping on cracks. There is that gnawing doubt that superstition could be the real thing. A doubt planted in a brainwashing that began in childhood.

@edgarblythe,
The guesses of people who guess there are no gods in REALITY...are just as silly and unreasonable as the guesses they scorn by those who guess there are.

As for:

What is "before you", Edgar?

What is "before you" that indicates there are no gods in REALITY?

The notion that some guesses are less guesses than others is an absurdity.

But we can discuss it reasonably...or you can just do what you are doing here.

Anyone who supposes that the assertion "there are no gods" is founded in logic or science...is kidding him/herself.

There may be no gods. But that CANNOT be derived logically or "from science."

Any "gnawing doubt" about that issue is not the result of brainwashing, Edgar.

It is the result of logic telling you that you do not know the true nature of the REALITY of existence...and that any assertions "there are gods" or "there are no gods" are nothing more than blind guesses made by people who refuse to look at the issue without the blind prejudice that causes them to suppose their guess is fact.

I suppose if one is willing to guess in favor of stupidity or ignorance, guessing may be valid.

@edgarblythe,
Yesterday, for a brief second, I thought I was perhaps experiencing the Holy Spirit in all her glory. Turns out I just needed to sneeze. False alarm. My bad. Nothing new to report.

@tsarstepan,
Watch them sneezes. Your spirit is expelled by the force of the sneeze and if nobody is there to say God bless you you are screwed.

Any guess such as you make often...that there are no gods involved in REALITY...is born of ignorance, Edgar.

You ought stop posting pictures of dogs in favor of...

A bewildered I can only guess and so can you is so wrong. Either you believe in magic or you don't. Simple.

Unlike you, Edgar...I do not do "believing."

Casper the friendly ghost is as real as guessing that magic is real. Preposterous. I choose the real world, not Mickey Mouse guessing and magic.
