Re: Can Atheism Stand On Its Own Two Feet?
:D You're most welcome. Ah...the evidence. I must admit to being in the view that over-whelming claims kind of need over-whelming evidence. I s'pose I might just toddle down to the fabric shop and see what colours they have available. ;) * Wonders how they should stop acting reasonable to get some g...

Re: Can Atheism Stand On Its Own Two Feet?
Take David Hume's skeptical conclusion that there 'is' no reason to believe in the existence of the external world. How is that, any different than atheism's - no reason to believe in the existence of God other than substituting Hume's the concept of world for atheism's concept of God? Well...I for...

Re: Can Atheism Stand On Its Own Two Feet?
Ah, interesting. Of course, you can add 'Which' to your list of "Who/What". ;) My point always starts from the base line that 'Existence' and thence 'nature' exist. And, since you've put your pints across that way, then yes. I do agree that those two points, taken together, seem convey the...

Re: Can Atheism Stand On Its Own Two Feet?
Dear Kurieuo. I must admit to being confused by some aspects of your last post (Also being drop dead on one's feet after many, ong days at work is admitedly not helping) BUT... When you say, For example, unless you wish to speak meaningless words, to believe "God does not exist" carries wi...

Well....I honestly admit that other than mild interest, I don't have a comment to add.
Much cheers to every one.

Re: Atheism: Belief or Position?
Sorry, I missed the above post by fluster .
Was it aimed at myself? Or a general, open question?
For my self, on the inside looking out, it's a position.

Re: Can Atheism Stand On Its Own Two Feet?
* Flicks metaphysical elastic band @ Icthus' head * I don't quite get what you mean. You say that "colour is an intrinsic part of said element in said spectrum," but this is exactly the opposite of what most materialist philosophers actually argue (that color as common sense understands it...

Re: Can Atheism Stand On Its Own Two Feet?
I don't see much wonkiness in the fifth point. The fact that what we term colour (to use your example) correlates physically with the spectrum of light does nothing to explain the phenomenon of experiencing colour itself. As one eminent philosopher once noted (why can't I remember which one?), if M...

I don't want to seem like I'm picking on you Dow (I'm not, I promise). I just happened to have some time to post, and you are the most recent responder to several active topics.
