Quote from killthesunshine:
what you fail to grasp..
atheists believe in the rules of evidence and reason. rationality.
to claim i don't believe in "ghosts", or unicorms or gremlins or (insert any nonsense here) is to say I believe in the rational, in the rules of evidence because those rules are forged in 10's of 1000's of years of experience and reflective thought.
YOU, on other hand are caught up in some semantic bullshit from which has trapped your mind, your soul and from which you can never escape. and will hamper you throughout your life. look past the words to the MEANING! :eek:
I'm not failing to grasp anything moron.
I know what belief is and I have a general idea what you consider evidence.
Problem is I accept evidence that you summarily dismiss that's why it's a "belief" on both sides of the equation.
Unfortunately for you , you seem to be under the impression that everything that you believe or accept as true has been subjected to the rigors of evidence which you demand here and that there is only 1 universally accepted answer.
That my friend is patently false, thirty years ago scientists were convinced we were in a new ice age and stomach ulcers were caused by stress.
Today it's global warming and known bacteria
Please explain the rigorous scientific proof that liberalism, and Keynesian economics is correct or any other philosophy on life issues?
