If you do not wish to explain to me why you think my philosophy is gobbledegook then that's fine by me, if you do, I'll be here to listen and respond.
I don’t have to, you explain it yourself. All I need to do is refer to it.

In such a philosophy, once you made your statement, there is nothing more to be said. Silence should ensue.

I see these ‘ideas’ as puerile rebellions against the possibility of meaning something or anything. A philosophy of nothing explains itself. Anti-idea essentially.

If that assertion gets you where you wish to go, stick with it.

It will take you to sheer negation, in my view.

Anti-idea.

And metaphysics has constructed the world we live in, from top to bottom.

No, you are wrong, these ideas simply do not negate or deny or rebel against the possibility of meaning or anything. They simply clarify the the true nature of the mind. But then I guess, you would say that wouldn't you, and to be fair, it was a very predictable thing to say.

But stamp collecting is an actual event, it's actually something tangible that can be studied.

Metaphysics is pure woo, it's abstact in idea, not tangible. It's a mental construction. Not a physical experience.
The only advantage to metaphysics is that you can get more of it in your album than with stamps.

No, not negation, no such thing as negating philosophy is possible.

Again, more rejection of what I am saying, the response was inevitable, so predictable.

It works both ways. Especially if we are talking about the same thing, the disbelief belief in GOD or the nature of this GOD

The concept and nature of 'God'
God's attributes: God as omniscient, omnipotent, supremely good (omnibenevolent), and the meaning(s) of these divine attributes. competing views on such a being's relationship to time, including God being timeless (eternal) and God being within time (everlasting).

If that's the case, and metaphysics is God, then what else is there to say about anything?

It's all God, God did it. End of, end off all human knowledge.

I can’t reject what you say because nothing is nothing.

At this point all that you will say, and can say from this point on, will be gobbledegook. Its a game really. And it doesn’t interest me.

My effort is just to point these things out.

Then stop playing games and become an adult, AJ! Think of what you are "playing" and why you are "playing" it. Not everyone here is playing a "game". Some are just looking for oxygen and you're sucking it all up. Consider that my last favor to you, unless you change your tune. You are truly intolerable sometimes!!!

Oh, AJ. I see you present on the forum. The longer you "think" the more wrong you become. Make your choice, will you stop the war in Ukraine?

Here's an idea ... stop talking about each other and simply discuss issues, impersonally.

Even fleeing from the forum is a choice, AJ. You cannot hide forever while you yourself claim to watch a war on your screen where real living human beings are being reduced to piles of flesh. Do you see that on your screen, AJ? And think of all the farmland that once produced food for others being destroyed and laid to ruin in an act of vain personal "revenge" (to use a word you youself posted). What you do to others, you don't even truly know except through a video screen. Do you think the imaginary "radiation" that you claim to "feel" in your liver is going to save you from the starving of the world? Do you think it will save ANY OF US???? What you choose, AJ. What you, choose. :evil:

Do you have children, AJ?

This is between AJ and I. We will sort it out. However, I appreciate your concern.

Send him a DM.

What does this have to do with atheism or philosophy?
