Pissing off the atheists/naturalists

[Skepdick]

Do you have an objective metric for where the fence is; or are you just being a dumb philosopher?

If those are the only options, then I am just being a dumb philosopher.

Here's my objective metric for where my fence is: monad(0.5)

Hence:

Belief: Either: A > B OR B > A

So: A+bee fart > B therefore Skepdick, the bee fart counting wanker, believes A
OR B+bee fart > A therefore Skepdick, the bee fart counting wanker, believes B

And:

This is a principled statement. IF. Conditional.

That's right Skepdick. IF a bee fart blew your way, it would knock you off the fence. You keep affirming the very thing you are denying. You can only do that if you are completely batshit crazy.

Willus Ignoramus.

IF is a conditional/computational statement.

Why are you failing to grasp the sheer magnitude of the "bee fart" in proportion to the size of the fence?

I can only explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.

Right. And you have already told me what would happen in the event of that condition being met:

A bee fart would sway me - (future tense)

I suspect it is a symptom of your personality disorder that prevents you from seeing what utter bollocks you are writing.

Moving away from the abstract, could you give me a a concrete example of such an event - an event that would meed the condition. In proportion to the size of fence.

I suspect the "bollocks" you have in mind is all occupuing the space between your ears.

Is your balance so precarious that 49/51 would topple you?

Here is where you begin pretending that when you said 49/51 you had a really tiny and insignificant event in mind; instead of something infinite orders of magnitude larger than our universe.

Bollocks:

X=Y is suspension of judgment
X > Y is a judgment.
X < Y is a judgment.

And:

A bee fart would sway me - (future tense)

Bollocks to your bollocks.

49.000...1/51.999..9 wouldn't topple me.
49.000...2/51.999..8 wouldn't topple me.
49.000...3/51.999..7 wouldn't topple me.
49.000...4/51.999..6 wouldn't topple me.
....
49.9/51.1 wouldn't topple me.

But 49/51 just breaks the camel's back.

49.000...1/51.999..9 = monad(0.5)
49.9/51.1 = monad(0.5)
49/51 < monad(0.5)

You have zero sense or intuition about proportion.

I can only explain it to you. I can't understand it for you.

[Will Bouwman]

You have zero sense or intuition about proportion.

Ha!

A bee fart would sway me - (future tense)

[Skepdick]

And? Is a bee fart infinitesimally small or infinitely large?

Zero sense of proportion. Q.E.D

[Will Bouwman]

I think he's got it!

...the English meaning of "bee fart" (connoting small and insignificant)...

Oops, he dropped it.

Is a bee fart infinitesimally small or infinitely large?

[Skepdick]

Is a bee fart infinitesimally small or infinitely large?

So close, yet so far.

He thinks connotation denotes objective size.

What an idiot.

[promethean75]

I think the volume of flatulence would be much different between bee species due to their varying sizes. Are we talking about a bumblebee or like a smaller yellow jacket?

Ha! "small and insignificant" relative to what?

I’m getting dizzy, reviewing the thread to find out what the significance of the bee fart analogy is. Would anyone care to explain it for me?

And the light turns on... but I doubt anybody's home yet.

Willus Ignoramus fell of the fence-sitter's fence.

Now he's trying to recover with the usual, predictable language games/impotent philosophical bait-and-switch traps.

[promethean75]

If that's the case, would u be so kind Mr. Bouwman as to commit a few informal fallacies as well? I very much enjoy red herrings, strawmen, ad hom and especially moving the goal posts.
