Pissing off the atheists/naturalists

[Skepdick]

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.

He is busy trying to commit one for sure... moving the goal posts.

probably not.

Surely as a fence-sitter such as yourself it would make sense to weigh the evidence as being 50/50?

To say probably not; or probably yes amounts to getting off the fence.

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

You are contradicting yourself.

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?

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?

Well, Skepdick and I were discussing how much evidence it would take for both of us to formulate a belief. I admitted that I don't have a particular weight of balance that causes me to believe one way or another. Skepdick then claimed that his decision making is so accurate that a shift of one sextillionth from 50/50 is enough for him to make his mind up. This is a claim so preposterous that I compared it to Skepdick being knocked off the fence by a bee fart at 40 paces. This is the actual moment:

I can count while I am sitting on the fence without falling off. My sixtillienth didn't make it 49/51. It's still 50/50.

But a bumble bee's fart at 40 paces is enough to blow you off.

Skepdick has confirmed his claim:

A bee fart would sway me - (future tense)

Presumably realising just how ridiculous that makes him, he has since been trying to claim that a bee fart is relative but, naturally, only a bee fart counting wanker, who lives in his mum's basement knows enough about maths to understand that some bee farts are truly spectacular:

(49/51) / (ω ^ ω) is approaching a paradigm where the multiverse is The Bee God's fart.

If that sort of bollocks fools you, then you are free to believe that Skepdick has supernatural counting skills, and I'm just a dumb philosopher.

When is he going to try to "PISS OFF ATHEISTS"?
Iguessing I should not hold my breath?

Well supernatural counting skills are off the table, but Skepdick is clearly a sensitive little sausage with regard to what he finds upsetting:

Are you sure it's atheists who are getting pissed off?

Well, look. If pointing out that you are lying doesn't piss you off then nothing will.

Lying doesn't upset you? Now there's a one-of-a-kind philosopher!

And Willus ignoramus still insists that 49/51 is the exact quantity of a bee fart at 40 paces. I guess he measured it. 49/51 of what exactly?

Well 49/51 of whatever he needs to make his argument work.

I totally misjudged the audience.

I thought that when you pretend to be doing philosophy you actually cared about being held accountable to some minimalistic set of rules.

Like intellectual honesty. I must have confused philosophy for science...

[Will Bouwman]

I think we've pissed off Skepdick.

I think we've pissed off Skepdick.

I'd know it if you had. Are you projecting?

[Skepdick]

I now declare this forum both intellectually and morally bankrupt.

He's a true believer in .. er whatever.
