It does get boring that he won't answer questions but I don't understand myself as talking to him but those others who may read him. As he's promoting against philosophy and for not thinking and thought on a philosophy forum I find it always best to oppose such as him as it may look like that there is no argument against his idiocy.

It's entertaining that you have not the slightest clue what I'm talking about.

It's entertaining that even though I've written 456,873 billion words on aphilosophy, you continually continually continually claim you aren't getting enough.

And then when I do write more and more and more, you then claim it doesn't belong here, and should have never been typed.

The two of you, Tweedledum and Tweedledumber.

Ok, put'em up!! Let's take this out to the parking lot!! BULLOCKS!! FANTASY DRIVEL!!! UNFOUNDED PREMISE, AND ILLOGICAL MATH EQUATIONS!!!

The question makes me smile and reminds me of the question about having the desire to let go of desire.

Catch 22?

Then I beg the privilege to contribute because I agree with your aims.

Apparently not, as he's always begging me to say more crazy shit to him.

Trouble is, you are either to stupid, too scared of the truth; too stubborn; too proud to admit you are wrong; or, most likely, too devious and self deluded to have a fair and decent conversation.

He's constantly complaining, not enough crazy shit, not enough crazy shit, not enough crazy shit, not enough crazy shit etc.

That is not the nature of his complaint. You are not engaging with the issues.

Aphilosphy is meaningless bullshit, and more of it is not better. More shit is just more shit.

The foolish often express the truth when they think they present irony.

I recall about a million years ago (when I was slightly younger than today) a wonderful NY artist by the name of Elly Stone singing a song called "Song for Old Lovers," which contains the line: "We told the truth -- what truth we knew!"

Don't we all...

No. Lack of belief is just that. A lack of belief.

The moment you decide on a point of view for which there is little or no evidence...perhaps that there is a God, or perhaps that there is 'no God', well now you have a belief.

I can vote for this.

Our atheist friends will now declare they have no point of view on this matter, no opinion, no conclusions, and that they've never given the matter any thought whatsoever, and that their posts were written by space aliens from the planet Xeon26.
