A Light Going Out

Posted: Tue Nov 07, 2023 3:09 pm
by Gary Childress
Philosophy used to be interesting and a breath of fresh air. Now it seems to be dominated by theists who slip in every form of fallacious premise that can be coned out of the English language. And there seem to be loads of apologists for those who practice that in philosophy. You people create darkness wherever you settle. Do you ever get tired of choking free thought?

If there truly is a God, then I hope you all will get what you deserve, what you have fostered in the world, a medieval, gothic world of "sin" and punishment, of retribution and revenge.

Enjoy.

If TO 'you' here "gary childress", then okay. I do NOT SEE what 'you' DO here.

TO 'me' 'this' here is NOT even A POSSIBILITY in regards to ACTUAL 'philosophy', itself. But, 'you' do have a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VERSION OF 'philosophy' than I DO, right?

WHY did the word 'apologist' become SO POPULAR, and be expressed in a way as though being a so-called 'apologist' is somehow a WRONG or NEGATIVE 'thing', in the days when this is being written?

The ACTUAL ANSWER MIGHT SURPRISE SOME OF 'you', here.

DO 'you', "gary childress", create a so-called 'darkness' where 'you' go, or settle?

As far as I am concerned, that is the best statement I have seen from you Kropotkin.

Age should be kicked off the forum IMO.

K: I am not in favor of ''kicking'' Age off the forum... people should
have the right to say whatever they want, no matter how idiotic it might be,
but we should see Age as being a negative to philosophy...
Age brings nothing into this forum or into philosophy at large...mostly
because Age never actually says anything... just a random series of
questions that upon reflections, mean and say nothing....
I don't mind questions but at least ask intelligent questions..
and Age does not do that...

If one WANTS TO NOT APPEAR as AN IDIOT, then BEST 'they' back up AND support what 'they' CLAIM IS TRUE. And, TO DO 'this' FULLY 'that one' NEEDS to DEFINE some of the words that 'they' USED IN THE CLAIM, IN 'the way' that 'they' ARE LOOKING AT and USING 'those words'.

So, TO START 'this' OFF "peter kropotkin", 'What does the word 'philosophy' word here MEAN or REFER TO, EXACTLY, TO 'you'?

LET 'us' SEE HOW, EXACTLY, 'we' SHOULD BE SEEING "age" AS SUPPOSEDLY BEING A 'negative' TO, the whole of, 'philosophy', itself.

AFTER, if 'you' EVER DO, 'you' EXPLAIN HOW 'you' DEFINE the 'philosophy' word here, then 'you' CAN START DEFINING the 'negative' word here, AND EXPLAIN 'negative' in RELATIONSHIP TO 'what', EXACTLY.

SHOW 'us', and thus LET 'us' SEE, how what 'you' SAY here now, IN REPLY, IS NOT IDIOTIC, AT ALL.

SO, 'i', SUPPOSEDLY, START OUT BRINGING ABSOLUTELY NO 'thing', into this forum, NOR into the whole of 'philosophy', itself, (whatever this actually means), BUT THEN, ACTUALLY, 'i' DO BRING SOME 'thing', A LITTLE... SOME TIMES.

If SELF-CONTRADICTORY TERMS, in VERY SHORT SENTENCES, is NOT AN IDIOTIC WAY OF SPEAKING, then WHAT IS "peter kropotkin"?
Peter Kropotkin wrote: Mon Dec 11, 2023 3:33 pm because Age never actually says anything... just a random series of

BUT, 'now' 'we' ARE BACK TO 'i' ACTUALLY NEVER SAY ABSOLUTELY ANY 'thing', REALLY.

So, SOME TIMES 'i' BRING A LITTLE, BUT, THEN, ACTUALLY, 'i' NEVER REALLY SAY ABSOLUTELY ANY 'thing', ALSO.

So, 'we' ARE BACK TO 'your' FIRST CONCLUSION and CLAIM here 'now', "peter kropotkin", right?

If 'this' IS what 'you' REALLY WANT TO BELIEVE IS TRUE, then 'this' IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY FINE WITH 'me' "peter kropotkin".

It SURELY IS 'one way' of SNEAKING OUT of ANSWERING QUESTION posed, and ASKED TO 'you', WHEN 'you' ARE BEING CHALLENGED ON what 'you' SAY and CLAIM, which IS NEVER IDIOTIC, right "peter kropotkin"/

I WANNA, I WANNA, I WANNA, I WANNA"
Here 'we' have ANOTHER PRIME example of when 'they', BACK THEN, WOULD MAKE UP False CLAIMS and ACCUSATIONS ABOUT 'one', in order TO garnish support, and back up, FROM "others", in a 'group mentality structure', EXACTLY LIKE how 'schoolyard bullying' was portrayed in those VERY OLD movie scenes, FROM BACK in 'those olden days'.

Ok. So IF the moderators\Rick decide to allow the tripe from Age to continue, as I have placed in the "Suggestions Box" which seems ignored these days, when people create a thread allow them to add username(s) of people that would be blocked from participating in the thread - at least two usernames perhaps. That seems fair, the idiots can splurge elsewhere, just not in your own thread if you decide.

Philosophy as a science, Gary, began with Aristotle, and Arstotle, oddly enough, was a real theist, so what should we, atheists, do now?
I suggest throwing out Aristotle! and instead of him, who will we install, Gary? Maybe Mao Zedong, he was a cool guy, and didn’t suffer from theism, and I’ll tell you a secret, he wasn’t even a Jew!

Ok. So IF the moderators\Rick decide to allow the tripe from Age to continue, as I have placed in the "Suggestions Box" which seems ignored these days,
BUT WHY does 'it' SEEM like 'this' to 'you', "attofishpi"? As far as I can tell it was ONLY about 25 days ago that 'you' made A COMPLAINT/WHINGED, and then GOT what 'you' WANTED. Or, when 'you' SAY, 'these days', do 'you' have a MUCH SMALLER or MUCH NARROWER perspective or field-of-view?

Also, if the so-called 'tripe' FROM "attofishpi" is ALLOWED TO CONTINUE, then WHY should the PURPORTED 'tripe' FROM 'me' NOT ALSO BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE?

Are 'you' UNDER some sort OF DELUSION that 'your tripe' "attofishpi" is somehow BETTER than MINE IS?

Have 'you' CONSIDERED STARTING 'your' OWN 'forum', which then 'you' WOULD HAVE SOLE CHOICE IN PICKING and CHOOSING who 'you' WANT TO CONTRIBUTE?

That way 'you' could ALLOW ONLY 'those' WHO AGREE WITH 'you', and WITH 'your tripe', "attofishpi".

Well 'this' is ANOTHER WAY of NOT ALLOWING "others" TO SHOW and REVEAL the Falsehoods, and/or Wrongness, in one's OWN WRITINGS, CLAIMS, and/or BELIEFS.
