It's a free forum.  As I'm told, "if you don't like what's being said, go. You don't have to read it or answer it."   Hypocrites!  And, as usual, foul-mouthed with it.

Naturalism, naturism  :o

Philosophical naturism... that'd almost be worth looking into, if only for the giggles :)

It isn't against the rules, and would only be an issue if it became excessively fractious, when it would be locked or moved.

Since the gist of the thread is about the frequent use of 'Philosophical Naturalism' across multiple threads then we've let it run - for now anyway!

The current Forum Rules have been in place for 2 years now.

Prior to that there were some loose rules, for want of a better term, but they weren't clearly defined, which is why the current rules were developed and implemented. I think that there was a feeling, at best, that you couldn't use names in thread titles.

This wasn't included in the current Rules, especially since at around the same time we extended the use of the 'Prayer' Board to include 'Thoughts and Announcements' where this could be name-specific. However, if a thread title involving a name was clearly intended to insult or demean (e.g. contravene one of the Rules) then it wouldn't be allowed.

This thread does have a point beyond the use of a member's name, as I said earlier, which is Vlad's use of a term that has figured in his posts in numerous threads and in subsequent exchanges with other members. As such, we haven't intervened to close down the thread because, so far anyway, we have no reason to do so (although I have Modded one post).

As far as the Christians are concerned I could not possibly make it any worse than they already consider it. When it come to the opinions of Christians on Pagans and Paganism I treat those opinions with the same contempt as they treat my beliefs. Tit-for-tat sort of thing.

Yes, Vlad is perfectly at liberty to say what he wants but he brings up "philosophical naturalism" as his argument all the bloody time. He tries to derail perfectly good threads with it.

By the same token, I'm allowed to ask him to shut the fuck up about it. I don't expect him to take heed because he doesn't have anything more insightful to say.

I understand Gordon. You feel the antitheists here don't like having a label since you feel it is your jobs to label others.....and so you thought you needed somebody with gravitas ( i.e. Jeremy P)to make one last intellectual appeal( i.e. ''shut the fuck up'' )to get me to desist naming where most of your argument comes from.

In your case, as has been posted before your interminable creation of nonsense words ending in -ism.00

In matters of religion I have no problem, unlike many others, including your most veherment supporters, with people who disgaree with me, religion being a matter of personal belief and having no solid foundation in fact, a matter of faith only. What I do not like is when in place of reasonable discussion of my beliefs the detractors do nothing except take the piss, yet piss their pants in anger if the same is done to their beliefs.

You do yourself a great diservice with your comment. You are one of those who, rarely, except in the instance immediately above, posts one-liners. Whilst I, for one, disagree with an awful lot of what you post it is always intelligent, intelligible, and worth reading, quite unlike dozens of single lines referring to philosophical naturalism.

It would not have had the same effect. After all what type of character assassinations would follow from other members by PM?

Did you not see BA also getting insulted.

He knew what he was doing. But as you can see, this thread was not as well thought out or as diplomatic as Vlads thread that Jeremyp wrote this in reply to.

(You can't beat a bit of bully-ing) what a pity it started in the first instance.  :(

Say what now? Oh my giddy Aunt, you’re actually going to reply to something? In an “Omnibus edition” no less? Shoud we call it your Vladendium maybe?

After all these years of being chased for an answer to any question at all that doesn’t consist of your standard repertoire of distortion, evasion, abuse etc you’re actually going to reply to something?!?!?!?

Really?

Really really?

Have the clocks struck half past thirteen?

Have the ravens left the Tower of London?

Wow! I feel a bit faint.

OK, this’ll need some careful planning – after the avalanche of unanswered questions it’ll be a large volume after all. I suggest an alphabetical approach to the chapters – from “A” for “At last Vladdy Stops Ducking and Diving” to “Z” for “Zeitgeist”, stopping along the way of course for “N” for “Nun Sekwiture” (suggest you use the spell check here).

Now then, the biggest section presumably will be, “How I finally laid out a logical path from whateverpopsintomyheadisafactforyoutoo-ism to some kind or method or process to show your working without recourse to your irrelevant and misunderstood use of “philosophical naturalism”. You'll have your work cut out for that one so take it slowly, maybe wrap a few cold towels round your head first if that helps. 

Can’t wait!

Oh, hang on though – what’s this again?

I shall collect several past postings on the subject and edit them together…

Aw no! Say it ain’t so Vladdy boy! Not that, surely not that?

See, we both know that your “past postings” consist entirely of no method of any kind, the irrelevant and misunderstood use of “philosophical naturalism”, straw men, ad hominems and personal abuse.

And that’s all you intend to compile into the Vladendium?

No coherent argument?

No robust logic?

No addressing why your belief in a god is any more a fact for me than my belief in Stan the Stork is a fact for you?

Nothing?

Zip?

Zilch?

The humanity! I need a lie down…

That would be possible if it wasn't the basis of perhaps 95% of atheist argument.....but then you guys keep right on doing Philosophical Naturalism.

It's the basis of 0% of "atheist argument", for reasons that have been explained to you exhaustively.

If you are saying therefore that all of atheist argument has no philosophical basis and is plucked from the arse, then temperamentally I sympathise with your claim.
However honesty compels us to call a spade a spade and you and your wee servile wizards ''Philosophical Naturalists''.

Just had a call from the British Grass Growing and Hay Baling Association. They're working flat out to meet your straw orders but there's just not enough available. Emergency supplies are on their way from Canada apparently, but in the meantime they ask would you mind dialling back to a nominal half dozen or so straw men a day please.

Sorry to inconvenience you - as soon as the ship docks you can ramp back up to your usual quota.

Ta everso.

Aw bless. What's your plan for today then - collect a few conkers, then lashings of chicken nuggets and trifle for tea, and into your jim-jams and bed by 7?
