StillVlunderingaboutlikeabladderedbadger,
No....You are peddling the myth again that I am dismissing Owlswings faith and experience. You are the man for that kind of dismissal not me.
How is it even possible that you get every damn thing so fantastically ass-backwards wrong every single time? That’s NOT what I did at all – what I actually did was to ask how you or he or anyone else would know whether these things are real. I made no comment whatever on what he
believes, you
believe or anyone else
believes.
If anyone is giving their beliefs privilege it is you, partly through your insistence at being in the inquisitorial seat and in presenting your position as axiomatically the unalloyed truth.
I guess this just making shit up and then throwing it at your interlocutor approach makes you happy in some odd way, but can you really not see how foolish it makes you? Really?
Read the posts Owlswing says his gods are real but only real in his faith. He diminishes the status of his god to impress and keep in with the likes of you.
No, he’s just smarter than you so he realises that he cannot overreach by claiming that his personal belief is by some entirely unknown process also somehow an objective truth for me too. You would learn a lot from him if you could grasp this.
In terms of your argument appealing to ridiculousness. They all do.
If not to storks then Leprechauns.
Exactly – they ALL do – storks, leprechauns, your god, whatever. It’s STILL your problem to show how the method you use of “intuiting” your way to your god cannot be also be used by others to “intuit” their way to different beliefs entirely.
You can duck and dive all you want, but it’s still your problem nonetheless.
If you were put on trial for lying about these so called ''convictions'' about storks and Leprechauns you would be pronounced guilty of taking the piss based on the evidence of everything else you write.
You of all people are accusing someone ELSE of lying!!!???!!! Good grief.
Either way, as ever you miss the point – it’s not that I seriously believe in stork theory, it’s that you have no defence against it when you insist that the rest of us accept an evidence bar set so low for your god too. It's either all of them or none of them, until and unless you FINALLY manage to suggest a reason to privilege your god belief above my stork belief.
It also confirms your assumed position of special privilege.
The only one claiming special privilege for his belief here is you remember? Remember that you dismiss the rest as “ridiculous” but for some reason you cannot explain you also expect us to exclude your personal belief from that set.
That’s what “privilege” means FFS!
in short Hillside cut the hypocritical humbug about special privilege.
A hypocrisy you’ve yet to demonstrate, but as empty assertion seems to be your stock in trade that’s all we’ll get I guess.
Now back to where you think I have been debunked.
How long have you got - it’s happened hundreds of times, only you’ve just ignored or misrepresented it when it has. You could always start by finally telling us why you dismiss my belief in stork theory though.
Couldn’t you?
The sensible money is on not making category fuck ups like you make them.
It’s possible that I do of course, but it’s also the case that you’ve never managed to identify one. By all means finally figure out what it means and then have another try though.
..maybe that is why you languish here like a Budget Christopher Hitchens.
I’ll take that over a budget Ray Comfort any day thanks.
Sad considering that niche is already occupied by.....er, Christopher Hitchens.
What’s sadder I think is how entirely oblivious you are to your limitations and dishonesty. Just for once why not try actually to think about what’s actually being said and actually try to answer that rather than ignore it or answer your straw man version of it?
Would it really kill you just to try for Pete’s sake?
