Why Everyone's Bored With Atheists

The possibility is NOT unknown. The impossibility is unknown...and since it is...the possibility is confirmed. The only way to show that it is not possible...is by showing it to be impossible.

Those of you who have decided to plant your flag on this argument have made a huge mistake. You really should go back to insisting that you have the right to make a blind guess that no gods exist. Yeah, that would indicate that you are very much like theists in making blind guesses about things unknown, but you can live with that.

But to claim that it is illogical to assert that it is POSSIBLE there are no gods...AND is also POSSIBLE that at least one god exists (eliminating for CC's chance that one-fifth of a god)...just makes no sense.

It is like claiming it is incorrect to say that it is POSSIBLE that a tossed coin can land "heads" AND it also is possible that it could land "tails." (eliminating the chance of landing on its edge.)

Yes it is unknown
You keep making the same statement and refuse to support it with anything other than repeating it yet again
Your inability to support the statment is whyt you will never even try

Been there done that, watched you run with deflection and dishonesty as you always do

C'mon. no need for that kind of thing. And to do it with two glaring spelling errors is really poor tactics on your part.

No, it (the possibility) is not unknown. It is known, because you are correct that the impossibility is unknown. And if the impossibility cannot be established, it definitionally is possible.

I know you do not want to accept that...and that is okay with me.

But to ask me to further "support" my comment is silly.

You seem to think that one of those statements is incorrect. Just tell me which of them you think it is incorrect.

Do you think "it is possible that no gods exist" is incorrect?

Do you think "it is possible that at least one god exists" is incorrect?

And do the same thing for the coin toss.

Do you think "it is possible it will land heads" is incorrect?

Do you think "it is possible it will land tails" is incorrect"

I have supported my statement time and time again. You simply will not accept my supporting statements. That is why I am proposing the questions above. Let's see what you have to say.

More repition of the statement instead of actually trying to support it
The possibility or impossibility remains unknown
Run Frank run its all you ever do

Nonsense...you have not.

Is it possible that there are no gods?

That you may have answered...YES, it is possible that there are no gods.

Is it possible that there is at least one god...you have not answered. No one thinking the way you will answer that question.

If you want to prove me wrong...just answer it here. Only requires one word, actually, but you can add others if you want.

It is possible that there is at least one god?

The possibility is unknown. The possibility for anything for which we have zero information remains unknown until we get some information.

By the way...you ought really to deep six that "Frank is running away" nonsense.

I never do. I am relentless. I am here...several times a day.

The charge is silly.

Now now, don’t short yourself. You can indeed compete with Frank in terms of mind-numbing repetition of cartoons and empty claims like above. You are also very good at it.

true.

at least my 'mind numbing repetitive cartoons' are Award winning and proven devices that win over Lost People world wide and are printed by the Tens of millions.

what do you have that comes close to advocating for yur side?

oh yeah, some silly Biology books that advocate Big Bang and monkey science.


0055_08.gif...i used these Cartoons back in my high school years for the needy Young searching souls.

these never grow old, or become 'mind numbing repetitive cartoons'

we have plenty of new Visitors here on the forum that may never have seen them.


blessings forever and ever

W, you just do not sound like anyone enjoying life at all. You always seem to be so dissatisfied and disgruntled.

C'mon. Start enjoying things.

I certainly do...and Revelation certainly seems to be enjoying life also.

Peace, Man.

Don't allow life to get you down. This is not a dress rehearsal.

Yes, I acknowledge your gaslighting as a substitute for actual debate. I have noted an increasing amount of it recently which apparently means that you are quite frustrated that others will not accept your very poor “logic”.

I guarantee that I am having a ball here. You should be also...but you sound as though it is a huge burden you are struggling with. Lighten up.

And a follow-up of yet more gaslighting. Sorry, but that actually shows a weakness on your part that you need to resort to such a tactic than it actually says anything at all about me.

Have fun, W. Stop letting life get to you.

Really.
