Do invisible pink unicorns exist ?

Bah. It’s all semantics. The OP wants an atheist to admit that God exists because the concept of God exists.

Fine. I am an atheist, and I have no problem whatsoever admitting that God exists, solely as a concept in some people’s minds. He is just as real as an invisible pink unicorn; no more, and no less.

Of course, a mere concept cannot create the universe, answer prayers, or grant eternal life. So who the hell cares if the concept of God exists, if God itself does not exist?

The male IPU is not pink, he’s an off “salmon” color. The female IPU is more of a “mauve” color. It’s no wonder you can’t find then, you’re looking for the extinct pink ones…

If the Unicorns are Invisible, How do you know they are Pink?
Plus if you are seeing them you must be either A: Tripping on Acid, or B: Schizophrenic.

What? An entire thread devoted to the Invisible Pink Unicorn and not a word from our friend Tracer! Buddy, are you OK?

Ahhh… but what does it mean to be meaningless? If it means something to be meaningless then meaninglessness can’t be meaningless.

I’m not sure what all that means, but it must mean something since I’ve just established that meaninglessness is a meaningless concept. No wait. I just established that meaninglessness is not a meaningless concept. So… uhmmm…

OK. So, if meaninglessness is not meaningless, uh, then… no, if it is meaningless, then… oh, shit.

I have one at home in a secret place. Right next to my purple elephant!

I’ve heard a lot of people talking about this concept called “World Peace” (not to be confused with Whirled Peas).

Many people talk about it. Many people wish for it, or work towards creating it. There seems to be a general idea of what “World Peace” would look like, if it ever existed. The concept probably doesn’t look exactly the same to all people who believe in this concept, but it seems to have some consistencies from one person to the next.

However, looking at the international news proves that “World Peace” does not exist according to how most people would define it.

Here, then, is a concept that exists, while the condition that it attempts to capture does not itself exist. You can say with certainity that “World Peace” does not exist - but you cannot say that the concept of “World Peace” does not.
