For what it’s worth, I have no qualms with people knowing certain details about me online and I haven’t purchased a game since Skyrim. That said, I do have my suspicions that pchaos pisses chaos.
And was an atheist. As was Marx, who reached opposite – but equally “coherent” – conclusions. You’ve got the aforementioned Jean-Paul Sartre and everyone from Bertrand Russell to Friedrich Nietzsche. Various atheists have produced competing systems that have appealed to different people. What’s your point?
Why in this world don’t you people get this Jean-Paul fellow and this Bertrand dude together with this Ayn babe and this Friedrich cat into a big room and make them scream and yell and argue with each other about whose system is the most coherent or the coolest or the neatest or something? Let’s get some action going, for Chrissakes. And I mean NOW, you lazy slobs. Come on, this is a minimum to gain my approval for atheism. This would be at least the beginning of the “something more” I’m demanding of you people.
But there isn’t anything more.
If there were no God, there would be no atheists. G.K. Chesterton.
And if there was no meat, there would be no vegetarians. What’s your point?
I have plenty, thank you for your concern, and you’re an idiot.
Chesterton was a wit. If you want to approach from that angle seriously, it’s just as easily said that if there were no* concept* of God, we would all be atheists by default. And as LeeshaJoy said, what’s your point? And, BTW, you’re an idiot.
In fact, we are all born atheists.
Both my kids are atheists. I never encouraged them one way or another; nor however did I decline to.answer their questions about my opinions on the matter.
It’s ironic that an atheist’s existence is dependent on the existence of God.
Big surprise. You also don’t know what ironic means.
I think you might be misunderstanding Chesterton.
In any case, I can also play that game.
“If god existed, no one would believe in god.”
God does not exist, except in the minds of men. Therefore the above statement is, as usual, whacked.
That has got to be the single most stupid thing any religionist has ever said about atheism.
You think THAT’S interesting, think about what the THEIST’S existence depends on!
are you really this stupid or are you just jerking around to get a reaction?
He has successfully deflected you from the question at hand.
I’m a new poster, but an old lawyer.
I asked pchaos if he was really a lawyer because he doesn’t seem to think, express himself or display the kind of knowledge most lawyers have and use.
I will hedge in my lawyerly way though. He might be a lawyer, but I’d be interested to know some specifics about his area of expertise and practice.
It’s quite possible that subsequent to becoming a full-fledged lawyer, he suffered some debilitating incident that impaired his cognitive function.
Baptism?
What kind of law do you practice, pchaos?
Taking it at the end of July, so I will be a lawyer in September, 2013 (hopefully)
