@Saud Your "So, I argue that is why agnosticism is the best way to approach God." falls into the trap of circular reasoning, as it assumes the existence of the said God. I have for decades made the trivially falsifiable claim that nobody has ever produced any falsifiable evidence to support the existence claim of any god in the last 5,000 years. My claim is trivially falsifiable by design. I am still waiting.

Falling into the (non) religious trap?

waitingforgodo comments on Jul 1, 2022:

Does Boolean logic aver atheism or agnosticism?

anglophone replies on Jul 1, 2022:

@Saud I read Karl Popper's book "The Logic of Scientific Discovery" many years ago. His reasoning is that science makes progress when theories and hypotheses are demonstrated as being false. If a claim is incapable of being demonstrated as being false, then the claim is unfalsifiable, and as such it is not scientific. Perhaps the most famous case of a falsifiable claim is Newton's Laws of Motion. While those laws were repeatedly tested and confirmed by observation, they were ultimately falsified by the Michel-Morley experiment which then led to Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. There is also the widespread misconception that anything is science can ever be proved. Putting it bluntly, there is no such thing as proof in science (though there is proof in mathematics, printing and liquor - think of 120% proof whiskey). All science ever has in that regard is a collection of ideas and equations that amount to the best description of reality as we know it at the time. The ideas that match repeatable observations eventually become theories (in the scientific sense - see the Theory of General Relativity by way of example) but many people mistake the vernacular theory meaning guess or hunch as meaning the same thing as a scientific theory. Perhaps the most famous (or notorious, depending on your point of view) example of this is Christina Wilkinson of Oswaldtwistle who claimed “Evolution is not a fact. That’s why it’s called a theory! There’s more evidence that the Bible is true.” It is worthwhile observing that all claims of all gods are unfalsifiable, because none of those claims can be demonstrated as being false.

He has done it again, young Henry I mean, so it seems.

Diogenes comments on Jun 27, 2022:

Good little Henry. Children should not be indoctrinated with bull shit. No one has ever walked on liquid water or any animal ever come back from the dead. But it isn't just the Christians that believe in total foolishness; what about the characters that must wear their hats/turbans all day?

anglophone replies on Jun 27, 2022:

It is a wonder to me that Henry's school has not yet got a reputation for expelling religious lunatic teachers.

Henry is an awesome child. Kids like him give me hope for the future.

anglophone replies on Jun 27, 2022:

It is my prejudice that mature adults do not feel threatened by questions from 8 or 9 year old children. My prejudice tells me a lot about Henry's erstwhile teacher.

Just got an up-date on the Evangeloon situation.

anglophone comments on Jun 26, 2022:

One thing is obvious: if Clarence Thomas could force the whole of the U$A back to Biblical times he would do so. He is a reactionary retrogressive, and he reviles the human progress that people have made in recent centuries.

Is this what the Supreme Court intended?

Not only would this result in a lot of unwanted pregnancies, but just imagine the STDs that would result. Maybe that's his game...punishing people who have sex. IDK...what is their ultimate goal?

anglophone replies on Jun 26, 2022:

The ultimate goal is to impose his own morality on everybody else. It is a sign of his own deep personal insecurity and his own refusal to use what passes for his brain.

Ownership change.

The government has reached into the bodies of women & the men who partner with them. Government overreach? "Ya think?

I think we know....contraceptives, same-sex marriage, anything the evangeloons dislike. I've been thinking.....having a growing segment of your population be poor and uneducated really makes life happier for OLIGARCHS, doesn't it? That court isn't about theocracy....it's about GREED.

anglophone replies on Jun 26, 2022:

I see it as be8ing about the imposition of a right-wing Christian theocracy on the whole of the USA. Woman are to be property. Other countries are to be despised. The concept of "the just war" against anything and everything that is "un-American".

SCOTUS is to be congratulated for bringing the United $tates of Absurdity even further into ...
