That is mostly correct. shanny Dec 2017 #4

Yes. Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #7

Rightfully? Sez you. eom shanny Dec 2017 #8

That's correct. I am the person who said that. Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #10

Nice demonstration of the ongoing double standard. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #15

You must be talking about the double standard where atheists say it is OK to criticize ideas... Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #18

If that makes you feel good, I understand. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #19

Yes, I am an idiot. Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #22

Another diversion? guillaumeb Dec 2017 #25

No, it's not. Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #27

Are you a pastefarian? eom guillaumeb Dec 2017 #37

I don't know what that is. Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #40

I am. I once consumed an entire jar of library paste MineralMan Dec 2017 #42

Where has an atheist said you can't criticize atheism? Cuthbert Allgood Dec 2017 #24

An attempt at humor? guillaumeb Dec 2017 #26

Nope Cuthbert Allgood Dec 2017 #29

Some confusion on your part. eom guillaumeb Dec 2017 #38

No. Still none. You claimed a double standard by atheists. I asked for proof. Cuthbert Allgood Dec 2017 #39

Please demonstrate the double standard. trotsky Dec 2017 #31

Ooops!! That is not a proper subject for debate. eom guillaumeb Dec 2017 #14

OK shanny Dec 2017 #32

So it's "chastising" someone to point out there is no factual basis for their beliefs? trotsky Dec 2017 #30

lol shanny Dec 2017 #33

Thanks for the response. trotsky Dec 2017 #35

It was earned. shanny Dec 2017 #43

An interesting way to welcome someone to this group. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #45

How delightful to have you judge me. trotsky Dec 2017 #66

Self-awareness? guillaumeb Dec 2017 #75

I'm aware of you judging others non-stop, yes. trotsky Dec 2017 #81

Beliefs are what they are...mental thoughts. MineralMan Dec 2017 #50

True, but as sentient beings, we are more than our bones. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #52

If you are claiming that dualism is a proven fact you are mistaken. Voltaire2 Dec 2017 #54

Did you read the part about sentience? guillaumeb Dec 2017 #56

Ok at what point do mental processes meet your qualification of sentience? Voltaire2 Dec 2017 #57

When they rise to the level of human sentience. eom guillaumeb Dec 2017 #58

So is a 1 year old baby sentient? Voltaire2 Dec 2017 #59

A baby human is a human baby, and sentient. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #60

So this "sentience" is then only a property of humans, and all humans have this property? Voltaire2 Dec 2017 #61

Sentience is defined as awareness of surroundings. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #62

A cockroach is very aware of its surroundings. Voltaire2 Dec 2017 #63

lolwut? Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #68

By whom is it so defined? MineralMan Dec 2017 #70

Erroneous thinking. Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #69

Once we are only bones, we are no more sentient beings. MineralMan Dec 2017 #74

"Know" Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #6

lol shanny Dec 2017 #9

I know the definition of "to know". Act_of_Reparation Dec 2017 #11

So a kid dying with cancer must have done something horrible, right? Cuthbert Allgood Dec 2017 #12

No. That is a horrible thought. nt Irish_Dem Dec 2017 #16

That's the logical extension of "karma" Cuthbert Allgood Dec 2017 #17

Karma says that bad things happen because you deserve it, right? n/t trotsky Dec 2017 #34

I guess only when it fits the defined "karma" pattern. Voltaire2 Dec 2017 #64

And that's the repulsive side of karma. trotsky Dec 2017 #67

Calvinism, too. MineralMan Dec 2017 #71

Correct. trotsky Dec 2017 #73

An amazing leap. guillaumeb Dec 2017 #20

Why is that? Cuthbert Allgood Dec 2017 #21

So you deny that cancer can be caused by many things? guillaumeb Dec 2017 #23
