Re: doubtingthomas’s topics MEGATHREAD

The post you quoted was an accusation. It may be true or false, but it isn't a fallacy. An accusation that is factually incorrect isn't a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy makes a claim incoherent or meaningless, or otherwise problematic such that you don't get to the part about investigating facts...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

I have no interest in going down this track with you. I think that's great. Why don't you go back to the original thread and try to get into the conversation's topic, rather than a meta discussion about the conversation -- (can the conversation ultimately tell us anything since everyone is living a...

Re: Why all the screaming about WOKE

that's still going on?

I'm not on Facebook or anything but I thought the woke stuff had slowed down.

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

Perfect, moderators. I wish I would have thought of it. Every time MG steps into a conversation where people are arguing facts, and turns into phil 101 questioning if we can know anything at all, you should totally split that post and all responses off and put it here. It's the ultimate derail. That...

Re: Seeing Things Differently -DanP the apologist excuse.

I cannot get inside the minds of those that have a worldview that may not completely dovetail with mine. You've already established that, the point is, just like per you, as critics, we can't get into the minds of believers therefore we must acknowledge their equally valid worldview, are you willin...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

Gadianton marks me as as being solipsistic. No, I marked you as a 6-day creation fundamentalist who operates in a black and white world, believing that you have the absolute 100% truth, playing the solipsism card only when specific topics come up that you don't have good answers for. You are not a ...

Re: Thomas Stuart Ferguson (May 21, 1915 – March 16, 1983)

One thing that Dan Petersen and MG 2.0 have in common is that they are both solipsists. Well, not really. They actually both believe in the most extreme frameworks of absolute truth, believing that they indeed have the absolute truth, but unable to make an argument, they pretend to be solipsists. Th...

Re: Numbers...

Some MTP (Moderator Type Person) eradicated my EITPQ (Earthquake Invitation Type Poll Questions), but marring it as was did fulfilled prophecy, so thanks whoever it was, for playing your part. Someone had to crucify Christ … everyone has a role to play. Instead of the DS using his powers to restore...

Re: Thomas Stuart Ferguson (May 21, 1915 – March 16, 1983)

Thanks for the post, Sock Puppet. My main issue is that you're giving a one-sided account. Poising the well, anybody? Okay, so great, we have a Mormon American lawyer and amateur archeologist who spent his life in Mesoamerica digging and not finding anything, and then losing his belief in the Book o...

Re: Lars Nielsen's "How the Book of Mormon Came to Pass"

This quote goes along with and supports what I’ve said many times on this board, and that is, we all bring our own life experience into the perceptions and resulting decisions we make. In my short response to Fence Sitter I alluded to the fact that subjectivity and objectivity are going to vary fro...
