He doesn't disbelieve, he just doesn't know

[–] [email protected] -1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Knowing isn't required for either believing or disbelieving.

But knowing is required for not being dumb.

Something seems to have triggered you. Are you okay?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Don't be defensive, address my point instead.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You're not really making any meaningful points for me to interact with, and as such I have nothing in myself to defend. You seem to just be really cranky and hostile.

That's where your downvotes are coming from, by the way. You're not appealing to reason; you're more just being kind of a dick.

Well the fellow that I replied to implied that understanding is necessary for belief/disbelief. And then I said that it ain't so.

So you might try addressing that very definite and relevant point.

Yes, I've heard of faith before. Philosophically riveting stuff, I'm sure.

I'm simply here to say you might try being less intellectually hostile. This extends beyond your interaction here. I agree with your sentiment, but you don't exactly make people want to meet you where you stand. There is no "them" for you to fight. It's just us.

You don't have a point, other than you should just trust your gut or something?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

I think that you are too dumb for this conversation.
