Sticking your head in the sand won't make us concede your point. Either provide evidence, or proclaim it a belief, not a fact. What's the age old internet egging? "Pictures, or it never happened."? I think that's it. In this case, some empirical evidence. Not, "I saw so there." Not firing at...

Staunch Atheist? Please define. Someone who REALLY, REALLY doesn't believe in Santa Claus, compared to someone who just doesn't believe in Santa Claus? I'm staunchly standing by my claims that I have no claims, other than you shouldn't waste your time on things the world can't agree even exists...

Psychology, facebook, and google to name 3. "Your worried." No shit. "You have an investment opportunity." No shit. "Your sister is in Hawaii." No shit. Again, just have him name us. Certainly a simple question can pass among friends? He APPEARED to read minds. Without empirical data, you don't...

If by value you mean comforting a widow, sure. Metaphysics appeals to our emotional side. Hence the propensity for delusion.

Yes I would. Want the answer? Yes, my life would have been "More fun" with metaphysical contemplation. And more delusional. Pascals wager= A fools' bet.

You mean experiencing life? "What's it like"? I experience this like any other human. I just don't let it effect me so wildly. I have to process each experience with caution, with science. Enter, the skeptic.

Your mistaken. My life is fantastic. Which aspects of life am I missing?

Which aspects do you refer to, exactly?

How do you know this? Waaaaiiit for it....waaaaiiit for it....

Do you believe my life is somehow darkened by this approach?

I think you meant Accept, not except. I do it all the time, don't trip. And no, I don't. I don't have to accept anything which can't be proven physically. To do so would be a waste of time. Science eliminates the possible, and leaves what is. Why believe in MIGHT, when IS has so much more...

Kind of par for the course. You have to realize you're ordering illegal merchandise, and having it sent to you. It's not like ordering a bike. I love AMS' selection, and consistency. But when I posted so, I was met with folks slandering the bank. None had order numbers, or insurance. I'm not...

Sorry, wrong door.

No, I fail to see how you fault scientific method for "Buying the lemon" over a misguided purchaser. A Buddhist who sets himself on fire used his logic and came to what he considered a reasonable conclusion. You proposed that even if someone conducted their own investigation, they might fail...

You believe that despite investigations, evidence, and pier review, someone can somehow "Become Lost" to the knowledge they seek. I contend that their logic is fallible, not the process. ...reality is a system, completely ordered and fully intelligible, with which thought in its advance is more...

"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." -- H. L. Mencken

Not that I read. A couple people felt our recent arguments were irrelevant. I just fail to see how your logic seems reasonable. This is my failure, more than yours.
