Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics! What are your sources of knowledge?
I can see that you believe all that, but i don't find it convincing at all. This is precisely what i'm talking about. Your faith in these things is clouding your judgement, making you talk in paradoxes. you assert this but all evidence points the other way. How can i believe it when you...- kidkunjer

Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics! What are your sources of knowledge?
I don't understand what you're saying here... either that or you haven't understood what i'm saying. No it doesn't. I think there is a confusion over the word "independent". As a consciousness, i choose that is to say my thoughts are not determined by a boss system. I may be part of a larger...- kidkunjer

Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics! What are your sources of knowledge?
because its not about complexity, its about volition, its about what i am, not what i do. independent? that's just a judgement such as the boundary between red and orange. I don't claim independent consciousness in any real sense. It's just a way of talking for ease of communication. I don't...- kidkunjer

The Religion of Reason
It strikes me that perhaps you should avoid the word 'reason'. if you described your points as 'articles of faith' then they wouldn't attract the negative attention. In fact i'd go as far as to say that they would come across as comparatively very 'logical' articles of faith, rather than the...- kidkunjer

Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics! What are your sources of knowledge?
is it? it sounds like you're arguing for a utilitarian definition of truth... There are plenty of things that 'work' but aren't true.- kidkunjer

Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics! What are your sources of knowledge?
It doesn't matter. If i am part of someones dream, then that dream is what makes up my reality. I still know i am, and am experiencing. If i am a complex computer program that includes a consciousness (it must to be me as i do not simply "respond to stimuli") then that computer program is me and...- kidkunjer

Atheists/Agnostics/Skeptics! What are your sources of knowledge?
are you sure? I cannot know that you exist, so to argue for that would be insane, but i know that i exist, as i am the one questioning it. I also know that i'm experiencing what i'm experiencing as i'm experiencing it. to deny it forms a paradox, and not just the linguistic kind either. of...- kidkunjer

Any Religious or Spiritual Atheists?
I am an agnostic, because i am a Vatist. Vatism is a religion/philosophy that rejects belief, as "the more you believe, the less you perceive". We don't believe there is a god, we don't believe there isn't. You name it, we don't believe it. Its a deeply spiritual path with a form of...- kidkunjer

The Danger of Chaos Magic
funny you should see it that way, I'ver always considered NOT deconstructing reality and your relationship with it as dangerous...
