    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    This goes back even further, so compartmentalizing history, and sucking up to rucruit likes is oh so tacky. Fill your boots. Perhaps you will indeed discover which is a subset of which, and go down in history as... well... nothing.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    The inference is that it is a simple issue... like 2+2... it's as easy as 2+2. In saying so, I am relying on your common knowledge of the saying, and the answer. Inference requires knowledge. We can get into a debate about the definition of inference and whether it's a subset of anything if you...

    No, a pig must be wearing lipstick, in order to be lipstick on a pig.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Indeed it is there in black and white... and I find it amusing how a little education goes to one's head. One poor sap asked questions... it's all there in black and white... and got the runaround because you simply refused to either realize, or point out, that you were using a rigid, narrow...

    Speaking of colorful, that is a nice shade of red you put on that pig.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    If I reference 2+2 to infer an easy and obvious answer of 4, then it is more a common knowledge I am using for the inference.

    Oh no... it was in context. Have the courage to wear the stain you produced.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    ... and you could have corrected that, long before you got to the "A belief must be justified and true, in order to be a justified true belief." When I called you on it, rather than say oops, sorry, you justified talking down to someone on such a disgusting level as having to go to the...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    You could start with which is the sub set. If you cannot have a belief without the knowledge of it, does that not make belief the subset. Knowledge first, then the different types of belief. You could also ask why does every religious discussion boil down to these definition battles? "Prove...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    It's been my experience that most atheists embrace all things humanly possible... that's sort of the point. If they start requiring some special head gear be worn in symbolic unity... then perhaps atheists will become like the bad thing that is belief based on social structure and brainwashing...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    He wasn't being genuine, and Philosophy 101 was used in a 'taking a course doesn't equal superior intelligence' mocking sort of way.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    I corrected the term and brought that awful conversation where it needed to go. Personally, I could care less about the knowledge/belief relationship. Depending on your definitions, of course, it is difficult to think that you could believe in something you were first not aware of. Therefore...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    I said he used an older definition of knowledge... an old school version, so to speak. My accusation was one of hypocrisy and elitism.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    If you recognize someone is assuming a different definition, you make yourself clearer... you don't accuse the guy of doing WHAT YOU ARE DOING. Simply because you use the term for it... lol... it doesn't make you right. There is honest debate to further knowledge and communication, and then...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    It was pretty obvious to those of us suffering through that conversation, that you were enjoying playing "elitist"... lol... which really is a joke. A decent human says... Oh jeez sorry... I'm using a strict old school definition of knowledge... which is a fact that you know... like if you see...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    I wasn't intimidated. I scoffed. What you were asking for didn't even relate to what I was talking about. It's weird how you love to deflect from subjects.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    It straightens out your bogus conversation. You are completely lost in your own definitions, and are presenting the information WRONG.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Just as an aside... terminology dropping is a debating tactic used by those in a vulnerable position. To seasoned debaters, it is like the smell of fear, or the blood in the water, so to speak. Over terminologizing is an attempt at intellectual intimidation, unfortunately, it is on par with a...

    Yes. Please go back to them yourself before trying to pass them on as knowledge.
