Why anti-theism is a joke.

[McBell]

Everyone else is falling back on the old "I don't get it so it must be nonsense" maneuver.

Yeah, that is the only possible explanation...

Seems you fell into the same hole you claim others are in....

 

[McBell]

Of course, there's the possibility that it's actually just nonsense too.

Well, it cannot possibly be nonsense.
I mean, golly gee, someone on the internet claims to have gotten some deep philosophical meaning from it.

Of course, there's the possibility that it's actually just nonsense too.

There's always that possibility, but, as I understand it, the proper procedure for making those determinations is:

---Look at what's being said,...
---Make an attempt to understand what's meant...
---Ask for clarification if you need it...
---And once you think you have a reasonable grasp of the idea being presented, decide for yourself wheter it's valid or not.


The procedure I see being used in this instance, however, looks more like this:

---Look at what's being said...
---Stare at the screen in a state of privately embarrassed befuddlement...
---Start searching for some way to dismiss the premise without having to reveal the fact that it went over my head...
...Take a wild guess at what the premise being presented might be saying, with particular emphasis on coming up whatever mis-interpretation is most likely to cause the most retaliatory embarrassment.


and a good time was had by all.

But no one here would say such a thing.

Ah, my mistake.

Apparently apples actually are objectively red.

Seems you fell into the same hole you claim others are in...

Considering you didn't bother to even attempt to demonstrate this, the only conclusion I can come to is that it seems that way to you because that's what's most comfortable for you.

That's why I'm around.

Thank you for the confirmation.

Except for the green ones.

 

[Quagmire]

Except for the green ones.

And those are objectively green. Gotcha.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

And those are objectively green.

What other color would green apples be?

 

[Quagmire]

Thank you for the confirmation.

Thank you for yet another empty and meaningless response.

 

[McBell]

Thank you for yet another empty and meaningless response.

You just keep further demonstrating it.

 

[Quagmire]

What other color would green apples be?

No color at all to a blind person.

Orange to someone wearing Blue-blockers.

Sort of rainbow colored to someone looking out of a window with oil smeared on it.

But then I suppose those are all objective perceptions too.

 

[Quagmire]

"It" being....?


Edit: Sorry Mes, but even after going back over the last few of your posts I'm still baffled as to what your point is.

Unless it's "nu uh, yeeeeeeeeeeewww are".

Do Green Apples and Red Apples and Yellow Apples exist in the world of a color blind person?

No, those are subjective filters.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Do Green Apples and Red Apples and Yellow Apples exist in the world of a color blind person?

If they live on Earth, yes.

 

[Quagmire]

No, those are subjective filters.

Unlike our own perceptions, those are objectively correct, is what you're saying?

 

[blackout]

Do Green, Red and Yellow exist (as such) independent of human sensory perception?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Unlike our own perceptions, those are objectively correct, is what you're saying?

I don't this so, but I'm not sure, as I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Didn't realize the conversation I was getting drawn into, but I'm not really attached to any side of things regarding objective/subjective. The arguments always end up boiling down to context and semantics anyway.
