| ManusJustus said: I just made up the monster from Mars, so with 100% certainity I can say that the monster will not bring myself or anyone else gold. There is a Lepreachuan in my kitchen making scrambled eggs, I just made that up I am 100% certain that this is not true. You will lead a very 'complicated' life if your actions in real life are a reflection your arguments, because the way you try to explain your point means that you can never reject anything. Logical people are able to reject things that are not true, illogical people are unable to. Thats the entire reason of logic, to be able to reason and make judgements about the world we live in. I am actually a super intelligent bacterium from the planet Kobob that was sent here by King Couscous to cause you grief. I am also using your computer to look at porn and illegally download music while you are away. The only way you can get rid of me is if you put your computer in the washer, using hot water and bleach. Please reject this idea. EDIT: Nevermind, there was a Leprachuan in my kitchen, and he makes a mean omlet. |
Stating "You will lead a very 'complicated' life if your actions in real life are a reflection your arguments" just after I said:
"Just because I don't reject it, doesn't mean I adopt it. Of course I woudln't use it in decision making unless there was something to back it up."
-makes me think that you're either a trolling or just aren't good with arguments.
"Humpty Dumpty is a work of fiction.
Works of fiction do not exist.
Therefore, Hupty Dumpty does not exist."
- work of fiction may be based on real story. work of fiction may happen to be found true in the future by 'chance' as you would say, or by any form of evidence that proves it. therefore "Works of fiction do not exist" is invalid
"I haven't actually thought anything that stupid, but I am grateful when people point out that I am wrong about many things in life.
Why would this not apply to someone's opinions on God, sea monsters, fairies, and other such 'supernatural' ideas?"
-Because we all have our own reasons and personal ideas, ideas, opinions and hunches aren't harmful on their own, they are what propels us forward. Nesting on one idea without considering other possibilities is what stops you from moving forward.
And again, just to re-tell you something obvious; stating something is false when you don't know if it's false, is illogical.
I have nothing more to say to you Manus. If you can't adhere to logic and really believe that it's 100% impossible for something made-up to be true after I even stated an example a couple posts back that totally proved that idea wrong, then I don't feel like arguing with you.
