<Which brings us back to LESS, DAK, and YOU. You have ALL said sweet piss all in the last hundred posts.> ROFMAO!! Well, that's certainly makes a lot of sense... OTOH you can throw you post in with the lot and make it 101 :) DAK PS: You might also note PopeGreg's predilection to fly off the handle and simply LIE like a sac of excrement... which is not a habit of either Less, myself, or most other posters. But that's an aside.

"Say Myrt, who are these gentlemen?" "Gentlemen?! Cut out the sarcasm!" Ah, thanks for the uh... support....I suppose. :) With friends like you... ;^) "You have no arguments for souls, angels, ensoulment, unicorns, the Loch Ness Monster, Bramha, Krisna, Allah--or the three stooges." Now you've gone too far. Moe would smack you for that remark. "What's that for? I didn't do nuthin'!" "That's in case ya do and I'm not around!" ............................................. If anything: it's your Atheism that is unsupported by the facts. There is plenty of evidence that God, and specifically the God of the bible exists. It's not a shock that people who have their hands firmly clamped over their eyes claim not to be able to see it. It's really kind of funny to watch. "I SEE NUH-THING" .................................... As far as premises go they have no extension in space now do they. How then given your own atheistic standards, can you demonstrate them to exist? You claim reason to be your master but you can't demonstrate reason without engaging in the circularity of using reason now can you? ............................................... further: Atheism can give no satisfactory explanation for the existence of transcendent ethics. Yet they are always complaining about the supposed failure of others to live up to their own personal feelings while at the same time demanding that no one can force their morality on them.

"But rational argument accounts for NOTHING if your premises are false. So arguing details against LESS, MORE, OR "I can't remember that dream"...MEANS NOTHING." As I recall, I began my interactions in this strand(s) by posting truism(s) from less_'s virtual unabridged guide to truisms... For which I was challenged??? not on the internal validity of said truisms but for who/what I may or may not represent (phantheistic monist) and eventually attacked personally with graduated severity. In the process, I've tried not to deviate from presenting simple truth and I don't believe I have. It is not possible to avoid religious contexts when interacting with a religionist perspective, however. I still feel I have held to my goal of sticking with simple truth. This religionist perspective was more apparent as related to the second strand tangental piece of discussion (Duncan's article) than the initial conversation about 'right' being bound to nature. Which premises are you referring to as 'false?' "My recommendation to you and DAK and LESS is a Diamond Willow Wizard Staff--and a KAYAK...and maybe a few books... Excellent advice, thanks ... which also does nothing to further humanity btw. I was not under the misconception that furthering humanity was my task in the first place, however.
