I don't think Seth understands the very simple and basic principle, that exceptional claims need exceptional verification evidence.
Sez who? You? And who gets to define what "exceptional claims" are and impose your arbitrary standard of "verification?"
So if the bible was just claiming that jim begat fred who begat george, then nobody would give a fuck if it was true or not.
Right.
But a book that claims to be inspired by the creator of the universe, and even more crazily, has as a character who claims to be the ONE AND ONLY SON of the creator of the universe, well that needs to be treated as fiction, until it can be confirmed as true with 99.999% confidence.
Why? What gives you the power to determine what truth is, how it is evidenced and to what degree of certainty?

At which point, you can start saying that it's possible.
Just because you are ignorant of the truth doesn't mean that it's not the truth.
Which makes the principle of religious tolerism a fools principle. It's giving respect to loonies.
And yet it's religious intolerance that has caused the worst examples of human rights abuse and genocide in recorded history.

I'd much rather tolerate the peaceable expression of religious belief than be an advocate of religious intolerance and bigotry like you are.

Absolutist fallacy. There is no absolute standard. Arbitrary is all there is.
Seth wrote: Why? What gives you the power to determine what truth is, how it is evidenced and to what degree of certainty?
See above. Same mistake.
Seth wrote: Just because you are ignorant of the truth doesn't mean that it's not the truth.
False witness fallacy. I didn't say that I knew the truth.

False comparison fallacy. I don't, nor never have, advocated the oppression of religious people.
Nor is there any danger of my views leading to any oppression by others.
It's religious people who like to do that shit. As in Israel, or Christian nazi Germany. Or Iraq or Syria.

I just like to express my contempt for the religious beliefs, and say how gullible I find the adherents.

Most religious intolerance is religiously inspired. The rest is political. Jedem das seine, but Gott mit uns.

That's real sweet, but your subjective feelings are meaningless unless you show how you properly arrived at them. Bald asseveration and carroteating win you no points here, son. :prof:

Absolutist fallacy. There is no absolute standard. Arbitrary is all there is.
Which means that your demand can be summarily dismissed as arbitrary. So be it.

IOW, nothing whatever gives you any power or authority to determine anything at all and therefore may be utterly ignored. Thanks for confirming that.

I didn't say you did, I said you don't know what is the not-truth, which is true.

So there. :Erasb:

You obviously don't understand the concepts of proving negatives. Not surprising as you have almost zero understanding of science and evidence.

You asserted that quarantine was the first and foremost power of government, then quoted some ratty translation of Leviticus like it was some sort of historical evidence your claim is true... :dunno:

Of course it can, you silly fucker. Everything I write is an opinion. You might notice, if you look carefully, that I give my reasoning to explain why I think something. But at the end of the day, you can dismiss anything you like. Didn't you know that?
Seth wrote: IOW, nothing whatever gives you any power or authority to determine anything at all and therefore may be utterly ignored. Thanks for confirming that.
See above. I'm amazed that you were under the impression that ANYONE has power or authority to determine anything.
Would you care to explain who or what you mean by that?

Feel free. I've had a full Catholic upbringing, and I know very well what Christians are taught, and the "reasoning" and "evidence" that exists for that shit.
So I do know as well as most Christians what I'm talking about. Better than most actually, which doesn't say a lot.

Surveys and tests regularly find that atheists know and understand more about religion than believers. That's a statistical fact established by testing.

You can't prove a negative of the kind: Prove that there isn't an invisible teapot floating around the earth. You can't only prove that there is. Searching for one and not finding it doesn't prove that it isn't there.
Not surprising as you have almost zero understanding of science and evidence.

Yes. Read anything he has to say on science and evidence. It is objectively wrong. Sciences and scientific evidence follow the principles of the scientific method. Seth shows no inkling that he understands the scientific method.
