What I also can say however, is that your opinion is very common in the theology department, but theologists have not been taken seriously by rational people for a long time, so I think we do not share enough of a common vocabulary and understanding to

Well, maybe that is the thing. Maybe I just studied more, and gained insight on a level you never did?
As for what you say, I'm afraid it is wrong. I have studied philosophy professionally and I can say that I have plenty of good company.
@silas Well, they are the master race, so if they want to talk foodball, it's their right. 🇮🇱 ✝️
@firawy Excellent! Hopefully Trump will grind down the iranian leaders and liberate the people and the strait.
😂Chris Murphy, U.S. Senator: The Strait of #Hormuz was open before the war began; now we’re trying to solve a problem that we ourselves created😂
@Dan_Ramos Brilliant!
I'm having a hard time telling political satire accounts from the real ones lately.

@Dan_Ramos How much is a pizza where you live?
I think here in northern europe, my regular one is about 19 USD or so.

But the scientific facts remain, there is no god, demons, or supernatural, since no one has ever presented empirical proof of it.
Freud taught us that religion is a mental illness, or something similar to the appendix, psychologically speaking, so it

I do understand your yearning for god and meaning in life, and that requires, for some people, the belief in ghosts and spirits, and from a pragmatic point of view, this is ok. it gives you please, a feeling of superiority over "scientists" and a deep convition that there is "something else".

Incorrect. Fire, electricity, thunder, lightning, some forms of mental illness, there's millions of phenomena that are repeatable, that have been explained through repeatable experiments and so on.

the science side won the arguments, since the spiritualists, could not present any evidence.
@KingOfWhiteAmerica @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @James_Dixon @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn
This is incorrect, and this is dependent on the question under discussion. The question was if demons exist, and what evidence should support that. The conclusion is that they do not exist, and that no empirical evidence in the scientific tradition has been presented, and thereby

Ahhh... that explains it! You have never studied philosophy of science, and probably never worked as a scientist. It is very common for engineering types to believe that they are better scientists than scientists while having no idea about academic science, how it is done or its underlying assumptions.
@James_Dixon @shortstories @Sovereign @zeke @GoonPatrol @Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @KingOfWhiteAmerica @multiversal_gangstalker @thatfightnerd @thefinn
Thank you for admitting I won the argument. This takes strength of character!

I use the standard of evidence that the scientific method, the worlds most successful method of explaining the world, has defined.
Clearly you still seem to have difficulties understanding that questions about nature is not a court process. It is not. It is a scientific question, and therefore it demands scientific evidence.
