I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours. -Stephen Roberts

If you believe that any god does not exist then you understand the logic behind atheism on some level. I've been all three for periods, I understand.

He just says what it is to exist. Wait... existence=wondering whether you exist?   this seems a bit circular :/ Lol ya of course. His entire train of though is circular. " THe only certainty is uncertainty"...So...that certainty isnt certain? It's like saying, Rule #1, There are no rules. Wtf? I do not necessarily follow everything he says, his ideas are just very interesting and its fun to mind fuck people with them. Btw I laughed rather hard at the video "He didnt live long enough to have his mind fucked by Nietzshe" hahaha S0LITUDE Posted at 12:19 pm on July 4, 2009 you should watch this. It's a good waste to waste your time :D S0LITUDE Posted at 12:18 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Descartes at 9:17 pm on July 4, 2009 Quote: from S0LITUDE at 12:12 pm on July 4, 2009 I never quite got the whole cogito ergo sum thing, mainly because I was never sure what Descartes meant by existence Yes, he doesnt go so far as to define what he thinks is existence.

Descartes Posted at 11:46 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from Tyrannocore at 11:44 am on July 4, 2009 you think therefore you are? The only way to validate ones existence is by recognizing that, in questioning ones existence, he obviously exists. Therefore, since I think, I exist.
