-- Posted by Descartes at 11:44 am on July 4, 2009 I contend that we are both atheists. 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 -- Posted by Hi Jack at 11:44 am on July 4, 2009 you think therefore you are? -- Posted by LiveForeverDieTonite at 11:45 am on July 4, 2009 That's a very very good point.  I never thought of it like that. -- Posted by Total Destruction at 11:45 am on July 4, 2009 I have faith in Das Fueher -- Posted by GoodFairy13 at 11:45 am on July 4, 2009 But some non-atheists do not dismiss the belief of all other gods. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 11:46 am on July 4, 2009 Hmm who wrote that? -- Posted by Descartes 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. -- Posted by Worst Mod Ever at 11:47 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from GoodFairy13 at 11:45 am on July 4, 2009 But some non-atheists do not dismiss the belief of all other gods. If you believe that any god does not exist then you understand the logic behind atheism on some level. -- Posted by ToyJetpack at 11:47 am on July 4, 2009 I enjoy solipsism. -- Posted by Descartes at 11:49 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from ToyJetpack at 11:47 am on July 4, 2009 I enjoy solipsism. As do I. -- Posted by Dexter Ward at 11:52 am on July 4, 2009 Quote: from ToyJetpack at 2:47 pm on July 4, 2009 I enjoy solipsism.

I laughed, quite hard in fact. -- Posted by 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 -- Posted by Descartes at 12:17 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. He just says what it is to exist.

" 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.
