On second thoughts, it provides no context and the discussion isn’t really worth following anymore.
It hasn't been worth following for a while in some ways. Good to see the members getting fired up though. At this stage I probably need to break up some of the issues into seperate threads, but I don't want to interfere with the momentum of the argument at this stage.
Dare I say that it went down hill the moment Ming decided that he was an authority on atheism?
It is very possible that this was the point things went down hill, though I feel some arguments of the form 'I don't like it, therefore it is wrong' were also dwelling in the valleys. Outside Ming's lack of understanding of certain philosophical nuance, I fail to see how existentialism is an untenable position, when considering that clearly in the point of disbelief in God in a strong sense, can easily allow a for belief in 'god' in a 'weak' sense which includes reducing everything to accident. Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't that essentially what atheism is?
