denmark, et al,

Yeah, that is a bit confusing sometimes.

What is “DK” on the chart? “Don’t know”?

I think he was asking about the legend. There are four groups. The smallest of which is listed as DK and represented as grey in each specific country.

The rows are the specific country.

You want gibberish broken down to you?

I want the flaw in my logic explained logically.

Crepitus understood it just fine.

Do you believe in a life force?

Not a big fan of star wars.

So if someone said they were an atheist and that they believed in a life force do you think that would make sense?

I would say they watch too many movies.

What logic?


Good for Crepitus.

rightwinger understood it.

Of what interest is that to me?

You tell me, you keep coming back.

 

[Mindful]

Which you can’t explain how it is nonsense.

It makes no sense. None of it. Like you made it all up. And cartoonish. But without logic. And no link to someone lucid who explains this properly.

Is that enough?

You still haven’t explained the error. All you are doing is saying it is wrong. You can’t show the specific flaw using logic and reason.

Gibberish is hard to refute as nothing in that statement makes any sense, and is not backed up by science. Look at it this way, try backing up anything in that statement with a credible site, otherwise, you likely made it up. So you should say: here's my theory... Then there might be something to discuss. But presenting it as fact without back-up is nonsense. Gibberish...

Why don’t you try to break it down fo me.

Maybe we're just sick of chasing you around the mulberry bush. You clearly have no interest in rational discourse, and it doesn't bother you to fling around blatant fallacies. And when they are pointed out to you, you just play dodge 'em. So, sort our your own logical clusterfuck. It should keep you plenty busy.

Do you know what he is talking about?

Ding's just trolling. I think maybe an atheist picked on him when he was a kid or something.

⁜→ denmark, et al,

How could anyone actually know anything about a 'Supernatural Entity?"

It is sad that so few are honest. Most appear to support their cultural or family views.
I doubt ANYONE “knows” about any supernatural entity.

(COMMENT)

To know something about a manifestation, you have to be able to define it relative to a given reality. How do you do that?

That is like saying you know something about the Supreme Being? First, you have to tell me what a Supreme Being is, and how I would be able to distinguish it from a parlor trick.

I think your position is “ignosticism”, based on a discussion i had with a practical philosopher.
A variant of agnosticism?

Because I think it is illogical for people who don't believe in a God to believe in a life force that is a spirit that animates their soul?

Give me a break.

I just don’t think that a god who wants us to follow a book is it. But a possible soul/ life force, then sure it’s possible.

There are so many variaties of religious beliefs. Even within individual religions there are vast numbers of variables.

I find it amusing that people still want to claim only one sect or variant is the "real" one, and all others are wrong.

The European Commission broke it down into four. You are in the group between atheists and theists.

The European Commission broke it down based on the numbers of people who believed what. That does not change my belief one iota. Nor does it change the definition of the word "atheist". My beliefs are not based on what the majority of any group believes.

 

[WinterBorn]

Lifeforce: the spirit or energy that animates living creatures; the soul.

Atheists who believe that there is a spirit that animates their soul just use a different word for God. They reject theology. They reject religion, but they do not reject God because they believe that all souls are animated.

Therefore, they aren't atheists. They believe in God-Lite.

Perhaps some believe that. I do not. I do not believe in any god. But I believe there is more to us than the purely physical. I do not believe that life force, as you call it, is the same as a god.

Contrary to what you think, that you think it illogical has no bearing on the validity of those beliefs.

Why do you feel the need to categorize people's beliefs or people by their beliefs?

Because that makes it easier to objectify them as 'the enemy'. Duh.

So if I have a belief that I should look both ways before crossing the street you would see that as subjective or relative?

Do you believe in reality?

How is this relevant? Reality is, whether someone believes in it or not. And there are medical terms for people who do not believe in reality.
