Fine. Here we go:

God exists.

I cannot prove this claim, so it must be untrue.

There, I fixed it.

More like zenithAIBot

That's a triple negative. So Zenith there, having made the third strike, is out.

Wait, that's not what the three strikes rule means? Well I mean according to Zenith's logic it is. You can't tell me he's right and I'm wrong twice. My double negative cancels out to a positive.

So the logic is that, whoever speaks first is the one who has to prove it? In that case we can go back to the earliest time these guys ever came up that there was this single deity named God. They never proved him back then, never did so now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

no but see that was olden times so it doesn't count, only now once it's an established assumption does this rule go into effect and count.

unless I think of a new thing I want you to believe. then it has a teensy weensy time-out while I say that, then it's back in effect again.

That’s a well charged battery

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

Well since you said it... I now need you to prove its well charged.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Well since you said that you need to prove to me it's not well charged.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Clearly they are miss-underestimating the implications of the axiom habet multam industriam or… something like that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Now that you all said your stuff, I want proof that you said it, as per the lorem ipsum eunt romanes axiom

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

What is this supposed language you SAY exists? I need proof of this alleged... "Latin".

[–] [email protected] 26 points 18 hours ago

Simple: just deny his denial. Now he has to provide proof.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 23 hours ago (3 children)

Oh shit, he said something in Latin. Saying something in Latin means it's always correct since it sounds so clever. Quod erat demonstrandum, the argument ends there.

Levi-oh-SAAAAAAAAAAAH you pleb

Latin and Greek are like the Ornstein and Smough of Western prescriptivism.

Everyone knows quiquid latine dictum sit altum videtur

I just want to add Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

1: I'm not afraid of the inferior siege engine.

2: that's an amazing quote, where is it from?

Used to be an old BBS thing back in the day

If we did away with organized religion, we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Greed, fear, and ignorance are the causes of all our woes.

Religion is just how the worst people look themselves in the mirror afterwards.

It has to be like the axiom said otherwise the axiom doesn't work.

Gee thanks pal.

"That's an awful nice axiom you have there. Would be down right awful if something should happen to it."

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago (3 children)

it's fairly easy to prove that no god exists.

jainism is a religion which negates the existence of god. islam is a religion that negates the existence of any god but their almighty.

if there did exist a god, s/he would not allow a situation where both these religions can co-exist. because any god except allah is excluded by islam, and allah themself is excluded by jainism.

ergo, god does not exist. quad erat demonstrandum.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

This reminds me of Ricky Gervais joke:

So you believe in one God I assume... there about 3,000 to choose from. So basically you deny one less God than I do. You don't believe in 2,999 Gods, and I don't believe in just one more.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

if there did exist a god, s/he would not allow a situation where both these religions can co-exist.

All this proves is that he doesn't care about the intricacies of organised religion, not that he doesn't exist.
