The whole point about Russellâs Teapot is / was / still is, that it is unfalsifiable. It can never been found or proven. Can it ?!!! Exactly. He specifically meant his Teapot to be a metaphor for an unfalsifiable concept. God also, meant as an analogy for something unknowable, may only seem unfalsifiable, but it may or may not actually be so. Well then, as I said, it works on all levels, Russellâs Teapot and God are indeed equally unfalsifiable Of course God is mythical just as Russellâs Teapot is mythical. No amount of searching, no telescope, no dialytic refractor , is ever going to find Russellâs Teapot in any way differently than is the same for God. They are equally plausible (ie they aren't), they are equally unfalsifiable. Whatâs astonishing is you destroy your own argument, shoot yourself in both feet at the same time and make my point all in one post.
You repeat quote mine the same stuff over and over. Each time you're given good reason why your claims for them are unsound. So what do you do.... You repeat quote mine the same stuff over and over. That's why it's old and lame.
What's it like to be so STUpid that even the simplest concepts are beyond your grasp? Russell's teapot is absolutely falsifiable because it involves a physical object in a specified, finite amount of space. God is of unknown composition and location. To continue to STUpidly and childishly maintain they're "equally unfalsifiable" even after I've corrected you is hilarious. P.S. even if you improve Russell's original teapot to something that seems unfalsifiable today (as Russell's construct did to him at the time) you still can't say God and the teapot are "equally unfalsifiable." (see below) This is STUpid on so many levels. You don't know God is mythical, you just "think" so. Which means you don't even know what you don't know. What can be said with certainty about God and falsifiability is: if God does exist it can't be proven God doesn't exist and, if God doesn't exist it can't proven God does exist. You can't ASSume God is mythical and pretend that your imagined equivalence in falsifiability magically equals an equivalence in plausibility. That's incredibly STUpid and truly pathetic. Projecting doesn't make something so. As I said before, please seek professional help.
how sad it must be to go through life afraid. that is the very essense of superstition. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man -- living in the sky -- who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do.. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time! ..But He loves you. written by George Carlin:
We dont worship him because we are scared. We worship him because he provided a way for us to avoid Hell. If a Judge sentences you to death, and the judges son comes in and says "Hey, i will accept his punishment for him" how grateful would you be to that guy? Out of respect for what he did for you, wouldnt you try to keep the judges laws after that?
wtf. he designed this so called hell as a place to torture you. it is amazing what religion does to the mind of its believers.
Technically it's to torture the non believers and unrepentant sinners or so the story goes. Or IOW YOU and me. You can include fanaticism in that remark as well, including your own fanaticism.
You've been a believer longer than I have if I remember correctly. You believed for some 50 years. What does that say about your mind.
There is so much stuff that doesn't fit the Atheistic world view that it's incredible the amount of faith they must have to persist in it...
