✈️ BE REAL… DOES THIS BOTHER YOU OR NAH? Plane just landed… doors still closed… and people already standing, reaching for bags like they’re about to beat everyone off the plane 💀 We’re all stuck here for a minute anyway… Does this annoy you… or you don’t care at all? ⬇️ 🇺🇸

@pureMetatron @PoorDecisionsMW Are you saying that unless you prove a universal negative, any belief in something requiring that type of evidence to disprove it cannot be considered delusional?

Metatron@pureMetatron·
This is actually very wrong linguistically and philosophically. First this is the actual definition of a delusion: "a false belief or judgment about external reality, held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary" Linguistically faith does not satisfy the requirements for the definition, unless you can demonstrate with incontrovertible evidence that there is no God. Note that I'm not saying the burden of proof is on the atheist, that's a different discussion. I'm only stating that without incontrovertible evidence you cannot classify faith as a delusion. But I have more to say. A belief without evidence and reason about something that isn't true, is just a wrong belief. NOT a delusion. A belief without evidence and reason about something that is true, is a correct belief. Two working examples. Scenario 1: I believe there are aliens on Mars. I have no evidence for it. IF we explore Mars and IF there are no aliens, then it's a false belief. If I still believe it after the incontrovertible evidence, THEN it becomes a delusion. Scenario 2: 2 - I believe there are aliens on Mars. I have no evidence for it. IF we explore Mars and IF we find the aliens, then it was a true belief. So returning to faith, we proved faith cannot be linguistically classified as a delusion. Whether or not the belief is false or correct cannot be known by us before incontrovertible evidence. Moreover whether or not we know it, the belief is already true or false based on the ontology of the thing which is believed. If God does not exist, my belief would be false whether I know it or not. If after proof of God's non existence I still believed it, then it becomes a delusion . But if God DOES exist, then my belief would be correct whether I know it or not, even in the absence of initial evidence. Denying the existence of God after the incontrovertible evidence would then become the delusion.

@IsaacRo35989181 @PoorDecisionsMW @pureMetatron Pascal's Wager is the one that I get the biggest kick out of, because it works equally well if you swap out God for an evil mutant tomato called Tim who has magical powers and will punish you. Some people actually take that seriously, though.

@W0DEHOUSE @IsaacRo35989181 @pureMetatron The search has been exhausted. For thousands of years humans have claimed that there's evidence yet not one of them has provided it. It's time to put the bullshit to rest.

@W0DEHOUSE @pureMetatron @PoorDecisionsMW If you "know" that the supernatural doesn't exist because it can't exist (all you clever naturalist/materialists), how do you know? Also, stop misunderstanding what is meant by positive and negative claims. If you don't believe God exists, then you DO believe God doesn't exist.

@PoorDecisionsMW @IbaraEleven We tried this "low tax for the rich" bullshit and now everyone's broke and nobody builds things anymore and all our infrastructure is crumbling and every city has no money despite this. Tax on the wealthy should be back to 70% like FDR intended before Reagan fucked it up.

@tuvya68 @TonyLaneNV Yes, it absolutely did the night I needed to run to another gate and was literally the last to board and had to yell to get their attention as they were closing the door. You really are an aggressively stupid person.

@PoorDecisionsMW @TonyLaneNV No matter what you believe, standing in the isle will never make a difference if you make it or not. And they wait where possible if its a decent airline and they aren't already behind schedule.

@RoyalistW It's not an external tormenter. It's an internal torment. No matter where you go or what you do, it will be there at full strength. This is what you do not understand.
