If you take that to its logical conclusion you end up at "I cannot doubt that I doubt, therefore, I am" (which is what Descartes was actually up to) and need a leap of faith to re-introduce even the existence of the material world because solipsism has just as much tangible evidence when considered from that refuge of pure egg-headed rationalism.
That's not so say that such a position is untenable, or unworkable, you could e.g. say "I will take any position that is compatible with both materialism and solipsism", hedging around the question. Point I'm making is that you're a reddit atheist who hasn't thought as deep about any of this than you think you did. You're not interested in the question, you're interested in distancing yourself from a position you associate with people who have hurt you in the past. Valid, of course, but how about focussing on the "hurting people" part instead of "can find meaning in the concept of a god" because the two are, indeed, orthogonal.
What the fuck are you talking about?
"I don't know" is the default. That's how epistimology works.
Yeah fuck right off. You know literally nothing about me. I probably know more about your hateful beliefs than you do.
Go beat your slaves (but not too much! Lucky for you, the Bible has very clear instructions on this!)
How do you know that you don't know? Can you be sure that you don't? Can you ascertain that you are not acting on assumptions you are not aware of, do not reflect on?
That is an actually skeptic mindset. Not your "Oh I don't share the same intuition as others they are wrong because they cannot justify theirs", but actually digging down into your own shit, seeing how much you can actually justify. Glass house, stones, and all that. Also that's not how epistemology is spelled.
True. I sorted you into the category of "reddit atheist" because you act like one, argue like one. Can I inquire about your reasoning behind sorting me into "Christian"? Because you're fucking ways far off.
