Today’s Forays in Facebook Philosophy – 2018-9-23

Again, I did not prepare to log my work, so I do not have the URLs to the discussions, and am tired of all that, so I’m not going to go back and get them, so I’ll just summarize from memory.

I objected to the use of “regressive left”, which is always used in ignorance, in my experience.  I explained what regressiveness is, and how it really doesn’t apply to the attitudes and behavior they are criticizing.  They ought to have used some combination of cowardice, dissimulation, and hypocrisy.

I objected to categorizing Atheism as a religion.  I explained what seems to me to be a requirement for a belief system, an ideology, to be a religion, and how Atheism does not fulfill that requirement.  I also had to demonstrate that there are beliefs which are not religious in nature.

I also demonstrated the use of Modus Tollens to prove that there is no god (outside of the minds of those who communally create one).
