Merged The razor of Hitchens and the Spirits!

[Calderaro]

Yes, you've posted the same link three times now. You asked what the term means to me. I've told you.

What makes you think the subject matter in that article is relevant here?

criticism is not for you! i know you are not a pseudoskeptic! stay calm!

 

[Thermal]

Brother, we must fight pseudoskepticism!

It's not currently a problem here. What *is* a problem is getting you to respond to argumentation.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

In your case these reactions are based on your unwillingness, and inability to present evidence to support your claims. You've come here looking for a fight, and complain when you get one. The disdain comes from your unwillingness to defend your claims in any way. You're just a troll.

If you're not a troll, and genuinely believe in spirits then gather your evidence, and present it.

If he's not a troll he should take the time to understand the terms he used in the post I've repeatedly referenced and give the meanings, if he understood what he posted it would be a first step in understanding why it is not evidence for spirits.

 

[Calderaro]

Answer questions or admit you can't.

I will answer you later! Until then, fight your pseudoskepticism! You don't even know what pseudoskepticism is! You need to study more! Brother!

You posted the link specifically in response to me. I don't buy that you consider me any different than the other posters here. What do you think is relevant about the subject matter in that article?

 

[P.J. Denyer]

If I accept that spirits exist, I will have to admit that there are things I don't understand, and that makes me uncomfortable.

If you have a mustard seed of honesty you must spend a lot of time in discomfort...

 

[JayUtah]

I will answer you later! Until then, fight your pseudoskepticism! You don't even know what pseudoskepticism is! You need to study more! Brother!

No, your critics are not ignorant. No, your critics are not pseudoskeptics. Calling them names repeatedly reflects badly upon you, not them.

 

[Calderaro]

If you're not a troll, and genuinely believe in spirits then gather your evidence, and present it.

I've already presented the evidence! You need to study pseudoskepticism!

 

[Thermal]

I've already presented the evidence! You need to study pseudoskepticism!

You need to stop being rude, my dude.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

I've already presented the evidence! You need to study pseudoskepticism!

Please stop posting rubbish.

 

[JayUtah]

I've already presented the evidence!

You've admitted you don't have appropriate evidence for the method you agree is best suited to test it. If you don't have any better evidence, and you're not a troll, concede the point.

You need to study pseudoskepticism!

The objection to your claims is not based on pseudoskepticism as your article defines it. It is based on standards we've now agreed are appropriate, and which you agree you cannot meet. Unless you are withdrawing that agreement.

 

[MarkCorrigan]

criticism is not for you! i know you are not a pseudoskeptic! stay calm!

But you've never substantiated your claims anyone here is.

Now answer my question an stop dodging it.

This changes nothing: it is still an insult used by credulous people like yourself who do not accept skepticism.

 

[Calderaro]

No, your critics are not pseudoskeptics.

You are not a pseudo skeptic but they are pseudo skeptics! They have proven that they are pseudo skeptics and this undermines true skepticism!

 

[Calderaro]

Now answer my question an stop dodging it.

What question exactly? I'll answer later!

 

[JayUtah]

You are not a pseudo skeptic but they are pseudo skeptics! They have proven that they are pseudo skeptics and this undermines true skepticism!

I do not accept your distinction. Please answer my questions and stop trying to divide your critics.

 

[MarkCorrigan]

I've already presented the evidence! You need to study pseudoskepticism!

No, you posted things that we dismantled and explained why they fail as evidence.

Now stop dodging and answer my question, or any of the myriad points raised against your disjointed nonsense ramblings.

 

[MarkCorrigan]

I know that's what Christians believe. All you've done is state that a specific group believes it. I asked you why you would presume that spirits exist. You have failed to answer my question. Try again.

This is just one of the many, many questions and points you've been running away from.

 

[Calderaro]

This changes nothing: it is still an insult used by credulous people like yourself who do not accept skepticism.

I do not accept pseudoskepticism! Have some intellectual humility!

 

[MarkCorrigan]

You are not a pseudo skeptic but they are pseudo skeptics! They have proven that they are pseudo skeptics and this undermines true skepticism!

How have we proven that? What differentiates my postings from Jay's? What criteria have you decided that I am a pseudoskeptic and Jay is not?
