Knowing isn't required for either believing or disbelieving.

[-] Leg@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Something seems to have triggered you. Are you okay?

[-] bloom_of_rakes@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago

Don't be defensive, address my point instead.

[-] TangoUndertow@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

You don't have a point, other than you should just trust your gut or something?

[-] Leg@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

You're not really making any meaningful points for me to interact with, and as such I have nothing in myself to defend. You seem to just be really cranky and hostile.

That's where your downvotes are coming from, by the way. You're not appealing to reason; you're more just being kind of a dick.

Well the fellow that I replied to implied that understanding is necessary for belief/disbelief. And then I said that it ain't so.

So you might try addressing that very definite and relevant point.

[-] Leg@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yes, I've heard of faith before. Philosophically riveting stuff, I'm sure.

I'm simply here to say you might try being less intellectually hostile. This extends beyond your interaction here. I agree with your sentiment, but you don't exactly make people want to meet you where you stand. There is no "them" for you to fight. It's just us.

But knowing is required for not being dumb.
