It is either one god or many gods.
What is the third choice???
You are creating an empirical false dichotomy based on the BELIEFS of humans which have no bearing epistemologically. There is only one reality according to all the empirical evidence we have.

Nothing in my exchange with Tzaph can lead you to my falling for "black and white, binary" thinking either.
It was strictly about concept of dichotomy. Concept, in which she is obviously a little bit out of her depth.

Deepities. Hmm have to look that up. must be some profound atheist wisdom then.
Quote:
Deepity

an idea or statement that seems to be profound but actually isn’t; coined by the philosopher Daniel Dennett
A deepity isn’t just any old pseudo-profound bit of drivel. It’s a specific kind of statement that can be read in two different ways: one way that’s true but trivial, and another that’s much more intriguing but false.

Empirical false dichotomy - what is it? What is the difference between false dichotomy and

empirical false dichotomy?


What does it mean "not to have bearing epistemologically"?


In the statement "It is either one god or many gods" where do you find mentioning of multiple realities?


Without proper explanations what you posted looks like is meaningless, incoherent word salad.

It all comes from the New Age BS Generator.

Is divinity immaterial then?

Oh, that's good! I was laughing hard.
And then decided to generate a few.

Rebirth is a constant. Consciousness consists of pulses of quantum energy. “Quantum” means a summoning of the mystical.
Priceless!

If christians lived their lives without infringing on the rights of others, it probably wouldn't matter...except intellectually.

But when you have christians telling us that we are going to hell -- as one poster here did just today -- it matters a lot.

It feels like I am in a discussion with a kindergartener. This thread is about OBJECTIVE reality and that is entirely established empirically, NOT by the BELIEFS of humans about reality. Of course, I forget, this forum and most of the people in it do not hold my view that reality itself and reality alone is the source of our existence and therefore our God. That makes your analysis of logic syllogisms based on false premises, IMO.

Yet again, you did not address a single question posted to you.
Maybe you just did not see them? May be bad lighting conditions, or maybe confusion of some sort.


That's OK. Not a big deal. I post them again. Please read it carefully so you can answer.

::Sigh:: In an analysis of the logic in objective reality, using premises that are NOT based on objective reality.
Quote:

::Sigh:: It means it is NOT based on empirical data. It is just opinions and beliefs.

::Sigh:: If you had reading comprehension beyond that of a kindergartener, you would know from the bold in my post!!! One reality = one God, IMO.
