@wil_da_beast630 Knowingly or unknowingly, the secularist relies on axiomatic truths that could just as easily be dismissed as ‘“magic”, including the assumption that a mind shaped by unguided, natural selection is somehow a reliable guide to truth
@wil_da_beast630 Also “at some level” is doing heavy lifting here. Many of us feel deep regret “on some level” about many things that bring us joy on net
@burnthalies@FTL_Bonnie@jeremykauffman@RHEasingwoodII Truth being a prerequisite for argumentation doesn’t get us to Truth being “good” per se. This establishes Truth’s practicality, not moral value.
Also, appealing to discourse’s goodness is question-begging as you’re assuming Truth is good to prove it’s good
@FTL_Bonnie@jeremykauffman@RHEasingwoodII@burnthalies Starting from the premises that our existence is accidental and devoid of purpose, how does one arrive at the conclusion that Truth is a universal good in the first place?
“I’m saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don’t give a flying fuck he died,” says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @NYCMayorsOffice. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson’s teenage sons “are better off without him” and should “enjoy the blood money.”
