What?
Once again.
I don’t think you know what you are trying to say. I thought you were trying to be clever but I now believe you are just confused.
Confused? You’re the one who at one moment confuses existence of concepts with the existence of the thing. But then pointed out the error when I swapped “evil” out for “God.” A fatal contradiction.
No, I think you are making that up.
Your post is right there. You don’t believe in the existence of evil. You only believe humans have thoughts. When I baited you with God you flat out demonstrated that humans having concepts and thoughts doesn’t make the thing exist.
You don’t believe in the existence of evil.
Just admit you talked yourself into a massive self defeating contradiction you yourself demonstrated by
taking the bait.
Sorry, but you are making up things again probably due to your confusion.
Ah, you’ve been reduced to this. Ok.
After you said evil exists because we can form various concepts and thoughts, I baited you with God. You made an argument that thoughts exist. Not the thing/being. Lol.
I think you are confused. Saying a concept’s
existence doesn’t mean it exists as anything other than as a concept is not saying it can’t exist other than as a concept. In other words, something existing as a concept doesn’t necessarily mean it exists as anything other than a concept but it also doesn’t mean it can’t exist as something other than a concept.
Rofl. Does it exist as anything else other than a concept? Yes or no.
You baited? You naughty YouTube intellectuals worshipping Ben Shapiro are so scary.
You are way overusing the Shapiro line.
And a reminder
Evil as an adjective that modifies a behavior or action exists. In other words, something is not evil until it gets labelled as such. But of course, some could argue that it isn’t evil. Why? Because inherent evil does not exist.
It doesn’t mean he doesn’t exist either.
Ok.
But I am dealing with the fact that you said it doesn’t mean something exists because there is a concept of it.
Yes. A concept does not necessarily exist as anything other than a concept. That does not mean it doesn’t exist.
I mean, I’m the one arguing that the existence of concepts says nothing about the existence of the thing (God, evil). And the existence of definitions are the same.
So, in order to believe in the existence of evil faith is required. You don’t have empiricism. Evil isn’t under a lens on a slide for us to verify objectively. And just as we established, concepts themselves doesn’t speak to existence (or, God also exists). So, if one continues to maintain things are good or evil, they are left relying solely on faith.
Why do you keep repeating this so insistently? Do you genuinely think saying something over and over without changing anything will suddenly sway people that disagree with you?
Or they’re left deciding what they believe is moral on their own? That doesn’t require faith at all?
Or hell, they’re using any number of other criteria that isn’t god to determine right and wrong.
