I am baffled, please explain

[SonOfMan]

If you don’t believe anything you can’t recognise contradictions!

Not true. All I have to do is understand what you profess to believe and catch you acting or speaking in a contradictory manner. So if you say you hate chocolate ice cream and I catch you eating chocolate ice cream, I can point that out without liking or eating the ice cream myself.

On which forum? Certainly not this one.

Plugging your ears and closing your eyes and repeating the same thing over and over after your statements are picked apart, does not qualify as a refutation.

Yes, that is an interesting tactic here…they even changed the description of the forum. True discourse, is no longer invited…and any contrary belief can be attacked with impunity.

Oh well,

If you don’t believe in anything you don’t believe in contradictions, i.e. logic…

If you understood, you would believe.

Someone hears talk of green and red and says that it is a contradiction. No contradiction if one understands that they are subsumed within the category of colours.

I’m not sure what you were referring to, but to act in a manner contradictory to one’s professed beliefs is hypocrisy. We are all sinners, and that is why we need Christ.

If logic is reduced to merely the random fluctuations of neurochemical activity, it would have no true validity. Even that idea could hold no truth, being merely a physiological event. No truth, just noise. If someone has lost their bearings, lost their footing on what is solid, I can see that view as holding great appeal.
