Time Saving Truth
Skeptic: No one can know the truth.
Christian: Is that true?
Skeptic: Yes, it is true.
Christian: So, one can know certain truth. In your case, it is true that no one can know the truth.
Skeptic: What if I change my answer to “No, it is not true.”
Christian: Well, if what you told me is not true, why should I listen to you.
Skeptic: Okay! But that was just my personal opinion.
Christian: Is your personal opinion true then?
Skeptic: Opinions are neither true or false. Its a free country, I am entitled to what I say.
Christian: It is a free country in a sense that you are free to speak your mind. I am just asking if what you’re free to speak namely “No one can know the truth” is true.
Skeptic: That is just your opinion of what it means by a free country. Which is neither right nor wrong.
Christian: What about my opinion of 2 + 2 = 3, is that also neither right nor wrong?
Skeptic: It is wrong, 2 + 2 = 4.
Christian: So, opinions can be right or wrong.
Skeptic: Oh! I never thought of it that way.
Héhéhé…that’s a good one…good point, but we can always assign probabilities to the truth, whether or not we can know it with certainty (we might invent some super-machine or something, make some discovery that could actually prove that God exists or doesn’t, even if such a thing seems inconceivable to us today, settling the question once and for all)…
I agree with you Hehe :)(–
what is in the brackets)Hahaha…I feel what’s in between the parentheses is highly implausible myself…but I wouldn’t call it “impossible” on those grounds (who’d have thought of relativity, or the strangeness of the quantum world)?…
You remind me of a philosopher, Auguste Comte…he wrote that we would never know the chemical composition of the stars, and, brr…before he had those writings published, it had been done…take it from Justin Bieber: “Never say “Never” “…(héhéhé, from “The God Delusion”, I just looked it up; you see, we nonbelievers have a copy readily available for life threatening situations)…
“Never say never” But you have already said Never in trying to tell me not to. You said I should “NEVER”(you saying never) say Never 🙂
Hahaha…good one, resembles the article (which I agree with)…but not so fast, héhé, I mean “Never say something will never happen”, one “never” is about speaking , the other about possibilities …
Hope it comes out looking alright, finally remarked the HTML recommendations at the bottom of the comment box, trying them out…I’m so blind…
I didn’t mean to italicize the ending, héhé…but I guess that works…
Hehe 🙂
Haha…go to hell…
No! We should go to Heave 🙂
