Contempt is easy on the net, which is probably where you are best at showing it. 😏
Oh, I guarantee I could show you contempt in person too.

Pitiful?? I would like to see you discover something better.

Only three means of cognitive perception. Descartes' bottom line conclusion stands as proof the first two can take us only so far.

You doubt I could hold you in contempt? Do you actually know what the word means?

I know you wouldn't have the mouth face to face!

If you don't know what contempt means look it up. You shouldn't use words unless you know what they mean contemptuous one! 😛

EDIT: Too bad we will probably never get the chance to meet in person, would enjoy that meeting!

Yea, just I thought.

Pitiful indeed!

You reject the possibility of empiricism and rationalism limitations? Einstein didn't.

Note: No diversion. Simply answered the question you meant to explore rather than the rhetorical straw man question you asked.

GB you just don't get this stuff. you clearly don't understand Descartes, you don't understand Einstein, and you probably think 'Kant' is a misspelling of 'Can't'. you are, once again, soooooo out of your depth.

not to mention dishonest. come right out and say that this is a pitch for faith in god, for christ's sake. then take it to spirituality or better yet, sh_i_te ideas.

lightweight.

You're probably right. Maybe I'll just tidy up the kitchen, start the dishwasher, brush my teeth, read Psalm 106:15 and call it a night.
