It’s our way of getting through life. Once a lie is repeated and repeated, the real truth is suppressed and our constructed “truth” becomes what we think is reality.
Here are some signs that you might be intellectually dishonest when it comes to the question of God:
1. You only read/watch what you already agree with. You deliberately stay away from anything that might challenge your existing worldview. You do this simply to confirm your own prejudices. You deliberately stay away from anything that might challenge you. You start to unfollow people who post things on Twitter and Facebook that you disagree with. This is telling. When we truly feel comfortable with what we believe, we can happily imbibe contrasting or conflicting views. If you’re so sure you’re right, then why do you shy away? There’s a chance that you’re strengthening the foundations of a belief that you’ve built upon the sand.
2. People who disagree with me are stupid! We use extreme words like stupid or irrational to distance ourselves from the challenge, and wrap ourselves in protective labels. That’s why you don’t read or watch anything Christian — they’re so obviously deluded. But it’s not that, is it? Psychologically, you newbie atheists don’t want to be challenged by something, you need to convince yourself that it is ridiculous. We need to alienate it and dispose of it. So we start using extreme words like stupid or irrational, which help us distance ourselves from the challenge. This is where terms like “Magic Sky Daddy” come from. By reducing Christianity ‘ad absurdum’, we don’t need to worry about its potential truth. You wrap yourselves in protective labels.
3. You use words like ‘rational’ and ‘logical’ to describe yourself, but they don’t actually prove you to be any of those things. These words are like verbal placebos. They create a pleasant feeling of security in us without actually proving us to be any of those things. However, calling yourself logical and rational doesn’t somehow magically transform all your ideas into logical, rational ideas. You are the opposite of a “freethinker”

AFTER clarification that none of it meant any ontological commitment you AGAIN used the evasive "that's just an ad populum argument". Why the dishonesty? Why is it that you KEPT insisting I was making an Argument Ad Populum AFTER those Ontological Doors were addressed? And addressed BEFORE your last song and dance about "Argument Ad Populum"? You're merely lying at this point. You were specifically told that ontic commitments were not in those common/basic definitions. Yet you keep pretending otherwise. You're merely lying at this point. Ontological commitments were described as only coming after one gets started at the common starting points of things like First/Second/Third person and, heck, the fact that BOTH Atheists AND Christians use those starting points of Experience/Perception is one of the reasons WHY those definitions are so common ~ because we all get what the other is describing. What it MEANS down the line was specifically pointed out as just that: down the line when actual arguments come into play. That was all pointed out to you BEFORE your last run of "But See You Are Just Using Argument Ad Populum!" ~ which is why you should list all of your comments that have that phrase and all of my replies to them. Very easy to see. Hence the repeated questions to you about WHY and WHERE you claim to find an Argument Ad Populum. The Ya/Na of any ontic door had/has nothing to do with pointing out the fact that there are fairly common starting points / definitions used such as first/second/third person. You can get away with accusing me of Argument Ad Populum once for pointing that out but not several times after clarifications were given. Your own use of "argument ad populum" are (were) many and are from months ago. They are all still there. You're being evasive and dishonest. Again: Why did you repeatedly insist I made an argument ad populum? I’ll repeat the question: did I make an argument ad populum? List all the times in your comments that that phrase shows up and let’s see what’s what.

You say "Yes, I know that you already told it many times"

This referred to your “I don’t read”.

You don't read. Yes, I know that you already told it many times.

List all of the places you said you found an Argument Ad Populum and my replies to them. It's easy to do. Just search your own comments for "populum" and list your comments with my replies. https://strangenotions.com/atheists-who-want-atheism-to-be-true/#comment-5838755061
