Is 'logical fallacy' not an oxymoron of sorts?

Logical fallacy...did you just take an ethics course or something? I'm waiting for you to utilize Little Caesar or Geoffrey the Giraffe in straw man fashion.
Maybe dangle a red herring in your well-calloused fingertips...
We are making statements of absolute fact now? Wow.Ryokurin said:actually the realization that there is more than likely absolutely nothing after death is conforting to me.
FlamingGlory said:Not quite. More like the absence of evidence of absence is evidence of existence.
Fat Burger said:If I'm right, I go to heaven. If I'm wrong, then there's either nothing or I'm reincarnated. Neither of the three is necessarily bad, so why would I be afraid?
So you deny that you exist? Good job.Sarcasmo said:About as much as absence of evidence of existence is evidence of absence.
I think the whole "Jesus as his savior" coveres that (if of course we are right... which I believe we are )Sarcasmo said:What if you're right and you go to hell?
Hospital Hole sounds coolshawndavid said:elpmis,
Every time I think of death it's kind of like looking into corresponding mirrors from an angle into eternity. There's a place along the Weeki Wachee River here called Hospital Hole. The river is spring fed and only 20 or so feet deep at most in some spots so you can see the bottom clearly. Hospital Hole is about 50-75 feet in diameter and sits on the outside of a wide bend in the river. It's like 150 or so feet deep with a sulfur level around 75 feet I think. Anyway, going from swimming or canoeing over a shallow, light-bottomed river to hovering above that plunge into the deep, dark spring is a little overwhelming - you get a bit vertigo out of it. That's how I feel when I think about death. It's not so much the thought of dying, but more the consideration of eternity after that. My feeble mind can't contain the infinity.
Hey Zac & Ape - Wanna head up there one weekend? It's cool - we can rent the little, powered john boats and go snorkeling...maybe eat some acid

Let's start this again.Sarcasmo said:Is there an absence of evidence that I exist? Is there an absence of evidence that God exists? No and yes, respectively.
But to further explore those semantics, If you can tell me that because I can't prove that something you can't see or hear or touch doesn't exist that it actually DOES exist, then yes, I can tell you that something you CAN see or hear or touch doesn't exist when it does in fact actually exist. It makes just as much sense.
