It was "I mean the conclusion that gods are products of the human mind rather than real entities."
It would be fine if you qualified it as saying "Every claim of a god I have looked at could be explained as a products of the human mind rather than real entities." But as it stands it is no more valid than an assertion that "All swans are white." Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Have you ever heard of inductive reasoning?
Do you dispute that the only known source of supernatural beings is human imagination? Do you dispute that the tentative and falsifiable theory that ALL supernatural beings are the sourced from human imagination is a strong, falsifiable and positively evidenced conclusion?

Sure, and it would be fine if you qualified it as saying "Every claim of a god I have looked at could be explained as a products of the human mind rather than real entities."
But you didn't. The rest is irrelevant. Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

But you are fine with the other unqualified statements which also rely on inductive reasoning. and it would be fine if you qualified it as saying "Every claim of a god I have looked at could be explained as a products of the human mind rather than real entities." Please explain why.

You will have to give me an example.

Here is Stragglers list.
quote: There is actually evidence that can be used to reach an estimate of the age of the earth, for space-time curvature, and that evolution actually took place. There is NO evidence that all gods are simply products of the human mind rather than real entities. It really is that simple.

Fascinating - but unconnected to the responses you gave Straggler. It really is that simple. You criticised Straggler for making an unqualified statement solely because it conflicted with your belief in god.And you clearly stated that you were happy to accept his other unqualified statements. I have no problem with you being a hypocrite - but I did want to point it out.

Okay, if that makes you happy it makes me happy too.

Again - a nice sentiment, but unconnected to my previous reply. Okay, if that makes you happy it makes me happy too. I expect that your dishonest debating technique is closely linked to your hypocrisy. Maybe one day you will have the courage of your convictions and finally face up to the criticism levelled at your remarks.

I accept your acknowledgement that your criticism of Straggler's examples was both biased and wrong. Okay, if that belief makes you happy, it makes me happy. Next time, please spend a few minutes thinking about what you are posting.Hopefully this will prevent others having to point out your mistakes and thereby force you in to being disingenuous.

I am also free to explain how they are biased and wrong - which I did.
