d he said the CIA told all of them what to do and what to say, basically.

That's not what I said, they earn a livelihood based on doing what their bosses tell them, yes they are paid to do as their told

s, it's not a hallmark of you being an independent thinker. Sometimes it's a hallmark that there are flaws with your rational framework. That doesn't mean you're crazy. It just means you don't have a sound intellectual epistemology.

Upon this rationale, atheists do not have a sound intellectual epistemology?

They do not share the majority Americans agnostic or religious beliefs.

Defend your claim.

Dude athiest are a much bigger part of the population than you tards.

Kind of a much different and difficult argument to debate too. Nice try though

Stay on point he said explicitly that if you did not believe what 98% of the population believes, based on no proof at all, there is something wrong with the ability to construct a rational case.

So, your counterpoint is that since atheists are are larger portion of the population then that does not apply.

State at which portion of the population must agree with one before they are determined 'crazy'

No he didn't. He said

And the reason atheism is a poor analogy is that atheists aren't making a claim that contradicts substantial evidence

No he didn't. He said

Good, I concede that he said a potential exists to not build a rational framework...
My counterpoint is that same potential for irrational idea construction exists in the majority population as well. Or "sometimes people of a population have hallmarks that are flaws in constructing rational framework."

Making his entire statement no value on this topic.

Some do, some don't. Some are mad at God because their mom died. Some have decided that intellectually they do not believe in God. It's not a binary question and there's not a binary answer.

And I didn't say anywhere in my post that reality or logic or truth is necessarily dictated by consensus. It's just that if you are going to depart from an established consensus, you should have quantifiable reasons for doing so. Not something like "I saw Americares was involved and they do Afghanistan contracting."

This is a cop-out. Everyone has a gut feeling about what they think is true based on the evidence they've seen. Just tell us, what is your gut feeling?

---

What's your gut feeling? What evidence do you have to prove it? What do you have to say about the CIA connection points, the drug industry connection points and the eventual gun laws that resulted?
What's your take that although Adam Lanza's body is reported to have been at the crime scene...that same report says the substitute teacher's DNA is found on the rounds in the gun?

I can't have a gut feeling when there is no consistent evidence in the case. We have memorials, we have a bunch of activities around the school, that's about it.

What is the counterpoint to these claims?

What non emotional argument do you have to the website uploads for united way and other websites 1-5 days prior to the event?

I'm not hearing any of these arguments...just that I'm a loon, crazy, and I'm supposed to have a gut feeling about something where the CIA has a consistent presence?

Why doesn't anyone want to challenge these claims, nothing but scoffing and namecalling?

If you give me sound counterclaims, I'll give you a gut feeling until then...one side is all name calling and emotion and some inconsistent or unavailable evidence, the other side is a substantial list of anomalies that when taken by themselves could easily be called glitches or mistakes or mild errors...as a whole they provide a shadow that leads anyone to believe that unless Connecticut wishes to release the redacted evidence...the public should be apprehensive about an incident that took place 1500 miles from their hometown.

My statement is completely accurate

I did not refute your assertion of SOMETIMES...

I agreed and said it equally applies to the majority population as well.
