Just believe

Someone recently said that people who don't believe in the supernatural don't experience it.
Now where have I heard that before?
Oh yes, I know:

Only if you believe by artist Jim Warren

Funny how the longer you post Tarski, the more what is apparently you inherent juvenility gets the better of you.

As a supposedly stuffy 51 year olf mathemtics professor I be glad to be accused of a occasional rejuvenation.
Come on Coggy, just believe! I know you can do it if anyone can. It's the key you know----faith! By it's power worlds were created (and children fly!)

I take that back. What we are really observing here is not juvenility but infantilism.

But this only follows Tarski's general view, philosophical and political, of the world generally.

You forgot your catch phrase "LEFTIST!".
After that list of ways that the church is falsifiable, oh man, you just aren't going to get much respect around here. You can't even laugh, especially at yourself--and you should.

How would you define yourself?

I believe in an invisible flying pink unicorn. I believe in it because it can be both pink and invisible at the same time.

Oh, I get to answer for myself now?

OK
I am a mathematician, Jazz fusion guitarist, male primate from the species homosapiens, I enjoy nature, beautiful women, reading mathematical physics and philosophy books.

Oh, I bet you mean politically.
OK, I vote on an issue by issue basis if possible, I prefer greenery to concrete, I am not a big fan of continuing affirmative action, I believe I should be able to own a gun, I believe there is such a thing as welfare abuse and I also beleive that there are people who deserve a helping hand or second chance. I do not oppose all war but I think the Iraq war was ill advised while the war in Afganistan was a good idea. I do not think that this country is automatically better than all other nations in every way but I am proud to be an American. I admire the thinking Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Pain.
I think that Rush Limbaugh is dishonest and a jerk big mouth who is factually wrong regularly. He foolishly mocks science that he doesn't understand.
I believe in separation of church and state and I oppose any form of government endorsement of religion.
I have been a registered Democrat for about 1/100th of my life.
Excessive political correctness bugs me and I think we the universities are inflating grades of undergraduates everywhere with some exceptiosn and certifying incompetance all to often. I am not a fan of radical feminism and do not buy some of the weird theories about gender that I have heard.
On the issue of same sex parenthood, it is in need of study and I have only my hunches. I do not think gays are evil or lesser citizens.
