Atheist: Prove to me God exists.

Believer: I am thinking.

Atheist: I thought you were already a believer.

Believer: There you go.

wtf?

One unstable isotope that is about to decay says to another:
"It ain't so bad. Haven't we both had rich, half lives?"

Sextus Empiricus and a Dodo bird walk into a bar, and Sextus say's "what are you doing here" to which the bird replied "you are so I am".

Mother Superior and Sister Mary were driving round the country lanes of Ireland when, suddenly, the Devil jumps onto the bonnet of the car.

"Quick!" shouts Mother Superior "Show him your cross!"
So Sister Mary leans out of the window and yells, "Get off the fuckin' car!"

You still live.

Hey Blame

Blame: You still live.

NS: At my age, that may be an exaggeration. I'd say it is more of a temporary resurrection.

Good to see (read?) you, Blame. I'm often being told that I am, "blame worthy," but then I think of you and know that no one is truly worthy of Blame.

But, tell me Blame:
"Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? (George Carlin)

A resurrection from existence? Because posting on this forum requires you to Not Be.


Indeed. That's part of the reason I picked this nickname.






And now to attempt to ruin the joke: Hypothesizing a world does not necessarily mean the world being hypothesized contains conscious entities that make hypotheses.

Furthermore, you could imagine the known part of the real world, which also contains only real situations.

It actually took me a while to get this...At least I think I get it now:

Blame: A resurrection from existence? Because posting on this forum requires you to Not Be.

NS: One can go from 'not being' to 'not being,' and still not be. Ergo, Non Sum.

Blame: Indeed. That's part of the reason I picked this nickname.

NS: It suits you well. IOW, you are completely to blame.

Blame: Hypothesizing a world does not necessarily mean the world being hypothesized contains conscious entities that make hypotheses.

NS: It would be necessary if hypothesized to contain such entities.

Blame: Furthermore, you could imagine the known part of the real world, which also contains only real situations.

NS: The known world ceases to have "real" situations the second I hypothicate it.

Great cartoon, thanks.

Jews don't recognize Jesus, Protestants don't recognize the Pope, and Baptists don't recognize each other in the liquor store.

The Philosopher and His Driver

A renowned philosopher was held in high regard by his driver, who listened in awe at every speech while his boss would easily answer questions about morality and ethics.

Then one day the driver approached the philosopher and asked if he was willing to switch roles for the evening's lecture. The philosopher agreed and, for a while, the driver handled himself remarkably well. When it came time for questions from the guests, a woman in the back asked, "Is the epistemological view of the universe still valid in an existentialist world?"

"That is an extremely simple question," he responded. "So simple, in fact, that even my driver could answer that, which is exactly what he will do."
