That’s a loaded question. What type of god? You wanna define it before you ask if it exists.

given that we're very clearly talking in the context of a christian god here, I'm not sure what additional information you need

but what if i'm god ha ha he he

this is just that edgy teenager shit again

thinking that knowing that 1/3 * 1/8 = 1/24 is something that anybody wouldn't know is stupid

the point is the impracticality of the result being essentially equivalent to 95/3

so in other words you're helpless in that situation?

we can play the same game with 1/18th or whatever if you want

okay then my answer to the hypothetical is 9.5/3, which is every bit as easy to find on any measurement device, or to use for any practical purpose, as 1/24th

what's a 1/3 of 1/8th of an inch?

The first part is a response to "why would somebody be sad if their religion turned out to be false", which for the record, if you need it explained to you why that might be, you're really earning that "edgy teenager" label.

The second is saying that there's literally no way to be sure of answers on the scale of "is there a god?", science included

Philosophy asks some "why?" questions, but if you think it's equipped to definitively answer all of them you don't know much about philosophy.

how on earth was that your takeaway from that comment?

neither science nor philosophy can provide objective truth in answer to the question "is there a god?"

it's edgy teen territory to act like they can

voting for a little smidge of genocide isn't voting against genocide. it's still voting for genocide

and israel-palestine is more than a smidge

"well if you can't think of a solution, then 'full speed towards the ravine' is clearly the logical choice"

but what kind of protest is "I'll have no choice but to sell the ape"?

like even if your "threat" is losing you as a member of the community, you're still selling it to somebody else who will just take your place
