@divegeester saidIf someone is of the opinion that it is 40degrees outside and it turns out that it was in fact 40 degrees outside is their opinion still subjective?
Unfortunately, in this analogy, there is no thermometer indoors to tell what the temperature outside is. Therefore opinions about the temperature outside remain just that, subjective opinions.
@dj2becker saidThis analogy is a dud. We are talking about things like your superstition and my lack of superstition. Not gravity. Not temperature.
If someone is of the opinion that it is 40degrees outside and it turns out that it was in fact 40 degrees outside is their opinion still subjective?
@dj2becker said"But what if I’m right?"
Sure, if I’m wrong. But what if I’m right? Is there any way for you to tell that I’m wrong?
Me spending time wondering whether you are right about your God figure will not turn your opinions into objective truths.
You spending time wondering whether you are right about your God figure ~ and whether my opinion is wrong ~ will not turn your opinions into objective truths.
@dj2becker saidI refer you back to my previous reply to you 7 posts down on the previous page. Obviously you missed it.

@fmf saidSince you have no observable evidence it is only your opinion that God does not exist, therefore you are unqualified to assert that it is another's subjective opinion that God exists.
Your opinion that the assertion "God exists" is "true" is your personal subjective opinion.
@secondson saidIt is not my opinion that "God does not exist". You have made this error about me maybe half a dozen times and I have pointed out your error to you every time. Repeatedly offering deliberate errors as a form of rhetoric is dreadfully weak debating.
Since you have no observable evidence it is only your opinion that God does not exist, therefore you are unqualified to assert that it is another's subjective opinion that God exists.
@secondson saidNo matter how qualified or unqualified one claims someone is regarding faith related to supernatural causality, it does not transform subjectivity into objectivity.

@secondson saidI don't deny the existence of a God or Gods. I lack belief in a God or Gods.
You've done a poor job of it.
You deny the existence of God. Is that your subjective opinion, of is it an observable objective fact?
Both your personal opinions and my personal opinions about supernatural things - including your God figure - are subjective and not objective.

@secondson saidYou have claimed I believe "God does exist" at least six times. I have corrected you at least six times. And yet you behave like the guy in Memento. If it's not 'deliberate', what then?
Deliberate? Don't be obtuse.
@secondson saidMy perspective is exactly the same as it was the previous six or so times I explained it to you.
If it's not your opinion, then what is it?
@fmf saidOn the contrary, you render yourself unqualified by asserting that the truth is based on subjectivity.
No matter how qualified or unqualified one claims someone is regarding faith related to supernatural causality, it does not transform subjectivity into objectivity.
If something is, then it is regardless of one's subjective reaction.
Your error is that you file everything that is as a subjective opinion, when in fact what is truth exists independent of subjective opinion, even if a subjective response appropriate.
@secondson saidYou haven't read my posts on this thread. I am asserting that what you claim to be "the truth" regarding supernatural causality and "divine" law are rooted in your subjectivity.
On the contrary, you render yourself unqualified by asserting that the truth is based on subjectivity.
