In this famous thought experiment, which could actually be done, someone might say, "well, since by definition, we don't know whether the cat is alive or dead, the statement that the cat is alive is by definition false."

True, it is false in the sense that we can not know that it's alive. Therefore the statement that it's alive is false.

What might be easy to miss though, by someone who is only parroting this argument and using it in a fallacious way, is that the exact same reasoning can be made regarding someone who says the cat is dead.

That statement is also false.

We just don't know.

But all the physical evidence and historical documents isn't going to convince you that Christianity could have easily been a footnote in history if it weren't for Constantine.

Why do you say that? If Chrisitianity is little more than Constantine's invention, I don't want anything to do with it. Why live for a lie? That would be tragic.

If there's good evidence that Christian beliefs were not actually established by Jesus and Paul in the first century, but rather by Constantine, I will reject Christianity. I will read that book.

At this point, I just want the truth.

Dan,

I'm behind a Websense firewall, so I cannot watch any videos right now. What is the video about? Can you explain it in words?

You can't handle words!

That's an extremely rude comment, is it not? Why should I take you seriously any longer?

No, your humor detector is malfunctioning. Try hitting it on the side.

Homo Economicus. Like Bigfoot, reported to exist in fantasy books, but never seen in the wild.

Is that pedophile Cloud still stalking me? I have him on ignore but, this comment seems to indicate that the stalker is still jizzing out his mental masturbation. Talk about obsessive. It's like I'm reliving Single White Female.
