Thanks for all the answers! I think I will try out running PortableApps in Wine.

I was using Windows 10 for a while and I especially loved using Portable Apps. https://portableapps.com/ I recently downloaded and started using latest Quirky and I was wondering if there are any PortableApps made for Quirky? I found one site here: http://appimage.org/ and tried the Subsurface AppIm...

Will service-fixes be via Service Packs (aka like TahrPUP great approach) or via fixes/Fix-packs (aka @ETP magnificent approach)? Or will it be a combination of both (this would, of course, be ideal)?

Coming from TahrPup I am also interested in the answer to this question.

Artie I don't trust that any atheist can know about him or herself if they are rational or not. I find your text extremely machine logical and how rational is that. To be rational one need both logic and emotion. The emotion should try to tone down the destructive side of the extreme logic. Rationa...

Like talking to thinking machines. Their human part lost in logic or their human part locked by their logic. That is because to be an illogical human is reserved for theists, not rational atheists. :) Hi, Artie. Atheists can be just as irrational, illogical and emotional about their atheism as othe...

Emotionally I get muck out of the idea that there maybe exist gods. Intellectually it seems absolutely ridiculous to find any likeliness that such would exist and I've never hear a single evidence for God First you'd have to fabricate some intellectual concept of what God is, and then reject your o...

"Theism isn't a religion. It's just the presence of belief in the existence of god(s)." >>> actually, you have defined Deist here. Theism and Theology are normally associated with the Judeo-Christian Islamic god http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism I use "Theism, in the broadest sense,...

Where did I say babies were born with "extreme logic"?

nooby wrote:I don't trust that each baby are born with the extreme logic you express here.

What extreme logic?

Well it's conjecture what a baby is or isn't in touch with. They certainly aren't born a blank screen.

You think babies are born with a belief in gods? How would they even understand what a god is?

Babies don't have abstract reasoning.

Exactly my point.

But theist and atheist is something you can chose. So you should be able to not chose it. You don't choose to be born human and you don't choose to be born a weak atheist. Nobody comes out of their mother believing in gods. You can choose to become a theist, if you don't choose to become a theist y...

is it not odd that you being that good at logic fail to find a way to suggest what kind of identity that would be logical for me to have? I don't even know what you talk about when you say "identity" or what group you talk about. I am part of the group called humanity and me and all the o...

Artie I will try to not respond to you from now on or in the future. Your text take away all the hope on me finding an identity that gives my life a meaning. OK. We evolved so the meaning and purpose of any life is to be and stay alive and procreate so life can continue to exist. We evolved morals ...

2. Weak atheism (neither belief nor non-belief in the existence of gods, no belief either way) What is a "weak atheist" ? That's the first time I have heard that term. BTW. Your definition for weak atheist is the definition for an Apaththiest. I am apathetic to the existence or non-existe...

i trust that my main basic view that all gods are man made is the best explanation for the existence of gods in human culture. I can mention one forum that where rather interesting. reddit even have two agnostic subforums. http://www.reddit.com/r/agnostic/comments/1pyg2h/are_you_aware_that_you_cant...

3. There are no third options. Agnostic is either a theist or an atheist you can not be plain vanilla agnostic You are either agnostic theist or agnostic atheist. There is no need for an agnostic to be either a theist or an atheist. There is no need for an agnostic to have any beliefs about gods. &...

That is a strong agnostic. Not at all. An agnostic, as you said above is someone who "thinks that the existence of gods cannot be known". A strong agnostic. By contrast an 'ungnostic' has no idea if it is possible to measure 'Gods' existence or not - and therefore no matter how interested...

I suspect there is another category - 'untheist ungnostic' - someone who has insufficient facts about the existence of gods and who has no idea about whether or not it is even possible to find evidence of supernatural beings/powers, or to correctly measure such evidence if it was available.. That i...
