[Arlo had said] Umm.. name me something that is not "harmonious with reality" or "attuned to the world"...
[Platt] Name something? How about "God?" According to the atheists among us, that's something "not harmonious with reality." [Arlo] How about, since "attuned to the world" and "harmonious with reality" was YOUR claim, name something ACCORDING TO YOU? Or is evasion the best you can offer when pressed about your own words? [Platt] Of course, if they want to say otherwise, I'm all ears. :-) [Arlo] I've never said anything was or was not "harmonious with reality" or "attuned to the world", so I can't say "otherwise". The labels are inane, that's the point. But, again, since they are YOURS, and you've offered a few things that ARE, why don't you tell us what you'd say ARE NOT?
