    Again you don't understand what logic is....lolNickolasgaspar

    Logic is a totally boring subject. It's math that's interesting. The world is a place without inherent logic. That exists in the mind only, and some people even build a philosophy on it. I can easily understand logic. What's so difficult about that. If it's your strong side, I can imagine you worship it. But I don't and have not the slightest intention using it. So it's only logically you wont hear logically sound arguments from my side. I base life and philosophy on something deeper than such surface phenomenon.

    "This is the argument you are using to posit a god called Cosmos which is 'more omnipotent' than omnipotent! In your world infinity + 1 is bigger than infinity?"

    Strawman, You are missing the point of what an ad absurdums is and does and this shows that you don't understand it.
    The Ad absurdum analogy is designed to be as irrational as the claim it addresses.
    So you are really evaluating this Ad Absurdum for what...logic?lol seriously? hahaha
    Plus I don't accept omnipotence or any of the omni (and so all modern theologians) because it is a nonsensical concept.
    Can your god(of your culture not yours) create a rock that heavy he can not lift it? Can your god create a burrito that hot he can not eat it? etc etc lol

    The theistic argument is irrational by default....so I need an irrational analogy to expose the absurdity.
    Plus Cosmos as a concept is bigger then our universe and it includes god so you meshed up again in your critique.
    I am not sure that you are that bad in reasoning. Your anger for me exposing your weaknesses in your reasoning must be clouding your thinking and that is obvous in your arguments.

    Which word in 'all war is criminal' did you fail to understand 'Mr English is not my first language?'universeness
    The problem is not with my understanding your statement is just wrong.
    Ciminal is a legal term. You don't get to hang it on any irrational human behavior.
    Wars are irrational from the aspect of the well being of human societies, but as I said, Wars are fueled and enabled by our Philosophies and conflicting interests and some times huge misunderstanding (like yours in a general level)
    Even when a war ise declared unlawful there are rules to be followed .....that you obviously ignore.
    The evaluation of "war crimes" is done by those rules.
    Bombing innocent civilians is a war crime and your soldier's lives is not an excuse for it.
    Making up poetic excuses by stretching the word criminal doesn't help your case.

    I am morally superior to any god who promotes slavery, genocides, gender and social inequality, eternal punishment for finite crimes, who accuses his creations for his screwups for not foreseeing how scarce and competitive environments enable bad behavior, human sacrifice, bigotry.
    I am not just far more moral than you made up god, I am also far more educated to know human biology and behavior.
    So when the time comes he will be in a big trouble. He will have to give answers for his stupidity, his immorality and his ignorance to me.....

    Preferably do it by crucifixion so that I can watch crows pecking you during 3-5 day period, which is approx. time that crucified persons spent on the cross, if you didn't know that.

    its not rational or ethical to choose the lives of people who not participate in a war over those who do, independent if you find the act of war to be "criminal".
    Again just because life in a society is unfair that doesn't justify a criminal for being unfair to his victims.
    You see, I accept your claim (criminal wars) for the shake of the argument and still it doesn't hold up!

    :rofl: Mr Minutia bleats again! The fact that you don't have enough command of English to be able to connect the concept of 'credence' with 'personal conviction,' because you think that credence is only applicable toward objective truth, is an example of how shallow your thinking is.

    My use of percentage to express my personal conviction towards a particular posit or to use it as a personal statement towards how credible a particular posit is TO ME, is perfectly valid amongst the vast majority of all other human beings I have ever talked to in my life.

    The concept of soldiers and civilians is the reality of what is changing. Soldiers don't stay away from civilians during war. You need to go back to something like the Napoleonic wars to find big armies fighting in a field somewhere with few or no civilians in danger.
    Many civilians will die in modern warfare. No legislation will ever prevent that. Only the victors will be able to enforce justice on those who committed or commanded attrocities AFTER THE WAR IS OVER.
    It gives hope to all when the victors also prosecute those who committed atrocities from their own side but that tends to be only based on the most extreme examples reported and can be pure tokenism but should still be pursued. The standards do apply to everyone.
    Churchill allowed the bombing of Coventry without evacuating the civilians because he did not want the Nazis to find out that the British has broken the enigma code. Many call that a war crime. Others say his decision saved many more lives than it cost. What would you have done Sherlock?
