A matheist.

[–]staygold45 6 points7 points ago

Okay, it's true. I upvoted this just because it was Calvin and Hobbes.

Now, to use this excuse in class...

[–]kr0kodile 1 point2 points ago

He has a valid point. Math is based on assumptions such as 1 plus 1 equals 2. However the difference between math and religion is that we can verify in our everyday lives that if you add up any item with any other item you will get 2 items.

Which side are you arguing? Either he has a valid point or the rest you say is false.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you get tables in comments?

[–]thimblyjoe 0 points1 point ago

Math doesn't claim to exist in the real world. It's a set of rules built on its own framework. It makes no claim to reality and often claims quite the opposite. It just happens to be a good framework for modeling things that are real.

I gotta go find my old C&H comic books and look through. There's so much I didn't understand as a kid.

[–]shitkicker88 -4 points-3 points ago

I don't believe in G-d nor do I believe in M-th, I can only believe in what i see in front of me, I don't believe in air or in sound waves, all I know is that I can hear, breathe, and smell. while some might call me ignorant or uneducated, all I can say is "If i'm still alive I must be doing something right"

[–]shitkicker88 2 points3 points ago

P.S. I fucking love calvin and hobbes
