2) I don't understand Russell's hesitation to deny those gods' existence. A "logical proposition" to disprove those gods' existence isn't even needed or proper because the people who introduced those gods to the world never gave a "logical proposition" to affirm their existence. They are mere elements of Greek folklore. They are as dead as the ancient Greeks themselves. |
1) I think this is a logical conclusion and not that uncommon in general terms.
2) Russell knows he cannot disprove homeric, Christian, or any other god. His belief is likely atheistic, but his knowledge agnostic ... if you see what I mean.
OK .... got go guys ... see you next week.
and welcome again Kenneth.
