Please look up the word "fact" in your dictionary, and ... don't ask me for penance
You have taken my words out of context in order to twist the clear meaning. It is a tactic of a supremely dishonest person.
I have obviously put you in a logical corner you are unable to squirm out of. I posed the simplest question I could manage from your tangential response to my even simpler request that you give me an example of a fact. You obviously have no idea what distinguishes fact from fiction - which means you assume facts uncritically - without thought or examination. It is your OPINION they are facts, and they may well be, but you have never taken the time to truly determine if they are or not.
You have very little acquaintance with logic, and you are unable to sustain a coherent line of thought or argument. You continue to babble about dictionaries and “fact” - but the argument is not about definitions, it is about methods; and you don’t even understand that. Just curious...is man made global warming a fact? You seem to be the very kind of person who BELIEVES it is.
Regarding your attempt to be cute with the word “penance”...would you explain exactly how I would go about “...ask(ing) (you) for penance”?
One doesn’t ask for penance - because one cannot give penance to another. Here is the definition of penance:
“voluntary self-punishment inflicted as an outward expression of repentance for having done wrong”
One DOES penance, they cannot ask for it.
