Uncle_DaveO	We cannot have an opinion (257* d)	RE: We cannot have an opinion	05 Jul 15
DtG said: One thing you did say that does have a bearing though is that an opinion should not be considered seriously unles it is based on actual knowledge. Does that include the opinion that there is a divine being? If so, what 'actual knowledge' does anyone have on that? None, as far as I can tell. Therefore that opinion should not be expected to be considered seriously. The only fact there is that (whoever) states that (s)he does hold that opinion. Citing that so-and-so holds a certain opinion (or states it as if it were a fact) is merely indulging in one of the classical fallacies, the appeal to authority. Dave Oesterreich
