I would rather think that teaching humans to accept themselves as they are is a better option than to lure them into believing "if you only get this o...

I am at awe in this thread!!! And I must admit that when reading the posts of proof and also the rest given here - I do not know even what to add. I f...

you are straight on it. All the operations for other noses, for other bodies, for plastic breasts and whatnot - "enhancing" oneself to become a copy o...

so I understand (correct me if I am wrong here) that Darwin lost his own image of who his own god was? Or are you saying that Darwin actually knew God...

why ask me - I live in a land of prosperity and with a free healthcare system :rofl:

- yes but the difference is that many of these muslims (listen to them) had dreams about Jesus... before they converted or started looking...and as fa...

So I do understand that atheism seems to be logical - when and if you only (as did the logical positives think and they failed to prove their point .....

so a believer that is poor and sick still has purpose?

I forgot the muslim + Jesus --- look here are loads of these: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=muslim+convert+to+christian

oh, so God is then when you loose you health and wealth - the crutch? :wink:

as I said - from the Greeks and in all philosophy God is a mayor question and has been and will be - because we simply do not know! No one does. Liste...

hear hear... second that...

wow... what a post! That opening post just blew me away!!! I must reflect on it - because my spontaneous and direct answer would then probably not do ...

why would humans end up in the gutter just because their lives are meaningless and they fill them with what they know and want?

What do you mean - define - spirituality... what is that!

maybe rather the latter... because we simply DO NOT KNOW... now do we. When reading philosophy God is a huge issue... the million dollar question - an...

what an interesting post you just wrote! But - if everything is (because we can imagine it to so) without goal and without any sort of meaning, and al...

But I am interested. I have always - this is the correct way of handling philosophy according to all the great masters - both Greek and European: have...

Yes you are right, the notion is real - but then the God believer says they also thus know the sources - the cause - of their notion. And during all t...

"no-one is able to answer the "who is God" question - neither the atheists who then refute what they do not know - more or less. :rofl:

And forgive my poor English ... but you will have to suffer it as it will not be any better...than this.

No - my first question in this thread was due to the debate where everyone seems to assume someone - whom they are not able to define ... so my answer...
