'hello'

Ok, that's very easy. God should appear on Earth and submit itself to scientific scrutiny. OR, you can call on your 'experience' to stop me from posti...

Sure, but what's your personal opinion of Charlie's claims?

I absolutely do think that no deity or higher supernatural power exists. I just cant PROVE I am correct. Would I believe god exists because I prayed t...

Give me your opinion on this one. I watch an atheist youtube call-in show ran by Jimmy Snow called 'the line.' They used to get a regular caller who u...

Do you feel anything? when people like me, think you are deluding yourself, and your experiences are not of the supernatural in any way, shape or form...

For a short time, through frustration, I was tempted to start suggesting, that no theist should be allowed to hold political office. I soon realised t...

Why can't theist's and their enablers/facilitators, understand the strength of your accurate summary above. Why should atheists accept that they MUST ...

Good to read an example of the fact that your original scepticism is still present, and your ability to apply critical thinking to 'holy' scripture, r...

Yep, especially if @"invicta" has had personal conformation of a supernatural existent. Why the angst indeed? I don't understand why your supernatural...

Religion remains one of the most convenient 'fit for purpose,' pre-packaged ways to tribalise a group, against everyone outside of that group. The ter...

Why would these 'men' be green? Anyway, enjoy! Again, thanks for the exchange.

Yeah, I think I have read your disdain of Sam Harris before. We can't all value the exact same people, in the exact same way, so , fair enough! I pers...

I can't follow your rationale. Any awe and wonder you experience when viewing the flora and fauna of nature or the structures you can view in space vi...

I have heard many individuals describe such experiences, in great detail. This kind of witnessing has almost zero value as evidence of god. Why was yo...

I would be much more interested in your views now than in Gödel's, Ramanujan's (watched the movie about his life), Newton's, Pascal's or Liebniz' thei...

Thanks for the exchange invicta, I enjoyed reading about your worldviews.

I find more wonder and awe in the natural world, than anything posited regarding the supernatural, so I have no need for the supernatural. This is of ...

So does this divine hiddenness of god not annoy you? If it has some of the answers you seek then why does it remain so hidden from you, even though yo...

I think we all feel the same way, atheist or theist. I agree but are you unwilling to share your musings and more importantly, those aspects of the go...

If you declare yourself a theist, do you not also inherit a responsibility to muse theologically, as in, be a theologian, even if it's one without pap...

Sounds to me that you support some of the main tenets of humanism. Do you believe your god is omnipotent? Do you mean you fear the way you will die mo...

Then I am confused about the form of your theism. Are you afraid of the judgement of your god? Why do you fear oblivion after you die? When you have n...

Are you not contented by the offer that if you stop typing your discontentment, regarding your gods plan for you and just comply with its scriptural i...

So, are you annoyed/frustrated/angry/deserved of such divine hiddenness?

What did your god say to you when you asked it about this issue you have?

Yep, and it's not like Jimmy boy is the only example of corrupt, nefarious individuals at the top of religious movements. Religious movements seem to ...

Well, if you think they are the 'thoughts' of chatGBT then you think it is sentient. I don't think the song I posted, included chatGBT 'thoughts,' so ...

Yes. I have watched the Hunger Games movies. I don't see their relevance to our discussion here, they were just a poor throwback to the Roman idea of ...

Religion: :lol: :rofl: https://youtu.be/LxB6-HnXZEU

If we had no problems to solve and no questions to answer then we would be as useless as an omnigod.

What do you envisage happened when Thor found the hidden camera/speaker combo? (why did you choose one with a doorbell?). Who planted the camera/speak...

Humble thyself, lest thy god judge ye harshly, and turn thy small bell end into wood. REMEMBER, all flesh is grass! :halo:

I can't answer from a philosopher stance but I can from a 'being human' stance. There are so many old adage's I am tempted to type, from: "Only those ...

Did you notice, there was also a definite bell end at the top of the small trunk? Soooooooo Hanoverian! :joke:

I think this oak tree with a 3 inch tall trunk, is called the Hanoverian bonsai. https://www.bonsaidirect.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Oak-a-380x5...

The song wrote by chatGBT, about the topic of this thread IS original. ChatGBT IS the author. I see little difference, in the way chatGBT consults the...

Anesthetic, can remove all feeling from your body and you can remain awake. How is this possible if any aspect of consciousness or mind, exists outsid...

In union Alkis, finding common cause is our best hope for a better future for all.

Personal grief, yes, very much so, loss of my father, my best friend, lost love twice, I have experienced personal betrayal and a myriad of other trou...

Well, I enjoyed the exchange Alkis. You are correct about me, in that I fiercely consider empirical science to be the final, implacable arbiter of any...

He is simply saying belief is a binary choice, you either accept x is true or not. Knowledge is justified true BELIEF, so belief to which, you assign ...

Not 'an evidence' but your own 'perception' that MOST convinces you that mind and consciousness are not the same concept (as a substitute, if you don'...

I think you are making too much of 'direct manipulation' here. Any 'fetch/execute' cycle will involve the mar and mdr registers, the address bus, the ...

62% of those who voted in Scotland, voted to stay in the European union. I agree with your suggestion that the 'them' and 'us' attitude has been a per...

I don't envisage future systems as being as 'pedestrian,' as you suggest. I envisage them as gaining more and more functionality and can 'cater for al...

What do you think of the following tweet from Matt Dillahunty. Knowledge is a subset of belief. While it's a separate question - belief (either convin...

I think it was the window they called 'American military spies exit here!' The name was too long and a bit paranoid to be a permanent fixture.

This is the original building that was the headquarters of the Gosplan since 1921. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Stalinist...

Probably.
