This still goes against your claim that external stimuli causes brain activity, though. If that were true, in absence of external stimuli our brains w...

I think you're both missing the point, though. If we could make sense of God (the type of God we're discussing), then it would not be God. A necessary...

That is demonstrably not true, though. It has been well-established that when in complete sensory-deprivation our brains are still very active. We hal...

Read Spinoza's Ethics, if you haven't. His explanation of God as Nature had a huge impact on me. It was. I was just trying to get you to understand th...

Nature. I thought of one more way to try to get this concept across: Remember those spheres I was referring to earlier? I said one was a perfect spher...

That is the perfect song for this occasion (though I find Elvis to be perfect for any occasion)

Are you serious? Okay, I give up. I tried.

Perfect for what????

Again, as I said (and you agreed) "flaws" or "defects" are also subjective. What is all of this in reference to? Perfection and flaws only make sense ...

Perfect in regards to what? As I said (and you agreed), "perfect" is subjective. So when you say something is perfect, you need to make explicit what ...

So does it make sense to apply our subjective concepts to God?

"Perfect" and "flaw" are both subjective concepts.

That's exactly what I was trying to say; maybe I should have elaborated more. This follows from what I said, that logic is a product of our observatio...

Well, in a sense I agree and in a sense I don't. It really has to do with language. The language we are using describes concepts in this universe; we ...

Banno answered this pretty well, I think, but I'll refer you to another post I made which covers this also: To elaborate for your specific question, i...

This is the root argument everyone who says "God cannot defy logic" is making here. You're saying that God is limited by what you can imagine. Why on ...

So things you can't imagine can't be possible for God? God is bound by your imagination?

Okay, you don't seem to be understanding what I'm saying, or what you're saying yourself. Let me ask: what do you mean by "incoherent"? Define the ter...

You're begging the question. You're saying that a God that defies logic isn't possible because it would defy logic.

Interesting perspective. Very similar to the morality issue.

I'd like to see an argument for that as a reasonable possibility. If God created the universe and all of the laws by which it operates, what reason wo...

The responses here honestly surprise me. If God cannot defy logic, then God is not omnipotent. Plain and simple. A God who can defy logic would be mor...

As a fairly new member of this forum community, I'd like to briefly interject to make an observation: You guys are weird. Carry on.

My full explanation: When you ask about the things God can do, you have to first make it clear what characteristics your God has. If God is omnipotent...

I could be wrong, but it really seems to me as though Pseudonym has been trying his hardest not to share his actual beliefs, because the few times he ...

I appreciate your treating my statements reasonably, without reading your own prejudices into them as others have done. But based on previous interact...

You've asked me the same questions multiple times after I already answered. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence at all, the fact that you do se...

You are free to--science is not absolute and can always be proven wrong--but we have strong evidence that more testosterone does indeed cause more agg...

You are unbelievable.

First off, I don't recall you having to repeat this at all, but I'll "be charitable" as you say and assume I missed it. However... Why anyone would wa...

I never said men are prone to violence against women, only to be more violent in general. Maybe I misunderstood what you were asking. Were you asking ...

I never claimed that. Carry on.

Considering I said the exact same thing earlier... ...I would have to say yes, it is justifiable. Men do not menstruate, and therefore do not experien...

No, I'm not. I explained exactly what I meant by what I said, so you have no reason to continue misinterpreting it. As I said, my reasoning is based o...

What I said was that women have a biological predisposition to more frequent irrationality. The article I shared involved a medical doctor explaining ...

Now that I absolutely agree with, and I'm sure you'll agree that a key aspect of this is that a woman wants to at that moment. I cannot believe the nu...

I understand now, and completely agree with your point. I do still think this is being clumsily handled by the MeToo movement, and a big part of that ...

Wow, and I thought Michael was reading too much into it. Do you not realize how huge of a leap it is to assert those things based on what I actually s...

Keep telling yourself that. I never said I think less of them, you're reading into my words things that aren't there. I said that girls who respond fa...

I would definitely agree with that. Absolutely cringe-worthy. If it has worked for you, more power to you, but this is like one of those horrible pick...

You make a very good point. I'll admit, looking over my previous posts, I've been unfair with the way I've been speaking about these things. I should ...

That doesn't sound any less un-romantic. Maybe the culture is just different where I grew up, but I have it on good authority from multiple women I've...

Despite this joke being at my expense, it still made me laugh. And you're not wrong. No, that's what you have been clearly implying by the things you'...

I'd also like to point out that you are displaying another negative characteristic that is generally more prominent in men. I'll call it "macho-ness",...

More attack on my character. Not surprising, at this point. So you're saying you tell women "I am attracted to you" and then ask women if you can touc...

Alright, you clearly aren't understanding the things I'm saying. Is English your first language, or no? I feel like there's a language barrier, but I ...

I'll also share some evidence for my claim that women are, in general, more irrational than men due to certain biological processes and hormones. Here...

I'll say it one more time: If God is omnipotent, then he is not constrained by logic. We are not omnipotent. Asking if something is "possible" needs q...

I'm sorry but you just aren't making any sense to me.

What does 1+God mean? I didn't say anything about us "striving on illogic". I said an omnipotent being is not bound by logic. That's just true by defi...
