The mechanisms of capitalism regardless of a narrow idealistic viewpoint is more likely to lead to the horror I suggest. Te question is who owns the w...

Why not address your subjective assumptions?
March 18, 2018 at 15:22
The Big Bang is not an example of creation.
March 18, 2018 at 15:22
On what grounds? And what do you mean 'objective' in this context?
March 18, 2018 at 15:20
No way. Ideal capitalism is one massive fat person owning everything in the world; the end game of competition, with the rest of the world dancing han...
March 18, 2018 at 15:19
That just about sums you up perfectly. Your absurdity is the claim that your narrowly focused and narrow minded moral code is universal in some way. T...

This perforce is false since the "world" is not created, nor can it be said to have 'powers', and that would involve some sort of volition.
March 18, 2018 at 14:55
Please refer to the post I made above.
March 18, 2018 at 14:52
No they are not. They are the result of my experience with these issues, and are therefore subjective. It's like you don't know what objective means.
March 18, 2018 at 14:52
LOL Define definitional!!
March 18, 2018 at 14:00
If you are going to use this absurd line of reasoning how can you claim that moral law is objective? When it is demonstrable that morals are different...

No it is not. Marx and his followers have always enjoined the class struggle.

Spoken like a true Trumper. It's so sad, really sad. In fact that is the mosted sadness of all.
March 18, 2018 at 12:46
This is the complete converse of reality.

Please do not use god in this way again to me.
March 18, 2018 at 12:44
Off topic and overly pedantic. I see no value in pursuing this line of enquiry.
March 18, 2018 at 12:42
If god is all powerful then what use is there asking this? He's going to do it his way whatever you say.

it's late! G'Night

You fail to understand the regard of that the author of Job, had of god. You are just shoe-horning your own view of god where is does not fit. The aut...

No I'm not suggesting. The Book of Job insists upon it.

It's not a counter argument of any strength, since millions have taken the Bible as their example for thousands of years.

Well you got that right at least.

No - that's the Bible doing that. Read it again! More evidence that atheists know their Bible with more detail than the believer.
