Quantum entanglement as I understand it has been experimentally proven - and Quantum Mechanics - works for lack of a better word. Where I think physic...
Yes, my belief in the Christian God of the Bible is based on faith This is all fair and I have no issue with that. My only caveat would be if one is n...
Understand, happy to play the theist foil if you wish. A few caveats. I have no reason based argument for “god” of the Christian bible. And I have not...
Not sure how we could separate them for the purpose of our discussion. Don't see much difference between what you believe to exist, does or does not e...
I am not sure what is left to be said on the subject. I am aware of only 3 basic arguments against theism. 1. No seeum arguments - basically we have l...
I think nothing bad about you at all. I have absolutely no idea at all what winning an argument on here means, it is certainly no objective of mine. M...
I still think I get to decide who, and for how long I engage with. Please feel free not to engage me if that is unacceptable to you. Again it is not a...
don't see this going anywhere productive. Not being dismissive, and mean no slight whatsoever- but just see the start of a do loop that will not benef...
John 18:38 - Seems to me not to be a point, a singularly- but an almost limitless idea requiring a personal definition. Quite akin to faith actually. ...
Hitchen's only real issue with the Bible, is those of us who believe it is revelation. And every issue he uses to attack the Bible, could also be said...
Depends how one defines true. How I would define it is a belief that underscores what one does. One acts in accordance with what one believes to be tr...
Just an aside - I am pretty catholic and I don't think that is actuate. Faith plays an immense roll in Catholicism, what the church does say, is there...
in any discussion on knowing, the first issue is some understanding of what the other party's understanding is, and what their basis is for saying wha...
By some definition, communism, Presbyterian, Muslim, Tao, catholic, satanism, etc, etc, etc. are all religions. I am not sure there is a human being o...
Is to philosophical discussions of theism, what Donald trump is to productive discussions on governance. Both are entertainers and salesmen. That is a...
agree Agree - with the caveat - One has no need to be a proper theologian to have made a considered decision to be theistic. agree - but not relevant ...
I have no issue at all with all you posted. and agree for the most part. However my main concern in both your posts is this. They leave me feeling as ...
no worries - I read your point, in light of the topic and discussion as a dismissal of theist arguments as fallacious due to them being " hasty genera...
Would you see this as a progression of thought ? Similar to the progression of science? Would your logic be the same for Copernicus as it is for Aquin...
Even as a rather serious Catholic, it is important to remember that religion is a human undertaking with all the frailties that that entails. Religion...
would you consider the fine tuning argument for God to fit into this category ?? would you consider the cosmological argument for an necessary being t...
and once again - never mind. Now you can make your post declaring some type of victory over me, and await the next fish - you can snare into one of th...
because - if as you stated before: what are you adding to the discussion beyond: which is exactly my point of: what value does that add ? You are just...
I think that is absolutely fine, except someone with that position should refrain from the discussion between atheist and theist. If the only thing on...
Camus' absurdity is man's desire to find meaning, where there is none. Why would man seem to have this need, and there being none. This presents a dil...
We were in discussion on the thoughtfulness behind people's decision for or against theism. I do not think one can be an honest or authentic atheist i...
tactic is no substitute for an honest exchange of ideas in search of truth. Camus question was not loaded, it was fundamental, and he had an answer th...
interested then - answer philosophically not literally please to Camus question - start of myth of sisyphus "HERE is but one truly serious philosophic...
could resist: “But surely the reason we do not execute witches is that we do not believe there are such things. If we did — if we really thought that ...
You forgot they came to that belief after a thoughtful and informed deliberation. Your comment is dismissive and ignorant. The equivalent of me saying...
Interesting - I have sort of made that point on a few free will threads but have never gotten any feed back. Generations A's - decisions are influence...
Understand - just disagree with the concept of negative/weak/implicit/soft and how it is defined - I believe it is more about tactic than identifying ...
The argument is based on assigning the human understanding of the world omnipotence to the nature of God, and anything we say about the nature of God ...
firstly I do not mean anything negative about ignorance, I just mean unaware by it. By my argument 17th century physicists were ignorant of quantum me...
The argument is rational, it is just based on premises that are unsupported. There is no rational support for us to believe we can say anything with a...
I would amend to this decision tree 1. Are you aware and do you understand the concept of theism ? 1a - no = unaware, ignorant of issue, uninterested,...
