I think legal and moral are more like second cousins. Less than a generation ago it was legal in Germany to exterminate a whole race, and less than 3 ...
no just that the belief is faith based. Because there nothing any of us can say about the nature of god that we could support with reason, all such di...
no Harry, skeptical theism just says that there is rational basis for any one to say anything about the nature of such a thing as god. All such discus...
as I stated the board has had quite a few a posteriori God arguments. The concept of skeptical theism say all such claims are outside reason. Seemed a...
you have lost me, which is not that difficult a task. I am 100 pct sure it is due to my ignorance. When I have some time I will reread and try to do a...
That is redundant nonsense. What in independent reality can be seen if you eye can’t see it etc etc I have no interest of a discussion on if there is ...
on the value of the concept As far as i know there are only 3 types of rational arguments against the existence of God. Arguments from evil No seeum a...
do you believe there is any such things as facts? Is the cat really on the chair? Can we trust our senses to tell us anything of meaning? Are we all m...
To help some - If one can by faith alone, and not in conflict with fact or reason believe in the God of the Christian bible, one can logically believe...
that in no way address the point. Stop and give it some thought, and then make me a formal argument that ends in the conclusion " therefor it is unrea...
I would not agree - until you can make me a argument with propositions that are true, that ends in the conclusion that follows " therefor it is unreas...
Sure - The God of the christian bible is outside reason, there is no reasonable argument to support this definition of God, however it is not in confl...
missed the point - if it is outside reason, it is not a valid faith based truth. People can believe anything - you even chose not to believe the mathe...
Ha - no worries, I am not an evangelist. Just important to know from what basis the argument is coming from. It solves a lot of communication problems...
I don't think it is intended to, and logic has nothing at all to do with it. At least in Catholicism - it is referred to as the mystery of the Trinity...
agree - i said between any 2 points there are an infinite number of points - we are arguing facts now a point is a specific place in space, it has no ...
been a long time for me - but I have a memory of the formula for a line is y = mx+b where (x,y) is a point, and m is the change in any two points on t...
The concept of a singularity is no more proven than the concept of "God" or let's say a necessary being. Both are possible answers to what is before t...
If, by faith, one believes that there is such a thing as the 3 O God, It is perfectly logical to believe that this Being could, if It so chooses to, t...
Walter are you interested in a theological discussion on the faith based belief in the trinity, or are you looking for a rational argument in defense ...
Is singularity any more a proven scientific theory than God ?? Prior to the big bang, the common argument against the CA was " who created the creator...
I think it goes something like this. When there is conflict between what we desire and some moral belief we feel, we can often find a creative way to ...
thanks and appreciate. I think this is a difficult concept to discuss, without a consensus understanding of what definition of morality we are talking...
Here is what I find most interesting about these types of arguments. The cosmological argument's conclusion of a necessary being is currently the argu...
Does this change with the nature of the act in question. Is telling the killer the lie, or opening the door and shooting him in the knee equally moral...
I feel it is an important point to make, anytime anyone makes a claim about the nature of god. That they have no reason based support to make such a c...
the only reason based claim I have ever made is the cosmological argument for a necessary being I have not made any faith based arguments on here, bec...
The Christian is free to believe in the trinity as long as it is acknowledged that this is a belief based on faith, not fact or reason. You have every...
I hold my point is both valid and important. Both theists and atheists make all kinds of propositions about the nature of god in their arguments. Yet ...
