I feel like the answer to this is already made apparent by the fact that any one person has their own set of beliefs, and likely still will unless the...
This could very easily be the case, but to argue that is to say that those who wrote the religious texts had themselves only had ideas or witnessed th...
Because unlike Gods, the existence of the sun or mount Olympus can be established by their physical presence since they can be seen. There is no dispu...
This is actually indeed part of the point that I was trying to make. As you say "everyone is/(was) born an atheist," and that includes those who were ...
For those of you who don't want to read the entire post and just want a summary, it basically comes down to you would have no way to know about any Go...
In that case, let's assume for instance that the object that we know of today as the Rosetta Stone was not defined as such until the 7th century, even...
To add to what I have said, consider that Islam was founded as recently as the 7th century, and Christianity only 600 years prior. From this it should...
Just think of it like this. Before the Bible or any other religious text was written, or more specifically before its respective religion came about, ...
I might also add that in my experience, most people who are not devoutly religious do not attend a church of a particular denomination for any reason ...
I think there is more to it than this, otherwise so many people would not have the same problem of getting excited by porn but not as much by regular ...
The problem with this is that it is effectively saying that religion is a man-made creation, which I believe is possible since it has taken thousands ...
I don't know if life after death exists, nor does anyone else. It is one thing to believe in something, but this will not change what actually happens...
Let's just take any particular religion and acknowledge that religion has a God or Gods. Before that religion came about, no human thought or believed...
That is different though, because I do exist even if someone has never heard of me, and so do you. Furthermore, everything that has been discovered at...
That is fair, however I am assuming that there was no God to speak of prior to the advent of any organized religion. Therefore my point is that a God ...
^My problem with that statement is that ANYONE can make a "guess, estimate..." and use that as a safeguard to say they do not believe this or that, if...
So then would such a person not believe that George Washington existed because they don't have any "evidence"? I mean look, the fact is that life in g...
The problem I have with this is that trying to prove that someone or something exist is vastly different than trying to prove to people that you are h...
Not all things that are true can be proved. If I had a thought yesterday I cannot prove it. But it is true that I had that thought. — EnPassant True, ...
I may be wrong, but it sounds like you are effectively saying that it is not possible to prove that God(s) exist, so in essence all anyone can do is p...
If it helps, perhaps I can provide an example that might put things into perspective (I hope). Islam is a fairly new religion, and before it became ma...
Exactly, which is why my point is and has always been to just say that you don't know if God(s) exist or not and leave it at that. Giving any reasons ...
I am not talking about beliefs. You and anyone else can believe whatever the hell you want. I can believe that there is an island full of pink unicorn...
Update: I am using a touchscreen laptop and the mouse pad no longer works properly which is inhibiting my ability to quote texts. I know that this is ...
I posted this mainly because someone messaged me asking me if desire unending life, and I felt like they were trying to make a judgement based on my r...
I'm not taking up for that guy, but with regards to living forever, I don't think he was asking for an explanation, I believe the question was simply ...
Yes you're not; but you are saying that you can't prove the non-existence or existence of something. Of course you can that's silly. ^That also depend...
Yes you're not; but you are saying that you can't prove the non-existence or existence of something. Of course you can that's silly. — SethRy Not just...
I am not talking about intuition or reasonable expectation though, I am simply talking about the fact that no one knows whether or not God exists, jus...
"if your justified belief corresponds with reality then it is true and then it is knowledge." ^What is reality though? Is reality that earth revolves ...
"I do not know if gods exist or not; I see no reason to suspect gods CANNOT EXIST...that the existence of gods is impossible; I see no reason to suspe...
Also, you are not correct in claiming to know that there are no Gods if there are indeed Gods in spite of the absence of evidence. It would be like if...
"Knowledge is defined as "justified, true belief." I believe there are no gods. It's justified for me to claim there are no gods. And if there are no ...
I would not say that I don't know if there is a refrigerator in my kitchen, because I do know this. If I go into the kitchen and I see a refrigerator,...
You are confusing being agnostic with being an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. The difference is that someone who is purely agnostic tends to ...
Yes, except that I said the truth is that nobody KNOWS if God does or does not exist, which is entirely different from BELIEVING something or having a...
tim wood- Forgive me for being blunt, but I feel like you are trying to defend anyone who does or believes anything at all, as potentially thinking th...
There are atheists and theists who admit that they do not know if God exists, as well as those who say that God absolutely does or does not exist, no ...
I don't feel like the type of person that you are is affected by whether or not you believe that God exists. For the record I did not attend church fo...
