god must be atheist

Dark rooms are threatening. They promise surprise. We don't know if there is a mountain bear in the cave, we don't see the scorpions and the snakes. D...

Rather unfortunately the motto does not apply to eating. Even in the life of the most devoutly practicing procrastinator.

My evolution is different from your evolution, then. At least in theory. The only things that tell us that there could be no life on other parts of th...

I am only familiar with the ye olde classe distinction that pevailed in Europe before wwii. Americans have class distinictions, but it's financial and...

I think they have six. Six fingers on each hand. I could be wrong.

You should ask the OP. I am just saying what frame of reference to look at it from. I did not say it, I won't defend it, please ask the OP. I am washi...

I think you just withdrew because you can't face the fact that you were defending something nonsensical. You were all eager to explain to me what "unc...

Thank you for wasting my time.

You said you'd give me a shorter, simpler explanation. Then almost immediately you went into "You said, he said, InPotzl said, I say, T, A..." this is...

Secular-wise, yes. Christianwise, god's supreme. Its earthly governors are kings, who are to preside over a territory. The moral of the story in Chris...

Nirvana is the opposite of Farvana.

Paying the workers weakly, not weekly.

Weak workers. You can't work the weak to work hard.

I think, OP, that it's a mirage of the inborn need of notion of fair share, with the subjective feeling of being gifted. If you are gifted, you feel y...

Your final QED remains undone. Your unerring website, as correct as it is at explaining most instances of the UN prefix with verbs, has, I am afraid, ...

I saw once a movie on the recommendation of a female librarian. It was titled "Shoot 'Em Up". I laughed through the whole movie. It appeared that ther...

In the sense of the OP. It started with "in the beginning there was the word."

Right.

I think no matter whether thoughts are linear, crooked or circular, the actions of a person are always in response to the environment. When someone co...

This gave me a scare. I put a remark in a thread. Okay, nothing special. Then five minutes later I put another remark in the same thread. The computer...

I saw a nice self-referencing puzzle the other day. Question: If you pick an answer at random, what are the chances that the percentage written in the...

If the claim was written by the Marketing department, then don't believe a single word of it. That is normally the position I take. Basically, markete...

You're right, "uncausing" was not used by InPitzotl. I stand corrected. But in his explanation to me what he meant by "uncaused" he did not explain it...

The fox being a foxy lady? I wish.

Pancake Tuesdays would invariably fall on Pancaca Fridays. When the lot of pancakes eaten on Tuesday would get freshly squeezed again.

So do I. You can't deny you wrote this: So explain what you mean by that, with special emphasis on the "be uncaused". I did not want to continue this ...

The original question, as I understood it, what being created things before there were beings. Your answer, Samuel Lacrampe, includes a being that we ...

Good luck to you. I usually tie the waiting period for an answer to a superstitiously decided outside event that has no causal relationship to getting...

By saying that you did no such thing, you meant that you did not know what you were saying? You are negating your own action, but since I used two of ...

It's a matter of choice whether you have a choice in the matter. If you have no choice in choosing the matter of your choice, then try picking up a di...

I was just repeating what I gleaned from your earlier posts in conversation with others. I have no clue what an uncausing is in relation to causality....

This still does not negate that "caused and uncaused exhausts all possibilities". Please consider this: 1. An event is caused. 2. It is partially caus...

Obviously, you have to rely on a different part of your body to make up questions. I usually just go where my nose points. ** ** Evolution very smartl...

You're absolutely right. An infinite number of something not infinitely diminishing in size, is going to NOT fit in a finite-sized container. But even...

Thanks!!! It takes one to know one.

That's right. So destroying the infinite number of people will restore the meaning of protecting the environment. There will be something to protect. ...

What gives life value is the cost of living.

If god asked me if I wanted to never have been born, i.e. never have been existed, or else live a life, I would reply: What do you recommend? He is th...

I think the occupation of Hungary happened on a Tuesday, not on a Wednesday. Some authorities say that the Avars whom the Hungarians subjugated in the...

Not if you and I are on the ship. Plus, an infinite number of people are detrimental to the environment. Even if they don't get killed, they will die ...

Yes, definitely. They absolutely and without any doubt must be related. You must consider the following when examining the facts: I have not listened ...

Take a medium sized chicken. Tease it and jostle it, until it boils with anger. Take the flaming down, and let the emotions simmer, until it has stewe...

6. Behaving provo-actively. 7.621 Undefoscilating para-Jewish activities. 8. Brandishing a tub of Trepodense(TM) brilight applicator that you proudly ...

Now, that's a big Nuance. A Nuance of Biblical Proportions.

:wink: :smile:

Thank you for your in-depth criticism. "..supposedly makes the actor feel good and happy.", "one that most people approve of", "is a heroic act" etc. ...

Totally agree. The moral conduct of a person is rewarded and punished from within the person's own self. If the reward or punishment comes from the ou...

Dear Philosophim, thanks, thanks, thanks, for doing a more in-depth analysis of my paper. I took note of your needing more rigid definitions for my ne...

I so totally agree. Keep the voting simple. Complexity turns people away. I haven't done my taxes for the very same reason for decades. -- Seriously s...

This would only stand up if you proved that such an X actually exists. This is a condition you set up which is not shown or proven to be true.
