god must be atheist

Read my lips: scientists don't think they have proven anything. Get that into your head, and everything will fall into place.

I accept that consciousness is created. But who says it is created by god? It could be created by a salamander. Or a black hole in the vast expanse of...

This is a thought-experiment that presupposes an actual empirical event. If the empirical event does not happen, the theory does not hold. Therefore t...

You seem to forget that Munchausenism decries the possibility of proof, and that science never claims a positive proof. Nothing is proven that science...

I'm illustrious enough so I will answer you. Some Swedes are not Protestants. All parishioners are Protestants. Therefore some Swedes are not Parishio...

I also get ignored. I say, "there is no discernible evidence of any of god's qualities or attributes. We know nothing about god. All we know is that i...

His ideas seem interesting enough to hear about them. I also like the little young girl (of age of majority) in the picture. Can we somehow involve he...

This is not what you wrote?

The opening post was way above my pay-grade. I can't understand a single notion described in it, even if I read it.

Total freedom is absolute chaos. Freedom is the state of being unrestricted. You can be more restricted than others, or less restricted. But everyone ...

Philosophy is a subject matter for debate. Your "bad" may be the "good". You can't trust your own judgment and declare categorically that what you dee...

You are misinformed. The designation "professional" means they earn money with it. It is their profession, or occupation, and they earn money with it....

Everyone has an opinion on god, but that's where the buck stops. Nobody has any evidence or supporting arguments to back up their claimed opinions. Wo...

Very good argument! Totally irrefutable, and iron-hard! Because you gave an opinion of your own state of mind. You gave no reason why we should or wou...

This, actually, can be due to the fact also, that theists are a somewhat incapable bunch. They can't create a supernatural image that fits in the natu...

Things either exist, or they don't. There is no in-between, or existence-outside-of-existence. This is the precise sort of incredibly stupid doctrine ...

Much of that is true in my case, if I really want to be honest about it. But my atheism comes mainly by finding the doctrines of the Roman Catholic ch...

What is harmony in visual arts? It can't be defined without using it in the definition. Two colours are in harmony when they don't clash ... harmony i...

Xtrix, think of it as the natural evolution of philosophy. The more viable thoughts survive, the limited, easy-to-defeat arguments die off.

I agree. Except I highly resent the fact that spiritual thinking has hijacked the word "rationalism". In my opinion empiricism is a better ground to e...

That may very well be because RD was right.

I don't think the knowledge of a theoretical principle gives us the ability to reason. The kid on the island can figure out that (for instance) he can...

Wrong. You believe anything you like. But if you advocate some beliefs, religion may frown at it. Nobody can tell you what to believe, and you are a p...

Carry on, Harry Hindu. You seem to have a very viable and fruitful conversation with yourself, totally ignoring others' input. Must be an interesting ...

True. One of the ways it was improved, was the correction of the size of the space that included the matter. You said it yourself here that LM's work ...

But it has been debunked. That does not seem to phase you at all. Your being impervious to facts is a GREAT armor in the field of philosophical discus...

No. I go by the standard that the scientific community accepted. If you go to the origin, then we should believe Kepler's heliocentric world view, but...

Scientific materialists will NEVER claim what you claim they claim. Science can't prove anything. Religion is based on belief, so anything goes. They ...

No, Wayfarer, for the third time. It was the size of a thimble, not of an atom. Read my lips: thimble.

Harry HIndu, you completely misread my post. it is I who does the believing, and the topic of the belief is not another belief, but a repulsion. You g...

On what I see.

The bing bang theory (a kinder name) does not presuppose or state or claim that the world came from nothing. It says that all the matter existed in a ...

You're right. It is impossible for anything inside an infinitely small point to expand into a vast world. But the theory does NOT state what you ascri...

Not morally, but legally, amnesia can absolve even the worst criminality. Amnesia that presents not in the criminal, but in the jury that decides the ...

Whether you want to control a few, one, or a global population, you are still trying to control. Control, or attempt at control, is done by control fr...

According to the law of my country, good deeds do not cancel out criminal deeds. Some decisions take into consideration that the defendant may do good...

... and so help you god.

It's nice to name a possibly existing, possibly non-existing entity to be the ruler... no risk, he does not make any rules, so YOU make the rules and ...

Many already have, and god has already lost the debate many times over.

I am sorry; is English not your native tongue? Another sentence that is awkward to the point of being understood, but not quite correctly written. I a...

Make this a sentence that is syntactically sensible. This is nonsense. I am not saying you are speaking nonsense, I am saying the quote is grammatical...

Given that intellectuals are intelligent, and nobody but the intellectuals suppor totalitarianism, you are saying that it's the dumbfucks only who opp...

I am not in favour of anything. But I call the shots as they are. In the manner of the proverbial umpire, who says "I calls them as I sees them". I ma...

Morality is not corrupted by intellectualism; morality (such as it is) is mostly or else always corrupted by greed, lust, hedonistic desires and a hun...

Not to mention ancient Rome, Athens, The RC Inquisition and Autodafe, the Spanish and Portuguese and English and French near annihilation of the Nativ...

Show me a human who is not a human. Be the person free or not free, from this or that or the other thing, or to do this or that or the other thing. Ju...

I'll volunteer for the job, if nobody else is in line for it.

Freedom is just a fancy word for nothing left to lose.

I cited a specific issue: turning the sexual chromosomes into their opposite in all body cells. That has not, to my knowledge, been done yet. Maybe yo...

There is nothing new in that. Nero identified himself as the benevolent, loving emperor. Hitler identified himself as the savior of the Arian races. M...
