god must be atheist

It does not "translate". It "means". If you are omnibenevolent, you are incapable of seeing, creating, or tolerating suffering. This is the meaning of...

You are simply providing here an elegant proof of others' proposition, that god is either not omnipotent, or not omnibenevolent. You are not refuting ...

C'mon. Even a five-year-old child can conjure up a Utopian world in which everything works, and yet it lacks evil and suffering. Why couldn't god? He ...

Nothing? NOTHING? Not anything. Not his will, not his intentions, not his desires, not his motivations. In fact, you are saying he acts randomly, as n...

You may simply disregard my post here, as it says nothing else, that I would consider responding to your post way too tiresome than to have a positive...

To my knowledge (and please correct me if you are sure I am wrong) Aristotle does NOT define his use of the word "Metaphysics". It is the name of a ch...

Yes, you're right. There is agreeable philosophy, and then there are disagreeable definitions. I find yours -- pardon me, this is not personal, at all...

Yes, Ciceronius, it is interesting that rights are a new concept, and as you pointed it out, the existence of rights gives you the right to be selfish...

I don't see a paradox here, as long as paradox means an impossibility to believe both at the same time and in the same respect. I will treat your post...

1. Stating details is equivalent to going out on a limb. They country is divided into more than two general interst groups. If you state something spe...

How can you have faith in the existence of these? Are we talking about the same thing when we say "faith"? To me faith is belief, particularly at time...

As I pointed it out in the next post by me, I think metaphysics as a field of study does not exist. Therefore it defies definition. Metaphysics in the...

I agree. So totally agree with you. And that's why I stated that your definition is not exclusive. You must read Aristotle to see this.

Thanks, jgill. Impressing you I consider a real accomplishment. It's accomplishments like these makes participating on this forum worthwhile for me.

You're right that that the feelings are the results of gravitational force. But the result is an interpretation of why you feel these feelings. If you...

I understand that metaphysics means "after physics" only denoted by Aristotle for the readers that it is a section in his book that comes after the se...

Is talking to spirits in seances meta-physics? Yes. Is gravity meta-physics? If you consider, and only consider the definition that Gnomon has used, t...

How do you do that.

How would that argument sound like? My argument that faith excludes knowledge is based on faith being unreliable, at best with a completely random rat...

Okay, thanks. You could have preempted that argument also by saying that little forbidden pleasure in this life would precipitate an endless, enduring...

You give very, very, very little credit to the human mind, to humanity as a viable vital life existence capable of thought, emotions, will, and imagin...

So...is gravity meta-physics? It is very real to me. And yet it is not something you can see, touch, smell or taste. Is the physics concept of force, ...

I said "witten", because the question specifically asked for a written letter. I am getting angry. You can't even differentiate between "say" and "wri...

Check out the question I answered. I even quoted it for your ease of reference. I am the weird guy who answers questions asked directly and to the poi...

I can't pretty well advocate violence on this site, as it is against site rules. But violent outbursts, verbal or physical, alleviate anger temporaril...

"D". This is one letter he would definitely have written.

Looking at the above conversation, man's need to create a branch of thought which is not science, and which endeavours to learn the purpose of physica...

Gnomon, you remind me of the adage, "if someone ascribes an attribute to a system that is not in that system, the person ascribing is most likely very...

thanks.

M, m. It denotes mass. There is no mass without material or matter. I get your point, I am just answering your question, without any further or ulteri...

I have supported both your points, Mijin. You are preaching to the choir. I cited the examples PRECISELY and EXCLUSIVELY to support your opinions. It'...

Not if you take your own words by what they mean. All-loving excludes ill-willed; all-powerful excludes inability to act. God has no ill will, and has...

As a belief, it works, because you beleive whatever you want. But if you want us to see your point and accept it, then you have to show how all good t...

God created everything. That includes evil, Satan,everything. He is the origo. The bible says that too. So what do you believe, Emma; that god did not...

I don't find it curious, as I have no personal evidence. I've almost died several times in my life, and in one such instances I passed out due to lack...

j, I have the opposite, when I momentarily slumber. I figure 10 minutes have passed, when only 10 seconds have passed. This is at times when I am doin...

He would be in good form. He'd be in perfect shape. He would experience himself as only he could. I think we could know SOMEthing about god if only he...

To clarify my need of answers: I need to see either a logically sound argument why after the life state is the same as a state in GA (if that is an ac...

Hm. I got one part down... how conciousness continues in a straight line manner after perception stops. This makes sense. To extrapolate this phenomen...

You're absolutely right. Einstein's theory of specific relativity was pure philosophy at first, which got to be scientific knowledge after its predict...

I think philosophy is that branch of thinking, which connects reality to knowledge, but supported by less evidence than scientific knowledge. In this ...

The reason I chose my moniker was this following mental exercise I have made up: God must be an atheist because to be a theist, one must have faith in...

Thanks for asking. No, it does not imply that.

I promise to send in an article if it does not get published in any other currently peer-reviewed journal in two years, concluding with the end of 202...

Quantum mechanics at work. "The smaller a volume of space is, the more energy it contains." Both are counter-intuitive, and yet absolutely true.

To call this sensible, one must believe in the bible. Otherwise it's mere superstition, and tales written by dilettantes a long time ago, which can be...

1. Humans are capable of evil doing. (True or false?) 2. An ability to do evil is an attribute. (Joaquin, you deny this.) 3. An ability to do evil is ...

Because some truths have not been found. So it does not depend on the end result of finding the truht, it depends mostly on continuing the quest of tr...

A priori knowledge is not based on believing your senses. So there is some knowledge that is not based on faith. "Many know, manier don't, that to bel...

"There is nothing that never changes" can't be true if this is truth. So you end up with a neat, beautiful paradox, not with a proof that something et...
