god must be atheist

The classic case of "I don't know anything about xxxx, but I sure know one when I see one."

Actually, I kept saying that there may exist a moral truth, but we haven't found it yet.

This involves neither decision, nor a goal of good. This is what you said no? In your entire paragraph or post that contained this, you mentioned noth...

What emotion do I have right now? You claim you feel it. What emotion does a person feel who is not you? You can extrapolate, but I vehemently deny yo...

I ought to have cleaned the chicken coop before the inspectors came. Have I committed a moral act? I ought to. Is this different from other ought to-s...

You don't feel their feelings. You interpret their actions that they have feelings. You interpret your experience of others that the others exist.

Your experience is the only evidence to YOU that others exist. What does this tell you? - that others exist, since you experience them? Yes. - that yo...

Prove this. Please.

material world makes just as much sense as solipsim, and so does a mix of matter and spirit world. We are not in a position to get proof about which i...

What about solipsism. Completely possible, and there are even variations on that theme. No matter involved in it whatsoever.

MSC, I washed my hands in this thread, and I don't want to engage any more, but I must answer your plea for the reason of sheer personal respect. I ha...

With all due respect, Tzeentch, my question was not that; and answering a changed question amounts to answering it. But I appreciate that you want to ...

I chose "Other" because my point of view is it does not matter, which way you look at it. WHAT you look at is explicable all three ways. So there is n...

Just so in case you were wondering where "trail" came from. Not a problem, I like word games. Factually, Socrates vehemently defended himself at his l...

Absolutely not. You are answering a question I did not ask. Which is fine. I don't mind if you exercise your right to free speech. Just saying that yo...

Some people are so entangled in their worship of religion (not only of their god, but of the general idea of religion) that they can't divorce themsel...

I barged in and asked a dead serious question. So far nobody I know has come up with a notion that discerns morality from non-morality. Yet we discuss...

Obviously it is not I who haven't read your 2+ pages of posts, but it is you who were too lazy or inept to read my only one post.

who is doing the considering? The same people that act the way they consider appropriate behaviour? Or in fact there are people who act against their ...

Socrates may have used the phrase as a metaphor. In today's vernacular, the inner voice in moral questions is your better judgment. Maybe our vernacul...

Hey, guys and gals, what do yout thing constitutes an act which is moral? I am asking because there has been examples of what we call good and what we...

I know. I was merely playing.

My genius friend Paul S. came up to me one day, and asked me, "Is the sum of a woman better than her whole?"

"One" as in the god-thread? Or one as in one person at a time? Single line, no pushing. While in the line.

Yeah, phones are tiny for reading or listening. I hope they will come up with a giant 55 inch phone that fits in my pocket.

Well, philosophers have to worry about getting INTO work as soon as possible. Not many positions as resident philosopher at Walmart or General Ford.

I think that's how object-oriented programming took initial shape. A bunch of sexually frustrated programmers who objectify sexual objects into object...

If we need to define language, we need to use language. Nothing can define its own self. Conceptually everything can establish separation, but the sep...

I think we all feel that way to a certain extent in a certain way. Because we get into arguments, and there is always an opposing opinion. That gives ...

Interesting. You feel other people's orgasms, @"praxis"? You've got quite a talent there.

New deduction on your Income Tax return? You get some more money back if you successfully discover the meaning of life. (N.B. please look up the meani...

I had participated on a forum a long time ago, where this was the case. People could participate in that forum only by special permission, and that fo...

Sorry, I had to correct and improve your quote. You see, there are a number of us who share a globe with you, who don't believe in any gods, but still...

Every Christian, absolutely every Christian, is decried for being a cheat or an untrue faithful by someone other who also calls himself or herself a C...

I'd add: "One person's troll is another person's genius."

A ratio named after you, definitely, and well deserved, too. An equation? You have to come up with one that is as original in concept and significant ...

Not praised, but enjoyed. It's like praising someone else's orgasm. None of my business. But feeling my own is certainly worth it.

This is not so easy to decide. This is a forum fostering arguments. People who agree with a post normally leave it alone, or in a rare case, respond t...

You are mistaken again, my friend. I am not arguing atheism. There is no need for that. I don't need to preach "beleive in no god". You believe in wha...

Maybe it's a battle for you, that's why you refer to debate as "battle". To me it means searching for the truth, and loving it when I found it. That p...

If your criteria is NOT being outnumbered, but feeling uncomfortable, then, pardon the truth, it is you who should pack up and get out. I feel totally...

This is a statement of belief. Reasonably speaking, neither of us knows whether Christianity is totally here to stay or it will dwindle to count peopl...

Your argument, is that Atheists should go home because they are outnumbered. So are blondes, you know. And blue-eyed people. And Black people and peop...

"... And the lion will lie with the kid..." Eventually all people and animals become herbavores, it seems. We might still fight for water and shrubber...

I believe @"Gus Lamarch" used it, I just quoted him. Please ask him instead of me, seeing it is his expression, not mine.

Aha. Okay.

You're right about that. I surmise you'd opine, but I don't attribute the following to you, I only want to say that in my opinion you could say this: ...

Thanks. I agree on every point. How does that compare to the monumental dimensions of the Universe, though?

No, sir, the battery won't change you. It is simply a power supply. What will change you is that you lose everything at the time of death; and the new...

Interesting. I always thought that at the monumental dimensions of the Universe, any finite object is nothing. But apparently it's just us? Others are...
