god must be atheist

Just dropping in. Read OP and nothing else. I once went to friend's solo exhibition and sale a long time ago, about 15 years back. There was just one ...

It's so not me. Of course I offer it not as a downer or dissent, but just as an observation. I've heard people like you exist, but this is the first t...

Oh, goody. I am a Canadian. I enjoy paying taxes. It is the extreme pleasure of every Canadian to do our patriotic duty for country and king, because ...

You're right, Noah. Our world is not a single tribe with a small number of tribal humans. It is, like you say, a big world, where the governement does...

You don't need to get inside someone's mind to clearly see that he or she is clearly wrong. Your point is a non sequitur. As all the points you've bro...

But the king is he demos. The electorate. You and me. I actually condone your premise. Let's all commit suicide. Last man standing needs no laws; laws...

Would not be "bad behaviour" the behaviour that countervened the expected? So the expected behaviour would be the uncodified law. And the expulsion: w...

Okay, I get it. Thanks. The problem with this is that the entire universe, in its infinite expanse, whether it contains finite or infinite amount of m...

Okay, since you can handle it, you must be able to get a grip on it. Go for it.

Swahili.

So you say the bible stories are all fiction. But to present fiction as true events, is a lie. And that is precisely what Sunday schools do. I don't f...

The expanding universe model has many, many theoretical explanations, and none defy the continuing event of entropy.

It's not a statistical reality. Energy levels equalize, via heat transfer. They can't unequalize. This leads to the depletion of useful energy, as wor...

I think Wayfarer meant that there are two cosmic clocks: one gets reset every so often, and that is the clock, so to speak to the time that it shows t...

I thought that it couldn't. It turns out that it not only can, but it does. Much smarter men and women figured this out. I researched the topic becaus...

Yes, and then the events would repeat again and again and again. Everything possible not only has happened, but has happened an infinite number of tim...

I would say entropy is a physical event recognized by humans as such. Not merely a human concept divorced entirely from reality.

Be careful what you ask for. Hitler did not come up with his ideology by himself in a vacuum. Nor did Noriega, Nigeria, or Nagasaki. "Hallja, maga, Na...

There is no sure fire test. You can't ask me and I can't ask you any question that tests self-awareness. If you say you have it, then from my point of...

That's great! I am happy for you. Come to think of it, I also think, to this day, that two plus two is four. Sometimes these teachers are wickedly goo...

That's like taking the mystery out of "how much is two plus two", and then the next second telling the kids, "Well, it's four, of course, you little c...

So...teaching creationism in bible school is immoral. Or that christ has risen. Or most other bible stories. I agree with that. then how come the reli...

Telling little school children (grade 2 or 3) that blue-eyed kids are inferior, and brown-eyed kids are good children. Then next week, after a social ...

Number of switches and loops and feedbacks are only a prerequisite for consciousness to exist in a system. Another prerequisite is the dependence on t...

I love even the sound of this! (Sarcasm.) Some corollaries: Regional Gun Firing Marital Fidelity Act National Prevention of Rod-Saving Child Act Munic...

In a population, a level of moral adherence to morality and law is unevenly distributed. Everyone breaks the law, some law. Some break it innocuously,...

Can you name a page number reference on an easily accessible copy on the Internet to this notion in the book? I am not challenging you, I am challengi...

Thanks. Very interesting. I hope you won't take offence, but I don't buy this. I am an existentialist; I believe that existence exists. Cogito ergo su...

If everyone is an agnost... (which I support... but then why create a word that only applies to humans but does not delineate any sub-group... a human...

Actually, if you consider the quotes mean to separate the actual morality from studying morality, then you are right. I admit that. But it is still no...

I don't know why you are defending @"Galuchat", @"Isaac". Do you have a personal connection to him or her in real life, or outside this forum? @"Galuc...

This I agree with. But he said "function", and I assumed he or she was intentionally choosing his or her words. If you want to forgive that, go ahead....

Isaac, I did not expect this of you. A function is not a topic of examination. A function is a response by unit to certain stimuli. Both in life, in m...

Oops. I misread you. Theoretically, there may be an ultimate good. But that has nothing to do with morality. Good, doing good, being good, is not mora...

There is no such measure. If someone claims moral authority over you, kick him or her in the shingles and spit in his or her face. Unless there are wi...

It is easiest to judge by moral ultimacy. "I judge you to be morally faulty." Or something to that effect. You can't prove that you made the right jud...

Well, there you go. There is no ultimo morality. It is a mirage that everyone believes in, and everyone likes to own. I spit on those people. They mak...

You make a good argument for this. How do you suppose we go about researching life after death? The scriptures are garbage. But what other source of e...

Bingo, Dingo!

i come back to something to show that you can think of something that does not exist. Peter is a man. Peter is not Peter. Therefore Peter does not exi...

MU, you're right. Unenlightened, you have the right to hold that opinion. MU, you can see why moralist vegetarians seem like they try to push their mo...

This may be irksome to you, but to atheists (at least for me) the most irksome opinion is a theist's who says that atheism is just another, different ...

It's amazing how others can express what I say with using 1/4 the amount of words that I use. Congratulations.

True, and this is also true: Much as how the physical acts in a contact sport like marital arts would be illegal and criminal, if they were done by a ...

my sentiments exactly. That's why I think it's banal to try to bait someone with the same thing you are selling. It is just a self-defeating endeavour...

I don't agree with this. What morality is (the essence and the very kernel of attribute or attribute-set what makes an act moral or amoral), is not de...

I am an atheist, and you described my feelings perfectly, except it's not that I insist on a zero-sum thing, which is only coincidental, although very...

I can hardly wait to get back to grade 4 class and write an essay "what I read in my Mid-Winter Break". Modern Love (of Wisdom) Here's a word. About b...

I thought that the very idea of Plato's ideals was that they were actually existing, physical things, that embodied the perfect, everlasting, structur...

You actually did, what you deny you did. Assuming we are not professional philosophers, we can only have OPINIONs on what the opinions of professional...
