god must be atheist

You have a big home. I only rent a Bachelor. In NYC it would count as a Royal Suite. In Texas, it would count as a studio, or a closet, or a flea-hole...

No, but I think my mind is IN solitary. 66 years so far, and some more to come, as it is a life-sentence.

Difficult situation. Have you given any thought of relocating? Canada is a nice country.

You just described me. I don't have the answer to even one philosophical question. Many answers, yes, but not one, congruent, definitive answer.

I have six self-published books. They each individually and together as a group are very sad examples of what ought never to appear on printed pages. ...

Music composition, sex, and pan cake mixes are just around the corner, too. Robots will have a much better sex life than humans could ever dream of. "...

I am fearless when it comes to words and standing behind what I say, (fistfights, streetfights, jail cells, and employee positions in a bank are a com...

I did a little searching around... I could find no reviews (peer reviews). Then I did a search for KTB Publishing, the publisher of this book. Guess w...

Good idea. But why would I need to read a book about this? It's a simple enough idea even for me to understand and internalize. Reading a whole book t...

I am sorry, Zeleb G and Barry Z, but I am an old man with advanced case of inability to memorize trivia. I am still good at analysis and stuff, but no...

An argument is probable, in the United States, but the case for it is meaningless. "How does God put mind to matter? We don't know. We just know that ...

I'd say about $25.77, plus tax. (This was sarcasm, and an attempt at humour. How do you put a value on something like that? And why exactly am I, and ...

if you look at the same period of each of the three graphs, which period is filled in for Trump, the cute observer will notice that both during Bush a...

The children of Florida, ages 8 to 11, join hands in a continuous line form north to south and from east to west in a single file across the panhandle...

Aw, shucks. I was again foiled by your superior argumenting skills. (S.)

Actually, reasoning works, but not to the extent of convincing the religious of the wrongness of their thinking. But reasoning still works for me, for...

My guess is that then you would get hardly any votes, but an equal number of responses to what this thread gets now.

I haven't been watching your responses, so to know I must ask you: what do you say when someone poses to you an argument that is deitic? that is, invo...

In what of your phantasies did he (he being 3017Amen) say he pushed you in a corner? He said "I realize you prefer ad hominem when pushed in a corner"...

Let me put it to you why I said that, lest you mistakenly believe I'm mocking you. I am not mocking you nor deism. But you really can't do too much wi...

I would venture to say that to your mind Deism comes immediately, no matter what the topic of discussion or contention is. I am not fighting to suppre...

This estimate is wrong, by its being random. You don't know how random works; random is not "let's exhaust all possibilities before we reach one that ...

I am on the firm stance that life can happen by combining elements in a random fashion. I have no need for god in my world view. I accept that it is n...

ta, Fdrake. The man said "it's airy", meaning, a bit windy. The woman, who probably was of lower classes, had been wont of pronouncing "hairy" as "air...

Your argument that purportedly supports your belief in the law of attraction is very weak. It is infinitesimally weak. It is so weak a five-year-old c...

Can you point out the mockery? If not, then take this back. Also take back the accusation that I mocked Dr. Pigliucci. And you are definitely not Stoi...

Bias is not bad? What do you think? Eh, you've already shown that when you show bias, it's good, according to yourself.

Here in Canada, I play cards with many different groups of players. One includes a British immigrant from Dorchester. It's now a constant gentle joke,...

A gentleman in London, England, walks to work a boisterous day. He encounters a young woman. A sudden whiff of air lifts her skirt. The gentleman, suc...

Cogito ergo sum only confirms the mind of the thinker. Other thinkers and their minds do not necessarily exist. Your opinion is an invalid inference o...

No serious thinker believes in the law of attraction. You do.

You are not very Stoic about my valid criticism of Stoicism; you are not Stoic about it at all. You just proved my case.

The discussion with Massimo Pigliucci's work and my criticism of it is not the topic here. Please start a topic on that, if you wish to discuss that. ...

(Fasten your seat belts, long sentence for the next five lines!) Is it true what I heard (from my cat, confirmed by an independent source, my radiator...

1. My mother's side is Jewish, my dad's, RC. Not only did we always celebrate Christmas, but so did my mom's side of the family before the war. (Then ...

That little piece of rock was the only thing that had ever shown any affection for me. Don't anyone ever tell me that rocks have a heart of stone.

I once lent my pet rock to my best friend, in grade 2, and he ate it. I cried for days.

You did not beat him up because he did your friend's or wive's gf. You beat him up in self-defence. There is nothing wrong with that. You can't get co...

I don't know about the harrassment, but the surveillance is not a bad thing. They protect you as much as they keep an eye on you. Similarly to the ada...

Deism and god does not come to my mind at all. Maybe yours, and I shan't deny that, I mean, how could I. But please accept, BarryZ, that alternate exp...

Interesting. I've never had that problem. I think it's because in my worldview some philosophies are replete with errors (spiritual worldviews), and s...

Here's looking at you, Bartricks: Can someone congenial prescribe a god to a non-believer? Can a proof be so shallow that ducks even won't wade in it?...

My goodness gracious. I read this as follows: My prof laughed at metaphysics. Although I proposed Leibniz's gonads to him as a legitimate metaphysical...

What if you believe there is no god? Then would this directive not lose its punch?

Chances are the man would stand up to his oppressive regime because he does not fancy living in an oppressive regime. God has nothing to do with hatin...

I see. Your doctor wrote you a prescription for you to become reasonable. I have news for you. The prescription failed.

You are saying you regard yourself as emptiness. That's actually right on the dot.

I omitted your option on purpose. Nothing is good enough to replace god. God does nothing. It has no purpose, no action, no visible effect on the univ...

I feel pretentiousness in bad philosophy. In good philosophy I feel there is a tiger. Socrates was a good philosopher in this sense. I read the Republ...

"Other". Reason stuff. Philosophy is to be on the side of the reason, the reasonable, the most likelily believable, on the side of valid logical deduc...
