god must be atheist

I saw a video on Youtube that answered your question for me to my satisfaction. The guy was basically saying that there are two moralities, one carrie...

My lesson from this thread is that theists are addcited to the opium of the masses. Once you start it, you'll forever be missing it if you don't conti...

To me, any definition will do. Because we have no evidence of god, we have no evidence of god's alleged quality, quantity, capability, wishes, demands...

Christianity, the biggest and meanest :-) western religion has spiritual texts called the Bible,and the ideology taught in those are God worshirp, and...

What does an intrepid leap of logic require? :-) Bravery? Aye, there is the rub. I'm a chicken, in a sheepskin coat.

This is the first time someone called me wise. I am being myself in the world. Every creature, every stone, every tapeworm, every star is wise. Even m...

How do you think then the word Equivalence came about? "Equivalence in expressions is a thing which does not exist." -- entry in the great Encyclopaed...

I don't expect you to believe anything. I only expect you to accept that the belief in it is just as valid and has equal probability of being true as ...

Show me evidence that god does not exist. It is the same amount that god exists -- zero.
October 16, 2019 at 14:53
Yes, and I proved it. I am talking "possibilities" not facts. Do you understand the difference between probability and actual occurrence?
October 16, 2019 at 14:52
What is the measure of complexity? What is its unit value? How is it defined? I think the quote makes sense, but only intuitively and qualitatively, n...
October 16, 2019 at 14:51
For your information, I am not making that claim either. I am making the claim that it is possible for that thing to exist. Whether it exists or not, ...
October 16, 2019 at 14:47
Ha!
October 16, 2019 at 14:45
Whether I took it wrongly as a compliment, I am honoured by the distinction. (NOT joking.)
October 16, 2019 at 14:39
I don't know... I won't be the judge, but I wouldn't call it that.
October 16, 2019 at 14:38
And I am not sure, but what is the philsosophical implication you are attempting to draw from this exercis, @"isaacmoris"? And I am not sure, but your...

Thanks, P, for answering my exhaustive question, to my satisfaction, actually. There are many corollaries you instigated with this claim, and I mentio...

The thema of the previous post of mine prior to this very one, can be debunked by asking me, to describe precisely how the sequence of events happened...
October 16, 2019 at 08:19
Precisely, but the development of thought re: laws and cause and effect is a bit like which came first, the chicken or the other chicken. If you belie...

Precisely. Newton discovered many laws, such as preservation of momentum and energy, such as the nature of acceleration by gravity, such as the law th...

You got it nailed down well. However, you can still argue with the smarter religious, even if you don't convince them. And the arguments, while clean,...

One more case where you ought to have thought philosophically. I say this, because objectivity / subjectivity has nothing to do with proving or dispro...

If you don't know what the hell you are arguing about, then why are you arguing?
October 15, 2019 at 13:44
I appreciate it's your belief, and against belief I have no logical argument.** Let me know if anything changes. ** Not you, but people tenaciously cl...
October 15, 2019 at 13:41
And you must think about it more philosophically.
October 14, 2019 at 13:54
So is the claim that a god does not exist. Or some gods do not exist. If you don't believe me, prove it to me. I personally believe that there are no ...

The latter, when you can't find your glasses.

My aunt's Corningware thimble. That's what you are thinking about?

What???

The video is pretty straightforward, but the guy speaks with an almost incomprehensible accent. Luckily he posted at the trailing end of his video som...
