god must be atheist

Comments

thanks, for clarifying both of my questions for me. Much appreciated.

The same what? Unreferenced pronoun. No clear antecedent. Actually, no antecedent at all. Please provide. Thanks.

By no means have I read all or most or even a sizeable amount of the scriptures or of Greek mythology and philosophy, but the readings I've done showe...

Agreed. And Jews took most of their mythology from Babilonian tales. The Babilonians took their tales from Jihodanian legends, and the Jihodanians bas...

The church first destroyed all other cultures that provided education. Naturally, there was no alternative. This is not a merit of the church, it is, ...

This I find rather odd. To have pride because someone roots for a particular set of complete strangers to him to win a game. - there is no personal ac...

I located it. Do a search on youtube with this term: "ethics private and public 2019 09 22" MODS: If this is illegal by TPF standards, please delete t...

I think this above is a better description what an atheist is, then this following: "An atheist does not believe in god." The two are not equivalent. ...
October 14, 2019 at 04:47
I appreciate this is true. But I did not claim this. I said, In a sense, however, I believe you are right. "Atheist" means not that one requires no fa...

So does your propostition.
October 14, 2019 at 04:36
An atheist is one who does not believe in god. A theist is one who believes in god. God does not believe in god. He KNOWS he exists. Faith or belief i...
October 14, 2019 at 04:31
Did you say this? I got the message from you (especially because it was in a reply to my explanation why god is an atheist if he exists) that I ought ...

I simply don't buy that modern science has its fundations in the Scriptures. If you say that early scientists in Christian Europe were all christians ...
October 14, 2019 at 04:21
What a fool I have been! I thought that science developed by observing natural phenomena, and explaining them. Now! NOW you tell me it's a subset of C...

I saw a video on the Internet that deals PRECISELY with that. I posted it, the link, here, on this site and within hours my post with the link disappe...

They are mutually exclusive, yes. But they are both possible. Much like it is possible that god exists, and possible that god does not exist. One excl...
October 14, 2019 at 03:22
The proof I provided used plain English words. To claim that theists own some words exclusively is absurd.
October 14, 2019 at 03:18
I would agree if I knew what "preponederantly" and "choatic" meant. I say order and order-makers may be randomly generated. -- Period. No need to proc...
October 13, 2019 at 22:04
This is not true at all. I won't respond to countering this, as this is an internal judgment, which you are unwilling to make. I don't blame you, beca...
October 13, 2019 at 22:01
Same here. I was born and raised in an Eastern-block country, where I was never taught religion, never was told there was a god. I first encountered a...
October 13, 2019 at 21:49
My moniker has different roots. This is how it goes: God knows it exists (if he exists -- let's for a minute suppose he does) Therefore he needs no fa...
October 13, 2019 at 21:37
It is mere partizansm. There is no proof god exists; there is no proof god does not exist. I BELIEVE GOD DOES NOT EXIST. But I allow the validity for ...

No, no. More like, "Everybody wants to bone me. Mm-mm."
October 13, 2019 at 11:22
The answer is "yes". Some may argue that the probability is different, provided there is an additional (to me unfounded) belief that the scriptures ar...
October 13, 2019 at 11:17
accidental error
October 13, 2019 at 11:14
Ditto here. I am completely convinced that god could exist. Or that he does not exist. Either way. The problem for me starts when people claim knowled...
October 13, 2019 at 10:47
I think it should be easier to define god by what it isn't. According to pantheists, what isn't god, isn't. According to Christians, what isn't god is...

I don't think we can define an already existing entity. It can be described, or delimited, or found out what it is. But define? To define is similar t...
October 13, 2019 at 10:14
This is true. Under all circumstances. But if you take a room in which movements of self-propelling objects are present, then without any designer the...
October 13, 2019 at 10:04
I think theism means a BELIEF in god, and atheism, a BELIEF in no god. Belief requires no proof. No atheist is showing you or attempting to show you t...

That's very sad and deplorable. I outright condemn this. But it's not exploitation of the working classes. I used the word "exploit" in the Marxian se...

You're right about that. I just can't think of any other filter that has so much more effect in distorting the observation of nature as religions. In ...

Alcontali, did you reword the opening post? I am not accusing you of that, because it was late last night that I last looked at it, but some parts tha...

Okay. It's easier to admit that I am a fucking goddamned idiot, who is stupider than a typical and normal 12-year-old, than to make sense of any of th...

Obviously people don't like to hear the China part. No truth is ever welcome. Anywhere. Even on a website for philosophical enquiry. You guys prefer i...
October 09, 2019 at 13:57
You're right, Alcontali. The fact that there is one god, is negated not only by the claim that there are zero gods, but also by the different claim, t...
October 09, 2019 at 12:37
There is a difference. Maybe I used the wrong shorthand for the set. There is not a denying by an atheist of multiple sets of different numbers of god...
October 09, 2019 at 11:52
I addressed this already. Assuming {1,2,3,4,5} gods, has the counter assumption of not having {1,2,3,4,5} gods. Together they form the probability of ...

I admit you are right in this instance. I blundered.

Touche. Allow me to correct myself. (If that is permissible in the normal course of debates. By whatever rules.) Corrected version: Expressions of lan...

According to this, your demand has been satisfied. There are two states, or two subsets: - god exists - god does not exist And they are mutually exclu...

Let me know when you come to my town. I'll have all lights on all the time.

I don't think you can prove that. But I can disprove this claim by you. "You do not understand it", "you do not understand it", "you do not understand...
