god must be atheist

Comments

By imagining it was a code and acting on our imagination. Okay. You are a bit deft. "ACREW" is the password to my laptop, to my computer, or to my iPh...

For this to be true, some poeple must have told all supremacist whites, that "law and order" is a wonk-wonk nudge- nudge. Without explicitly agreeing ...

I actually did not say that, and I deny the truth of your statement.
September 26, 2019 at 19:46
So to you there is no difference between good and ethical. If I read your sentence right.
September 26, 2019 at 19:34
You have come to that conclusion, but not the atheists. Some of us do feel that morality exist, we just can't put our fingers on it. It's a bit like g...

Jeez, here we go again.

I dont know why people still bother with Zeno's paradox of Achilles and TerrapinStation. To get to where TP is at one point, takes less and less time ...
September 26, 2019 at 19:27
The choice is immaterial. The OP's question is "can a belief be irrational." Everything else does not matter when we actually read a post and reply to...

This is a difficult cookie. Ethics are not defined anywhere in its literature, or wherever the word pops up. There is no universal ethics. If there is...

Worry is a uniquely human cognitive featire, and it is a survival skill, as much as it causes damage to the coronary arteries. Without worrying you'd ...

I guess I was wrong. And yes, it is a foreboding. You are right.
September 26, 2019 at 14:52
Practice says, yes. Just one more addition you'd need: repeatable. And you need to be able to figure it out intuitively. I think this makes a thought ...
September 26, 2019 at 14:48
The belief is rational. You can believe all you want. You could even believe that god exists, and nobody can stop you from that. Basing decisions on b...

1. We don't know that we have very little knowledge about the sturctue of reality. Maybe we're very close to, maybe we are very far from, complete kno...

I think Lepechaun uses his definition as an axiomatic truth. I bet you any amount of dried leaves that that is the case.

I can't operate a smart phone, I can't start a keyless car and I can't drive a driverless car. This is the beginning of Armageddon. Woooo... the winds...
September 26, 2019 at 14:32
Not every, but almost every word you wrote reflects misinformations, lies, and outrageous claims. I wish you would stop writing to me, because your so...
September 25, 2019 at 21:56
Joshua, I don't believe you are an atheist. You wouldn't have written your post above if you were. You are blinded by your faith, and can't see beyond...

No. You believe only god? I believe the weather report. I believe when my neighbour says he is going to go the barber shop. I believe my x wife when s...
September 25, 2019 at 19:28
As god is my witness, I don't know what you are talking about. "After" what? Assignment of Thinghood? What the heck is a thinghood? Especially conside...
September 25, 2019 at 19:16
There is no difference in the final format. This is due to Ahab being Melville's brain child. Ahab can't say anything different from what Melville put...

Bridget, if your argument stood, then god would not only be genderless, but would be also tiger-like, wheat-like, mollusk-like, etc. etc., since he cr...

But they are reported that they have, by the author. "Jennifer thought the sky was bluer than on most other days." "Jennifer thought highly of George ...

I tentatively agree with aletheist on what he said in this last post above this one of mine.
September 25, 2019 at 03:03
You stated something is possessed by atheists. The onus is on you to prove that. You are not in the heads of all atheists. You just created a false co...
September 25, 2019 at 02:58
I would say it's the toes. But seriously speaking, other things are necessary than just the lack of known counterexamples. So I say this is a false as...
September 25, 2019 at 02:48
Yes, I admit I enjoy winning arguments. Don't ask me why. No, I did not distort your story. And the logic stands. You wrote you teach your students to...
September 25, 2019 at 02:41
Yes, but isn't Ahab an imaginary person? I think a novel can never report the thoughts and beliefs of an imaginary person... the novel reports how the...
September 25, 2019 at 02:30
So... this is a report after the measurement. Check.
September 25, 2019 at 02:28
Then you did not say the truth when you first posted about what you taught. You clearly said, you teach your students to question authority. I proved ...
September 24, 2019 at 23:05
I calls them as I sees them. You wrote this originally: You gave no indication at all beyond this about what you teach. I ASSUMED NOTHING BEYOND THIS ...
September 24, 2019 at 23:02
What do you mean by that? Let's sort this out as well. You say I assumed you meant something different than what you meant. So let's hear what you mea...
September 24, 2019 at 22:56
So in effect you don't tolerate your students to question your authority. "It's my way or the highway", you say on the day you hand out the syllabus. ...
September 24, 2019 at 22:54
Do I detect that you don't teach what you originally told us you teach? You told us origianlly that you teach your students to question authority. Now...
September 24, 2019 at 22:51
Same dialogue. If I knew. How would I know? You told us? I simply went by what you told us on the post. I calls them as I sees them. If I assumed that...
September 24, 2019 at 22:47
I apologize for mistaking your gender. I had no way of knowing. You never gave an indication. But we came to an understanding that you are a woman. DE...
September 24, 2019 at 22:43
Okay, thanks. What about the last part of my tri-part question of your teaching? If a kid questions you, when you teach "You must question authority",...
September 24, 2019 at 22:37
If you called me a troll, you simply reject the reasoning in my criticism. It's fine, but the logic is infallible that you can't teach to question aut...
September 24, 2019 at 22:31
This is no version; it does not address my question at all. This ain't an answer either. If the kid does not question you, obviously he ought to get a...
September 24, 2019 at 22:29
This could lead only to two different responses: all communication would stop, or ELSE, all communication would explode into an infinite series of que...
September 24, 2019 at 22:21
What do you answer when the kids ask you, "Why ought we question authority?" And what do you answer, when the kids don't question you? And what mark d...

Thanks for reopening the thread, @"Baden". I'm at my wit's end. I've been trying to make this ignore extension to work, and I can't. Is it just me, or...
September 24, 2019 at 22:04
Hold on. The novel existed before the first REPORT of it. That is, if you consider a school report, or a critical analysis, or even a library index ca...

Oh. I just meant it as a sarcastic expression of criticizing the parallel one about love that has been going around for a long time, for its own stupi...
September 24, 2019 at 21:47
No, we are not ashamed because we don't possess it. We are insulted when someone suggests that atheism is a god-fearing belief system. Whereas (some) ...
