god must be atheist

True. But I always thought the Big Bang was the male and the Black Hole, the female. As a child, I was convinced that buses were male, and streetcars,...

True. Or take an English Lit class. Or just simply listen to what people say. "I hate it when the streetcar cuts off my left leg." "I hate it when the...

True. I learned a long time ago, and taught many people this (at least two people internalized it): "Never attribute to malice what you can explain aw...

I guess I had slipped into a pre-post modernist stance. Yikes.

This is a hard-and-fast definition, but those who are not convinced of any god's or gods' existence, are they able to behave sinfully? Guilt rides on ...

SOMEthing must be evil. Or else it's a word coined by evil-minded people who wanted to release the evil of meaningless concepts on mankind.

"In order to truly hate others, you must first learn to hate thy own self."

I can't control what is not real, or what is real. Can you? Can you control the situation in the Middle East, which is real? Can you control climate c...

So is hell. Therefore eternality is not an argument for meaning of life. Plus life ends at one point. What do I do with the eternal peace that is left...

1. So whom are those major religious texts interpreted by? If not by men and / or women, children. Those parts of religious texts that are interpreted...

Some things came easy to him, some harder. "Someone to love", well, he was popular. Something to do... yes, he had he means and the motivation. Someth...

I expect the MODs to shut down this thread in short order. I am pulling out, because I don't want to waste my time on posts that will be deleted. I al...

the description of it does, though.

I am a member and my opinion is different. This is strictly a value based opinion. I reject the validity that some members' idea what constitutes "rui...

You said this earlier many times. Your religion dictates you to say this. Your other expressions bely your honest efforts to obey this tenet. You are ...

You missed the point. This is part of humanity, thinking or unthinking. It is part of humanity that can't be divorced from humanity. You may want to d...

You claim ownership of this forum. This is rich.

You can't even separate your personal hatred from your world view. You can't not introduce your personal bias into any argument, claim or statement. Y...

As per my previous post, no reason or logic is needed in support of one's effort in trying to proselytise his or her position and ideology. But there ...

Simply put, it's tribalism. A member of a different tribe gets integrated fully if and only if s/he not only accepts the societal and personal institu...

You're putting the carriage in front of the horse. According to you, as I understand, it is not the fault of stupid, outdated, unsubstantiated and imp...

Excuse me. Is this a threat?

This is not the law. It is your loosely transcribed ideation of what the law is. The law you can look up in the law books... I am tempted to look up t...

I think Gnostic Christian Bishop is not an atheist. In my opinion he has an agenda and he is very careful in advocating it... he tries to prepare the ...

Your last sentence in this quote above is true. But please also consider this: This forum is also full of illogical theorizing by religious thinkers. ...

Guys, what is ethics? Everyone argues "this is ethical", "that is unethical", moral, immoral, but what is the bases on which you make these judgments ...

In a few words, if possible, could you describe why it is valid to call the atrocities against animals "unethical", instead of calling them "unkind"? ...

You believe attributes of god, but you don't know them. Or even if god exists. Your claims are ridiculous on a philosophy forum. On a Christian forum ...

It is not true. According to the Scriptures, those whom Jesus rejects, will perish like a moth in the eternally burning fire. In other words, only tho...

Not all of us. Only those of us who are changed into a dead body. As long as we are alive bodies, we ought not to be dead. Live bodies have simply not...

You did not recite one single law. You recited a whole bunch of common sense things that you think the law is. The law is much more complicated than s...

Newton's laws have been showed to work in special cases of the law that explained the 1918 experiment. Newton's Laws were not refuted, but expanded wi...

This circle is not existent at the moment. It has been changed, or it changed, into a triangle. I thought that the original topic was "change is impos...

You can come to any agreement, as long as you and the parties you are conversing with agree on something. Let me put my vote on this description of go...

Obviously you have never even seen an atheist. It is easy to talk about the alleged god: "God does not exist." Period. Did you see any hardship or dif...

The planet Neptune?

Change the stupid circle into a triangle or something. The circle ceases to be a circle, because it was cahnged into a triangle. What's the actual pro...

Thanks for the explanation, Alcontali. I looked up "The Riemann Hypothesis" and this is the simplest explanation that I found: Well, f... me. :-)

Especially when your English is not perfect, either.

Right. @"philosophy", forget Kant, Hegel, and the Continentals, and forget Socrates and Aristotle. Cross the corridor and attend lectures on Kierkegaa...

German is easier to learn for a native speaker of English than Ancient Greek.

All proofs mean that. Proofs in physics mean that. Except there are no proofs in the science of physics. This is preposterous. Any one counter-example...

Kant either uses the word "instinct" in a way which is different from what we understand to be instinctual behaviour; or else he is a moron. You can't...

So if I am slave to my instincts, I am less free than if I am a slave to my other considerations, which have nothing to do with the embetterment of so...

That is the paradox of the British Commonwealth Legal system, or whatever else it's called. Because of precedence, and because it's so huge, nobody kn...

Kant is a bit like the bible. Many people misunderstand him, in so many different ways, that a person who happens upon his philosophy will learn nothi...

That is easy to imagine. But hard to come by. You'd need to visit all the planets of quite a few galaxies before you'd get to one. If that was achieva...

Why don't you take the fifth? The "no comment" or "withhold information" choice. That's not a lie, yet saves your children. Philosophers can be so daf...
