god must be atheist

Anus and Feces. One is borne by the other. The two are unseparable, to a point. Kantianism says you Kan't do this, you Kan't do that. Deontology says ...

(Response to the first post, the opening post.) I believe I am a man. -- what's the virtue in this? I believe you are a woman. -- there is no virtue i...

They seem to be true, but you can never be absolutely, 100% sure. Most people treat gravity and Newton's laws as true. It is practically very useful t...

He did not prove his laws, so he performed no experiments to prove his laws. This was the easiest question to answer so far on the forums.
September 13, 2019 at 22:19
Physical laws can't be proven by science. All physical laws are subject to change, correction, or invalidation.

Thanks, WF. It's two out of two in a day's work.
September 13, 2019 at 22:15
Yes, you're quite right. I am a... moron. No doubt about it.
September 13, 2019 at 22:10
The second part can be belied by different writing styles of authors. The first part is more like it. I sicked a whole bunch of insane or borderline i...

Too many negatives for my mutual understanding, but I think I agree with you. And I at the same time plead guilty as charged. I'm 65. By 45 I had lear...
September 13, 2019 at 12:40
I totally so agree, but I'd like to extend the approach one step beyond cool. YOU DON'T NEED TO DEPEND ON TRANSLATIONS. I memorized "Der Kritik der re...
September 13, 2019 at 12:31
Thank you, WF, but did you actually look at the quote? It says "god is an image of humans." This is what I needed to emphasize for you, and who better...
September 11, 2019 at 05:58
Thanks, Coben! I looked up the link. This is what it (partly) said: 1. I don't know what the analytic movement is. It is essential to know that in ord...
September 11, 2019 at 05:55
I am on the opinion which is unproven, that you feel humanism is void of humanity, because it is void of god... and that can only be because god is a ...

Then number of Christians believing in it does not change its status form a myth to a non-myth. Your answer is a non-sequitur. It neither supports, no...

In my world, morals are closely connected to societal institutions, and societal institution try to instill into people what the rulers of the society...
September 11, 2019 at 05:25
I completely agree with you WF. Perfect answer.
September 11, 2019 at 04:08
Science proves nothing. Proof is not one of the aims or functions of science. In math and logic you don't prove hypotheses. You prove theorems. Sorry....
September 11, 2019 at 04:03
A. It is not a myth. A myth is that the world was created in six days, and is less than 6000 years old. That's a myth. Reality is a myth only to the i...
September 11, 2019 at 04:00
This is true, but for me, personally, it takes a lot of the magic away from the otherwise cute stories that give mankind a reason to be, that they are...
September 11, 2019 at 03:56
Hypotheses are not to be solved. In math and logic, they are taken as assumptions, as givens, as accepted as true. In science hypotheses are to be sup...

I thought that complicated language is not the issue, but the usage of esoteric words. If the language of a text is proper, it is never complicated. I...

Thanks! I've seen those in action... the next closest willing applicant to you is typically 500 miles away from you, and she fat or a hooker. Guys too...

Politics is a form of religion. You act largely by faith. And most often you are betrayed, so it is little or not at all different from the batting av...
September 11, 2019 at 03:37
How stupid, inconsequential, and hair-raisingly seriously taken some of the beliefs of the religious are. This gives us Humanists topics for millions ...
September 11, 2019 at 03:35
Which continent? America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, or Antarctica? And how does that make any difference which continent the loser is from? I a...
September 11, 2019 at 03:33
I agree with everyone else here, too. I just want to add that "obscure" scientific writing and journals full of it may use words that are less frequen...
September 11, 2019 at 03:29
The closest I come to is "tündér" which in my language means "fairy" as in winged beautiful women.
September 11, 2019 at 03:18
What is tinder? I keep seeing their ads on the porn sites I visit for autoerotical purposes. But I never figured out what it is. I don't click on susp...

Sex leads to kids. You don't want your woman to fool around because that'd mean you'd be raising someone else's kid. And you don't want your man to fo...
September 11, 2019 at 03:12
What has this got to do with anything we are talking about? Law has nothing to do with faith. You can't legally force someone to believe in something ...

To gain more knowledge is one incentive to to stay, but it is not the only incentive. I come and go as my need to argue and my need to prove to myself...
September 08, 2019 at 04:33
That's your belief, not mine. Thou art the perfect example of a gullible person, who believes everything unbelievable.
September 06, 2019 at 10:30
This is not gullibility at all that drives people to pay taxes. You are gullibilized by your own blind devotion to a god that does not exist. Taxes, a...
September 06, 2019 at 10:29
This is one thing I don't believe. Speak for yourself. 1/2 of the world's entire population don't believe this.
September 06, 2019 at 10:27
I think I discovered what you call "unknown mental faculty". It has a name, too, alright. The hitherto unknown mental faculty that miracles in ancient...
September 06, 2019 at 10:16
I'ts okay. Philosophers use no categorical language; they say, "That's post-modernist regressivism" or something of the like, and they leave it at tha...

What is the difference between actual infinity and potential infinity? Same as between doing sex and an ability to do sex. That's how I'd explain this...
September 04, 2019 at 07:22
You are asking for parameters to define a concept as if those parameters could be established for sure. Well, some parameters of values expressed by l...
August 21, 2019 at 12:49
You are asking questions as if we were still in the pre-postmodernism era.
August 21, 2019 at 12:37
Okay, I'll disregard your future comments. If you are so stupid as to not notice the causation between Hitler's speeches to the Reichstag and to the p...
August 21, 2019 at 12:35
Thank you for the explanation.
August 21, 2019 at 12:21
You gave no explanation as to its specific meaning. Why do you blame me for that?
August 21, 2019 at 12:04
@"DingoJones" you have no clue what hate speech is. You can still hate someone, and express your hate. But you can't incite others to join your hatred...
August 21, 2019 at 12:02
You mother-fucking cunt, you go fuck yourself. Right now. Pronto.
August 21, 2019 at 11:57
Anything can be right or wrong in the sense of society's morals. By society's morals I mean those moral behaviour forms, which are encouraged by a par...
August 21, 2019 at 11:55
I wholeheartedly agree with this. You don't specifically target hate speech, but the meaning is there: some soiceties approve of it, some disapprove, ...
August 21, 2019 at 11:50
To me it makes sense. @"Maureen" is not asking if ANY god was in existence; the OP is asking if the particular god of the particular religion was in e...
August 21, 2019 at 11:39
If there was a god, then perhaps it, as an entity, worshipped himself or herself. Therefore God as such can be a self-creating entity, or more precise...
