Sure here's the thesis from your Kierkegaard quote that's relevent to my argument: Does existence have primacy over essence or the reverse? Right?

Is that what your way of saying that your atheism is untenable? I mean you didn't even answer any of my concerns. Tick tock tick tock

I don't have an answer for mathematical abstracts. And neither do you or anyone else.

Hahaha, was that you who gave me a reach-around the other night? LOL

Absolutely banno it's fine to say I don't know. But positive atheism doesn't say that. In my case I'm not interested in being an agnostic. I took the ...

Hey Tim ! I never said God did it. The Atheist say God didn't do it.

Yeah I don't think it's an all or nothing dichotomization exercise though. Some stuff was very useful. With respect to intuition, it seems he got that...

Gotcha....thus: Time is eternity eternity is time to view them as opposites Is man's perversity.

No, it has something to do with Atheists lack of ability to explain them adequately You asked me a question so I provided more detail... Surely you're...

Awesome. Reminds me of: Existence is time Time is existence To see them as opposites Is man's stubbornness

Good stuff!!

Hey Poetic, cool stuff dude!!!

Assuming these questions are meant to somehow support theism, you should probably share that reasoning first. " Hey Praxis, thanks for asking: 1.Mathe...

Does mathematical abstract ability confer any survival advantage? Does music theory have any biological significance at all? Do all events have a caus...

No you haven't. Unless it consists of "god did it" written on the back of a copy of 'Watchtower' I never said "God did it", did I? On the contrary, un...

"I reason from existence, not towards existence."

Okay, don't take this the wrong way, but that gibberish didn't explain one's epistemic truth.

If I may, I'd like to ask you what your understanding of atheism is? A disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. And so my existent...

It's certainly possible that had he written that today it might be a different analysis. However, the existential thing about anxiety is a great topic...

We're talking past one another. My concern is that you haven't provided what your 'system of belief' consists of...for example what is the nature of y...

Sure , I have no quarrel with that. The point I'm making is relative to volition. In this context, at some level, one must make a choice. For example,...

Why does he say that he cannot use the term intuition if they are to become knowledge? Another interpretation would be the cosmological computer brain...

No. This is such a basic and simple thing to understand. Atheism isn't anything like an ideology, a body of theory, a school of thought. It's only a t...

So, does the atheist's skepticism essentially mean that your theory is true? Don't take that the wrong way but it sounds like: Atheist: I don't believ...

Are you sure? If there was no mystery, why do the majority of people believe in God?

I believe you've got the analogy a$$backwards, no pun intended LOL Atheism is the opposite of Theism like heterosexual and homosexual is to sexuality.

Now there, you've got that right. It's really simple is it not? I've reached my conclusion (leap of Faith) based on 'existential phenomena'. All you'v...

He may be beginning to realise that his conclusions do not follow from his premises; his argument is no where near as strong as he thought Really? Guy...

Ok, I went ahead and voted for 'theist'. With respect to the other question about why no 'theist' were perhaps voting, I can only speculate. To this e...

I'm not following that Isaac why would I need to reform the questions? The Apophatic theologist would consider those existential questions as addition...

Does mathematical abstract ability confer any survival advantage? Does music theory have any biological significance at all? Do all events must have a...

Two concerns with your reasoning: 1. The opposite of Theism is Atheism. Unless you're trying to posit Nilhilism, then your argument works. 2. Terrapin...

For your information, in puting my faith into words, that approach is essentially Apophatic or negative theology.

Maybe the question is why does Deity rear it's ugly head in virtually every intellectual/ abstract philosophical discussion. The reason why I asked th...

Thanks for asking. You pretty much hit the nail on the head. The traditional theist is typically going to default to fundamentalism. Just like the ath...

Just a minor item: you will find an irony in philosophy, like I did when studying all the domains ( Ethics, epistemology, metaphysics contemporary phi...

Hahaha ( Christian Existentialist)

Yeah I don't believe in hell. There was a gentleman in the old forum that did extensive study on the subject/ problem of evil but can't remember what ...

Oh and I forgot to mention and give some love to the wisdom books in the OT. In paraphrase there is scripture that talks about 'always remember the en...

I appreciate that analysis

I'm sorry but I'm losing you on that one...? My faith is based on many things. But the seven concepts I mentioned in the OP provides more persuasive e...

Really? I'm afraid of dying, aren't you? I don't know about you but I'm living a pretty happy life and I'm sure you are too... After all sitting aroun...

Okay you're wrong and I'm right. Now what?

Good questions. I will answer all of them in this succinct judgement: All events must have a cause. Sorry for the redundancy but it's real simple

I'm not following you on that one...

Do all humans know why they die,?

I agree with you. For example quantum physics is a mystery to me. Yet another mystery...

Because you said you picked atheism over theism and theism accounts for mystery / faith. Yet you conceded that there is mystery in the world and in li...

Are you saying that you know why we are here?
