I completely agree, but does the idea of a necessary being sound logical to you? If anything this would disprove that there is a God overall as it wou...

Of course, but overall Utilitarianism does condone immoral actions where as the categorical imperative would be more stern on these situations that Ut...

Interesting, I didn't think of it this way. However, if this were the definitive answer then there would be no argument as to whether God exists or no...

I completely agree. But how do you feel about Kant's way of resolving this. Instead of having to base morals on a man made calculus, Kant uses a logic...

I personally don't believe that there are arguments that are logical enough to prove the existence of God without entailing a problem. God apparently ...

I agree completely. However, I don't believe that God is a metaphore for life, but instead perhaps something that people can place faith in to cope wi...

This is incredibly important because it is and empirical falsifiable truth that we can depend on. The fact that our brain already knows what we are go...

I understand this - Kant did say that existence is not a predicate meaning that you can't explain God in terms of whether he exists or not because exi...

But you can't talk about god having a designer without talking about how he came to exist. Because that is the whole point, no? How did this complex k...

I agree with you personally in saying that Christianity is false. I just think that your argument could be a tad stronger. For example, it is stated i...

Both, in a sense. I was countering that particular premise because your argument depends on souls having free-will in heaven. Which has to be impossib...

I don't follow how this would warrent God to be able to pop into existence. Why is God exempt from logical rules if he can only do what is logically p...

I agree

Mhm.. Mhm.. The thread seems to have started a successful discussion even with my atheistic laziness. I am not an atheist, as it were, and I think its...

Most definitely the designer needs a designer. How can you justify something as complex as 'God' to have clicked himself into existence. Even if that ...

I believe this premise is flawed. How can you have contingent free-willed souls in heaven who do not sin. Heaven would not allow sinners or sins in it...

I agree entirely. Free will is incredibly flawed in both a realistic and religious sense (Not to sound condescending). Free will is the idea that we h...

I'm not going to argue with you, I haven't been hostile to you or anyone else. So you continue throwing your pointless tantrum, and I'll continue havi...

I still think that these are concepts, things that do not exist to the extent that they are apprehend able. I cannot go over to the corner of my room ...

If you don't like the topic, don't come to my thread. It's as simple as that. My problem is clearly stated in the title. I am having trouble believing...

Indeed, I believe that if something has the ability to be apprehended, in any way, must be real and therefore exist. What reason does it have not to b...

I do refer to God as a whole, bringing both the religious aspect in along with God himself. As he cannot be God without the religious aspect, therefor...

Are there any answers that you have to the questions you have presented? I'd love to hear them.

I agree, but there has to be some sort of logical explanation as to why we have new experiences after falling into slumber.

Indeed I do

You forget, Science is based on the one thing that doesn't necessarily exist; Mathematics. Take a number or any kind in your mind, Now make an equatio...

Agreed, a relationship may be formed between the mirrors sepereatley; but together they are no longer functional for what they are intended to be used...

I disagree, I think that there is a continuous wall, Just because we live in the present and remain here does not mean that we are unable to foresee o...

I disagree, Science cannot be the main fundamental manifestation, or one atall as it provides information that could not exist due to the fact that it...

Because it is evident that we can think, feel, fear and so on; if you have to doubt yourself, you would still need a mind to be able to do that. You c...

Are you proposing that science is the holographic image that you're thinking of?

I admire the argument, however, this hologram must be in a distinct location in order for our 'beams' to create our representation of the world. And w...

Why must there be material things. There is no need for material substance to formulate ideas. Why wouldn't there be a distinction between minds and t...

What are you having trouble with?

If you continue reading on you will realise that my argument was to remove the wall (world) and support the fact that there are just minds and there c...

It may be impossible for us to be able to put ourselves in the position of our future locations, but the break in the wall remains doubtful to me; as ...

Of course, I agree that the 'wall' is a confinement that we rely on for many reasons. And the world has had many advances; making rapid progress from ...

I think differently, Being trapped in a deprivation tank will deny our access to our senses, yes. But who is to say that we will be unable to still th...

Indeed we must need justification. So what may your justification be for the existence of the world and our cerebral minds that are seen to be beings?...

I disagree, The mind cannot be housed in the world, if we assume that everything that we experience are just ideas. You can't have something 'real' be...

That is indeed interesting, I believe that the world does indeed need the mind to exist - giving that we all have a representation of it that we canno...

I agree, for us to remain alive we must keep sustained and we can only do so by using the world as a wall to lean on. However, our needs and the exist...

My strong approach to this question would be, forever and always, that we can never be made up of what is defined by mathematics. Sciences, such as ph...
