Morality is a human centered concept and it would be equivalent in my eyes to giving god qualities similar to zeus if we gave him this moral high grou...
Yes it was all still vague. I'll stick with physicalists definitions of physical objects/material objects being those indispensable entities included ...
Now you need to define what a spirit is and what a substance is. Yes, biological indicators of the sexes, behaviors, and social rolls of many animals ...
Are you in favor of this particular vapid ex nihilo interpretation of the big bang theory? Given the only people I here espouse it are pop-science jou...
If you had taken anything away from my discussion I had with you we are left with concepts that pragmatically match to our interactions (epistemology)...
So could you actually define what god is? Are you in favour of abandoning anthropomorphic renditions of god including giving him the human moral high ...
Well there are aspects of these things we call matter or the ideal that change. It's your burden of proof to assert beyond our experiences that the tr...
Energy is a mathematically conserved quantity and the conservation of it comes only from time invariance mathematically. Light is would be matter then...
Being forced to continue going but not do much let along experience anything (like in a sensory deprivation tank) would become sterilized and boredom ...
Irrespective of the validity of your perspective/hypotheses, after an eternity of existence what has been dreamed up to be a heaven (eternal life) wou...
Which I think is a mainly small viewpoint to take as there are other ways of approaching defining omnipotence that do not explicitly write into their ...
You haven't defined matter so I do not know why this would be a problem given in this situation what ever aspects are to be defined as god gave rise t...
It exists in our heads and on the chalk board you write. If anything it's a mirage. . . a mirage gives the impression of one thing when in reality is ...
Light isn't pure energy that's sort of a misnomer. Here you're are using the word universe which i'm assuming you mean as what we can see through tele...
As a general rule of thumb, yes, but to actually analyze two completely different hypotheses with conflicting ontologies it becomes difficult to say w...
I wouldn't even that is the strongest argument i've seen. To wave away other arguments with a single sentence they must of have been rather poorly con...
You seem to be glossing over the free will defense here as while god would have given rise to human beings with the capability to perform certain acti...
Yes, a consistent definition would be required. Of a particular definition of omnipotence leading to contradictory actions not that god simpliciter is...
Some theists define it this way and I agree that if they seek to avoid a god doing logically contradictory things then this definition of Omnipotence ...
That's a heavy claim to support on your end. . . or a vacuous opinion. If a person defined what they meant by god or we discussed a known definition (...
Not really the same as the vagueness of human language (not having precisely defined terms to map onto the characteristics of nature) is what results ...
So it exactly some wavelength of light that is red and not a blending of different wave lengths of light that perceptionally (similar to a camera) fro...
Glad that plan includes occasionally insulting me. More grammar and not addressing my position. More grammar and not addressing my position but thank ...
More insults and I fixed it. . . your what. . . 70 or so years old (I recall you saying this) and yet you seem to act more childish than me in my youn...
You are either actively participating in the act of driving or you are not if you are day dreaming then you are not driving. Merely the inertia of the...
Okay. If they have written on the subject somewhere or someone is talking about them with direct quotations then it would definitely be authoritative....
A human being who may have deserved the label of Jesus may have existed. Most of the story regarding said individual is polluted by tall tales so it's...
Obviously I can par your prescription that I sum it up rather than be worrisome about specifics. Strange you gave an example where even intuitively or...
Devoid of context, yes, but when a person talks about George Washington in the U.S. they probably are talking about the person who was the first U.S. ...
Given all your philosophical questions or issues why hold onto christianity at all and not go towards another religion or not possess any religion at ...
Omnipotence. . . I attempted to post a thread discussing how we could define it not that it was impossible therefore god was (not to mention that woul...
Probably because you never get past the define your terms phase of the discussion either being intentionally obscure (i've personally now experienced ...
Depends on how you define causation and what it is which can then determine what things do have causes and what it means for things to not be caused o...
That is the point of that question its incoherent to ask without prior context or further if I even substituted a word that the word in question truly...
You don't seem to know the mind of god because you don't give specifics beyond "it's conscious" but it can also create other conscious beings which I ...
Coherent - Logical and consistent. Definition - The meaning/representation intended by a word in relation to other concepts/ontological entities. Also...
So god has the ability to create other conscious beings. . . I don't have that ability so that must be something unique to god. . . almost as if you n...
Jesus is human, god is human consciousness, so your saying a human existed that was conscious. To define a word is to specify what in reality that wor...
Never supposed we did as ignosticism can be taken to be rather tenative dependent on properly defined terms or context. To throw out the discussion wo...
Never said nor was being an ignostic defined as god is inherently always meaningless and not worthy of discussion. . . wow that strawman was easy to s...
I feel like this is similar to a creationist asking an atheist why they debate on religion so much despite the fact that they either know a god doesn'...
Is it a particular conception of god with predefined attributes? Then yes i'll take position(s) on it. Is it god without any predefined attributes? Th...
What? You give a definition of god (a coherent one) then the sentence (does god(s) exist?) suddenly attains meaning or coherency. It wasn't incoherenc...
