    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    Yeah fair enough, who wrote this by the way? And, why do they have to write it in such a way, that it's so hard to understand, seeketh, hath, verily..........It's not very 'user' friendly. If God cared so much what we believe, he should've made it a little easier to understand :)

    If God is loving and omnibenevolent why would God…

    When you consider that God is loving and omnibenevolent, it makes no sense for anyone to think God cares how we believe in him. And to go one step further a loving and omnibenevolent, wouldn't even care if we believed in him at all.

    You Can't Argue Against God

    Does the Boltzmann Brain theory is that it might have been easier for a human brain to form, then all the other complexities of the universe? Could you please explain how this relates to objective reality. No where did I read that the forming of Boltzmann Brain means that anything is possible...

    The Good Samaritan, and what it means to believe in something

    Yes, what you say is absolutely true. This parable has a great message, as does lots of other bible verses. I'm an atheist but go to mass on the odd occasion because my wife works in a catholic school. And I do enjoy a good homily about a positive message from the bible. However, unfortunately...

    Reason why the truth wasn’t written.

    Yeah, of course you can find answers in your knowledge of your beliefs

    You Can't Argue Against God

    No, I'm open to learning new things (might be a bit heavy....) My point is, that 'god' is purely subjective and has no truth/no objective reality Doesn't Methological Naturalism still need some level of observed facts and and observation, none of which 'god' has?.

    If God Wanted Us to Believe...

    Yeah agree but I think Genesis' and the bible has so much weight to carry, that it loses some punch. For me personally, it's mythological stories aren't told anywhere near as well, to stories like King Arthur, Lord Of the Rings and some of the SciFi/Fantasy classics

    Reason why the truth wasn’t written.

    If you don't believe in the idea of knowledge, you may not find answers. In contrast, if you don't believe in the idea of God, you can still find answers.

    Yes, so everyone has there own subjective take on what objective reality is. However, some things are what they are, regardless of what any individual believes or feels about them. And god is not one of them.

    You Can't Argue Against God

    Yes maybe you are right, that you can't argue against god because the notion of god is purely subjective. So, I couldn't argue against the claim of 'God is all knowing' because he is a figment of your imagination.

    If God Wanted Us to Believe...

    Not sure, maybe he left evidence because he wanted to 'test' our faith. Our interpretation of the evidence is what counts. Isn't god all about faith, he 'tests' us all the time, and believing he created the universe is another test? Or maybe he didn't know humans would find this evidence...

    Reason why the truth wasn’t written.

    Okay I will agree that we 'will be no more'. However, that belief you have is a fact and the same for everyone. Anyway, in my previous post, did my philosophical reasoning make any sense?

    Reason why the truth wasn’t written.

    One thing that's undisputable is that we are born, change in various ways and then die. Can I try and put a philosophical spin on this. Firstly, my ontological view is one of realism, that life has a start, middle and end. Secondly, my epistemological is objective because it has been observed...

    Reason why the truth wasn’t written.

    That's what you think. :) Sorry my friend, science has spoken. It is fact that humans start, they change and they go. Like the universe.

    You Can't Argue Against God

    As good as any knowledge, the idea of god is a personal one, so someone can say whatever they want in favour of god. And in turn, someone then can argue against that god, whatever it is. So you can argue against god.
