    "God (Allah) does not exist" vs. "God" ("Allah") is meaningless.

    Aupmanyav<<I don't believe in God": An atheist would say that only in reply to a theist who says "I believe in existence of God / Allah."<<>> That's shows the big complaint I have with atheists who talk like that to theists. Saying "I don't believe in God" makes the theist believe that the...

    "Thief"" I can speak with certainty, you will be infected, your resistance is futile, but hopefully your resistance will kick in and you will survive<<>> My resistance? What am I resisting? I have no idea of anything you could be talking about, saying I'm resisting something. If I don't know...

    "God (Allah) does not exist" vs. "God" ("Allah") is meaningless.

    Evangelicalhumanist,<<>>That probably needs a little clarification, as I doubt everybody will get it.<< When I say we deny transcendance, what I mean is that we believe that we are part of the All, and the All is part of us.<< You've lost me already. Let's go back to "deny transcendence". I...

    "God (Allah) does not exist" vs. "God" ("Allah") is meaningless.

    Atheists say they don't believe in any gods. I ask them "Were Zeus and Thor nonexistent gods that you don't believe in?" They say "yes". Then I say "What about the people who worshiped the sun? What about those who worshiped the earth?". They thought the sun had to be intelligent to move...

    Polymath257<<I don't need to lack belief in any particular deity to lack beliefs in deities. Do you believe that Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe in a deity? If so what deity do you believe that they believe in? Can you describe it? Polymath257<<i don't have to actively disbelieve to...

    "God (Allah) does not exist" vs. "God" ("Allah") is meaningless.

    I can't conjure up any concept of anything labeled "God" (or "Allah"). But most atheists say "I don't believe in God". What are they saying they don't believe in? I certainly don't know. I also don't know of any god that Christians, Jews and Muslims believe in. I look up "atheist" in the...

    What's wrong with 'I don't know'?

    When you're tempted to say "I don't know", watch out. There are lots of meaningless sequences of words spoken and written that end with a question mark -- sequences that sound or look like real questions but are meaningless. One common example is "Who created the universe?" Another is "Why is...

    The Problem With Theistic Arguments

    [I clicked "Quote" and nothing happened, so I clicked "reply"' Thief<<and you are saying?....cause and effect are NOT universal?<<>> "Universal" is only a word you can speak and write, it doesn't refer to anything you can think of.

    The Problem With Theistic Arguments

    Thief<<in the smaller scheme of things....that part of you left over after your last breath>> So you're using "spirit" to refer to a dead person, right? Thief<<I believe the body was formed to form spirit>> You believe the body was formed to form a dead body? What sense does that make...

    The Problem With Theistic Arguments

    Spirit? What's that? Team spirit? School spirit? Enthusiasm? An emotion?

    First cause

    PearlSeeker<<<No. There is contingent existence and there is existence par excellence or super-existence (boundless - "Ein-Sof"). Like infinity - it's not a number but it contains all numbers.<<>> There is nothing labeled "infinity", no matter how many times we say there is. The only numbers...

    First cause

    PruePhillip>>>I refer to the 'why' as a metaphysical question... Whatever created the universe, by definition, lay outside the universe. And ultimately, this suggests consciousness to me.<<< Is metaphysics anything but poetic jabber? Does "Whatever created the universe", "outside the...

    Atheism vs (ignosticism, theological noncognitivism, igtheism)

    <<night912>><<When you can no longer defend your argument in a rational way and end up resorting to repeating something over and over, it won't make a failed argument to miraculously become a successful one. <<night912>><<Here, I'll show it again. <<night912>><<So, according to you, you do...
