    Atheists: does God exist?

    Setting aside the obvious differences in ontological class between the two beings - Santa Claus and God - you might consider the fact that the contemporary character we've come to know as Santa Claus in his many cultural variations is based upon an actual person who lived in an actual time and...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    No suspicion necessary. Many atheists seem to attempt to assure that there will be confusion. Here is an example of creating obfuscation of an issue - perhaps unintentionally. Taking a premise for granted does not automatically isolate oneself from having any belief on the matter. Nor does it...

    You've just concisely summed up the near entirety of human understanding.

    Atheists: does God exist?

    We can equivocate tell heck wont have it on what atheism is. We might look up the entomology of the word and see that originally the word literally means "without god" or "godless". That my friend is not a deferral of belief. That is a testament of belief. A deferral of belief would be akin to...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    I'm suggesting that often atheists don't seem to realize what the position of being atheist actually entails. I don't think so, one can certainly take up a particular position concerning a particular subject but taking any particular position on a subject entails having some sort of belief...

    Atheists: does God exist?

    If the responses on here are from actual atheists I'm very surprised since most engagements I have had with the professed atheists on these forums have inadvertently resulted in their insisting they have no beliefs concerning Gods existence. If you have no belief concerning a subject then you...

    Why people do what other people tell them to do

    The point is, suffering is inevitable. We grow up spiritually despite that suffering. Christ suffered for even those who denounced him. If you don't at least suffer sympathetically or empathetically for others in this current world then you've missed his message. That's not within our...

    Shifting more towards atheism

    My point was that Modern physics - Quantum mechanics if you will - has reached a point in its study where certain results are by their very nature unreasonable. Quantum mechanics has become metaphysical. Superposition, the dual nature of light quanta, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the...

    Shifting more towards atheism

    Um...yes, that's one way of looking at what I said is it not? Conform or be conformed? Unconsciously would, I suppose correspond to "...or someone else's" that I said....better stated here as "something" else I think - apart from our conscious reflection. Christians -proper- cannot be...

    Shifting more towards atheism

    Seems reasonable to me.;) You need to elaborate further for me where your going with this. Whether or not physical evidence is needed depends on the calculations your doing. For example you cannot calculate the probability of the a physical system being in any particular state unless you have a...

    Apparently you believe that all of modern physics is unreasonable then....can't say that I entirely disagree with you if so.

    The Question Islam and Christianity Can't Answer

    In order to answer this one must understand the differences between how (the Christian God) God is perceived to be and creates verses how humans are perceived to be and create. I'll attempt to clarify below... The Christian God is a creator God. In order to be a creator God that God must...

    I think she meant my reasoning which is based on probability.
