I've seen a lot of posts by people who at first glance seem to be completely anti-religion and anti-theist, or at least agnostic atheist, only to find out from their religious bio that they self-identify as Buddhist instead.
I know there is some underlying spirituality in Buddhism, such as...
Howdy! I just thought I’d share some thoughts while they were fresh in my mind.
I’ve been fascinated with religion most of my life but for a long time it was purely academic. I was an atheist after I left Islam and remained as such for quite a while. I would debate people about the existence...
This thread is inspired by this thread that I made exactly two months ago.
I realize now that thread had certain errors to it that I desire to correct with this thread. First, that thread was in Interfaith Discussion, which is fine, but looking back on that thread from the very beginning there...
Every Muslim I know believes in God / Allah. Whether it be through social media or Dawah, they honestly believe the Universe was created by someone. Maybe 3 Muslims I know drink alcohol and don't fast on Ramadan, and 1 eats pork, but they never renounced Islam despite flaunting the rules.
I also...
At the time the Quest was born, no agnostic atheism was founded.
There were only Gnostic Atheists around in USSR.
Such gnostic atheist Bob has a debate with Quest:
Bob: "God does not exist."
Quest: "Why?"
Bob: "There is no evidence for it."
Quest: "Evidence is proof. So, your idea is: "God...
Since only biological females can become pregnant I offered an amendment to limit our federal pregnancy programs to biological females. All 50 Senate democrats voted against it. 2022 AD, Senator Rubio Press.
Atheist, is world becoming a bad place? And if yes, is it a good thing?
upon the earth...
The original source: Spectra of Religion and Magic
Upon my research for theology spectrums I came across an article detailing eight distinct theologies abroad a wide range of differing viewpoints regarding God. This includes: transtheism, atheism, agnosticism, panentheism, pantheism...
Is it impossible for God to exist? If something is impossible, it is possible by a miracle.
Impossible miracles are possible through a miracle. Where did God come from? Miraculously,
He did not come. How can God be good and still have hell and cause the Great Flood?
Miraculously. How can God be...
I had believed in God for 60 years. For the next 10 years I reverted to believing it was some kind of deistic god or higher power, but most certainly this higher power was NOT the Christian pagan god, Yahweh (Yahweh in case you didn't know was a minor Canaanite god in a collection of Canaanite...
The hell of godlessness and madness has no bottom. Hell became double. Will it become triple?
Already tripled. After all, a Christian, saving modern man from the clutches of a multi-layered madness,
[Multiverse of Madness]
must first prove to an atheist that he is a real atheist. Real Atheist...
Many years ago now, there used to be an internet discussion forum attached to the website Parenting, Baby Names, Celebrities, and Royal News | CafeMom.com
One of the sub-forums there was dedicated to discussing Atheism and, though the forum itself now no longer exists, I still have a copy of...
Atheist: "What are the particular processes God used to create world?"
Christian: "There are functions of God in equations. I call
them Virtual Terms. For example, the Newton Gravity F=mM/r^2
comes from the original Einstein Equations G=8Pi T. But they
modified equations to describe Dark...
Items for most people:
nature,
humankind,
angels,
God.
God is needed for us to know how nature came to be.
Items for atheists:
nature.
They do not know how nature came to be, because they have neither God
nor humankind. Humankind does not exist, because it is part of nature.
1. Gnostic Atheist says: "I think, there is no God (because there is no proof of God)."
2. Agnostic Atheist says: "I do not believe, that there is God."
The gnostic atheist does declare Lord nonexistent,
but without a proof of the major claim of atheism.
Atheism : disbelief or lack of belief...
Here are a few statements I've heard basically verbatim from Christian apologists, clustered in groups to show the tensions in their reasoning that I've noticed. If it's not your particular version of your faith, that's fine and I don't want to strawman anyone, but I have heard all of these from...
In the world, theologians counted many thousands of gods. In what sense do "gnostic atheists" say there is no God?
Common opinion: "To be an atheist, it is enough to have a lack of belief in just one of the gods. If you do not believe in 3505 gods, and the other does not believe in 3506 gods...
Thesis: correct interpretation of the Holy Bible needs the correct interpreter.
Proof: The Bible does not interpret itself. Each fact needs interpretation. Bible is one huge fact. For example, there is written in Bible, that God inflicts unimaginable evil on sinners. No! God is not the source...
At its core, this topic boils down what is meant by "evidence."
I define evidence as "Anything that lets us reliably differentiate between ideas that are merely imaginary, and ideas that accurately describe reality."
So, if you propose some method, framework, or argument as evidence, but that...
