    What is your top-notch argument for the existence of God?

    Varying theologies and religions have diverse concepts of a God. As a theist, what would be your number one argument for the existence of God? Of course the response to this would naturally beg for a definition of what you think God is. Is he a transcended God, is he a man, is he a pantheistic...

    Are Atheism and Morality Incompatible?

    It seems obvious to me that atheists can be (and many are) moral, are good parents, are helpful and cooperative contributors to their society, etc. Some religious people however seem to feel or believe that morality consists principally in following the "will" or dictates of one or more...

    Secular Humanism and Samkhya

    I have been reading and trying to understand the (to me, extremely valid) viewpoints of those that profess to follow the path of secular humanism - pardon me if I inadvertently omit some names but @It Aint Necessarily So and @SkepticThinker as well as perhaps @TagliatelliMonster and...

    Is God proven in Theism, for there is dogma of His Existence?

    To prove something means to demonstrate, that the God agrees with you, as the knowledge of a human is the knowledge, which holds his God. The God of Knowledge. To prove God to God is easy; and so, from the fact that God is proven for theists, and for atheists the God is not debunked, it follows...

    Neither a Theist nor an Atheist Be?

    I stumbled across this statement whilst puttering around teh interwebz. "There is, however, no "not atheist nor theist". Anyone who actively believes there is a god is a theist. Anyone who does not (even if they consider the question "unknowable" or the like), is an atheist. There is not any...

    The Great Architect of the Universe

    Many, by observing nature, see it as extremely complex and orderly. And they use the analogy, that since we do not know of anything in the world that looks designed but isn't designed, then there must be a design behind creation. Also we know that in the real world " nothing comes from nothing"...

    The Main Issues w/ the Kalam Cosmological Argument

    Hello! This is my first post on the forums, and I hope it'll be a good one. For those of you who do not know what the Kalam Cosmological Argument (or the KCA for short) is, here's the argument in its entirety used by theists. 1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause 2. The universe began to...

    What evidence would convince a theist that God doesn't exist?

    There are debates on Gods existence. I believe that a lot of these debates commit the burden of proof fallacy. For example, when a theist opens the debate by saying "I believe God exists, unless you prove he doesn't" and to be fair when an atheist opens by saying "I dont believe God exists...

    To know God/Truth: Both Atheism and Theism seem limited

    When asked about God: Theists claim "I believe in God" Atheist claim "I lack believe in God" Sages remain "Silent" Fact is that Theists don't know about God, else they would have claimed "I know that God exists" ** Fact is that Atheists don't know about God, else they would have claimed "I know...

    Is atheism a belief?

    Atheism could be defined as: A person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. Another way of phrasing it could be one who believes there is no God or gods. I’m good with either definition but not everyone is. Maybe I shouldn’t be either. What is the best definition...

    Questions no one can answer

    I believe in God but sometimes I ask myself these questions: 1. Why is there a God who created everything? Why is there no God and therefore nothing? 2. Why is God good and just and not bad and unjust? 3. Can God the Almighty "destroy" Himself? If not, is he almighty at all? Can God the...

    Why should someone believe?

    I am an atheist. I don't believe in a god. I never really have, since I grew up in a nation where religion has very little power and my family never encouraged any sort of religion in my upbringing. I haven't had a real conversation about beliefs with religious people before and I'd like to...

    Can atheists reconcile with theists?

    This is a somewhat lighthearted attempt to try and find common ground around the fringes of beliefs of both - Turn on the captions if you cannot understand his accent Fair warning - he does not answer the question in a straightforward way - but that is typical of the way he interacts - his goal...

    The complexity of God made simple

    If you haven't checked it out already, you definitely should. This 8-minute video explains the complexity of God in a somewhat simple way. Great for atheists, Jews and all other faiths that find the Godhead confusing. Let me know whether you agree or disagree. God bless you!

    Love and Light: An ethical solution for world homogenity?

    This will be my first post, so please be kind. I am Thomas from Norway. Nice to meet you. I say: If you end suffering, you end most of the sins. Create peace, and a nation will evolve. Into unity? This was always my dream. Can all religions find unity through common humanist ethics of Love and...

    Can explicit atheists ever really understand atheism?

    One thing I've noticed, is that of all non religious we'll say, or rather anti-theists, what not, explicit atheists seem to understand atheism, the least. This has even affected the very way that atheism is defined. Ie, 'Know there is no god or gods' No, you're getting what you think you know...

    Atheism: A non belief isn't oppositional to a belief

    If you think that your atheism is non belief, concerning a belief, then it does not inherently make your non belief, oppositional, to the belief.
