    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Is this required when you have an opinion on something? Lets look at this example Can people talk to the dead? No matter what your level of intelligence is, when you put everything that you know together, it is highly unlikely that people can talk to the dead. Do you agree? Therefore, its a...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    How do you work out these points of consideration? True, false, unknown. You said that its unknown if people talk to the dead? Isn't it much much much more likely that it's false? So your conclusion should be false but it's unknown? How?

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Depends on what your god can and cannot do? If you say your god can make a person walk on water, then there is no proof of that and highly unlikely because 99.9% of people know this cannot be done and could not have been done. So, what does it mean if your god cannot do that even though you...

    Challenge: I'm willing to convert if.......

    What happened, did you see the 'light' or a miracle of some sort? No, it's for the strong in faith. Because as you say they are tricks, so faith not facts is the only way you can believe Really? Come on, the Bible has lots to do with Christianity and the so called miracles are what makes it...

    Is faith a choice?

    Isn't your faith simply determined by what your parents or guardians believed in or what country or culture you were born into.....well 90% of the time?

    Science is Magic!

    I don't really see what you are trying to say, that science enables us to dare to dream for a better world? Yes science may be have been inspired by the mystical & irrational but what science does, is it turns something that was once considered magic into truth and reality. And it must prove...

    Thanks

    Confession: I am a lowdown sneaky conniving atheist.

    That's what I said, sort of :)

    Zizek believes atheism is ideological

    Sounds interesting. What does this have to do with what an individual believes to be true? (Just trying to understand and learn) And how does this relate to what Daniel Dennett believes consciousness to be?

    Is Science The Top Reason People Abandon Spiritual Pursuits?

    No you are right science can't do everything but it is continually helping us live better lives, so less need for religion. If you want your cancer to be cured you can either pray to god or visit your doctor. Or if your not sure if it's going to rain and spoil your picnic you can go to your...

    Do You Find Ietsism a Likely and/or Plausible Belief?

    The above is confusing. No you made a few statements that require evidence. Yes, because there is already more to the world than the physical. Really, such as? Prove it, please. And I don't even mean that in a transcendent sense. What do you mean, then? To explain the world as a physical...

    Confession: I am a lowdown sneaky conniving atheist.

    The difference could be that Zeus doesn't try and influence todays laws and society unlike other religions.

    Is It Probable That Jesus is On Earth In The Flesh?

    Probable......... I reckon its 10000000000 to 1 or thereabouts Why, because if he did live, it was thousands of years a go and I don't think he can be 'in the flesh' on Earth now Sorry but it sounds ridiculous

    Do You Find Ietsism a Likely and/or Plausible Belief?

    Yes, you could be right but that software is still your brain.

    Do You Find Ietsism a Likely and/or Plausible Belief?

    In general, yes I think so. Don’t you? This is true but at what level, hence the thousands of discussions on this matter

    Do You Find Ietsism a Likely and/or Plausible Belief?

    If it makes people feel better then that’s good but at the end of the day it’s just another imaginary belief that comes from that thing in between your ears

    Do You Find Ietsism a Likely and/or Plausible Belief?

    What evidence to you have for these statements?

    Zizek believes atheism is ideological

    Yes, what you say is correct, as individuals we all have our own levels of reflection and I certainly don’t think that religious people haven’t questioned their own beliefs and grown from it. It’s a hard thing to measure but because religion has to follow more ‘rules’ for want of a better...

    Zizek believes atheism is ideological

    Yes but what are you thoughts on this particular “might be said” You can still have an opinion with this and many other “might be saids”

    Zizek believes atheism is ideological

    Yes, no doubt but it might be said that because religion is bound by a certain set of social values, codes, principles, doctrine or rituals, that is is more limiting than atheism. Or put it another way, does religion narrow your 'thinking'
