    If We All Became God?

    I can see my nose quite clearly. Tempted to make a Jewish joke here, but don’t wish to offend anyone.

    If We All Became Atheists?

    As I understand it, in Islamic theology one is Muslim by default. Interesting that your position is essentially the same.

    Welcome to my Speakeasy

    A skeleton walks into a bar. Orders a pint of lager and a mop.

    If We All Became Atheists?

    Well some atheists expend an awful lot of words explaining their position while simultaneously claiming not to hold a position. That doesn’t make much sense to me, but maybe I lack the critical thinking skills which you claim to be master of.

    If We All Became Atheists?

    At the very least, atheism is a label; one which individuals such as yourself assign to themselves. In accepting the label, you state your position. I don’t know why so many atheists have difficulty with that.

    If We All Became Cakes?

    Is a rock a cake?

    If We All Became God?

    The eye does not see itself, does it?

    If We All Became God?

    Because we are, self evidently, human; and our perspective is, self evidently, subjective; while the world we experience is, self evidently, dualistic in nature.

    If We All Became God?

    Humans tend to frame their God-concepts in terms of power, because power and it's outcomes - wealth, status, hierarchy, etc. - are important to (some) humans. Anthropomorphising God might help us form an idea of Him/Her/It, but if God is a mystery beyond human comprehension*, these are likely to...

    Are You A Sincere Palestinian Supporter?

    I don't support Palestine, or Israel. They're not football teams, and I don't pretend to understand the complex history and politics of the region. What I oppose is the indiscriminate murder of innocent people, whether by Hamas, or Hezbollah or the IDF.

    How can we amicably debate?

    Okay. So truth is a quality of a statement, and therefore applies only indirectly to it's referent? What of true love, a true circle, or a true story?

    How can we amicably debate?

    But what is truth, and how will we know it when we see it?

    If We All Became Atheists?

    I think this illustrates a failure of binary logic - it's very rarely the case that that something either is or is not. With the Tetralemma, for any logical proposition there are not two but four possibilities to any proposition P; 1. P is affirmed 2. P is negated 3. Both P and not P 4. Neither...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    A contentious statement, though one with which I wholeheartedly agree. The mind has attributes which are unique to itself, and therefore distinct from those of the brain. This is known as qualitative dualism and imo is irrefutable, but it’s a significant step from there to substance dualism...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    Atheism was effectively the state religion of the USSR, though you are right to observe that the majority of the population rejected that doctrine in private.

    If We All Became Atheists?

    Is this an atheist zoo and/or steakhouse you’ll be visiting, or can anyone go?

    If We All Became Atheists?

    One quality which makes Scandinavian and European societies so appealing is imo, the plurality of belief. If they were uniformly atheist, wouldn’t they be as drearily oppressive as any theocracy? As was the case, for example, in the former Soviet Union?

    If We All Became Atheists?

    If atheism were appealing to the masses, you wouldn’t have to promote it. And if atheism is reasonable, rational and beneficial, and man has no need for God or religion, than God and religion will finally meet the fate Nietzsche declared had already come to pass. Though as things currently...

    If We All Became Atheists?

    Newborn babies are closer to God than adults can ever hope to be, imo. My granddaughter, being a little Angel, certainly is. It’s only as we become older that we become cynical, and blind to the miraculous

    WHAT HAPPENS TO A MARRIAGE IF ONE OF THE COUPLE CONVERTS TO ISLAM?

    Do you love your spouse? If you do, don’t you think God will look kindly on your union?
