    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Oh, @The Hammer. Like you, I consider myself a pagan, but an atheist pagan who reverences (as opposed to worships) nature as the basis of observance, so I feel a certain kinship with you, but this is bad. Do you not see the foolishness in that response? Am I to suppose, then, that the God of the...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Ah, this is tedious… Do you not think, then, (which is more to the point) if YHVH exists, that he desires for humanity to believe that he exists?

    Sure, but despite when it may happen, does it not seem that YHVH desires it?

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Yes, and the same can be said of many other non-visible substances. Electricity…the flow of electrons, for instance, cannot be seen, but I dare anyone who questions its existence to take a grab on a charged naked high power line. Unfortunately, I must agree. I understand the great difficulty in...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Yes, but do you not think that YHVH, as the supposed God of the universe which is above all other gods, would want all people to worship him?

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    I deny that such is the case: Psalm 100 1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. 3 Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Does it seem that this is...

    Beautiful use of metaphor.

    What’s up with the site right now?

    Yes, at least on my iPhone, the Alert linking function has stopped working, and on top of all else, large screen-sized ads have begun to pop up. All of this is very recent.

    I agree except for this. I think that the findings of science have rendered the clearest view of objective reality, as it produces a clearer view of the nature of the material world.

    We are not even dealing with gods, as there are no gods evident. We are dealing with propositions about gods. The rest is semantic claptrap…proof is the provision of evidence.

    I live within my subjective experience, for I can live nowhere else.

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    I have tactile evidence for the existence of air with every breath I take. Sight is merely one of the senses by which I perceive the world and the things in it. @Hammer, why does the notion that one should believe in what one has evidence for and reserve judgment regarding things for which one...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    When the Puritans in old Salem burned women for being “witches”, or when Catholic clergy burned Jews for being Jewish during the inquisition, was that not evil? It is said that Satan is evil, is the religion of the Satanist antithetical to evil? Religion and evil, then, are perhaps not antithetical?

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Well, it is said of YHVH that “he” (anthro again) desires that all worship him and place no other gods before him. Indeed, pertaining to any god that might exist, if that god wanted a relationship with either a particular man or with mankind, then an introduction would seem prerequisite, for how...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    In defense of @Rival’s OP, I think if is suggesting that disbelief may lead to extreme comments or extreme views, not that the disbelief itself is extreme.

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    Just so. The duality represented by physicality and aphysicality would seem to be no barrier to the omnipotent or the transcendant.

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    One would assume, though, that a non-physical God who is omnipotent, as is claimed, might yet manifest itself in some physical manner, as YHVH is claimed to have done regularly in Tanakh. I would be satisfied with a fiery whirlwind, or even with a burning bush which speaks to me…

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    You are not wrong to state, @Rival, that some atheists, particularly those who lapse into the fallacy of antitheism, tend to carry their reasoning beyond the reasonable. If that reaches the point where one begins to deny historical fact, then that seems indicative of a reaction to emotional...

    Too Many Extremes in Disbelief

    The appearance of a god, or any other sensory evidence, would amount to objective evidence.
