    Agnostic Atheists

    Exactly Pretty much. It means I can’t honestly know that there are no gods since you can’t prove a negative, (See Black Swan fallacy) so I remain open to the possibility. As far as “how absurd”….. The more absurd; the easier it is to discount as not viable. If it’s one of the many, many I’ve...

    YouTube Censoring

    Pardon me for attempting to help you out. I’m not debating you. I merely pointed out that you had on multiple occasions pointed out that key words were being censored. I then tried to see if it were happening where I was (being fully aware that regional and local filtering is a thing) in order...

    YouTube Censoring

    Yet you keep claiming…. I randomly picked one of your examples: I searched “Stephanie Harlowe, Jim Jones”. The top 4 hits were her 4 part series on “Jim Jones and the Jonestown Tragedy” parts 1 through 4 ( about 3-1/2 hours worth combined). I clicked on “CULTS: Jim Jones and the...

    YouTube Censoring

    Same as @Orbit…… I’m in the U.S., when I searched those terms on YouTube I got a multitude of hits. When searching “causes of suicide” it did prioritize a link to a suicide crisis hotline and a warning that the “the following results may be about suicide or self-harm”, but once acknowledged, put...

    Agnostic Atheists

    Yes. If you accept their claim and share their belief. “just an idea in their head.” In other words “is imagined and doesn’t comport with reality”……correct? Yes; They specify their interpretation of what God is… now you understand their belief…. now you make a determination as to whether you...

    Agnostic Atheists

    That is what the chart IS about. Theism/atheism is about one’s belief in a god In this case if by “I don’t call them God” means “I don’t believe they are God” then you are an atheist concerning what they call God; you don’t accept what they call God is a god. As I said: When you say You...

    What's the 'brain' behind natural selection?

    Rather than imagining an animated movie…… Since it’s apparent that you have basically no grasp on what the theory of evolution by natural selection entails; I would recommend reading a book on the subject. Caveat: Make sure it is written by a reputable scientific author, and not by an...

    Atheist

    Again, Explain to me how you see that as “Trying to give some kind of reason based on emotion to try to change the argument”? As opposed to merely making the unfounded claim again. Help me understand. Hint; quoting the bible verse that has nothing to do with my statement doesn’t suffice as...

    Agnostic Atheists

    I’m sorry, but the situations you describe are in fact depicted on the chart. Your Rastafarian friend falls under “theist” as depicted on the chart (the bottom half). Assuming he was certain (claiming to “know”) Halle Seassie was in fact a god, he would fall under “gnostic theist” as depicted...

    A few points

    At what point does this image stop being yellow and become blue? Half way between the bottom right corner and the top left corner, would you say it’s half yellow and half blue? Or would you say it’s something else?

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    In the absolute sense….perhaps so. However, though we might not be able to achieve the absolute ideal, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive to come as close as is possible. Which means being as diligently as possible to recognizing those biases that are common in leading us astray. Relying on...

    Agnostic Atheists

    This is why it can become problematic when relying on definitions. There are often subtle nuances within definitions from different sources, with people gravitating to the definition that better serves their agenda. I find it best to have them clarify what they mean when they use the term and...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    I don’t find it surprising that your interpretation of faith is different than mine. It’s often difficult to discern from within, what is obvious from an objective viewpoint. It is through experience that I have learned to rely on reason to recognize where the limits of reason preclude the...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    I’m not the one who offered up the convoluted rationalization. I merely identified it as such. The problem with faith is that, since it’s not based in reason or evidence. When reason or evidence plainly contradicts what is held by faith, the adherent to that faith is forced to either abandon it...

    Would anyone here really want to live under a theocracy?

    As you saw in the video, several elected representatives and the speaker of the house (who is 3 in succession to the presidency and the most powerful member in the House of Representatives) along with over 50% of republicans are either adherent or sympathetic to Christian Nationalism. So...

    Would anyone here really want to live under a theocracy?

    By this I thought it plain I stipulated the part I was offering for consideration was from the approximately 2 minute and 35 second mark and onwards.

    Would anyone here really want to live under a theocracy?

    This is hypothetical, typically represented in logical syllogism as: if P, then Q . In other words the validity of Q is dependent on the validity of P. Since I was answering the question in the present modern day during my lifetime; Again I live in the present where governments are run by...

    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    Well, let’s examine it. They start of with the presupposition: “We know that God is all good and all loving.” “God is good, and it’s never morally acceptable to intentionally destroy an innocent person” “We also know that God is all good.” Then proceed to coach how to qualify how to...
