    Can You Choose to Believe?

    Eat two pounds of bacon and call me in the morning.

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    If you actually believe the man gained nothing from his followers then you must have an incredibly narrow definition of gain. Have you ever had even 100 people listen to you speak? I assure you that, in and of itself, is elating. It isn't like he was new to religious endeavors when he was...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    And now we are back to the sheep. I didn't say there couldn't be. I said it will never convince me. Thus, God is using an ineffective method of communication. God is not communicating directly with me, and since I have no way to verify if God is communicating through a messenger, then God is...

    Can You Choose to Believe?

    I would say in a lot cases, they really go hand in hand. Accepting one thing denies another and vice versa. We often reject something literally because we believe something counter to it already. By way of example, I've been explaining in another thread that I don't believe in messengers chosen...

    Hello! My name is Doom.

    Is that a euphemism for something naughty? If so, most likely yes. If not, also yes.

    What can an omnipotent being actually risk/sacrifice?

    Omnipotent God should be intimately aware of every tiny speck of pain felt by anything even more so than the one experiencing the pain. Whether this is a detached sort of experience or not would probably be optional but this is a necessary part of both omniscience and omnipresence. Feeling all...

    Can You Choose to Believe?

    Yes. In fact, I would say we often do. Right before we act with less than enough information, which is practically always.

    Hello! My name is Doom.

    It's not, actually. It's James. Some people call me Carlton, though this is somewhat of a professional name. I like long walks from places I am to places I like to be, though not as much as short walks of the same variety. I'm into cars and then (eventually) I get out of them. I play hacky...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Yes, in that sense exactly. That happens to be the topic if discussion in case you hadn't noticed. Eloi and Morlocks. I'd rather be the Morlocks. Color me horrible for that, if you must. Ref: Time Machine You are his peer. Is that what you did? Besides, failure doesn't indicate intention...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Okay, then you should understand very well why those statistics do not cause me to arrive at the conclusion you arrived at, that God communicates through messengers. This will conclude my object lesson on confirmation bias. You (whether you admit it or not) are simply believing what you want and...

    Might makes Right

    So, being curious I might even try something inadvisable 'just to see' how it would turn out. Do you suppose the almighty might forgive such curiosity?

    Aside From Being Self Serving, Can Religious Faith Ever Be Rational?

    Yes, because it also can serve others. Consider a politician who has faith is going to gain support on the strength of their religious faith alone, that is some people refuse to vote for someone who doesn't have religious faith. Clearly this is self serving faith as you say, but it also serves...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Yes, as I said, I don't believe Jesus intended those analogies the way I described them. I was qualifying what a bad analogy is by comparison to my own. You do. Granted, taking your word for it will not be happening. But you are still evidence. So be it. If I am required to rewire my brain...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    You presented it as a list of the only logical possibilities and even rejected my addition to the list. By the way, logic is not empirical. You are drawing a lofty conclusion from that data. Do you think there may be more factors weighing on this issue than these two quoted statistics? I do...

    What is a real God?

    More real than any in a storybook, though they certainly never convinced me (or you I would wager), so they fail in that part of it. Someone believed them so it seems to some degree (however slight) they must have felt as gods, too. That's as 'real' as it gets so far as I can tell. Couple that...

    Challenge for atheists, worship Satan.

    HAHA! My favorite is from the Janenba movie when he karate chops zombies in downtown Tokyo. And who doesn't love his Bob Ross hairdo?

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    Its an excellent analogy. I wasn't talking about Jesus. Jesus calling himself a shepherd was a bad analogy because of what shepherds do. Calling his followers sheep was a bad analogy because sheep are docile, stupid and ultimately doomed. Calling his disciples fishers of men was a bad analogy...

    Questions for Atheists and Agnostics

    I will assume this premise for the purposes of the thread. Its not logical, but I'll assume it anyway. Okay, I can see that #1 assumes the premise. #2 and #3 do not assume the premise. I see no purpose to this list. #1 just reiterates the premise #2 and #3 are contradictory to the premise...
