Hello everyone!
It’s nice to be somewhere where there are other Pantheists like me. Where I live, we seem to be an extremely rare “specie”.
I’d like to ask what made you a Pantheist?
Thank you for responding! :)
.
Good answer!
But I’m still not convinced you are an atheist :)
Not philosophically - physically! Nothing touches anything. To explain it simply: what you feel is your energy intertwining with the keyboard’s energy. You are not really touching. Ask any physicist you want to confirm and explain...
:D
I think he is proposing to define god, not finding him. Personally, I do agree that a definition is needed to clear many things up in this discussion.
Thanks! I’ll take a look :)
Yes, I got it. But the problem is that the world around you is not as you think/understand it is. Not to...
Depends on the experience. What did you see? Where did you see it? What was your psychology those days? How about your dreams, hopes, fears those days?... So many details to consider.

Because many atheists come out as the “know-it-all” type. Maybe they are not, but they seem to be. So, they provoke you to make a fuss about what they do not know :)
Depends on the topic. For instance, let’s say that a strong wind blows, drifts a glass of water which falls down and breaks...

Why? Atheism does the same thing.
Quantum physics proved to us that there are many things we do not know, many things we do not understand and many things that act very much differently of the way we know/expect them to.
Therefore, it proves that we should not exclude anything as...
No need for deep knowledge of quantum physics or any physics. The very basics of them are more than enough to make a point in a theo-philosophical discussion :)
I agree :)
Why not?
In a conversation about deities, the practical part is really very limited. It has to be. Or else it’s...
Why?
I sooooo much agree with you!
The word “god” carries so much “weight” that it’s almost impossible to think of it as something else than what it’s “tagged” with.
Personally, I prefer the terms “the One” or “Supreme Entity” or plain “It”... But even if you call it “Tallulah” I’ll be fine...
The “must exist” part is needed only to solve the logical problem that “if the attributes exist, where do they come from?”. Right?
Quantum physics shakes down Newtonian physics.
So no. Physics is not physics.
<<You may believe in anything you choose. The One is not obligated in keeping a...
Therefore you discard certain definitions of “god”... But maybe not all.
As Sunstone already said, it is very difficult for the western mind to grasp the idea of a “god” that is not some sort of an entity. We are programmed this way.
Thankfully, today’s science can help us pass this problem...
I don’t get it…
1) There is no such thing as “supernatural”. As there is nothing “metaphysical”. Everything is natural, everything is physical.
2) “god” remains undeffinible. If you choose to deffine it as something “supernatural”, then of course it doesn’t exist. But what if you don’t…?
3)...
What is “supernatural”?
OK, but you are not an atheist (according to your profile). I’m addressing the question to atheists :)
Yes, that is true.
I just preferred to place it in the second “set” :)
~~~
Do you believe in science?
Do you believe in the existence of the universe?
Well, they are not that different in their core. They both believe that there is a creator/s.
I meant it as in what is that that makes you still sceptical.
Or, if you prefer: what would convince you?
That makes...

Has anyone thought that maybe the afterlife (or lack of it) will be a perfect match to his/hers beliefs?
And if so, can he/she explain why this can be possible?
~~~
~~~
Thought so :D
Why not?
~~~
What is that “bothers” you about the definitions you have heard so far?
~~~
So, basically you do not believe in the Bible... That doesn’t make you an Atheist. You know that, right?
Are we that many? Hahaha...:blush:

Just a friendly question to all Atheists:
Is your belief of God’s non-existence based entirely on how God is perceived by all Monotheistic religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism) and Polytheistic religions (Hinduism, Old religions etc),
or,
it also covers the Pantheistic philosophies of...
