    If God exists, how can we reliably know anything about him?

    It seems that its probably impossible to know anything about the mind of God. Personal revelations, right off the bat, are no good because you don't have a basis to assume that: 1. Your experience was real and was from God/wasn't a hallucination. 2. You interpreted your experience correctly...

    How on earth can the Qur'an be considered the perfect book?

    Allah is basically just God so im wondering how that is different from Christianity. Jesus is supposedly God made man, so its still just "allah" or God. Also why not just call him God? Three letters is easier and more sensible than 5. Nonsense, prove it. Like what? How does this address...

    Why do some people think the moral argument is a good one?

    Thank you. But i actually chose to address this argument because it is common and my aim is to demonstrate its weakness. The worst one was only one of the options I put forward; I gave a list of a diverse range of different possible Gods. A perfectly moral God is only one such God and I don't...

    Why do some people think the moral argument is a good one?

    Why does it have to be one or the other? Couldn't there be a quasi morality where there are general morals imposed by God, but he also accepts that certain edge cases like stealing to feed your family is acceptable? Perhaps God has a case by case basis for morality. So some partially objective...

    Why do some people think the moral argument is a good one?

    I didn't say that all religions use this argument, I merely said that this argument is commonly used to justify theism, which is certainly true and doesn't suggest that all religions use this argument. Perhaps you can provide an example? I've never heard of someone being able to, for...

    Why do some people think the moral argument is a good one?

    I don't know whether my moral compass or philosophy is superior. I'm not even sure how superior would be defined in terms of morality. Also superior compared to what? You're being much too vague. if you're saying superior with respect to making the most people comfortable, then there is actual...

    Is God an Alternative Fact?

    " I accept absolute facts over alternative facts. I accept alternative facts over absolute facts. I prefer to remain ignorant of the laws that govern my existence." These questions present a false dilemma. Two of the answers should be that I reject the concept of an absolute fact and I...

    Why do some people think the moral argument is a good one?

    I see the moral argument as one of the weakest and most common arguments used to justify theism. There are several potent critiques that are never addressed sufficiently: 1. Presupposing a God doesn't necessarily mean the God is a moral God. The God may be neutral, evil, have characteristics of...

    Are You Divine?

    Could you be any more vague? You need to define what "Divine Essence" is for this to make any sense. Furthermore, what constitutes divine needs to be clarified.

    Are You Divine?

    You haven't defined "divine", so therefore we don't and can't know how to answer this question. Do you mean supernatural and magical? Because that has no evidence for it so most likely the answer is no.

    Why do people end friendships because of who you voted for?

    Its so weird to me that people would break up friendships or relationships just because that person voted for someone that they don't agree with politically. I honestly think people who would break up friendships over something like that are idiots--do you expect all of your friends to have the...

    If we are the masters of computers then who is God?

    Uhhhh what? Why would God need wifi? He defies space and time so he would have no issues transporting an infinite amount of information in an instant. What are you even asking or trying to debate?

    What is wrong with those people who get tattoos?

    How does this pointless and dumb topic belong in the section for religious debates?

    Why is dogma bad?

    The truth is that dogma based on reality, evidence, and science is good, and dogma based on hearsay, assertions, claims, and "visions" are bad. Arguably there is a scientific dogma that scientists have to subscribe to or else they are not considered scientists by the vast scientific community...

    A "spirit" wolf?

    It symbolizes the fact that your brain generates random imagery and then you try to assign a bunch of nonsense to it in order to explain something that doesn't warrant an explanation.

    God vs Science: Is there a point?

    No it doesn't. I just said we probably can't know anything about him. That includes that we don't know any of his characteristics. What ifs are irrelevant. It seems that its unlikely you could prove that or know that to be true. Why would we assume that it matters? We don't know and we...

    God vs Science: Is there a point?

    Is there a point to asking questions about God period? We can't prove anything about him. We probably can't know anything about him. He's probably incomprehensible to even the smartest possible being in the universe.

    Is the universe chaotic?

    How could anyone even ask or think the universe is ordered? Just look at the asterioid belt or the surface of the sun. Its completely chaotic.

    Logically, agnosticism is the most rational position

    How about statistics? Growing up in an abusive, low income family is more likely to make you a criminal. It doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be a criminal, you could "choose" to be better, but its guaranteed that a large percentage of those kids that were raised under those conditions...

    Logically, agnosticism is the most rational position

    So you have access to special knowledge then. Can you prove to anyone that your special knowledge is valid? How can you determine that your special knowledge of God's existence isn't a delusion, or a deception by Satan, or an alien experiment, or etc? There are so many other equally valid...
