    By not having a proof of God's existence should churches NOT have tax exempt status

    We must have taxes because of Artificial Intelligence and Robotic automation. Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Automation are making workers obsolete. Consumers are the new working class. It takes hard work to buy products and services. If we want the economy to move at a fast enough...

    By not having a proof of God's existence should churches NOT have tax exempt status

    I didn't say get rid of churches and religion. Please stick to the topic.

    By not having a proof of God's existence should churches NOT have tax exempt status

    What is my warp? Religion exists to answer 4 great existential questions: 1. Who am I? 2. Why am I here? 3. What does it all mean? 4. What is going to happen to me when I die? Since most people are uncomfortable with not having rock solid answers to these 4 existential questions, they make up...

    What is God's highest priority?

    Lately I've been going down a path of atheism. But I will attempt to answer your question since I have spent a lot of time thinking about the idea of an omnipotent God. Assume for a moment the God we have is a pantheistic type God. Consider the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics...

    By not having a proof of God's existence should churches NOT have tax exempt status

    I think churches should pay taxes. They have become too political and are more like community social clubs. I think churches should lose their tax exempt status because as far as I can tell all religions are just lies. There's no proof for what the churches are selling is actually real. So...

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    Any God, all of them. Should or should not is purely a subjective opinion. In terms of actual results, that is fixing a problem, I have found the only way problems in my life ever get fixed is if I choose to fix it myself. God is just a word. Every person on the planet has a different...

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    So when something happens by coincidence it's God intervening. And when something doesn't happen it's God choosing his long term plan for "reason that they cannot understand." Claiming something is the result of God's action is just a subjective judgment. Everything about God only occurs in...

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    Give me one example of God doing something for humans. And how do you know it was God as the agency of the action?

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    RE: How do you know? I live in the real world. I am evidence based. There is no evidence God intervenes in the affairs of men. Gravity only occurs in one direction. Things never float on your own or defy the laws of physics. So the answer to your question is I only know what I experience...

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    God does not provide any support at all has been my experience. The only way the problems in my life ever get solved is when I do the hard work of solving them myself.

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    The WWII bombing of Dresden is proof God is a non-interventionist.

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    You are lucky the science behind the lens physics is well understood. The funny thing about science is what scientists claim is true can be verified.

    What do you know about God?

    Then by logic, you have no way of knowing the attributes you are declaring actually belong to God.

    Does God not intervening make God irrelevant

    Based on human experiments, and all the unnecessary evil in the world, there is no amount of evil God will not tolerate in order to preserve our free-will. This is the main problem with God. And that is, God doesn't really answer prays very well, if at all. God seems to be completely...

    What "if" you are wrong

    No, it doesn't matter either way. Based on human experiments, there is no amount of evil God will not tolerate in order to preserve our free-will. The main problem with God is God doesn't really answer prays very well. God is always choosing his "long term plan" over short-term intervention...

    What do you know about God?

    All I know is God is just a word. What the word means is irrelevant because the meaning of the word God only exists in people's imaginations. When I hold and apple in my hand I say "apple". I cannot do the same thing with "God". As a result, what is an apple is clearly defined. Whereas each...

    Consumers are the NEW working class

    Artificial Intelligence and Robotic Automation are making workers obsolete. Consumers are the new working class. It takes hard work to buy products and services. If we want the economy to move at a fast enough velocity so everyone's needs are met, people will have to be paid to do the hard work...

    Shifting more towards atheism

    You can't force people to believe what you believe in language. There are facts like the sky is blue. And there are subjective judgments like the sky is beautiful and evidence for the existence of a divine God. What you are saying is a subjective judgment. What I am saying is a fact: the...

    Shifting more towards atheism

    Atheism is not the denial of the existence of God but simply a lack of belief in God. Over the last few years, I've been shifting further to the idea without real physical evidence, then everything that occurs in our thought-space is just fabricated imaginary delusions. And the only thing that...
