    Atheists vs. Theists -- Why Debate is Impossible

    Religions are invented to explain how and why we are here. You have to admit, it's a bit mind-boggling to consider there was one moment where the law of conservation of energy was violated in order to create all the known energy in our universe. At the very least, you can appreciate some...

    Legitimate reasons not to believe in God

    I think a key distinction needs to be made. The word God exists there's no denying the existence of the word God. Does the word God have any meaning outside of people's imaginations is really what you are saying when you say, "There is no proof that God exists." I've been in a lot churches...

    The New Republican Party (NRP) is a consequence of history

    I recently responded to a post on another forum as to why are the American people so agitated. Here is my response. The New Republican Party (NRP) is a consequence of history. Trump is not special. The way you become a leader is you find a parade and step in front of it. You can’t have Hitler...

    There is only one absolute truth

    I've been thinking about my Christian friends and their belief systems. Every belief system is built on a set of axioms. Axioms of a belief system are a set of assumptions which are accepted as being true without any evidence or proof. If someone has an axiom you don't hold as true, then...

    My journey back to atheism

    Thank you for your thoughtful response. And thank you for your warning about falling "into that.". I am an FDR Democrat. I believe no one is above the law and no one is below the law. I stand for everyone has equal rights under the law and no one should experience the law any differently...

    My journey back to atheism

    When I first joined this forum, I was way much more open to deism. But over the last few years and especially since the events of January 6th, I've become much more critical of all forms of superstition and delusional belief systems. When I was in my twenties I participated in the Usenet forum...

    Cosmological argument that is sound.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to argue with your argument. God is not something to be proven but is an accepted premise in most belief systems which include God as a component. It's only people who hold the premise God does not exist which seem to pretend such arguments actually matter and...

    Always remember what to do if you see the Buddha on the road...The mongoose is gone!

    Can this win God-proofs contest?

    I'm not convinced. I used to think there was only one way to define the word God: God is all truth not known by men. If you do not think this is the one true definition of God then you do not know God. But then i got older and discovered how strange the Universe behaves. So I updated my...
