    Trusting God(s) Considering Experience

    However good an explanation that might seem, it holds no water unless there is good evidence that it is true. The actual case might be something quite different altogether. What is your evidence?

    Sharing an observation about atheism here on RF

    Not a presupposition, just experience. It works, after all.

    Trusting God(s) Considering Experience

    This question makes no sense to me, its two parts are not related.

    Trusting God(s) Considering Experience

    Argument from ignorance is unimpressive. So is inventing an imaginary friend to plug the gap. Your rhetoric could easily be reworded to show your god as unbelievable.

    Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

    How do you demonstrate that any of this is true?

    Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

    In QM, virtual means having fleeting existence, not lacking reality. Virtual particles are as physical as any others. I find it despicable when mystical types hijack scientific terms to promote their woo.

    What is sin?

    I agree about puritanism. So far as the idea of sin is different from that of crime, I think it is a ploy by clerics to grab power by making people feel guilty. Have you noticed that sins tend to be natural desires that need not be harmful?

    Scripture gives bad behaviors credibility

    Scripture is a tool that villains use to hoodwink the gullible, the vulnerable, the stupid etc. That would at least be more difficult without the imagined authority of scripture.

    Scripture gives bad behaviors credibility

    So, why do the actions of muslim societies not correspond to what you describe? These days, there is plenty of coercion in isla.

    Both.. This is a mere deepity.

    Trusting God(s) Considering Experience

    There must have been an awful lot of undeserving people caught up in the recent hurricanes, tsunamis etc.Just a few moments of reflection should show that what you say is untrue. Bad things do happen to good people all the time and bad ones go unpunished.

    Trusting God(s) Considering Experience

    On the other hand, the universe looks just as one would expect if there were no gods. Your feverish intellectual tapdancing is probably unnecessary.

    What is Consciousness?

    Sure, things are connected. Ever heard of gravity? I don't buy this mystical connectedness, though. Can you show evidence? Things respond due to the properties of the universe, especially forces such as gravity, electromagnetism etc. There is no need for your primitive animism in these times...

    Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

    Let's see some evidence for all this. Without evidence, this is just wild speculation and word salad.

    Is It Wrong To Hate Abrahamic Religion?

    Sure it's acceptable. It's more like a civic duty.

    Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

    Even if consciousness is a state rather than a process, which I dispute, it is still not a substance, so your question about a boundary between it and the universe is still just word salad, like most mystical pronouncements.

    Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

    This makes no sense to me. Please define consciousness.

    Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

    Consciousness is clearly a process, not a substance. Your question is meaningless.

    Richard Dawkins Facepalms at Deepak Chopra

    So your navel-gazing produces this interesting experience. So what? You have still not shown that it is not just all in your own head, that it is not some strange quirk of human psychology. I don't care what the mystic sees. It is what the mystic can demonstrate to be the case that matters. I...

    Is it a fact or not?

    What does science have to do with it, as long as religion has failed to support its claims?
