Do you not know the opinion of God, really? And what does the conscience suggest? Conscience is the voice of God in human.
False atheists say: "There is no True God, there are only idols: the false gods are made by man."
A false atheist is moved by rejection and an allergy to the words "True...
I`m not a ``hardcore`` atheist. I`m a spiritual atheist. I live my life as if there is no God. I do,however, believe that spiritual experiences are real, they just dont involve God. You can call me a pantheist too. I`ll answer all of your questions, shoot!!
Look: the Trump is reading the Bible. Today he is liker wanting to pollute the Earth. But read again, "Trumpy":
"And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to...
The famous astrophysicist and the amateur philosopher the "false atheist" Stephen Hawking has written in his famous book "Grand Design":
Might it was caused by his "false atheism"? The "false atheism" is the denial of Religion, but the False Atheism is not a religion itself? I tend to think...
He begins by discussing works by Dostoevsky, particularly Crime and Punishment. He then calls out Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins 'Radical atheists' on their assumption that humanity can proceed on a purely rational and irreligious basis. Dostoevesky seems to make the point (according to this...
I was just wondering if any of the atheists on here had religious traditions they were partial towards? I can think of a few folks like Richard Dawkins ( church of England) or Sam Harris (Buddhism) who are atheists but still have sort of a soft spot for some traditions. Personally I have a soft...
You every notice that it doesn't take long for a lot of our religious and even non-religious threads to turn into a bunch of people asserting they are right and the other person has a childish view? Sometimes I just look through random threads and can't help but notice how little time it takes...
Calvanism interests me in that it states in TULIP (an ackronym) under Total depravity that my man is free to not sin, but due to self interest and neccesity will sin more times then not and that he is basically destined to do so. This and the concept of predestination interests me.
Also I...
Lets pretend all religions are equally possibly correct. If one goes by nothing but the numbers the chance of you being correct are 1 in 19 if you count the large religions of the world . From there if you add in religious sects and dead religions the chance goes down even lower.
So how do you...
Gen 2:7-8 And Jehovah God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breaths into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becometh a living creature. 8And Jehovah God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He hath formed;
So, in Gen 2:7 it says man became… So what...
I'd just like to point out that just because a certain group can be associated with a horrible event doesn't make everyone involved in said group responsible. For instance just because the Crusades were given legitimacy by the pope doesn't mean everyone in Christendom is responsible or that...
So in my bible reading I was reminded of a few reasons I'm not a super big fan of some of the things Jesus said. OR well just about any of it really.
27 "You have heard that it was said,
'You shall not commit adultery;'
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a
woman to lust after her has...
I've been doing a lot of reading lately. The bible and the arguments for and against the religions that hold it dear. For instance is Jesus the Jewish Messiah? The arguments I've heard from Jewish apologists suggest no and the "arguments" from Christians I've seen say yes. I put arguments in...
Conversation is being held on other threads about absolutes and objective rights and wrongs.
I say rape is inherently bad, not "a societal misdeed" but wrong.
Then I watch as atheists (in error) criticize the Bible for not condemning rape, when it most certainly does (as usual atheists point...
I've been reading through the bible lately. I think part of it Is trying to find faith again as I miss the whole thing. I get very frustrated when I can't seem to find any answers that satisfy and can't honestly seem to come to grips with faith in general.
So i'm just going to ask, what exactly...
Here are a couple of debates I watched recently on youtube so I thought I would put them up here and see what you all thought.
And here is David Wood's video on why he is a Christian.
Is an Atheist Society not a secular society?
Secular means without regard to religious bias.
Please

This thread was conceptualized from Post #932 from our respected friend @Willamena .
What arguments do you believe point to there being a God or gods and why do you think this makes more sense than the idea that there are no gods? I am personally a non-believer but I would greatly like to hear arguments against this position and possibly find a religion that at least makes...
Here's an essay I wrote a few years ago. Sorry its a bit long - but feel free to tear my argument to shreds...
The following partial definitions of atheism and materialism are taken from the American Atheists web pages:
Atheism may be defined as the mental attitude which unreservedly accepts...
