    Do you have any purely logical objections to Divine Command Theory?

    It seems most of the objections people make to Divine Command Theory (DCT) rest completely on its uncomfortable implications. For example, Sam Harris argues that if DCT is true, then if Muslim terrorists have the right god, what they're doing is good, but this is just an appeal to emotion and so...

    Jesus [aspect of God

    So, how can 'g-d', who is all knowing, and is called God, [Lord God,, be not all knowing, and not call Himself God? The answer is that He wouldn't. Spirit Form Jesus, in the Old Testament, is both inherently called God, [Lord God, thusly cannot be the rabbi who says 'my g-d', in the New...

    To what extent was Gautama Buddha a theist or an atheist?

    I don’t believe the Buddha was an atheist but I’m aware many Buddhists, particularly those from a Western background do. If Buddha was a theist why did He have so little to say about theism? Buddhist Teachings emerged within Hinduism about 2 1/2 thousand years ago. The religions of the Indian...

    New Cosmology and Theisms? (Also on Angels and God)

    Before World War I, human understanding of physical cosmology, angels, and God was very limited. Traditional theism, pantheism, and panentheism existed only in relation to the very limited cosmology all around (i.e., nearby cosmic bodies only). A number of key things in physics, theology, and...

    The word and meaning of (A)theist sounds weird to me

    First of all "Atheist" = "A theist", and is the opposite of what they say they are. Of course, that's just a play of words. But as Freud says "What's in a name". Can be coincidence or play of .... God, exist = True 1 + 2 = 3 God, exist = False 1 + 2 = 3 This is like saying...

    Christianity and Schizophrenia. Does it lead there?

    Abstract... Did Christianity lead to schizophrenia? Psychosis, psychology and self reference I think Christianity and theistic religions in general does lead people towards schizophrenia. If a religion where God talks to or some disembodied voices talk to you, such as Angels or whatever, is...

    Theism/ What is the actual definition? /how does this definition translate to usage? /"theistic religions, only accept people who have the same belief as the dictionary definition of 'theism'? /does theism have any actual usage besides a comparison to "atheism"?

    PROBLEM of DARWINIAN EVOLUTION and Secular Science in Universities: Is lost the Reference to the higher authority: the Creator God. As is written, what every unrepentant sinner is a false god with own false "absolute truths" on a matters: "ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Genesis 3:5...

    What is newly being used "false atheism" in God's opinion?

    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...

    Is it the prime example of the "false theist"?

    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 ending of the era of Philosophical thought

    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...

    Is there a single shred of evidence against naturalism?

    Is there any reason other than faith to believe in the soul, god, gods, pretty much any spiritual concept? I used @1137 's thing to make my own thing. It's like hijacking a thread but instead of actually hijacking it we built a very similar thread right next door.

    What are the best arguments in favor of theism and against atheism?

    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...

    Greetings!

    Hello everyone! This is my first account on here. Previously I was involved with other online religious/theology/philosophy discussion websites and groups but have been on a hiatus from the forum format for a few years and decided to try this one. Brief: I was raised by a Protestant mother and...

    Any ideas on why some people lend so much meaning to the Theory of Evolution?

    I have seen people use evolutionary evidence to point out how unlikely it is that living beings were consciously designed. But there are others who seem to actually believe that somehow the "belief in evolution" is a significant component in the very existence of atheism. That does not make a...

    Proof for the existence of the Abrahamic god?

    No anecdotes (personal events) No long commentaries. Use scientific evidence. Preaching is not evidence, but simply restating your claim. No circular logic. (Bible is true because it says so.)
