Bob the atheist?

[Willamena]

So... ignorance of gods isn't enough, but we don't have to consider any of the gods a person is ignorant of.

Enough for what?

What do you want it to satisfy?

 

[Willamena]

Except that disbelieving in gods wouldn't be like disbelieving in Sasquatch; it would be like disbelieving in cryptozoological creatures generally.

Precisely.

Unless you have an alternative?

So how does one go about rejecting all cryptozoological creatures?

One doesn't.

One rejects only the concepts of characters that they have encountered in their remembered lifetime.

You said "the disbeliever is ignorant and could not be." You then went on to brush off the fact that your disbelievers in gods are ignorant of most gods.

That would require belief, not a decision.

belief is a decision

as we stand from the dust......the angelic will be there....
and they will ask....

what do you believe?
and your response will make all the difference

they might also ask.....
Who told you that!?...............and why did you believe it!?

that response could be dealt with....harshly

What a load of ****.

Bob has been introduced as not knowing there is a choice.

Nice try though.

see my previous post

Bob is a human being with a mind void of unnecessary knowledge and an identity title. . because Bob is that simple and likely would have no need to argue fruitless unknown concepts that other human beings have a necessity to self identify with in fruitless complexity over the Internet.

Bob is wise.

Bob will wake up ....too late

Bob will wake up ....too late

Even taking for granted that you are correct about that... the matter of belief is not related to that.

you did read my previous post?

and understand there can be consequence for declaration
or the lack thereof...................?

 

[Willamena]

The disbeliever is not ignorant and could not be, and the ignorant person is not disbelieving and could not be. To lump them as one concept is contradictory.

You said "the disbeliever is ignorant and could not be." You then went on to brush off the fact that your disbelievers in gods are ignorant of most gods.

Please explain the relevance.

have you considered....Moses meeting God?

God as a concept?....only a concept?

 

[Willamena]

belief is a decision

It could never be.

we stand from the dust......the angelic will be there....
and they will ask....

what do you believe?
and your response will make all the difference

they might also ask.....
Who told you that!?...............and why did you believe it!?

that response could be dealt with....harshly

And if it's you who "told you that"?

 

[Willamena]

have you considered....Moses meeting God?

God as a concept?....only a concept?

And?

 

[Thief]

And?

I was asking you....

care to put your soul at risk?
or perhaps you expect to go only as far as your grave?

I've not considered Moses at all.

Edit: I'm an atheist.

 

[Thief]

Edit: I'm an atheist.

your lack of consideration cannot stand well to someone who has considered

choose.....Moses actually met Someone Greater than himself.....
or Moses held his own power of the ten plagues of Egypt

You're contradicting yourself, that's all.

Only in that you've misquoted me.
