Of course not. "95-year-old Li Xiufeng climbed out of her unsealed coffin six days after she'd been found "dead" in her bedroom." http://www.oddee.com/item_98718.aspxHe said to him, "If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead." Luke 16:31
The same can be said of all religions. They all develop in the context of the culture they came from, they all have adherents who can "feel the spirit," and they all come from sacred prophets, priests, and shamans.The bible is a living witness because it was formed in the context of a church that is alive and has not stopped growing since the events the scriptures describe. Moreover the Spirit of God that inspired those texts and who dwells in His church is with us still. All Christians can say they know God and it is the subjective intimacy of that relationship that links us to the objective certainty of the object of our faith.
The Bible also fails. Such as, we know the languages of the world did not come from one central point as many of them developed independently on different parts of the globe.Besides the other religions do not pass muster on close examination.
Atheists don't claim there is no God...
And, once again, hard atheists are not allowed to be atheists.ATHEISTS don't claim gods don't exist. STRONG ATHEISTS do.
That's okay. Physics isn't in the business of governing.We may not have free will and be completely governed by physics that is 100% predictable. We simply aren't at a stage of brain development to consider the vast number of variables.
It doesn't mean you have to wear religious headgear.
Atheism is absurd
There is nothing to discuss
Still this post is breaking the records.
How foolish is this?
Don't feed the troll.Many people do not accept the freedom of others choice and wish to condemn what they do not understand
Basically you make it painfully obvious you have no tolerance towards others beliefs despite not being able to defend your own.
With you? I agree.
Many people have a hard tike grasping knowledge
As foolish as those lacking tolerance and freedom.
And atheism is here.
External to you.
If you cannot physically have access to your book, you cannot connect with your god. There is nothing spiritual about it.
No book. No god.
And atheism is here.
Atheism, Definition And Overview http://jiddanand.blogspot.com/2016/01/atheism-definition-and-overview.html
While I know that what is True.
Did either one of you read that article? It has nothing to do with atheism being absurd, and discussion of lingering ancient Abrahamic practices is a topic that can't easily be dismissed as "rhetoric without credibility."Rhetoric with no credibility
Or it could just be you are seeing what you want to see - it's rather an unusual habit that people have.I have repeatedly said that the people who can not see the creation are blind. Blind in the sense that their vision is confined to the self. Happens!!!
Yes, you have said repeatedly.I have repeatedly said that the people who can not see the creation are blind. Blind in the sense that their vision is confined to the self. Happens!!!
I am convinced. Still I have to work stupidly. "Work is my worship to Almighty".Yes, you have said repeatedly.
In fact, I am wondering why it is you have not convinced yourself of it yet.
It is the same way Joseph Smith conceived the Book of Mormon.First, please leave God aside.
So, how did the guys conceive the Vedas and bring forth the Book? From your POV, they must have had an external book? No? Your view is same as the view of a dreamer believing the dream 'me' and dream 'world' to be separate. To some of us the waking dream is over. We can clearly see that the subject-object division is a sensual artefact.
Actually what we have here is the contraposition of two views based on their respective knowledge/belief systems. First, is the view that all discrete objects are objectively real and separate. The second is the view of sameness, arrived at through certain experiences and contemplations. This view holds that all objects are held in awareness, which cannot be many.
I can here use a simple metaphor to point to this. If waves of an ocean were intelligent, some may cling to the notion that "I am a wave and there are other dangerous waves out there". And some waves may begin to see that they were really different shapes of same water.
"Rain and hail and ice and snow,
Neither like the other. So!
When they melt, however, lo,
See one stream of water flow!

YMMV.
