The origins of atheism

[Davian]

Yeah, just as well, I don't get a word of what you are saying either.

"Logical fallacy"...is that like a smart error, or a strategic blunder...or something?

Is English your first language?

 

[ScottA]

Soooo, you're in the Philosophy forum, and you don't know what a logical fallacy is? Wow. That's like being in an automotive forum and not knowing what a motor is. Seriously, pick up an actual Philosophy book.

Actually, truth in a philosophy forum, would be like light in darkness.

And, no thanks, I don't care for dark tales.

 

[ScottA]

"Actual" reality, being what you claim it to be? That there actually was a "God" that walked and talked in a garden that has no evidence of having existed, poofed people and animals into existence, and later, in a manner contrary to the modern understanding of genetics, populated the planet with a tiny group of individuals and animals that survived a global flood in an unbuildable boat, a flood that killed the dinosaurs in a manner that only *appears* to be 65 million years ago, because the Earth is really only somehow 6000 years old, yet remains, by every objective measure to date indistinguishable from nothing?

Is that what I am supposed to wake up to?

No, that's all part of the dream.

 

[DogmaHunter]

As long as we are repeating...that just means you are convinced by the dream (the illusion) of a world which is not what it seems.

Declaring it a dream and illusion, doesn't make it so.

I just answered life's biggest question: What is life all about?

Wauw... Have you informed the rest of the world? Why isn't that front page news?

...and you just reverted back to your dream state.

Did you really think you would convince me by making bare claims and preaching your religious beliefs?
Did you really think I would accept your claims at face value?
Did you really think you'ld convince me with a few bare statements?
Just how naive and gullible do you think I am?

 

[ScottA]

So you have "transcended". Now what? Anything different? Do you still have to eat and breathe? Brush your teeth? Or does it just make you post more unevidenced religious claims?

If you were serious, I would answer seriously. But you make it obvious that you are not.

Going back to sleep doesn't make a dream a reality either

But, yes, we have informed the world. It's not front page news...although it should be. But we do have the #1 Best Selling Book of all time!

I just think you must be awful tired...since you are sleeping through the reality of life.

 

[Davian]

No, that's all part of the dream.

"God" is part of the dream? Where have you gone off to now?

 

[ScottA]

Goodnight sleeping heads!

 

[Davian]

If you were serious, I would answer seriously. But you make it obvious that you are not.

It is true, I do not take you seriously.

 

[ScottA]

"God" is part of the dream? Where have you gone off to now?

God is a character in a book in your dream. Nighty night!

 

[Davian]

The argument from popularity is fallacy. Look up "fallacy" here: link

 

[Davian]

God is a character in a book in your dream. Nighty night!

God is a character in a book in reality. We can agree on that.

Do you have anything productive to say? Or are you just going to continue repeating your faith based claims?

 

[As I was saying]

And you continue to post absurd comments...
We were talking about what negative claims are.

Your posts have nothing whatsoever to do with the points that were being discussed.

Then neither does yours.

 

[Ana the Ist]

I thought it was rather apropos for someone who jabs at intellectual honesty at every turn. It's just the honest truth. How would you recommend putting someone in their place, when it is the truth?

You know...

If it is indeed the truth, it tends to put people into their place all by itself...without any need to personally attack someone.

 

[Colter]

This same bible claims that the human heart is incredibly wicked, even beyond comprehension so all humans would be atheists and atheism would be the starting point of all humans.

But 97% of the academy of sciences are atheist, it seems to be that the fool has said in his heart their must be a god

That is why we say that science, atheistic science, has a decidedly atheist agenda.

 

[Colter]

Yes they are christening atheists and no it doesn't change a thing. Atheism isn't a malady to warrant the word cure.

Atheism is a spiritual sickness, it eventuates in eternal death.

 

[Archaeopteryx]

My gosh, is this a freaking Easter egg hunt???? ask the question!!!! I do not remember!

Here is the question from this thread.

 

[Freodin]

I think it is quite interesting that we here have ScottA and colter in the same thread, both promoting their claims of "truth" to the atheists... but manage to evade the elephant in the room: they both promote a contradicting truth.

But somehow it is the atheists fault when they cannot accept either as correct.

 

[Colter]

Here is the question from this thread.

Ok Arch I searched for a while trying to find the beginning of the discussion you are referring to but could not. Will you pose the question again or direct me to the beginning of the A vrs B" stuff? thanks.
