So people who don't believe in god, but are nice to other people, believe in god?

I even doubled the reference to one reason. There are a multitude of others, but nope, even with a double reinforcement you still point it out.

No, my quarrel is that they do it in the first place. I do not think anyone should attempt to convert. If people like a religion, they should make their own mind up, not have others filling their heads with propaganda. Hitler did it, lots of religions do it, in fact that was one of the reasons i...

Ok, so, Imagine you have never heard of... hmm... lets say Politics. I am left wing, so I come over to you, and tell you all the wonderful things of the left wing of politics, what is stood for, and what is argued for. I tell you nothing of the existence of any other political parties. This...

Going to bed. Will argue more tomorrow <3

Conversions are not made through any kind of holy activity. The vast majority are made with either the possibility of hope, which humans follow because of the fear that nothing exists after death. Religion offers redemption. Or made through trickery, lets not deny it. (I do not suggest that all...

The only thing one can be assured of its existence is ideas. As stated I do not believe this, but the only logically proved and undeniable facet of existence is that of ideas, as you might not exist to think that you exist, but ideas must exist that believe they you exist. Once again, I...

Seeing as I follow empiricism, Yes. So you just assume catholicism is correct then?

Empiricism teaches that one cannot even be certain of anything actually, meaning existence is a derived conclusion, not a fundamental one. I'm not declaring myself a solipsist, I BELIEVE that I exist, but one can never be absolutely certain of the existence of nonexistence of anything.

Don't leap to conclusions. I'm 17 and therefore still at college. It is 1 of my 4 A Levels. I'm going into computer science @ university, one of the widest fields in existence.

And actually. Higgs Bosun. Don't you keep track of current events? We have literally ensured that laws of physics DO exist. There is no room for argument. Sorry.

Did i mention the creation of energy? No. I'm not stupid. Energy is literally un-creatable. I'm referring to the fact that we know things about it. Why ressurect things and twist them? It's irrelavent to the current point.

And the enormity of evidence against it. I refer you back to the posts on substance dualism.

The heart is a metaphor in that sense, nothing more. All emotions stem from chemical signals and neurons in the brain, not from a literal "heart". It is a nice metaphor, but still just a metaphor.

Higgs boson: scientists 99.999% sure 'God Particle' has been found - Telegraph ^ this basically proves physics as we know it is right, nothing to do with whether god exists or not, but its fairly interesting.
