I am a theist, what do you think of my proof for God existing?

[LastPoet]

All I see is alot of verbosity but completely void of any logical meaning.

[Whateverist]

Right, the fault is with all of us[/sarcasm]

He gets that a lot, everywhere he posts.

One thing this thread might be good for: If anyone is wavering on the cusp of being a theist or atheist; send them to this thread. I've never seen someone do as good a job of making theism look irrational as the OP.

Irrational and icky.  Eww, who'd want to be like that guy?

Dear atheist colleagues, thanks for your presence and contribution to my thread.


I like to make a confession, this will annoy you, but it is good for us all, namely:

As  I see you to be to all appearances harboring a self-inserted chip into your brain, by which you block your mind from intelligent thinking on truths, facts, logic, and the history of ideas, see if you can comprehend and tell me what you understand of the statement below from yours truly, as follows:

“The default status of things in the totality of reality is existence.”

Yeah, things exist. Thanks for telling me because I didn't know. It doesn't change the fact that all you have is a poorly formulated concept which is being used to connect the dots in your atrocious "logical proof". Why? Because you want it to be there. The only "god" you have is a crusty, old, man made idea which you shoehorn into reality.

If we're Mariosep's atheist colleagues, when do we get paid and by whom?

You've been here since page 1, so that deserves at least 6 figures. 7 tops.

Mariosep is devising a logical proof that the payroll department exists; but given his track record with being accurate, we may need to outsource a contract labor force to handle it.

Good question!  My regular hourly rate is $22.00/hour, but I want time and a half for every post after 4:00 p.m.

And danger pay, too.  Those face-palms hurt like the dickens!

That only applies to things that are in "the totality of reality."  You haven't succeeded in proving that your hypothetical god belongs to that set of entities.  Currently it's in a completely separate circle of the Venn diagram labelled "things that are imaginary until otherwise demonstrated."

This thread will never go anywhere and needs to be abandoned.

I just had a BETTER idea and, if I do say so myself, it is GENIUS!

Instead of abandoning the thread we turn it into a drinking game!  Every time Mariosep responds by simply repeating something he already said we all take a drink!  But if he responds with these EXACT words, "God in concept is first and foremost the creator and operator of the universe and man and everything with a beginning",then we all take three drinks.  Every page of nonsense will all take us all dangerously closer to chronic alcoholism.  The statistics on death from alcohol poisoning would spike alarmingly.  So, yeah, maybe we need to tone it down just a little bit.

Been down the ETOH trail, not going back. Can't I just cut myself?

Fuck no!  You'd bleed out in a day!

Maybe I haven't thought this out very well.  I see now it would likely kill us all...

LMAO! If I wasn't pregnant I would be ALL OVER this idea! I like the way you think! [emoji482]
