Your own example of the dominos doesn’t seem to present any difference between a world with or without them. Human agency? In a domino determinism? Not really. In a theistic or atheistic panpsychism? Yes. Hopefully we agree on that point. (Yesterday at 5:38 pm)Jal Wrote:(Yesterday at 5:37 pm)Ravenshire Wrote: You didn't make any cogent arguments. You flung some poo at the walls in hopes it would stick. Yep. A tell-tale sign that we've seen/heard all the crap that flows from the religious and find it tedious, if sometimes unintentionally comic. There is rarely anything worthy of rebuttal, and that is especially the case with you.

Actually I formed my views before I ever heard the word panpsychism. But even I were just parroting someone else, not sure why that's such a big deal. If you repeat/ regurgitate atheistic views, does that make you a fraud? I'm really not sure what point you guys are trying to make here. Doesn't seem relevant.

Telltale again. Seems this is par for the course.
Have you considered whether or not gods actually explain human agency?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Actually, I spend about as much time in a year discussing my atheism as you've spent today trying to sell your version of christer insanity, whether it's your sweat-soaked fever dream or someone else's. If it's yours, my condolences. It shows a marked lack of imagination.

Or, did Mr. Rodgers teach you that new word today and get you all excited to use it?

You seem to write as if my posts have tried to convince the atheist reader to accept the Bible. If that's your insinutation it is a strawman intellectually dishonest. I did no such thing. |
