He's a deist, that's definition enough to show that most people don't believe in his god. The overwhelming majority of god believers are theists...though, honestly, I think he's confused about what that term means. The god he's been describing is very interactive.
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!

Presuppositional theism.

Saying premise 1 is false is not the same thing as saying that I am saying that God exists just because most people are theists. The former is another matter and the latter is what I was falsely accused of but something I never actually said. I didn't make an Argumentum ad populum fallacy but I was strawmanned so it looked like I was to those who weren't paying attention. Absolutely not attributing any intention and saying that the guy did it on purpose, though. It's starting to seem like what people want is me to give an argument for God's existence. Is that correct? If so, I can do that, but it will take a long time. First I'll have to argue for other things that most people would consider not uncontroversial. Those things would then make arguing for God's existence possible. Without those things it isn't possible ...... hence why so many theists fail so horribly to do it.

That was my whole point. I was being responded to as if I was arguing for God's existence but I wasn't doing that. (June 13, 2020 at 2:38 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Presuppositional theism. Nope. More assumptions laid on me when I haven't given any sort of presuppositional argument for God. Just because I've assumed that God exists during this argument doesn't mean that I have to assume that God exists to make sense of my worldview. Nor does it mean that I think that you have to assume that God exists to make sense of any sort of evidence at all--which is what the presupposionalist says, but what they're really doing is just committing a special pleading fallacy. Just because I haven't given an argument for God's existence doesn't mean I can't. And just because I am assuming God's existence in this argument doesn't mean that I think we have to do that to make sense of any evidence. I don't think that. If God doesn't exist then evidence for things can be made sense of just fine. It would just mean I was wrong about my desim.

Which just makes the deistic deity less believable.

I call people who make presuppositional arguments for a theistic god presuppositional theists.
I know, I know, I'm fucking looney. As to claiming others gods as your own, your worse than the bahai nutters with that shit. They don't believe in your god, and you know that, so just stop.

Like I said, they all believe in an infinite mind. That's what my God is. If you mean that they don't believe in plenty of other stuff that I do about what that infinite mind is like, then sure. But Christians don't agree on everything either and it doesn't stop them being Christians. The point is that they believe in an infinite mind and that's what the God I believe in is. I just interpret the implications of that mind differently and I don't give special pleading to any specific book. RE: Who goes to hell - as far as those pious Bible Christians are concerned?

If I actually gave a propositional argument for God's existence then somebody would actually be able to quote me doing that. They can't do that because I didn't do it. All they can do is quote me saying something that they insist insinuates it or something like that .... but then when we actually look at the literal meaning of what I said it turns out that I was right and that I haven't actually given any propositional arguments for God's existence at all. |
