God as the Centre of Everything
January 28, 2013 at 9:14 pm
God needs to be put before everything. Reason should come from God and not the other way around. Once we put God in the centre, everything becomes clear.This is probably what non-believers lack. They start off presumption without God and that's where all reasoning comes crushing down to earth. I hope the above is clear.

Lets discuss.

Let's not, since you denounce reason.

I live in a relative universe, as such there is no before, or centre.

I don't think a mythical figure should be put before reason.
What do you, Christian, think about the following statement?
Quote:Zeus needs to be put before everything. Reason should come from Zeus and not the other way around. Once we put Zeus in the centre, everything becomes clear. This is probably what non-believers lack. They start off presumption without Zeus and that's where all reasoning comes crushing down to earth. I hope the above is clear.
That's pretty much what I, as an atheist think of your original statement.

Ah, but first asshole you need to produce evidence that this figment of your fucking imagination exists.

You didn't really think you could post something so stupid and not get called on it, did you?

It is not. Are you saying that before I can reason that god exists I must first accept that god exists?

Well, you're going about it backwards there, Christian. Your method opens us up to something called confirmation bias.
