deep thinker Wrote:What is his belief system? (Hint: It's not atheism).Quote:I respect your belief system. But do not assume your belief system is any more logical than a person who believes in a creator. Let us focus on your belief system. Please let me know why you believe that matter has existed forever with no beginning or why you believe that all matter was created from nothing with no creator. I find that atheists are very quick to attack the belief system of others without knowing their own belief system. We were designed by a higher power to question the creation of all matter. We are the only species in the universe with the mental capacity to have faith in a higher power. I don't think that is by chance but by design.
At least we know the difference between a belief system and an opinion on one topic. Theism is also not a 'belief system'. A system has multiple interlocking parts. Athests and theists have belief systems, but those systems aren't atheism or theism.
We have no way of knowing that we are the only species in the universe with that capacity. It's a baseless assertion. And irrelevant to the question of whether or not the universe was created by a supernatural being.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
