When it comes to person of who we are, it has to have perception, this is so obvious. But you guys won't accept no matter how clear a reminder is of God.

Thing is, none of the things you mentioned require magic or sky magicians...some of them don't exist....and atheists, as a rule, don't believe in said sky magicians in the first place even if a couple might believe in magic.(November 28, 2017 at 3:06 pm)Khemikal Wrote: .........so...is the point of this that you do think this all happens magically and that a sky magician is needed?
I believe an All-Powerful, All-Good, All-Beautiful makes this happen.
So...you only managed, in that response, to caricature yourself. In your frustration..was that your intent, to mock your own beliefs?
Quote:Regardless of what I think of myself or you think of me, something gives me exact inheritance to my actions and perpetuates my identity.Sure, and that something is between your ears, and between the ears of those around you.
Quote:And something maintains the universe and it's laws.That's just a misunderstanding of natural law. They're not like ratty old buildings that need to be painted from time to time..lol. God-as-tenement super?
Quote:It's evident, it's manifest. And the Witness argument is a sound argument and you breathe in it and out every day and rely on it, and believe in it, but then you come out rebelling against it and self-deceiving yourself with respect to it.Except that god is not evident, or manifest, the argument is neither sound nor valid nor an argument, I don't rely on it for anything...I certainly don't believe in it..nor is there any need to engage in self deception or rebellion to reject it.
I mean, other than being wrong about literally everything you just wrote...maybe you're on to something?
