First, I am a rational scientific man. I accept an idea while being based solely on reason (the same logical reasoning on which my scientific studies are based), so it is out of question for me to believe something based on faith.
Although I believe that I am supposed to be a biological robot which has to follow its preprogrammed various instructions (instincts, stimulated by chemicals), the only free-will I was also given is the ability to oppose any of these instructions whenever I want.
Naturally, if a robot is deigned to defend itself whenever it is attacked, it is not supposed to it to allow its attackers to destroy it while it was given all the means to destroy them first.
Some persons here insist that even 'not resisting evil' is due to the existence of some chemicals (extra preprogrammed instructions) whose role is to cancel the role of some other chemicals (as of survival). Since these persons call themselves atheists, we may say that an atheist is supposed to believe that he is somehow a perfect biological robot made just to serve the world till its End Of Service.
Now, you may ask for example:
What lets you decide not to resist evil?
I am afraid that the answer cannot be understood by robots even they want to.
I mean; Could they believe me that by doing this I simply feel a certain joy (not bounded by time or place), and by resisting evil I just feel I am another robot doing its job?
Please tell me, how many persons agree with me on this reaction other than Jesus (real or a fictional character) whom we heard of on the Gospel.
On the other hand, do I believe it is possible for a non-existent thing be useful in my life?
Of course, I do. Otherwise, I couldn't learn Geometry and Algebra to name a few.
They are based on many abstract non-existing things; as the notion of 'infinity' (parallel straights intersect at infinity) and imaginary numbers (based on the square root of -1).
So, it was natural for me to realize with time that behind the existence of my complex being (my complex robotic nature, in the least) there is a Will. But this belief has no practical information by itself unless I can also discover the nature of this Will.
So, let us suppose one gets a robot whose makers are unknown. How could he have a good idea of its unknown makers (the company which produced it)? As in movies about aliens from space, he starts finding out how it is made and for which reason it is made as well. This is exactly what I did by studying my own structure in order to have a realistic image of my unseen Maker.
Sorry, is it wise to go on while we are in an atheist forum? I have no intension to hurt, in any way, my atheist (also theists) friends here by giving them the impression that I am preaching.
A simple "No I'm going to keep trolling" would have sufficed.
Apparently, you're going to run this into the ground. Your replies are rife with baiting language, I can tell you others here will see through you as well.
Good luck.
I'll keep you in my prayers. RAmen
No one can deny that thinking of 'negative' comments is the easiest way to reply.
The only clear positive info I learnt around here is that, as proven by certain scientists, 'everything' a human does is stimulated by certain chemicals planted in his brain... even when he accepts to fully trust the will of another human.
So, I learnt here that for some members, in the least, humans are brought into life to play some important roles in serving the world till their EOF (End of Service).
Did I miss noticing other positive info?
