I've stumbled across a site which made me aware of the aspects of pantheism and I thought they suited my thoughts quite well, thus I changed my 'religion' stance. I am a pantheist in the sense of awe and wonder that the universe provides to us - mere creatures. I appreciate beauty and I use the word God as a synonym for the worldly beauty that I see. I'm not a fundamentalist, nor do I abide by any religious doctrines or any religious textbooks. If you want to know more about pantheism I would reference: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/pantheism/
And what is wrong with doing the 'if/then thing'? Is that not a form of reasoning? If I say that on the blue carpet there is a dog and you reply by saying that on the green carpet there is no dog therefore on the blue carpet there is no dog, I can simply reply that you must use my original premise and observe the blue carpet to be able to objectively say that there is or is no dog there. As for the article, I'm sorry it's not free, but there's not much I can do about that. I'm sure if you search for cognitive science of religion or philosophy of science on google you can come up with some basic information related to the topic in question.
You're ability to state that you have absolute knowledge of God's non-existence is not probability 1 for the reasons that I posted in my comment prior. Absolute knowledge is not possible to possess, your ability to reasonably state that you assume God does not exist may have a probability of 1, but that's all you have - an assumption based on the best reason you can come up with.
I apologize for my attitude. My naive philosophy has found effective dualities: dual-state identity/zero-state morality. Because this duality balances my dual-state identity, I can achieve parity.
What does this mean? Everything, I'm thinking. Here, I got something for you: Panentheism
It's way better than what your working with. What I'm working with, is simulation. You know, when you read these words; your mind simulates my mind, yeah? By writing and reading these words; by reading the words I have written, the words you have replied, these simulations form.
These simulations stimulate a moral response; a deviation from zero. I know when I do "evil" or "good," "positive" or "negative;" and I am slowly building patterns of response, of my self; of others. I expect to move to a new location soon; where things shall move a little more quickly.
You know tao te ching, yeah? You know YHWH? You know America? Convergence of the emergence. Your signature speaks the wisdom of the tao. My silence has been eleven years. And the inertia of the uncertainty building with the collapse of the American empire shall carry my love to the girl I never met.
And the mind of Gaia shall emerge.
Matriarchy returns, no? The spinning of the globe, the whorl of the heavens, the patterns of sunbeam glimmered through the leaves; and always, always, empty canvas.
The age of the universe is 5.13 x 10 ^61 units of Planck time. Probability predicts a future of infinite possibility based upon mathematical chicanery; the previous number is the limit. And ever since we began, we've been doing it wrong.
When I just "did you wrong" (using the assumption of undercover Christians) I wrote this equivalence: Iam4 = YHWH = i0. That might just be the equation to destabilize the patriarchy; and end the madness. Because of our technology, it may even be possible that there may never again be such madness.
What do I know? The root. 4. 2. 1. Cesium atoms flashing 9 million or billion times a second... YHWH and the endless cycle of 0/1/2/3... that is why it always comes back. We are creatures of 1 (I am) and the 0 (the infinite) terrifies with its unknowablity. We build identity (1/2/3), these words, these diversions, these complaints; because we are programmed from birth to hunt and gather and we never consider - why?
I know why. You are what I must protect myself from. That is logic. That what I consume; is that which I deny you. And when probabilities are used? And when I am is counted in what I got? The unbalance becomes exponential; the end of time is felt, the tipping point is reached, the cascade. The burning of the world in the flame of emergence.
Because I love you, what will I deny you? Because I am zero, what infinity need I fear? If I give you what you need and so too you to I, then why die? You know they say Hitch passed away, today? But Hitch is in my heart and mind, where he always was; his locality simply went non-local.
Think for a moment on this, that in the lives of the world; the hearts and the minds; in one day Hitch is more than 43 years of Johnny Cantor.
Because Life is Identity. In the Void, discreteness does not occur. Seeing - has been deceiving - and we have been feeding the evolutionary fear of our animal with the simulation of the death of Identity... that never occurs.
Extinction as I am, or emergence as We will. That is why, no god need apply. Read the link. Be well.
