Positive Atheism

[Purple Rabbit]

Here are some things which come to mind for me.

Mythos. God necessatated explaining

Why not simply the other way 'round: the need for explanation necessitated god(s)?

I won't participate in your circular stolen concept logic.

If you don't want to debate, then don't come here to debate. Which concept logic do you mean? I have no clue what you're talking about. Am I asking too much of you if I ask you to consider the possibility that explanation necessitates god(s)?

In our universe cause preempts effect. I have stated elswhere that God is the cause therefore the explaination is the effect.

This is pure contradiction. If in our universe cause preempts effects (which remains to be seen since uncaused effects like virtual particle creation have been shown to exist) and god is the cause than god has to be part of the universe he preempts. This clearly is circular reasoning which you have shown to clearly and utterly abhor. But luckily for you your "stating elsewhere" does not make things true. So you always have the possibility to rephrase your claim.

How could you even use the "God of the Gaps" fallacy without God first having a definition.

I'm not defining any god, just trying to understand what the hack you mean by it. Shall we abolish use of the words god, divine and the like?

That necessated a higher level of morality, defining moral terpitude.

So did we start without any morality? And what exactly would that mean?

Yes. Evolution.

So we started without morality and without morality means evolution? Makes no sense to me. Does evolution prohibit the development of morality in any way? So evolution has stopped now?

I try to stip out as much humanity from the divine as possible. However for reference (since the bibele is used against me a lot) I'll keep those pages in there.

I'm wondering what other shit you keep for reference.

Some parts of christianity has partly followed growing consensus on women's rights, but it is gross revisionistic crap to suggest that christianity has been on the forefront of that.

I wasn't aware we were limiting the conversation to Christianity. I thought the question was contributions of religion. For lack of clarity I'll omit that from the list and replace with ... long standing, strong, self-sustaining communities and site mormonism.

Are you implying that mormonism is on the forefront of women rights? Are Latter Day Saints emancipated? The world must be coming to an end real soon.

I would call it a god of the gaps syndrome. Usually the definition of god is adapted to fit the gaps, not the other way around. If we had an accurate definition first it might be testable to the gaps. A clear case of redefinition by christians of the definition is the following:

First according to christians in the middle ages, the bible is the literal word of god, so in a sense part of the definition of god. In centuries before that time the highest clerical authorities had deduced that this could only mean that the earth was at the center of the universe, but later they had to revamp the definition of god to be able to abandon this and fit god in the gap that was left.
