Quote:For the record I'm a philosophical theist. I believe we owe our existence to a Creator. I agree many religious people are very obnoxious. But that wouldn't be reason to believe God doesn't exist. That would only provide a reason not to like obnoxious religious people.Philosophy doesn't mean anything in the grounds of proof. And philosophy doesn't correlate very well with theism
Quote:They use it because it attempts to make an intellectual equivalency between belief in absurd things (that few do believe in) and claim its the same as belief in God. Its really just an insult same as the claim there isn't any evidence in favor of the existence of God.God is absurd
Quote:I have made a case on this very board citing several lines of evidence. Evidence is simply facts the comport with a belief. The reason atheists claim there is no evidence is because they can say belief in theism is just an irrational belief. Its BS.Where is the evidence?
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
