A good argument for God's existence (long but worth it)

I don't know what exactly you mean by being perceived as we are or having an exact value, nor do I know or understand why it is obvious that we have an exact value. All those things are not defined properly and at this point so vague that your proof is completely meaningless to me. Concerning your first sentence though: why would our having an exact value (whatever that means) depend on our being perceived? Why would the existence of perfect judgment prove God?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
Alex K, because it is qualitative and quantitative our value both which are not existing physically (even Atheists will not say their personality is a physical thing but a program of the brain though they believe it is pure produced physically).
That is why it requires perception. Exact value means we have an accurate reality, but I am saying that reality and perception go together. We aren't the accurate perception, we exist beyond our own perception of ourselves. This requires a perfect seer to see us if we have an exact value as that value is derived and created from his perfect judgment.

If I didn't perceive Ann McCarthy as she was she didn't have an exact value. She did have an exact value. Therefore I did perceive here exactly as she was. The only vision that can see her exact value is MY DREAMY EYED DELUSION that a cheerleader would fall in love with me because I wanted her to. MK, you are not a bad guy, but you are simply concocting dreamy eyed language to justify your romance of an ideal utopia, in the same way I wanted cheerleader Ann McCarthy to fall in love with me. Your computer science education is realistic. Your religious idealism isn't. You really sound like I did with Ann, but your obsession is a god. Stop pining after a utopia. Nobody is demanding you ditch your belief by force. But reality isn't a dream. You can do well and do good by facing reality instead of dreaming. Quote:Number 1 rule of doubting, know when to stop doubting. I'll stop doubting when you produce actual evidence and not a shitload of pious blather. So far, you have failed miserably but that just puts you in the same boat as the jesus freaks we have around here. Grow up, people. There is no invisible sky-daddy.

One reason I'm sure about for abandoning Islam, is the attempt to escape the wrong acts inflicted by some of the followers of the same religion. For example; You can guess what kind of feeling something like this might trigger if you know what the truth actually says. x-Muslims are usually displaying a rebound in faith because of such destructive mentalities -like the one in the video-. The doctrines influence such mentality. With every ignorant fatwa, you'll find rebounds. In other words; it's pretty inviting to criticize and oppose. Bullshit is bad; Brian. Especially when it costs lives and destruction. It's medieval Europe allover again. And hey; allergy to it is good allergy if you ask me. I hope that harm stays away. And thank you for you wish; honestly ! Opposing Israel can take two sides in my view: for xenophobic reasons (because it's a majority of Jews), or from respecting the Palestinian ownership of the land. What I mainly concerned about in Israel, is the same thing that makes me concerned about American history, and it's the same thing that makes me concerned about the Arab invasion of Spain in the past. You never invade and send natives homeless. But Israel should not be opposed because they are Jews. But because they cause years of misery to others, and all of it for a blue star on a flag. We are not here to harm others; as far as I believe. But this life is intended to be a place where people might believe or disbelieve. But ignoring all that and go on a xenophobic rampage is only an indication of mental bankruptcy if you ask me. (September 1, 2017 at 3:18 pm)MysticKnight Wrote: Brian you speak for yourself.

Atlass, in my non existent "utopia" that I am not insane to consider a possibility, religion would not exist at all. But that is not the reality our world's population of 7 billion lives in. Yes, you have your science denying fuckface idiots and violent idiots, but so do Christians and Jews. Religion isn't going away. Islam didn't invent delusional people, neither did Christians or Jews, it is our species that values and protects what is local even when that value of that claim is wrong, or cruel. The best the world can do, is sure, weed out those who deny science, or promote violence justified by religion. If Christians and Muslims and Jews want to prove to me they are for peace, they can, I wish they would. But "peace" to most in the world is "peace" where the other is a guest or a subordinate. Funny you should mention the Sun rotating around the earth. There is a clock, I think in Venice Italy built several hundred years ago, displaying that same celestial meme. So stupidity isn't a patent owned by Islam. RE: A good argument for God's existence (long but worth it)

Am I going too far to say that in this case, the OP is an objectively worse person than otherwise, solely because of their faith?
I'm just thinking, all the hippy-dippy shit could be gotten without it, probably tempered better to boot as far as attitude so as to not come off as a less tolerable Ned Flanders, and far less illogical, naive and dishonest on the whole.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
--- There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views. |
