Don't reflect human traits into the description of God or you'll lose the compass; just like an ancient Greek thinking that a "raging storm" is the Olympus Idols having a party. The light from a candle is light, the blinding rays of a supernova are called "light" too. That's not anthropomorphism, that's "describing the phenomena with simple words so the reader understand".

You get that believing god to be like a person is exactly what the term refers to, right? That any believer in a personal and intervening god, any theist....by definition..... cannot help but do thing thing you are here cautioning atheists against. That it's an article of your faith that you're telling us to avoid.....?
So, I guess..mission accomplished? You've convinced me to continue avoiding theism?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What is he waiting for? The answer is simply because there is no all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good god. An all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good god would prevent evil period. Hence, the fact that evil exists is proof that an all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good god does not exist.

Um no, you do what I've seen Christians and Jews do too with their holy writings. You are trying to retrofit modern science to old mythology. You are working backwards. NOBODY in the world back then had any modern scientific understanding like we do today. Nobody in the world back then knew what a photon was. Nobody back then knew what infrared light, or ultra violet light was. Nobody back then knew what radiation was. Nobody back then knew what "redshift" was. Nobody back then knew what the speed of light was. And nobody knew what a supernova was. Observing something doesn't mean you understand in any modern sense what you are observing. All anyone knew back then when they observed a super nova was that it just seemed to be a brighter star. They knew nothing about the makeup of what caused such events. FYI, if you truly believe the ancients actually had any modern knowledge then you should believe in Chinese mythology, because according to wikipedia, Chinese Astronomers were the first to write down their observations in 185CE. And that was long before the invention of the religion of Islam or the first compiled Koran. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of...bservation Very few humans back then knew that the sun was a star, and could tell the difference between a star and a planet. But even then, even those people were limited in their knowledge because they didn't have modern tools of observation.

That reply has fuck all to do with anthropomorphism. Typical. Boru
