Well, I am sure he will answer for himself, but the determination was made by rather obvious things, I would think. A. Your obviously arrogant personality and B. Your love of scripture. You believe in the bible, yet you are warned to be less like yourself in the bible. You still manage to soldier on, though. Amazing.

Yes, it was your rather unattractive and gloatingly arrogant assumption that prompted me to appeal to that particular snippet.

If you think for a second that a person can live their whole life only believing or disbelieving one single thing, you are deluded. Wait . . .

You obviously don’t know what the word worldview means. If all of your philosophies and your epistemology are a direct result of your atheism (which they have to be) then your worldview is atheism. I am not going to let you redefine the English language for the purpose the discussion.

Quote:You didn't prove shit. "Based off" is very different from "is." Still, even "based off" doesn't apply to atheism.
Wrong, solipsism IS a worldview and it IS one disbelief. Atheism IS a worldview and it is based off of one disbelief.

Like every other deluded bible thumper, you cherry pick the bible and act according to your own whims, bending scripture to suit what you want out of life and what you are willing to do/not do, tell people to do/tell people not to do. Scary really, but you are your own god.

You don’t have an ultimate authority!!!? Then why are we having this discussion, why are you trying to use logic and reasoning if they are not your ultimate authority? How do you know anything? How do you discern anything to be true? You really are small time, you have an ultimate authority I assure you everyone does.

Quote:I made that claim? You're doing that pretending Shell said something she didn't say thing again. It's a good thing most people here know I wouldn't call myself "philosophically knowledgeable" like some self absorbed twit.

If you do not claim to be philosophically knowledgeable then why did you get so butt hurt when I called you philosophically ignorant?

Me placing my trust in scripture and using it as my ultimate authority is not sinful pride, putting your trust in anything else is though, so maybe the verse should have been addressed to you.

From the free dictionary:

Worldview ~ "A collection of beliefs about life and the universe held by an individual or a group."

Who is redefining things again?

My worldview is not based off of atheism. How can you assert that you know more about how I see the world than I do?

RE: Hello.....I have a little problem
Silly, scripture tells him everything he needs to know about you. His bible can read your mind (how about THAT for a miracle eh).
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!

No one said that was where you were being prideful. It was the part back there where you were being a prick and calling me ignorant.

Easy, Stat. Firstly, I don't believe in "sin." Secondly, addressing scripture to me doesn't bother me, so it would have been rather pointless, eh?

Simple, you cannot form your other beliefs about life and the world around you without basing them on your atheism, it is your ultimate worldview just like Christian Theism is mine.

Nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.

Refusing to believe in something does not logically mean it is not applicable to you, Warren Jeffs who was on trial for child rape does not believe in marital child rape but he is still guilty of it.

Still . . . no. Read this carefully. Atheism only applies to theism in my life. It does not apply to how I think people should be treated, how I should treat people, what I think about employment, marriage, hygiene, etc. It doesn't even apply to a significant fraction of my life. I don't base any of the important things on atheism. I'm sorry that you cannot seem to grasp this.

Quote:Nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.

So you have no problem with me calling you an arrogant, trollish liar with a knack for convincing yourself of the absurd?

Quote:Refusing to believe in something does not logically mean it is not applicable to you, Warren Jeffs who was on trial for child rape does not believe in marital child rape but he is still guilty of it.

Way to bring up something entirely irrelevant.
