If God were real, you wouldn’t need a book

[Into the Night]

Nope, it is an irrational claim.

Denial of logic.

 

[Into the Night]

As you and I have discussed before, militant atheists are as emotional and irrational as Bible-thumpers.

There is no such thing as a 'militant atheist'.
There is nothing irrational about Christianity.
You are denying logic again.

 

[Into the Night]

The point is: there is nothing in the real world that verifies the existence of any specific given God. Nothing

There IS evidence of any given god or gods.
There is no proof, and none is possible.

 

[Into the Night]

Well, what would happen as it relates to math, science and technology if all of their existence was wiped from the Earth? Would we eventually rediscover electricity? Medicine? Computers?

Likely not.

 

[Into the Night]

Science and logic.

Science is not a cause.
Logic is not a cause.

Yes, you are irrational if you think the universe can physically pop into existence from nothing.

What makes you think it did?

You are also irrational for thinking animals could have religion.

Nothing irrational here.

Maybe? More blind guesses from you? You are irrational if you think the most likely explanation is that order and design spontaneously comes from inanimate random chance.

Go learn what 'irrational' means.

You still haven't given me your logical argument for why animals might have religion.

Attempted negative proof fallacy.

You didn't explain why it's irrational. You're just howling that it's irrational.

Inversion fallacy.

Howling is not a logical argument.

Void conclusion fallacy.

A logical rational argument doesn't have to be true. It just has to be justified on the basis of it's premises.

Irrational. Paradox. You cannot argue both side of a paradox.

 

[Into the Night]

There’s literally no evidence of the Christian god. Period.

There happens to be quite a bit of evidence.

The Bible.
The Earth.
The Sun, moon, and stars.
The presence of life on Earth.
Our freedom to choose.

Nobody has seen, heard, nor spoken to it, or any god for that matter.

How do you know? You don't get to speak for everyone. Omniscience fallacy.

There’s no evidence that prayers get answered.

There is plenty of evidence of that as well.

There’s no evidence of any afterlife.

There is an inherent belief that death is not final. That itself is evidence.

The Trinity was adopted after a fucking vote at Nicaea. On and on.

No vote was taken to create God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Ghost.

 

[Diesel]

By saying I am irrational and gossiping about me and passing judgement on me with your good buddy, the noted liar and sock puppet GMark.

Yes this thread open to reveal who actually started insulting, and who resorted to four letter curse words and bitch insults.

I don't know gmark.

 

[Uncensored2008]

There is no such thing as a 'militant atheist'.

WRONG. An agnostic thinks there is a god, but cannot describe it. He assumes that such is unknowable.

WRONG. An atheist cares not whether a god or gods exist or not. Science, for example, is atheistic. So is mathematics. So is logic. NONE of them care whether a god or gods exist or not. They simply don't go there.
Atheism is not a religion.

The Church of No God is a fundamentalist style religion.

Nonsense - an Atheist seeks to force all to follow their faith. Atheists demand there is no possibility of any god save themselves.

Well, what would happen as it relates to math, science and technology if all of their existence was wiped from the Earth? Would we eventually rediscover electricity? Medicine? Computers?

The answer is obviously yes.

Correct. Anything not based in fact and evidence would suffer the same fate.

Me either, yet here we are

Science is based on repeatable observations.

The world is made of number, so it's a guarantee that humans would rediscover math. We are literally surrounded by the quantifiable and the countable.

The intellectual foundation of Christianity is based on a historical claim: the life, death and resurrection of the historical person Jesus of Nazareth.

History is different from science and math.
It's not repeatable. It's a unique event

You get rid of Jesus from history, you eliminate Christianity.

This isn't some profound revelation.

 

[Hume]

Why would Darwinian evolution equip us uniquely, out of all the life forms in Earth history, with an affinity for the spiritual and the transcendental?

The spiritual and transcendental mean nothing to me. Just religion words.

 

[Hume]

The human brain is a "pattern matching" machine.

Agree with that.
