    I am just not going to get on this forum for awhile. You fanatical drug addicts can talk to other people who are NOT going to pay attention and who are going to go to other threads to have meaningful conversations. Your arguments stand refuted and your religion stands condemned to the Fires of Hell where it was born

    I've seen you, you seem fanatical. But that is not an answer to the question asked.Kenosha Kid

    It is not anti-Semitic to say Christianity, Islam, and Judaism are all Satanic.

    When I say Satanic, I say it's an evil system of belief. Evil comes from evil sources

    Then go somewhere else. We like to talk about INTERESTING things on this forum, not Christian crap all the time

    If you want to go back to that. You need a transcendent reason to act good? I don't. The three monotheistic religions of the West are Satanic. A good religion, to give an example, is the Way of Orthodox Unity in Daoism. Gragan-Tiger Mountain in the Jiangxi province and Mount Longhu are there sacred cites. Their Pope is the "Celestial Master. Daodejing and Zhuangzi started this ancient tradition which has over 1200 books in their Bible, which is divided into 3 parts, or "caverns".

    The practical and the theoretical are separate parts of the mind
  • Case against Christianity
    Is it true you can doubt everything? Yes. That is a belief forced by the evidence. You can choose to doubt it. No problem with that. Is it true you doubt? Does it go on forever? Yes, can that be doubt? Yes. It goes on to infinity. Can that be doubted, yes. Are Christians a fanatical cult yes. So you see who has the problem here. Faith (choosing to believe something) has no place in philosophy.
  • Case against Christianity
    There are basic structures in philosophy which can be agreed upon as the basis for further discussion. These can be thought of as axioms, similar to those found in, for example Euclidean geometry.Torus34

    No, everything can be doubted, even non-Euclidean geometry. Why does doubt scare you?

    Is it not a raison d'etre for philosophy to seek and discover the truths, if any, underlying beliefs? If one starts, a proiri, with the belief in a god informing his/her reasoning, where lies truth?Torus34

    Nothing can be prove in philosophy in the sense of a Aristolean deduction. I don't trust Christians philosophical intuition at all

    A step backward would take us to 'Is there a supreme being?Torus34

    Is there a buttery in a cosmic cup drinking cool-aid under a green sun? More probably than there being a God

    But you are right, talking about historical documents will be influenced by whether you believe in God, aliens, or whatever your belief system is..

    And you're not proposing philosophy by saying there is a unified personafied trinity of a God nature somewhere out there?

    Religion is a drug that is usually from an evil force connected to the Satan force. Most religions run amuck and troll the world, it's everywhere. Its not just Judaism

    No it's actually easy. The world allows evil for no reason when a puppy is tortured to death (sorry). Sorry again, but that seems to be the obvious. But it doesn't taint the whole. Evil intent is when a human violates his conscience
  • Case against Christianity


    The Bible is a religious text and so inherently conspiratory. They used it against Rome and won.
  • Animal pain
    If a God exists, presumably an afterlife exists. If an afterlife exists, death and pain as negative experiences are meaningless.Tzeentch

    I thought animals don't have an afterlife?

    You're using two different benchmarks - intentions (to do harm) to decide animals are innocent and consequence (pain), e.g. when one animal kills another, to come to the conclusion that the world is sinful. But if animals are innocent, how can the world be bad? If the world isn't bad then, god's goodness remains intact, right?TheMadFool

    I don't know about hyenas, but some animals are innocent. A bunny is innocent, obviously. So if you beat a bunny to death and he has no afterlife, what good does the pain do the bunny?

    It seems that saying pain is good to creatures would only apply to humans. Maybe we need pain to grow. But how can this apply to animals? If a kitten is innocent, any pain that befalls it must be good for it. But then, how does this situation reflect infinite goodness? If God is perfect, horrible things should not happen in this world. The pain should make sense.

    I never said to read the whole thing. Denying the reality of other people is a sin though. Greed, lust, anger, pride, sloth, gluttony, and envy are sins. Saying other people are a simulation stems from one of those

    That's an immoral position to take, but one the Israelites took in their geocide. Read the Old Testament for details

    Protecting the innocent is not important to your God. He could allow us to choose a sin but prevent us from carrying it out, right?
  • Animal pain
    Anything is possible with the exception of a theistic God. ANYTHING. It doesn't bother me. I live by morals. Your God actualizes everything right? So he actualized child rape, sick avatars that he is huh
  • Animal pain


    It's not about God's mind, but his nature. Reality reflects him yet he can't protect the innocent. That's absurd
  • Animal pain


    Animals feel pain. If reality reflects God's nature and yet innocent animals must feel pain than God's nature is imperfect. Is God not strong enough to protect the innocent? Yes
