The claim that God's existence is compatible with antinatalism does not assume that God exists. Obviously. — Bartricks
I then argued that God's existence, combined with the nature of the world we live in, positively implies the truth of antinatalism. — Bartricks
No though. I'm well paid.
— Bartricks
So, am I. — Sir2u
Anyway, you're still not addressing anything in the OP. — Bartricks
It seems you agree that God's existence is indeed compatible with antinatalism — Bartricks
Yes, well people are very generous aren't they? — Bartricks
I guess you did not read where I said there was nothing there worth addressing. — Sir2u
Funny you should mention that. My job is one of the reasons why I am bother to post here. — Sir2u
I am actually a teacher, I teach people to explain things to other people. — Sir2u
AND I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE THAT SOMEONE ELSE FUCKED UP THEIR JOB WHEN THEY TAUGHT YOU. — Sir2u
I have never had a student as screwed up as you. — Sir2u
Back to the OP: do you think omnipotence involves having created everything?
— Bartricks
No. — Sir2u
You don't need a teaching qualification to teach at a university. — Bartricks
Well that's false. The arguments I have made show that God's existence implies antinatalism. — Bartricks
You're job is to derail discussions? — Bartricks
Like everything else you have said, I find that highly implausible. — Bartricks
Glad to see you're acknowledging you're bad at your job. — Bartricks
But nobody taught me to teach. You don't need a teaching qualification to teach at a university. — Bartricks
You don't need a teaching qualification to teach at a university. — Bartricks
They're called 'pupils' at your level, not 'students'. — Bartricks
Anyway, we're getting distracted by your pathetic attempts to insult me. — Bartricks
One of my points was that God's existence is compatible with antinatalism. — Bartricks
So, you think that omnipotence is compatible with not having created everything. — Bartricks
Yet you are now insisting that God's existence is not compatible with antinatalism. — Bartricks
So on what basis do you believe that? — Bartricks
Do you think that the combination of omnipotence and omnibenevolence entails that the being possessed of such features will have created us? — Bartricks
How? — Bartricks
By hypothesis antinatalism is correct — Bartricks
for the question is whether God's existence is compatible with it - and thus being omnibenevolent would involve 'not' creating people — Bartricks
That's why the only basis upon which one could maintain that antinatalism and God are incompatible is if one thought that omnipotence (or omniscience) required having created everything. — Bartricks
And I am not talking about whether they are true. I am talking about their compatibility! — Bartricks
Can't quote as on mobile. — Bartricks
Third paragraph - I don't know what you're talking about. — Bartricks
Like everything else you have said, I find that highly implausible. — Bartricks
My view that God demonstrably exists, and my view that if God exists then everything that happens to us is deserved, are distinct views. — Bartricks
This thread is about the compatibility of God and antinatalism and whether God's existence would positively imply antinatalism. — Bartricks
and I am full of humor. — Bartricks
Torturers deserve to be tortured. Wrong to torture them though. — Bartricks
First - if you deserve something, it doesn't follow that it is permissible to give it to you. — Bartricks
Rapists deserve to be taped. — Bartricks
Simple point, well understood for millennia. You might want to learn it. — Bartricks
As a result it does not follow from us all deserving everything that happens to us that we are permitted to a anything to anyone. — Bartricks
Now, that's not relevant to this debate. So do try and focus. — Bartricks
And why are you bring him into this. He would be a useless waste of time as well if humans snuffed themselves out.Christ. — Bartricks
But I'm your philosophy teacher. — Bartricks
And we don't do philosophy by looking up words in the dictionary. — Bartricks
Exactly what desert involves is a matter of debate. But no one thinks it means 'is right to give it to', — Bartricks
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
