logic proves your god doesn't exist.

I know this is going to offend a lot of people here, but keep in mind it is pure logic so the truth is the truth. All i ask is that you be respectful and open your mind to reason, that also means avoid namecalling or insults (which a logical fallacy known as ad hominem).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

With that out of the way, here is logical proof (facts) that your god doesn't exist.

1. If this god of yours exists, why would he allow evil such as cancer or the holocaust? He is powerful enough to stop it, yet doesn't? Makes no sense.

2. If this god of yours exists, who caused god? How can you believe that god caused all of this, yet say that nothing caused god? It is unlogical. Again makes no sense.

3. If this god of yours exists, and if this oppresser in the sky really wants to "save" me, he could easily prove to me he exists. He could easily spell his name in the stars or perform a miracle. Yet he doesn't. Yet again makes no sense.

ran out of room so here is the rest continued:

***Note I am using "he" just to type fast, not tryin to assume this fictional sky daddy is actually a male***

Now in case any of the sky worshiping christians here try to say I am a sinner, let me teach you something since you clearly don't have a clue. I was born and raised christian. I went to church all my life.

I sincerely believed in jesus and accepted him. So don't tell me I'm not open to other beliefs. I WAS a former christian. I believed I knew the truth. i studied jesus night and day. but guess what? It was when I read this supposed "holy" book itself that I decided to become an atheist. Most christians haven't even read the bible, but I read the whole thing by the time i was 16.

I know the bible like the back of my hand so you can't pull your usual lies on me. and guess what? it is a book of fiction. you got people saying we came from talking snakes in a garden. guess what? that's called a FAIRY TALE.

and this so called "jesus" character is based on myths, which we now know are total bunk. this idiot didn't even exist.

so when my friends say that 4chan became christian, if yal actually believe these fairy stories, let me tell you as a former christian you need to learn some science and logic.

until then you iron age goat idiots dont deserve respect and should not be surprised by that.

Firstly I'm assuming you're talking about the Christian God.
>If this god of yours exists, why would he allow evil such as cancer or the holocaust? He is powerful enough to stop it, yet doesn't? Makes no sense.
Evil exists because humans allow it, because we sin. The wages of sin is death, and death comes in many forms. God will stop it, but when he does it will mean the destruction of many. He's patient and waiting for people to come to him, giving us time to repent. His only other choices are to kill us all and start over, or take away our free will and make us good. Instead he chose to offer us a chance to follow his will, or be cut off from him forever.
> If this god of yours exists, who caused god? How can you believe that god caused all of this, yet say that nothing caused god? It is unlogical. Again makes no sense.
Nothing caused God because God exists outside of time. This is the nature of eternity. There is no past, present, or future, it is all there "at once" so to speak.
>If this god of yours exists, and if this oppresser in the sky really wants to "save" me, he could easily prove to me he exists. He could easily spell his name in the stars or perform a miracle. Yet he doesn't. Yet again makes no sense.
He's sent innumerable signs to you to lead you towards him, if only you opened your heart and had eyes to see and ears to hear. Genuine conversion requires genuine interest. It takes a strong person to admit that they need help.

>you got people saying we came from talking snakes in a garden
I'd say that they are way off track. The Bible says that we are made by God, in his image. The serpent in the garden could've been a literal serpent, or a metaphor or symbol. Whatever it may have been, the imagery fits well with the rest of scripture, and the enmity of the seed of the serpent versus the seed of the woman.
>and this so called "jesus" character is based on myths, which we now know are total bunk
The existence of Jesus of Nazareth is not a subject most people disagree with. It's probably the most difficult thing to try and disprove about the New Testament. There are secular historical accounts of his existence, including Josephus and other authors of the time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus#Christ_myth_theory

i can tell you for a fact that i am open minded. i read the entire bible several times, much more than most christians. i am involved in charity work as well. so there goes your stereotype of "evil atheists."

Asking what created God is a category error. Once you ask about some thing that is created you are no longer asking about god but a creature.

Evil exists in the world because of sin. While the holocaust killed millions of people, it also brought about the creation of Israel, a new Jewish homeland thousands of years after the last one was destroyed. World War 2 killed millions, but the world has enjoyed relative peace since then and there are now billions of more people alive than there ever were before the war.

You talk about logic as if it is something that exists in nature, that there is some real "truth" to logic but that is not the case. If you want to say that something that exists only in the minds of human beings also really exist in the natural world, you are basically actualizong the creative act of god's own mind in the material world. Good luck proving that scientifically

One of the many amazing prophecies of Jesus Christ from the Old Testament is that of verse 1 from Psalm 22:

>"O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me?"

Many people have said, "Jesus said God has forsaken him on the cross, how could he be the Messiah?"
Jesus was invoking Psalm 22 on the cross. The Psalm was wrote around 1,000 years before Christ was born.

This is significant because a few verses later in the same Psalm it says this:

>"They have pierced my hands and feet."

Some renderings have it;

>"they have torn holes in my hands and my feet"

Strange. It would appear that Jesus Christ invoked a Psalm wrote 1,000 years before He was born that seemed to tell of His very unique death, crucifixion; which did not even exist at the time Psalm 22 was wrote.

Psalm 22 goes on to say:

>"They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots."

This is another strange coincidence. It is known that the Roman soldiers gambled, or "cast lots" on Christ's garments as He was being crucified. If Christ was utterly out of His depths and defeated; why does this Psalm--that was invoked as He was in unimaginable pain--foretell of exact circumstances of the very death He was experiencing? Circumstances that no one could have known?

Not only this, Psalm 22 ends by foretelling the great rise of Christendom, which was achieved based on the very death that Christ Himself was experiencing, that the Psalm undeniably addresses:

>"All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight."

Remember, at the time of Christ, only one tribe was expecting a Messiah. This Psalm called forth by Christ on the cross predicts His death to an exactitude, and it just happens to predict the unprecedented worldwide conversion based on this death.

How do atheists explain this away?
>>
>>134840817
religion is based on irrational belief with small bits of """Evidence""" such as Jesus being a historical figure however none of his miracles can be proved, just like Muhammad is also a historical figure with people who wrote about his travels but none of his miracles can also be proved just like. That along with pseudo science. (If you can't explain what happened before the big bang it was obviously my very specific God). It's belief in the irrational your not meant to look for evidence proving God your meant to look inside your feelings and your "soul" to know or not.

That's why people say they believe in God because the definition of believe is to accept that (something) is true, especially without proof.

1. Holocaust didn't happen. Even if it did, free will means that actions have consequences.

2. Causality applies only the the physical, and not the metaphysical.

3. If you want God to be some sort of dancing monkey for your amusement, you don't seem to have figured out the power differential between you.

In Christianity that's a pretty grave mistake. Christians are not just to have faith, but answers as to why they believe. We know that God is who he says he is through Biblical prophecy, the repetition and prediction of events before they happen. This proves to us that the works that these prophecies are written in are divinely inspired and the source is from outside of time. See >>134841500
for one example of hundreds.

Nice try. As if an "atheist" (you are obv a christian) would bother defending god belief. if there are any holes in my logical refutations
then i am willing to consider them. but as of now nobody has been able to address them.

btw i am not being condesending, when i have reason to respect god believers i will. so far i do not. they are unwilling to use logic or science, so in my book they are not to be taken seriously.

2. you don't even make any sense. it is obv not "my" god, so it is correct to say that this imaginary creature is theirs.

3. again this makes no sense. let me know when you have a real rebuttal. there is no proof of "testing" since there has been no proof of god yet. again if god exists, he wouldn't be allowing this evil. you can't just say "he's testing us" because that assumes he exists. please for the love of god (haha! pun intended) learn some logic and science.

4. that is why it makes no sense. they say eveyrthing else has a cause but god doesn't have to have one? why the double standard? the notion is utterly irrational.

5. again you assume he wants to test us. this god of yours seems to be an odd creature. why test us if he wants us to love him? loving parents do not put their children through tests. they do not leave their children alone to fend for themselves. yet this is what this supposed sky daddy does.

see how christians just keep adding more illogical absurd notions instead of using science and logic. very typical.

also, you're an idiot to think that something temporal can be seen as evil by someone omnipotent. God knows you'll be ok if you get cancer, because so much more awaits us later. It's literally a nothingburger from the perspective of someone with knowledge that we don't possess. Any "why is evil allowed on earth" theories come from a place of pride and ignorance.

It's well accepted by modern Christians that God caused the Big Bang. It was first devised by Catholic Priest and Physcist George's Lemitre you understand.

Fedoras of the day hated the idea, because it points to the idea of a creator. All the cool atheists back then thought the universe was eternal. They had maths 'proving' it and everything. But then they realised LeMotre was right, and have spent the last 50 years trying to show how a Big Bang can happen without a creator. They gave up in the end as said 'well it's impossible to know how it happened, but we know what happened 0.0000002 seconds AFTER, so obviously it doesn't matter how it happened'

Can you see the irony?

Not 100%

However there's a lot more evidence to support it, Background radiation/Universe continuing to expand etc. Your using the logic of if you can't 100% prove the big bang then it was obviously my iron age people who wrote about Jesus 100 years after his accession (Or death). Instead of a number of other almost infinite possibility's stretching from Zeus being real to your acutally an Alien having the worlds most insane drug trip

We should be taking the most logical path if we're working out the universe. Otherwise I'll just pull the your in a simulation in which some people are programmed to believe in god and this is a scientific test to see an evolution of a purely ai universe .

Wew i bet you are very young since your arguments aren't so logic as you claim.

1) Because we have free will and this life means nothing, it's only a mere test to check who we really are.

2)Every action has its reason, but something had to be first, if something created God, then what created this "something"? It's illogical to claim that everything has been created by some power, it's infinite chain of actions and reactions.

3)You have to be good man because you want to, not because you are afraid. God won't punish you for your sins in your lifetime nor reward you for good actions, because our free will would mean nothing.
>>
note how nobody has been able to address the logical refutations of god.

they all resort to bashing us over the head with their bible verses and calling us names. this is why atheism keeps growing so fast. people are sick of being told they have to worship a fairy tale.


another logical refutation which i didn't even mention yet: so you claim this god of yours all-powerful, yes? then can this supposed god of yours create a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it? if he can, then he is not all powerful. if he cannot, then he is also not powerful.

thus we see this mythical creature you cling to cannot be "all powerful" -- it is an absurd and irrational notion .

people please, just read a little bit of science and logic and educate yourselves. we are living in the age of computers and technology. what use have we of a sky creature? it is flatly contradictory.

hopefully someday humanity wakes up and stops believing this nonsense. the logic is there for you, all you need to do is use your brain.

we have the ability to reason and the mind is a wonderful thing. use it!! that is all a freethinker asks you people to do.

>shit, physics could change on a dime under different atmospheric/chemical conditions.
Yes but until that time we're running off the thought it doesn't. There's no point in saying Gravity doesn't exist because elsewhere some chemical could counteract the forces of gravity therefore God is real.

Time is a dimensional property. God existing outside of time is a way of saying God exists in a higher dimension of existence. He can see all of time without being constricted to it, just as a we as third dimensional beings could interact with the second dimension without existing fully within it.
>father son and holy spirit are each god but are not eachother. There is only one god.
Only logically inconsistent if we view it from our plane of existence. We humans are also three persons (Body, mind, spirit). God has the ability to manifest these aspects of himself how he pleases, where we do not have that control. It's kinda like having three tiles, and in each exist one of our aspects, but we are bound to the bodies experiences. God isn't bound and can move freely.

It's actually not a contradiction. Not all actions are evil when compared to others. If you have just enough antidote for one infected child and there are two infected children and you make the choice randomly on who to give the antidote to, your choice was not evil either way. In this scenario both free will and the absence of evil exist. If God was all powerful the entire universe could be full of these kinds of decisions.

However, it's not entirely relevant because an omnipotent God can, as I said before, bend logic to whatever he desires. As a kind of proof of this let's look at the argument of the First Cause. Now, logically, something cannot come from nothing (as the Christian theologists propose). However, God is the exception. In all kinds of matters God's will can defy logic.

Also keep in mind that it's not entirely without precedent for God to not care about free will. Consider the Pharaoh of Egypt whose heart was made hard when considering to release the Jews. This is a clear interference in the decision making of man.

No they aren't. They are both made up of water molecules. You're changing the statement. Are you saying that jesus is made up of god molecules in the same way that liquid water is made up of H20 molecules?

>A scientist is not a variable within an experiment but can act upon it
Wrong.
If the scientist acts upon it, he is a variable. His own effect must be taken into account. Scientists go to great lengths to try to minimize their own effect on the system. You can't totally remove it though.

>>134843358
>God existing outside of time is a way of saying God exists in a higher dimension of existence.
No. The reason god is timeless is because he is supposed to have existed in absence of time. Before time existed. And then at some point in history, he created the universe for no reason, with no cause. Of course, his action implies there was a time before he acted.

It doesn't make sense to be a timeless being that acts in time. Self contradictory.

If this creature you so desperately cling to actually exists and hears my challenge, why is he so impotent to act? Here I stand a freethinker, in open rebellion to this fabled god. And nothing happens.

You see? Here I am still.

In the beginning of our universe, we are told that there was God, and this beginning is the beginning of our timeline. God, through his means, molded the universe and it's basic elements and rules, and then we are left with a universe in a state in which both the heavens and the Earth exist. I do not see any syllogism here, the words themselves don't contradict the statement. God was in the beginning, it's not like we are told that the earth and heavens were there, then God created them. It's chronologically sound. What do you see that I do not?

Logic explaining God:

In all the universe, there is always an opposite. a duality. In order to have one thing, you must have the opposite to explain it
Example: explaining light without darkness, or good without evil. They must coexist, or not at all

Knowing this, I give you this logical statement

Humans are fallible. We exist and then die; turn to dirt or ash. finite and "imperfect. Agreed?

Humans use language to explain the universe around them. Language is also fallible. I cannot perfectly convey my thought right now to you through language. Agreed?

Now what can explain the universe around us perfectly? Number can explain everything perfect. It can explain shapes perfectly, music perfectly, why atoms are they way they are all the way to the laws of the universe. Agreed?

Now, if there are "imperfect" beings that explain through an "imperfect" language to explain the universe
Then there is a ________ that uses a perfect language to explain the universe

What fits in the blank?

Also, there is a beautiful tedtalk explaining why evil in the world does not equal no benevolent God. You should do some theological research.

It's conjecture, but I stand by that Elohim is a a descriptor of place of residence, such as American or Earthling. it's often used like we would use the term President to denote the president of the U.S.A. despite there being thousands of presidents of all kinds. An elohim is something that exists beyond our dimensional reality, Elohim is the God Head.

>I admit, the scientist was a poor example but Sound is far more fitting and I wish to hear your refutation


Well sound (and more generally, a "wave") is a physical concept that describes the broad motion of particles that are bouncing into each other. It's a description of the pattern of motion that massive particles undertake. The pattern itself doesn't have mass, but the underlying particles do.
So, one way to address this is to say: All particles' motions can be described by a pattern which is itself mass less. And if one adopts the language of saying that the PATTERN of motion is the thing which carries the force, then you contradict yourself (within the model) by implying that the massive PARTICLES are the things which ought to be carrying force. .... Because within the phenomenon of sound moving through space, you still only have particles carrying forces to one another. That's what causes the phenomenon.

I would say that the PATTERN (sound) isn't a physical thing in itself, it's just a description of the general behavior of the physical things.

People don't really believe in God. It's just a crutch. Religion helps people not fear death so much and other things. If Christians actually believed in Heaven they would celebrate when one of their relatives died from a heart attack or cancer. After all, the person allegedly went to Heaven. But Christians act all sad, don't they? They don't say, "WAHOO, my relative went to eternal paradise with God! They are no longer in this prison of the flesh. Let's celebrate!"

You've hit the nail on the head. The energy applied to the matter which creates sound does not have mass but still affects these particles.

But the other implication is that it's not inherently informative to talk about the pattern itself. It's just a shorthand description.

As a Christian, I'll ask the same question I want to ask every Atheist.

Why don't you just kill yourself and get it over with? Without an afterlife to preserve the human consciouness, life is an ultimately meaningless and futile experience that is rendered utterly moot when you die and are unable to recount any of your memories, whether you were the best person in the world or the worst. All that's waiting for you is the unforgiving void of oblivion, no justice, no peace, nothing.

so the truth is the truth

The Truth?
Athietss can't handle the truth.
We are animals
Man is a wild animal living in the wild.
Which means all virtue all morality all culture and your logic comes from that wilderness.
When you step away from that all of it ALL OF IT falls to nothing.
Kant can't keep the wolves from your door lad.
Logic does not move people.
And so when IT ALL FALLS away it is war of all against all.

Get to Church sperg.
Who gives a shit if you found the one true golden rule.
Otherwise everything you hold dear will be torn from you including your logic.
and then people will gather and talk and work shit out. And just make gods again to guide them.
Your whole autist mind quest; nothing and forgotten forever.

I don't mind anyone bashing monotheism, but assuming you understand logic simply because you take up an atheist assumption - which happens to be utterly irrelevant to the field of logic, is utterly offensive to any reasonable person whom is literate in formal logic.

OP helps nothing more than to demonstrate that only retards are atheist.

The statements that follow from the point of claiming to be pure logic are so infuriatingly illeterate that they aren't even intelligible enough to be wrong.

How is it atheists feel at liberty to assume themselves to be the denizens of logic based on an unverifiable meaningless religious position.

It's a question of self-consistency: does G-d have to be held to the standards he applies to his creation ("made in my image"), or even the standards he applies to himself? For example, within the text of the Bible (and many extraneous texts), he is defiend as Love and Justice, incarnate.

But G-d is certainly capable of doing acts that, by human reasoning and logic, could not be possibly justified as 'Love" or "Justice". It is cliche, but how is the act of killing a child with an unpredictable natural disaster (outside the realm of "freedom of choice" often invoked for the presence of suffering in the world) possibly ethical, loving or just?

Well, the theist's response is obvious: human standards of ethics are arbitrary, and seperated by our imperfection from the Divine. G-d himself is the ultimate arbiter for morality and everything, and thus determines what is Ethical, Just or Loving, even if it can't be justified rationally in the human mind.

This, however, raises a disturbing possibility: if the morality and words of G-d are not necessarily understandable to our minds, that means its impossible to actually understand the Bible. When G-d says that Heaven is a realm of infinite joy, that could well mean it is a realm of infinite suffering, with the converse holding true for hell.

If the mind of G-d is incomprehensible and "works in mysterious ways), the total data content of the Bible drops to 0.

Joy is a pretty straightforward concept, as is suffering. If God were to say heaven is filled with joy and hell is suffering when they are actually switched, that would be an outright deception, not misinterpretation.

>we cannot observe beyond the obeservable
I understand that. We can speculate from what we understand, though.

Let us say your existence consisted of observing an object. How would you be able to describe an object, if you had never not seen the object?
How could you describe the absence of the object, if there was no object to exist in the absence at any other point in time?
Like light; how can you illuminate, which means to provide or brighten with light, if there was no other state to brighten from? In order to have any value, there must be another value to define whatever it is being defined. That was my meaning of needing an opposite.
I hope this better explains my meaning

Having only one with the other being immaterial, still proves my point. You are still defining only one "whatever" by having to compare it to something else.

If God did come down to earth you would just think that his power is scientific in origin and that he is mortal like us. What we don't know is if God can come to earth, why would he need to send a son? What if God simply cannot be near us without killing us or blinding us?

One would think that the concept of "love" is somewhat straightforward, and drowning a young girl would not be a loving act towards her. The explanation is that "G-d works in mysterious ways", meaning we can't understand G-d's notions of love, and by extension there's no guarantee of any understanding of his claims.

thus was the confusion and shock and fear and pain in heaven when sin first appeared

and why the Almighty had such difficulty describing it to his linear subjects, all the angels, without demonstrating it, and thus was FORCED to allow the terrible result to be demonstrated

Anti-theist here. You really even shouldn't argue with that Christ-stain about the Big Bang.

You don't have to believe in the Big Bang to be irreligious. He brought it up... because stupid ass religious zealots use their religions to answer life's questions: like how we got here.

My position is that it's unrealistic to expect any of us to know how we got here. We're all likely in our 20s, 30s, or 40s, so can we really be expected to know what happened BILLIONS of years ago?

Fuck no. Don't even engage in Christ-stains when they talk about, "Well where did we come from?"

Everything needs a catalyst for it to happen. So what made the universe explode if there was no time and space for that catalyst to exist within?

All those logical arguments were shit. The first is quickly pushed away by the idea of "God has put us here to challange us" basically be the better man. Second can be applied to the universe. Third is the same idea as the first and can be refuted.

I have a far superior paradoxical argument.

What is two plus two? Anyone who read that question is now forced to give me some form of an answer.

If I ask a question you must answer, whether that be by spoken language or ignoring it. But once I ask a question and you become aware of it your forced to answer me in anyway. If I ask God a question he must answer, if God is all powerful I cannot force him to give an answer, so he must either be not omniscient(not all powerful) or he's not all powerful.

OP you give atheists a bad name and don't get me started on the image.

>one state of perception-of-thing does not depend on its reverse, and vice versa
I agree, but if one state of being was all that existed, without another state (or opposite), not only would you have difficulty describing it, any being, the state would also be nothing, as there was nothing else to define the state in the first place
In math, can you have equation without having an answer? I don't mean that the answer is unknown, but non-existant?
1=1
1+x=2
vs
1=
The latter is illogical.


I disagree. God understood that the apple, or sin, existed, without humans having to understand the opposite. That is why he asked them to not taste the sin that we have today.

Two things: A. this is reliant on the notion that time is real, which is far from a certainty. B.

It's easy. You want to know why? Because you are no different from all those other religions you discredit.

You're Christian, so you think Judaism is a false religion and all its adherents got duped into believing it. You think Islam is a false religion and all its adherents got duped into believing it. You think Buddhism is a false religion and all its adherents got duped into believing it. Etc.

All these billions of intelligent adult human beings got duped into believing false religions, and yet *you*, somehow, chose the correct one.


Hahahahahaha. Nah. You were duped just like the rest of 'em. None of these bullshit stories are true.

That's why I will *always* win against you, and some society is becoming more and more irreligious. It's only a matter of time until these stupid old stories are forgotten once and for all.

Fallacy of false analogy. We now know from science that the world came from the big bang. Have you been living in a cave? We've known this the 60s. As Einstein put it, "what need is there, then, for a god?"

>Also, why do atheists always demand to be spoonfed by God? They claim to be these paragons of deep thought and then post things like OP in which a materialist makes a vain grasp at something deep, only to reveal how utterly handicapped he is in looking into anything beyond what little he is smart enough to observe.

Fallacy of ad hominem. You couldn't resist could you? Your attack on me makes no sense anyway. If this strange god of yours wants to "save" me as you allege he does, then he is free to come down here and make himself known.

He is all powerful, this god of yours, is he not? then lets see him in action. lets see him perform a miracle for me. but he doesn't.

If you know anything of science, you would know that morals evolved. Scientists have known this for decades.

As such, we know morality is relative. Some cultures think x is bad, some cultures think x is good. Pretty obvious.

For you to even say there are "correct" morals reveals your utter lack of education. You need to educate yourself before you jump to conclusions.

I haven't talked about morality at all. It doesn't really have anything to do with religion. Morality is just an agreed upon set of rules for "good" human conduct.

I've mainly talked about stupid old stories that defy a person's common sense.

As I said, if I came to you and said, "A man rose from the dead!" you would think, "Hey that doesn't make sense. I don't believe him."

That little voice inside your head doesn't turn off for religion. You know these stories aren't true.

And, just so I'm not spending too much time arguing with Christ-stains and their nonsense, I'd like to point out a way in which irreligious people have made advancements in modern times: we've made progress in military proselytizing and religious coercion. We're winning the fight, one small step at a time. We can only do so much with so many brain-dead religious zealots in society.

>>134839113

1. Free will. He gave us all the tools we need to fix every problem. We just need to use them. Unfortunately human greed and evil keeps that from happening.

2. God caused himself.

3. God isn't going to do your homework for you. Part of the purpose of life is struggle, suffering, fear and doubt. Passing through the fires to temper your soul. To make you worthy of being with God when you leave this life.

God bless you brother. I hope you find what you're looking for. Best of luck on your journey.

That is illogical. If there is nothing, then there is no point in asserting there is nothing else.
Null set is used to describe a function having no value. It is still a state of being, but a state of being which means no value.

1= is to describe that the 1 can not be described by anything else. 1 cannot equal [null set] because it is not definable. 1 can also not equal 1 because it is not defined.
Thus, 1 must equal something for an equation to make sense, whether it equals 1 or [null set]

So fellow atheist here.

You're a crummy atheist because you're wasting your time on something that's not productive and making atheists look bad.

The only reason to do this is because you have a low self esteem, and want to look superior next to religious people.

Religious people have contributed great things to society. There were and are valid reasons for religion to exist as a transmission of cultural values.

I can find purely secular religions to support many religious positions.

It doesn't advance humanity to focus on what divides us but rather what we have in common.

Religious people want a future for themselves, their children, and their way of life. The internal thought process they use to get there concerns me little but the actions people promote concern me greatly.

Secular leftists will tell us there is no gender and children should be subjected to hormones setting them up for surgery later in life on a whim.

I don't agree with abortion as it is dehumanizing from a purely secular standpoint.

I could go on.

Your ethos of attacking religious people as part of "atheism" is pointless and you need to sort yourself out.

People can come to their own truth in their own way, they don't need you making an offensive case for things to satisfy your ego and need for attention.

>>134839113
i know this is bait but to use logic, an invention within the modern school of academically trained thought, as an argument against religion without even attempting to create a theological discourse in the process is an inherently flawed reproach that only a fool would indulge in the contents of

as such, this argument of yours is representative of the likes of modern intellectuals (which is more of a contradictory term than it is a compliment) that proclaim religion is without merit or meaning simply because, at an incredibly rudimentary observant level of literal observation, the teachings can be refuted

and so, to do such a thing is the very antithesis of intellectualism despite adhering entirely to modern intellectual thought. sadly, many people miss out on the wisdom, guidance, and history that the most important books in the history of mankind can teach us, good and bad

Everything you "know" that you have not done the research to confirm independently, is a complete lie. Everything.

There is no way you can be an atheist and say something so utterly vapid and void of logic.

Sure, if you are talking about wars, slavery, oppression, pestilense, famine, torture, death, and every other form of cruelty (would take too long to list it all), then yes, religious people do indeed bring quite a lot of things.

You need only take one glance at history, or read an actual book to educate yourself, and you would see.

Religion is a man-made system to justify endless war and bloodshed.

Perhaps the one exception would be Buddhism, though that is more of a philosophy, not a religion. (Yes I do meditate from time to time.)

So please, don't come intruding in here and try to claim you're a "real" atheist and start psychoanalyzing people, you pompous weasel.

Every position you listed smacks of religious indoctrination. Abortion is not "dehumanizing" unless you assume that the cells are "human" (which we know from science that they are not). So whatever religious claptrap you are spreading and trying to say is "atheism", it is not going to work.

YOU are the one with low self esteem, if anyone. As a free thinker I choose the side of logic and humanity and rationality. I decide what is right or wrong based on my personal value system, developed by the foundation of absolute and total logic. I choose to think positively and encourage others using my reason and intelligence, giving a breath of fresh air and light in a sea of darkness and superstition. That is who I am.

Unlike your kind, which can only believe what you have been spoon fed by religion. You are the reason this world is such shit.

I do think religions had a purpose in the past. Religions advanced civilizations. Shit, look at Arabs and how they did after Islam. Had a huge fuckin' empire.

There's not really any good reasons to be religious in 2017. That's why a lot of Jews, who created monotheism before Christianity, don't believe in God. Most Jews you meet these days don't believe in God. It's because they're smart and recognize that there is no point.

And you think these people have contributed to society. Well I've got news for you, bud. They haven't. And you are only enabling them.

I was a former christian with years of reading and logic under my belt, and i can garentee you there is not one, never has been, and never will be, shred of actual proof for this invisible sky daddy.

Like I said earlier it would be REAL simple for this mythical sky daddy to come down to earth and prove he exists. If he wants to "save" us so badly, then he would come down here and show himself. If he is all powerful he would show us miracles.

Yet what do we get? Nothing. Not a peep. Gee. I wonder why that could be. Maybe because it doesnt. freaking. exist.

Clearly, we know the answer to that. So what you are interpreting as "religion" is in most cases men who knew they couldn't admit they were atheists.

Galileo and Einstein are prime examples. Can you imagine the consequences if they had admitted they were atheists? Of course they had to act like they believed in a god, and so then religion comes along later and takes credit for their discoveries.

Look around you. Today's leading scientists have formed a consensus (not a theory, but a factual consensus) that there is no god. Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Steven Hawkings, the list goes on forever. All best selling men of high learning.

Now I am not just name dropping here. My point is that true scientists and philosophers have always been atheists. The few who claimed to believe in a god were either paid by the church or were actually atheists trying to protect themselves.

The world is a rough place. Think smart. Don't assume so blindly that religion has done anyhing good, just because you learned that in kindergarten. It's time to grow up and learn.

>That is illogical. If there is nothing, then there is no point in asserting there is nothing else.

which is why we dont do that IN THAT CASE

>1= is to describe that the 1 can not be described by anything else.

nope

>1 cannot equal [null set] because it is not definable.

true, but not because of non-definability

> 1 can also not equal 1

whereas.... it does though

> because it is not defined.

that is an assumed axiom

>Thus, 1 must equal something for an equation to make sense

no rational conclusion can follow from premises that have had their foundations removed

>Wrong. ex nihilo nihil fit. There is no non null hypothesis regarding god. All positions are a matter so faith and all claims are nonfalsifiable and meaningless.

nonfalsifiable yes

meaningless.... subjective :P

>Anything of value must be defined by something else

nope, you do not need and "endless stack of turtles" or some such

you need only "i think, therefore i am" (some say vice versa)

God.

no
that means it is posited to exist

>a collection of stories from many people explaining morals through parables and the relationship between humans and God

A fancy way of saying fairy tale garbage.

Yes we all know you can use clever language to avoid the truth.

Show me ONE reptile that is capable of communicating and influencing humans. Just one.

You can't. Because it is a fairy tale idea.

Show me ONE human that has come back to life. You can't. Because it is a fairy tale idea that never existed.

Show me ONE time this god of yours did anything that we could capture with verifiable photography or independent confirmation. You can't. because it is all based on rumor and lies.

what i am describing, of course, is "the bible".

it is a fictional ancient primitive rambling and has no relevance to modern times. we have a little something called LOGIC now.

It has some worth as literature. Sorta an like old fiction "based on a true story"™.
