@KingOfSalt4 @Oleg_A_Condrea Because believing in "god" is essential for believing in an "afterlife". And since most people are afraid of death , the belief in an "afterlife" - even if is believed without any evidence for it - brings a false sense of comfort into people's lives .🤔🤨😏

Would you consider a career in teaching? Young people deserve intelligent, critical thinkers to help them to think critically and carefully about religion and ethics. There’s a free event here 👇

Abraham is trending Abraham supposedly was asked by the author of existence to do the wrong thing he was just following orders he was fixing to follow orders until the very moment he was told to know better & that’s why he’s a hero to Christian believers

@CapturingChrist Why not ? You can still believe that Christians will eventually be able to see some of the light of reason through the darkness of dogmas and doctrine and adjust with the modern times discarding all of those outlandish claims that cannot be NEITHER explained NOT substantiated.🤔

@WriterJohnBuck @Leophilius You cannot SUBSTANTIATE the alleged existence of the supernatural , or the divine or the spiritual in our Universe. You can certainly SUBSTANTIATE the physical existence of physical forces of nature such as electromagnetism or nuclear forces , or material objects in our Universe.

@Leophilius So do you think that a naturalist can be a substance dualist?

I don't know why so many theists think metaphysical naturalists have no conception of the “natural”, outside of them never having read any literature on metaphysical naturalism. “Natural” refers to anything extended through, contained, or consistent within physical reality.

“Funnily enough, [the potsherd] was right there, directly next to the wooden pergola that had been built for the visitors” … Yet another sensational, ancient inscription turns out to be a modern creation. This time - apparently - it’s a teaching prop timesofisrael.com/antiquities-au…

@Baddiel It’s wild how fast people forget that nearly every war over the past 75 years was sold on false pretenses. R.I.P. Dr David Kelly His autopsy records are sealed for 100 years.

@WriterJohnBuck @Leophilius There is NO dualism in nature and consequently in Naturalism too : only physical forces and material objects can be proven to exist in our physical and material Universe. NO supernatural - NO spiritual and NO divine can be SUBSTANTIATED. What you call the spiritual is the Mind.🤓

@WriterJohnBuck @Leophilius There is NOTHING outside of a physical and material brain that can be proven to be the cause and origin of a thinking intelligent mind. Everything you have just twitted comes from a mind which is subjected to the presence of a physical and material substrate: the physical brain.

@Leophilius Pretty easy to figure out: an entity with causal powers over the world, capable of having mental experiences.

@LynBank25442089 @mtnola2023 @ali__samson @Baddiel Two peas in a pod : Volodymir Zelensky and Beppe Grillo of the Five Stars Movement. Two comedians 🤡 clowns by trade turned politicians. The former sees himself as a modern day David slaying the Russian Goliath. Forcing thousands of Ukranian youths to die for an abstract ideal.🤔

All power plants create waste heat that contributes to global warming. The contribution is presently small, but it is bound to increase and eventually it will become a problem. The only thing we an do about it is to build an air condition for the planet. youtube.com/watch?v=9vRtA7…

I was recently asked if I’d be willing to do a lecture on whether the Gospels are anti-Semitic. ehrmanblog.org/are-the-gospel…

Outside the New Testament there are some truly terrific early Christian writings, including accounts of early martyrs. ehrmanblog.org/a-spectcular-m…

I continue here my discussion of the Martyrdom of Polycarp as found in my book Forgery and Counterforgery. This will get in the weeds a bit, but hey, it can be good for your soul! ehrmanblog.org/can-we-take-th…
