> Even if intellectual speculation has, at times, led to bizarre doctrines and monstrous conclusions, we cannot but have a certain sympathy for, and interest in, the struggle of the human intellect to attain the Truth. ∮ Father Frederick Copleston.

It’s always the same conceit with that account, confidently asserting some badly wrought argument defeats a theological framework, reducing theology/metaphysics to scientistic evidentialism, and then treating God like a cosmic object at the same level with other entities. Sigh.

Anyone who has truly read and understood the “best” arguments for theism would, eo ipso, recognise employing “epistemic probability”—understood in its Bayesian sense—w.r.t theistic concept/percept of God(s), or indeed, to metaphysics as such, is a flagrant category error.
Ghost of the Australian Realists@analyticatheism

I’m a strong Atheist who has read all the best arguments for Theism & thinks the epistemic probability for Theism is nearly 0, yet on nights like tonight where I feel I’m getting assaulted on a lot of fronts, it would be nice to have a God to believe in and prayers to meditate on

@Whizdom01 @_OKJ__ @De_GreatKhan He wasn’t even invited to begin with. This isn’t a superficial analysis where he can fish for gotcha moments, be it the language/conceptual apparatus or pedantic expressions, to use rhetorical soundbites that will, in turn, further his lucrative enterprise of gathering Elon coins

Lol…. Nigerian atheists are obsessed with Christianity, nonetheless, your end is dumb for these reasons 1. Mary and Elizabeth didn’t have any concept of what the Holy Spirit was. 2. Roman soldiers weren’t stationed in Galilee during Herod’s reign when Jesus was conceived. 3.

You know what this means? It means that the past, in a sense, still exists…if you’re in the right vantage point to observe it. To understand why this is possible, you have to recognize that everything you see depends on light. Objects are visible because they emit or reflect light. If something neither emits nor reflects any light, you wouldn’t see it at all ,you’d only perceive darkness or, at best, a silhouette. Now, the key point is that the speed of light is finite. Light travels at a specific speed…it doesn’t move instantaneously from one place to another. If that’s the case, then everything you see is actually seen as it was in the past. The amount of delay depends on the distance between you and the object you’re observing. When you look at your phone screen, you’re seeing it as it was a few microseconds ago….that’s how long it takes for the light to reach your eyes. When you look at the Sun, you’re seeing it as it was about 8 minutes ago, for the same reason. Now take this idea further….if an alien civilization were located 2,000 light-years away and had a sufficiently powerful telescope focused on Earth…especially around Nazareth or Bethlehem…it would catch Mary and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, planning on how to convince Joseph that the pregnancy was by the Holy Spirit…when in reality, she had a sexual encounter with a Roman soldier who later rejected responsibility for the pregnancy. 🥲

@_OKJ__ @De_GreatKhan @Whizdom01 “only recently became familiar with?” physics? philosophy?😂 keep projecting your vulgar plagiarising brain. ~700 chars of utter insubstantiality. Just cos I addressed your inadequacy doesn’t mean this isn’t above your wits. You had to jump in, the offensive halfwit you are.

@_OKJ__ @De_GreatKhan @Whizdom01 Lmaoooo! Just look at this deluded nincompoop. You think the proper taxonomy, the proper names that designate the low-quality dogmatic fideist of your status, to refer to only you? Afofungbemu.

@_OKJ__ @De_GreatKhan @Whizdom01 This clumsy, thought-terminating projection is almost endearing in its ineptitude. But, in the end, it only makes you sound like a scrawny little bitch.
abiodun@____abiodun____

@_OKJ__ @Whizdom01 A brief rhetorical analysis. You wrote a low-grade heap of conjectural slop: ~700 chars, 130 words, > 20 negative affects… An incandescently obvious rendition of “cry” over concepts that lies comfortably beyond the vulgar limits of your intellect.

@De_GreatKhan @Whizdom01 I choose the Wittgensteinian stance apropos of the simple-mindedness of Bertrand Russel, to wit, engaging such halfwits offers no conceptual gain in argumentation about the Divine, it sullies the purity of conviction, just as muddy hands would deface the delicacy of a flower.

@De_GreatKhan @Whizdom01 Not Islam/Quran/Bible/Christianity/platonism/ or religion in general. They simply do not have the range. Not that they have the range of science which they think grant some jejune authority due to their dunning-Kruger and supracrepderian excursus.

@De_GreatKhan @Whizdom01 Someone marooned in a prison of inert, stifling, and fideistic stasis, who in his fatal conceit, think of himself as a skeptic. The joke writes themselves.

@De_GreatKhan @Whizdom01 But I’ve since decided not to engage that halfwit. There are some of my followers I respect too much to subject their sensibilities to the assault of such low quality of slop. A halfwit so uncritical as to be thinking like an 8-year old. So unworthy of engagement.

Sufism isn’t some alien excrescence—so to speak, but an inward, esoteric dimension of Islam, much as Gnosticism was of early Christianity, Kabbalah of Judaism, the theosophy of Böhme and Blake of Protestantism, and Emerson of post-Protestant, New England Unitarianism.

@SFAjayi A big one. We now have accounts deliberating instigating agendas of different varieties to get the rise out of people. It’s why I don’t think I can subscribe for the premium, it seems I’d be enabling such bad culture.

@____abiodun____ The X payout system has been a disaster and I am not sure it's even profitable.

When has an incentive apparatus, especially one riddled with cavernous loopholes, nevertheless, ever served the ‘common good’ of the denizens, rather than prostitute incendiary utterance for utilitarian ends, ends effortlessly granted by X false effigy of “creator payout” scheme?
