@Leophilius @darwintojesus Saying your disbelief in God is totally unrelated to anything else you believe is something you can do but nobody with a rational mind will believe you.
English
@darwintojesus You didn't make an argument.
You just made the opposite claim.
And I did show how atheism isn't a belief system. Here:
Atheism is disbelief in the proposition “God exists”.
Disbelief is merely a doxastic attitude on a proposition.
Doxastic attitudes aren't belief systems.

@HistoryBoomer Nobody willingly plays the same game with different rules. That is unless they only care about winning and not the people playing the game.

"I don't like using comments made when people are minors."
If only you'd stopped there.
"My opponents used old social media posts, so now I can. My opponents lied, so now I can. My opponents are monsters, so now I can do anything."
That's the road to becoming evil yourself.

1. I don't like using comments made when people are minors. 2. The political left, including this woman, wouldn't be so reserved if the target was a conservative. So.. Full speed ahead. These are the rules liberals chose... Let them live with it.
English
@wswann @Aiism_Priest @darwintojesus Too many people are wrapped in the "prove God exists with physical evidence" debate, its a terrible spot to be stuck in.
I came back to Christianity a few years ago and its definitely a complicated subject, but life experience convinced me before the message did.
English
@HandsofScars @Aiism_Priest @darwintojesus Fair enough. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in a reasonable and civil manner. The exception, rather than the rule around here.
English
The number 1 thing atheists simply cannot understand is this:
If you change the foundation of reality, you change reality. You can’t change how and why everything is here and expect for nothing else to change. Our understanding of morality, meaning, science, personhood, choice, design, beauty, rationality, etc…. All of it.
All of it changes.

@571Rapture @trad_west_ Yeah, but if you had billions of years its possible, right?
English
@trad_west_ I believe in coincidence to a point.
I don't believe in winning the lottery millions of times in a row.
English
@wswann @Aiism_Priest @darwintojesus This is about the limit of my knowledge of this theological debate. I've seen it argued that if God is the arbitar of what is and isn't moral than how can humans judge and question that. That is what the Isrealites did and it didn't go well for them.

Smoking is cool, it has always been cool and will always be cool. You shouldn't smoke because it's absolutely horrible for you. It's why we all quit, but it doesn't change the fact that it's cool.
Caveat: It is extremely uncool if you're fat. It just makes you look like an out of control animal with no self control and you look like you're going to drop dead. Gotta pick one poison at the most.

If smoking is cool, I'm cool with being uncool…

@HandsofScars @Aiism_Priest @darwintojesus Thanks for your reply.
Israelites were told by God to destroy whole communities. To me, this means that God isn't unambiguously opposed to humans engaging in mass killings.

@colinabwallace @JeffreyLuscombe What percentage of American dairy farmers use growth hormones on their herds?
All farmers use antibiotics on their animals, chicken farmers have to.
English
@JeffreyLuscombe In addition to supporting our own dairy farmers, we already didn't want their dairy loaded with growth hormones and anti-biotics BEFORE Trump and Musk removed most of the food inspectors. No thanks!!!
English
No Canadian would touch American dairy with a ten-foot pole. 🤷🏻♂️
The White House@WhiteHouse
Born here. Raised here. Harvested here. Processed here. The TRUE AMERICAN standard. 🇺🇸

@wswann @Aiism_Priest @darwintojesus The neighboring tribes were objectively evil, child sacrificing and without their removal they would corrupt God's people which seems to have been the case.
English
@wswann @Aiism_Priest @darwintojesus Nations have waged war before Christianity and without Christianity so that doesn't really point to any flaw within it. In the old testament the Isrealites were told to completely destroy neighboring tribes, something they didn't exactly carry out as told in the Bible.
English
@Aiism_Priest @darwintojesus Your perception is built on the foundation of Christianity which has done the most work to remove things like slavery and genocide from humanity. You assume that without Christianity this and more would have been done because rationality or something.
English
That's already part of your perception.
Imagine there is a Creator that doesn't care about humans. Perhaps the universe is like a terrarium to them and they like the beauty of the cosmic order. Your foundations stay the same yet there is no Abrahamic God.
The foundations could stay the same without any Creator at all. It might be difficult to imagine, but there is no law that humans have to have the ability to imagine everything.
These perceptions influence how society and humans operate, but we are not changing the foundations of reality itself. Reality functions the same way no matter how we attempt to analyze it.

@jaffo_studios @DonutOperator @GammaReigh Canadians are the country equivalent of giving your little brother an unplugged controller. Their language and ties to the US and the UK makes them think they're real or are of any importance and we just let them believe it.

So many non-white ICE agents is wild and disturbing.
LanaQuest aka RosaSparks@LqLana
So Trump won't pay TSA but ICE are being paid to do this? #DemsUnited

@dad_advice82855 @libertydadpod @jwsherrod Some of us are thinking about this in Christian terms.
Your viewpoint is decidedly unchristian.
English
@Chopsmath @Babygravy9 I think most car seats are stamped for 5 years. Kid outgrows it in a year or two and you can't even sell or donate it because "it may have been in an accident". $200, $300 car seat is trash because of these paper pushers.
English
@Babygravy9 It's a symptom of our greater problem, fear. Safety first has gone out of control.
English
Seems insane but it’s actually very plausible. Mandatory child seats are literally destroying Western civilisation.
Sam Ashworth-Hayes@SAshworthHayes
In the United States car seat laws mandating use until age 8 save 57 lives each year at the cost of about 8,000 births.

@Johny5911 @joeroganhq Conscious, its scientifically not possible to prove it. Brain scans are evidence of brain activity, not consciousness.
English
@Johny5911 @joeroganhq Fluid intelligence? Sometimes they're smart and sometimes not.
All I'm asking is for you to prove human consciousness and so far the best you come up with is you need to have a brain to be conscious, which isn't evidence. Its not evidence because you cannot prove you are
English
A lifelong atheist guest on the Joe Rogan Podcast shares his near-death experience: "I sensed this black abyss like this infinite black void and I was getting pulled into it."
English
@Johny5911 @joeroganhq You made those claims and now you're trying to shift the burden of proof to me. That tactic may work on others but not me, so let's see the evidence to your claims.
English
I don’t need to prove that nothing happens, that’s not how it works, you didn’t understand the last comment? 😀
there’s no evidence that consciousness exists without a brain.. and we have plenty of scientific evidences showing it depends on one.
On the other hand, we have zero evidences there is something after, so, give me something, you have to know something that science missed. What actual evidence is there for consciousness without a brain?
And do you believe in ghosts and crystal bowls too?
English
@Johny5911 @joeroganhq You said you could prove that someone who blows their brains out doesn't experience anything. You always claimed you could prove human consciousness, you've done neither.
English
You keep saying “they saw something” like that means anything. People see things when their brain is stressed, sleeping, or shutting down. You discovered hallucinations and called it the afterlife 😀
And near death is not death, buddy…near death is life. A brain that’s alive produces experience, what a shocker. Without a brain, nothing is happening.
Btw. you’re the smart one here obviously and yet, you’re asking me to prove there’s no invisible dragon in my room. You’re the one making the claim, lmao, you prove it😂😂

@Firecat_189 @Rothmus So you can talk about star trak, good for you.
English
@Rothmus I listen to rap music and can talk about quantum entanglement, quantum physics, and the difference between using a Brussard drive versus sub space drive when transiting a wormhole. The so called study is invalidated.
