A Human Social Construct... GOD!!!

[Mike12]

Huh, God is going to superstitiously help me at the Poker Table? And that's just about all the General Assembly of the Presbytery and Stonewall Jackson could talk about.

 

[Leftyhunter]

actually that's not entirely true. if there was a god they needed to be so much above us that they are necessarily incomprehensable for us. an atheist has as much a definitive answer as a theist when the question is is there a god? - both answers yes, mine! and none! are nonsense as we can't understand a god (if they existed) there is only one valid answer

how the hell should i know that? ​

with a most likely not a distant second

Either there is a God or there is not. Plenty of folks claim to have spoken to God. People believe in all sorts of things . If there really is a God he/she/it keeps their presence hidden.
For now there is no God unless one wants to believe in that sort of thing.

Either there is a God or there is not.

true - that sort of thing tends to be binary

Plenty of folks claim to have spoken to God.

irrelevant - how many people claim to have been abducted by aliens?

People believe in all sorts of things

true but irrelevant - how many people believe to be napoleon bonaparte but aren't?

If there really is a God he/she/it keeps their presence hidden.

for us - we are just not evolved enough

For now there is no God unless one wants to believe in that sort of thing.

nonsense - there is either a god or there is not, whatever some people believe is irrelevant to the fact.

any position to that matter but an agnostic one is highly illogical (as spock would say)

If you really believe in God then enter the next WSOP Main Event and put God to the test if you don't have 10k plus the entrance fee just play some mini tournaments and work your way up to winning a WSOP Satillite event and that will get you a seat at the WSOP Main Event. You can negocate with God on what percentage of the money you win goes to whatever God wants.

People love to believe in God so there will always be guillable sheep to fleece. An agnostic is just another word for a cowardly atheist either one beleives or doesn't.

An atheist just says there's no God vs an agnostic believes the same but is waiting for some mysterious proff after thousands of years of no proof.

nope - i can't proof there's no god (most likely there isn't) aka the possibility remains - what i can and will do is saying that each and every god on offer is a fraud.

you cannot prove a negative, damnit

 

[Jim Klag]

you cannot prove a negative

Well, there is Zwei. Both negative and proven.

When was Faith, zeal, fervor, fidelity, piety, orthodoxy, a question of intellectual prowess? Did you see the part in which all the realms of the world could belong to Satan but Jesus Christ does not conform with the rebel, and there is a final confrontation in which everyone is one side or another in a war of no quarter, and the direction of your feet should be answer for you.

This is all superstitious talk... Do not act as if it's reality? It is no more true than Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones are true... Its all magical thinking...

There is very little more necessary magic in the Gospel than Socrates at the Areopagus . Acts 17:19-34
Do you take faith in the moral directions of life over death, the virtues over the vices, and the good over the bad?

Show me a banner where skepticism is a "work"? WHere's that banner? You know I haven't been anywhere but defending that Stainless Banner in every post I've ever done.

Stainless Banner

A Confederate flag is God ... You are defending a Confederate flag and white supremacists... I am talking about God and you proving to me your God... You can't because he nothing more than magical thinking... Get back on topic...

Stainless Banner

it's stainless before you unwrap it and use it to wipe the floor. flying that rag should be a criminal offence - it's the flag of treason (us variant)

what if the rittmeister was in a lutheran protestant reformation with a Prussian Empire.

See now I've seen this Lutheran flag a few computer games too. That's the Lutheran Flag.

Now they got a Covenanter Flag of the agreement between all the nations in Reformed religion maintaining Reformed Religion in Scotland, England, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall (is that 5?).

State Stars can newly associate, the agreements are not being met, they have puritan agreements. Its in a dusty alabama office until the 60's put it on speedos.

i only live in berlin i'm an ex-catholic from bavaria

... as to your flag, so what? sporting a saltire doesn't make two flags the same, does it? it's not the design* that makes your stainless banner a traitorous rag.

who has the best pretend friend.

Why, myself of course.

And, he has a dog that pretends he is a bizarre form of a horse.

O.K., a reindeer.... but that didn't rhyme.
