Re: How to PROVE GOD EXISTS?

By the manner of your expressions, it seems that you are trying to convince yourself of something – not me.

Re: How to PROVE GOD EXISTS?

"You may have done it inadvertantly, but you have made my point very nicely."

Chuang Tzu
"Great understanding is broad and unhurried; little understanding is cramped and busy. Great words are clear and bright; little words are shrill and quarrelsome."

Re: How to PROVE GOD EXISTS?

What is the difference between this classic debate over the existence of God and a game of chess?
When playing a game of chess, most people know that they are only playing a game of chess.

Re: How to PROVE GOD EXISTS?

The Internet is such a funny method people use to reach out to one another. Someone could say, “Something has overcome me. I want to work. I want to live, but not out of fear and anxiety, but out of a general love for life. Everything that happens, every manifestation of existence is significant t...

Re: A Challenge to Atheism

Maybe we should be arguing about commas instead. Haha. Well commas are a grammatical grey area (or should I say "gray" - that is open to debate as well). There are basic tenets of comma use, but I have known English professors to be rather contradictory when it comes to the more complicated and ambi...

Re: A Challenge to Atheism

Yeah I agree that Pantheism isn't supernatural. But that is simply because it doesn't try to inquire into or articulate about those "feelings" that they cannot explain rationally and with material references. Once you give the "unknown" characteristics or personifications of any type, you subject yo...

A Challenge to Atheism

It’s been a very long time since I have visited this forum. If anyone remembers me I would like to say that my absence has been from cowardice not because I’ve been insanely busy (Sarcasm? It’s hard to tell with the written word isn't it?) A challenge to Atheism using some of the championed co...

Do you respect other types of masters whose craft is different than yours? ie the greatest classical composer, athlete, painter, politician, scientist, physicist and so-on? Do you value their importance even though it is different than what you feel to be important?

But my question for you David (and forgive me for a lack of articulation and finesse I’m on time restraints), how do you react to someone who is your opposite.

"What used to be "unhappiness" becomes neutral. You can pretty much endure anything after a while."

Sounds like you're an advocate of "balance". Maybe you should direct this wisdom to the "Balance" thread in the main Genius Forum.
