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.

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
Wow now you really have made a mess of things. Maybe you are very clever and have confused things simply to avoid discussing them. But I will admit that I am sort of rushing these responses and maybe I should resume this exercise in rhetoric at a more opportune time. I will start the spoon feeding s...

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...

Sorry to single you out Mr. Paxton maybe I should have included Ergasiophobic as well. I guess that is telling that I am also blindly promoting my agenda. Haha. But I am aware of it and will work on that.

Well Trevor Salyzyn I have (for what reason I do not know) been criticized in the past for taking sides and choosing favorites, but I would like to say (by giving credit where credit is due - but without jacking you off) that I find your elucidation of that Pantheist quote thoroughly enlightening.

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...

Re: A Challenge to Atheism
Well I've done my research on Pantheism and was for the most part satisfied with what they believe. But I also read that Richard Dawkins and others like to weave Atheism and Pantheism together and I do not agree with this. http://protestantism.suite101.com/blog.cfm/richard_dawkins_on_deism I will ad...

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...

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. How do you react to a feminine minded-individual who is an utter sensualist, pussy-driven, materialist, power-hungry and unconscious emoti...
