Anything the mind concludes is fallible. You can say that is also an absolute statement and an article of faith, there is no end to mind games. It only thinks it knows whilst going around in circles. Society and culture pressures us to make up shit that we actually don’t know. And not knowing...

And the fact that if I say something like “there are no absolutes” being a self contradictory statement just shows the limits of the mind and language. The mind ultimately contradicts itself, it is fallible. All I can say is I don’t know. Society creates an illusion of knowing; religion...

Wrangler, if you look all around you closely, you’ll see that just about everyone gets ideologically defensive. They get defensive in politics, religion, even science. Yes, even mathematicians disagree with one another. The greatest minds, philosophers, etc. disagree. If people are so convinced...

No, I have not seen the JFK movie. And you wrongly assume that I would take science as gospel in your scenario of a professor making outlandish claims. Science is a reliable tool, but it’s not perfect. You would think I’m for Dr. Fauci, the CDC and the vaccine-I’m not. And no, I don’t believe...

Spiritual pollution as in New Age? I think New Age arose out of the disputes and conflicts between religions claiming exclusivity while still attempting to preserve classical concepts such as God, Satan, etc. whilst changing their meanings. One can still worship Jesus without excluding everyone...

And I only said that those miracles are not necessarily caused by God. This is a Christian forum after all and you’re talking about miracles. I brought the cause of those miracles into question to see where you stand out of curiosity and to no surprise of mine of course…there was no hesitation...

Pope Clement Vll declared it was fake over 600 years ago. Some scientists claim it is medieval forgery. There is endless debate regarding the Shroud. I’m not siding with anyone because I don’t know the truth about the Shroud. It’s another mystery in and of itself. Unfortunately I would be a...

No, I don’t rule out the possibility of a supernatural cause…but you seem to rule out all other possibilities in which the same could be said about yourself, “Your mind is your idol.” People usually avoid ambiguity because it’s actually more comfortable. It is more comfortable to avoid...

I disagree because there have been many times when we called something a miracle only to later find out the true cause of it. Human beings used to believe that earthquakes and lightning were supernatural, for example. It’s not that I’m not open to the cause of something being supernatural, it’s...

But let me ask you this, when a miracle occurs, there is clear evidence of it occurring. There’s no denying that. I also can’t explain it which is why I call it a miracle. However, why would you assume that the cause of that miracle is a god while ruling out all other possibilities and also...

Haven’t looked into it yet. But I will say that since you are saying there is evidence, then that means that there is no longer a need for faith. Faith is diametrically opposed to evidence. You only need faith if you lack evidence. I find that Christians are split into two camps: the first being...

I don’t know…many of them describe themselves as “God fearing men.” And I’m an atheist agnostic. You briefly said nonChristians pump out their unholy negative vibes which is Satan’s work yet we aren’t the ones who claim that Satan exists and anyone who doesn’t believe what we believe is destined...

Unfortunately I don’t share the same fear as you (of God) since I can’t fear something there’s no evidence for. Whenever a Christian says, “I’ll pray for you”, it’s really a kind way of saying, “screw you” because they don’t have the courage to say it bluntly at the risk of coming off as...

But right here it says that government is an institution of God. Pelosi & Biden are God given, they must be venerated and the only reason anyone would not venerate them is because they don’t understand that God works in mysterious ways. According to this verse, I think there should be pews in...

That’s why I said to me personally. There’s way too many similarities between a religion and a cult to overlook.

I know science can’t detect the supernatural. But yet many people act as if the supernatural is there no matter what, so the burden of proof is on them. The whole point is to get them to admit that their entire premise is faith based because a great deal of them talk about how ‘there’s so much...

John 14:6 is a favorite among fundamentalists and is used to justify that only Jesus is the way. Jesus also spoke in parables, he could have meant something else by that phrase. The fundamentalists think they are being literal when in fact they could just be imposing their own interpretation of...

You could be misusing the logical fallacy of ‘appeal to authority’ to discredit those who are qualified. Immediately after you stated, “Common sense and anyone fully trained in philosophy”…common sense can be an appeal to popularity. Anyways, mathematicians really don’t have special knowledge...

No, rationality is not my god or idol. It’s a useful tool, just like science. It helps in being objective and in getting things done. Even though the majority of innovations and good business came from Christian nations, it does not mean that Christianity is a direct cause...
