    The majority of mathematicians will tell you an axiom is an assumption. They arise out of human observation which is limited. Similarly, people will go around acting as if common sense is a real thing when really it’s as Einstein has said, “The collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.”...

    I’ve heard the, “Interpreted by Holy Spirit” argument before and I’ve come to the conclusion that that’s synonymous with the Bible speaking to you emotionally. While emotions are good and all (as we all have them), we also have a rational side. I’m not willing to sacrifice my reason for emotions...

    If you consider it to be a distinction without a difference then it would be a rationalization for false equivalency. If you mean that atheism is a religion just like the others in the sense that apples and oranges are both generally spherical, sure…but it ends there. Just because atheism is...

    “In trying to refute something that is axiomatic, you demonstrate its validity.” This is fallacious since it is tautological at best. It’s like saying, “A beginner who just started.” ‘Accepted’ truth. ‘General’ truth. But not Truth.

    False, it did not rule that atheism is a religion. Rather it acknowledged atheism as an equivalent of religion for first amendment purposes only to give atheists the same rights as those who proclaim to belong to an actual religion. The term ‘atheism’ shouldn’t even exist, but it does as a...

    Since the Christian faith is so bulletproof, why does it need so many apologists and defending of it?

    The evidence of the universe expanding faster than the speed of light is the recession velocity of the furthest galaxies we can see. That velocity exceeds the speed of light. How Fast Is The Universe Expanding? Hubble Reveals Most Precise Measurement Yet How fast is the universe expanding...

    There are Christian apologetics, and then there’s counter apologetics to those Christian apologetics. Criticizing the Bible directly is one thing and certainly nothing new, but criticizing the arguments of a Christian apologist is where the meat is at. A lot of these apologists do great...

    I just noticed you're in Australia. I've got some Australian friends, Australia is highly progressive. I don't think they're as progressive as west coast USA though.

    Numbers 23:19 God doesn’t regret Genesis 6:6 God regrets creating man “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Genesis 32:30 “No man hath seen God at any time.” John 1:18 In this survey that was conducted to see who knows more about religion, atheists/agnostics scored the...

    Well regarding monkeypox…literally every media outlet is saying monkeypox is most prevalent among gay men to the point that the WHO recommended they limit the sexual partners. Many straight people exploit the back door as well but I guess they don’t go through as many partners.

    I don’t know if you knew but the synagogue mass shooter Robert Bower from 2018, had the verse John 8:44 (where Jesus refers to Jews as the children of the devil) on his social media profile. Now Jesus was also a Jew and it’s mentioned in John that salvation is from the Jews. There are just so...

    Speaking of Jerusalem, I got a doozy for you. Christians get along pretty well with the Jews, they’re almost siblings. But Muslims on the other hand, there’s a lot of animosity between the two. Now here is the thing, Jews completely refute the trinity and Jesus being God…just like the Muslims...

    I wouldn’t doubt that Jesus spoke to you in your experience. But remember what I was saying, personal experiences vary from person to person. To a Muslim, Muhammed may have came and spoke to them instead. And there are all kinds of states that are not in line from reality from hallucinations...

    So is a vaccine mandate then. Don’t you get it? They are only trying to save your life. But refuse, and you lose your job, livelihood, potentially face jail time. The jab is not against you, it’s for you, it’s a gift from the state...because it’s also free. If you disagree here, then all you’re...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Just because it’s incredible does not imply that there must be a creator. That a logical fallacy, it’s the classic teleological argument. We haven’t ruled out all other options. It just rests safely in the ignorance that we don’t have the answer to everything. Saying that there must either be a...

    I disagree with heaven being awesome. It would get really boring for me as there would be nothing to strive for. No more challenge, no more incentive to grow. It’s the same as the government lowering the bar for everyone so that everyone can finish in 1st place. You’re against government...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    That’s if you believe in a creator to begin with. Many say, “Yeah but once you find out there is one, then it will be too late.” That is coercion. It’s like me trying to sell you a product claiming your life depends on it and if you don’t buy it, then it will be too late because you haven’t...

    For some people, choosing Jesus helps alleviate whatever they’re going through. For me however, no god has ever brought me peace in all the issues I’ve ever had in life.

    Yes, it’s replacing depending on a government with depending on Jesus. And yes, Jesus is very different from a government…however the principle remains the same which is that at the end of the day…you still have an ultimate authority outside of yourself. I love my guns, I opposed vaccine...
