I still haven't got my do do award. I even built a shelf for them. Btw did you ever figure out that code i showed you? I am still waiting for you to show people how smart u are. by solving the code.
The idea that Atheism is fact does, and always will, take belief. It is not a truth that there is no God, nor is it a truth that there is one. The only truth is that nobodies knows the truth about God. I highly suggest that any Atheist and any Creationist go out and research many of the alternative possibilities. From Paganism to Buddhism to Atheism, etc. If you remain steadfast in your faith, then you are truly what you claim to be.
@theevilgood The only way to claim that nobody knows the truth would be if you already had known the truth. Draw that out to its conclusion, and your forced to make the statement that there's no such thing as absolute truth. But that statement in itself would have to be "absolutely true."
@glues1 Then allow me to amend my statement. It is not that no one knows the truth, it is simply that we lack the knowledge to identify said truth with definite certainty.
@campowt What? I've never seen a religious person argue to a God. They all take that a God exists on faith and try to point out holes in knowledge, or their scripture to prove it.
@swinnbar - there's a lot to admire about the Jehovah's Witnesses. They were the only group in the holocaust who could have walked out of the concentration camps at any time, if they would just sign oaths to Hitler. Almost none made that choice.
These days, they are very environmentally minded, and have been so since before it was hip.
You know what you should do if a Johous witness comes to your house? Pick your Machete up, make sure there is blood and say "Aw you must be here for the virgin" And then if they ask you if you are religious say "Yes, but its not legal in this country" That usually scares them away.... If not, tell them: "the Virgin was for the Sacrifice, you still in on this or not?"
I need to take the time to read this book, it sounds very interesting and has sparked my interest.Is it sold in retail book stores?This is the first video I have seen that you have posted and I can tell I will watch more in the future.
@TLSlayer1 invite to what? I don't even know how I would receive such an invite. Is this something in the "Shared videos" thing? I get so many, I don't check them. If you have one you want me to watch, send it to me in a PM.
In a book called "Atheism and Naturalism" I expect he makes a case for naturalism as a philosophy. If that's the case does he argue for methodological naturalism, ontological naturalism, or both?
Materialism is a constrictive filter through which to view all raw data. All other paradigms which expand upon it free the human mind.
"If my stone knives and bear skins-du-jour cannot measure it, it is nonfactor! And I'm taking my ball and going home too dammit!" A pubescent, emotional philosophy worshiping sapient perception.
Tragic was the day Science chose to limit itself to this paradigm.
@EyeLean5280 We hade those a few weaks ago, and I WAS going to confront them on their views, until the person who was staying with me, took over and finished the convesation for me ) :< Hell, they come to YOUR house and then someone stops you having your word, next time though, Ill get them and if they don't like it, they know the way off the premisis. I think it's silly they think they can tell people what to belive in, in their own homes.
@meatisdeliciouse - I don't mind JWs. The ones who came by yesterday were new, but there's a couple whose been visiting every Saturday for years. I told them the first day I'd never join their church, but that they were welcome to sit on my porch and have some lemonade (it was scorching out).
They come by and tell me what Bible verse is on their mind each week. I ask a question or two about their church's history or something. Then we chat about our kids.
@zimtran007 Yeah, your right. any time I see a bear, it makes my mouth water. I don't like them cold though, it "burns" my teath. I don't like ice cream either. I once tried drinking my dads Whisky, and it was like drinking white spirit. I couldent handle it, it was so strong. Tasted good, but stung my toungueue
I think it is important to keep books, which give people who are neophytes to the subject of atheism and theistic apologetics ,terse and simple, and if they can digest such material in a short and rudimentary form then they are free to expand on it in much more sophisticated works. The last thing you would want to do is give a newcomer a huge academic treatise like Michael Martin's "Atheism: A Philosophical Justification", because it could potentially turn them off.
Hey KH :> MIssed your videos, you going to bring back the awards? :> great source of entertainment and new people to subescribe too :> Hope to some year get on there now that I'm actually trying to make videos, even if they suck :>
The hardest part with religion, tonight I watched the CNN special on Waco and two of the people they were talking to still believe that David Koresh is going to come back for them. The one guy lost his teen daughter and the other woman lost her husband and three teen-young adult kids and becuase they fear what will happen once they see the truth they continue to believe. What you need to get past is a lot of self serving dissonance and fear that all that effort they put into it was for nothing.
@MistressArte That sounds really interesting. I wish I had caught it. I've stopped keeping up with CNN after the 3rd time I caught them fudging on a story, being busted on it, and not owning up to their error. Hopefully this one is on the up and up. For a little bit, I was starting to think that they would turn into another version of Fox. Still, it sounds like an interesting piece.
@KingHeathen It's called Waco Faith, Fear and Fire I'm sure they have it on reruns. Also it really depends on who the reporter is. Some are more honest than others.
The book sounds very interesting, but as you point out, it's a very big topic...I'll be looking it over.
BTW I'm having a terrible of case of e-envy...I'm trying to decide which e-reader to buy. Could also post a link in the lowbar for your e-reader video?
Whatever choice I make, I feel sure mine will be overpriced and out of date before I take it out of the shipping box. :(
