Weak Theism

I MERELY hold to a belief in God, who is:

A single personal agent responsible for all of creation who is timeless, spaceless, immaterial and has the classical properties of being omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent and self existent.

Why is my belief FALSE?


Just thinking out loud here.

Prove it, name this God? There are thousands of Gods, how can you be sure your God is the correct God? May I call you human? Do you understand my point human?

It's a BELIEF, meaning not backed up by anything we can test or have evidence that actually exists. Thus, it's neither false or true. What's your point?

I believe in the Lochness monster. I believe it's an ancient dinosaur, it has a long neck, it has fin like appendages, and it eats bottom dwelling fish. Why is this BELIEF false?

@vbfl920 it really doesn't point towards this. You only think it does because you are insecure (as most religious people) with there being no gaurenteed higher meaning for everyone. If you actually take the time to look at the naturalistic evolution of the cosmos and life, you can easily see that it does NOT point toward your god, but rather, a slow emergence and development of life and the cosmos.

Btw our planet is doomed in the next 5 billion yeas. It will be gone, thats a fact.

@blashmet you can't claim it to be correct though

[Debunker333]

its not "wrong" However, if you want to say its true you must first:

1. Provide evidence supporting your claim including evidence to support each characteristic.

2. If you choose to reference the Bible, you must show evidence in support that what the Bible says is correct.

3. Explain to me WHY you believe this to be true.

I would like to hear why you hold these beliefs, I did not have enough time to create a video but if u could do a video response that would be great. thank you

[blashmet]

It's not false! :)

[ulthea]

I suppose for me, I see nature, the universe itself as being God like. I don't feel that it needs a human personality or conscience, just an intelligence and beauty which we can see throughout this cosmos.

Who knows, certainly I don't think anyone can call your(or my) belief false, least not until they prove otherwise :-)

I'm not saying this to be demeaning, but Emily, or bananabread is a a transexual, so that's why the name is emily.

Your belief is false because:

1. The characteristics "timeless, spaceless, immaterial" belong exclusively to things that do not exist.

2. Omnipotence and self-existence contradict, since it is impossible for one to have power to destroy the self-existent self.

3. Omniscience and omnipotence contradict each other, since it is impossible for one to know the future and to change it.

4. If there were an omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent creator, pain would not exist.

[Theologica37]

In short, "emily" you are evading supporting your assertions by quoting johnlarmstrong, who claims I am a liar by his own ignorance to different translations of scripture or for the surrounding verses of passages in Deuteronomy? Are you aware that he directly took his argument from a fundie atheist website? The details and fraudulence of his arguments are both disturbing and embarrassing.

But, do I understand you correctly? You are now opting out of your (what I can tell) unfounded assertions?
