Nonsense: Prove/Disprove existence of a god or gods

[Daecon]

Disbelief is the default. It requires no knowledge, thought or reasoning to not believe something. Every one of us does not believe in millions of things which we've never heard of.

This seems at odds with what you posted in the "What's the difference?" thread in the Linguistics subforum.

Now I see you are opening your mind...I still need you to define physical first.

My mind isn't closed. I'm done defining things. What does this have to do with the subject?

 

[krash661]

What does this have to do with the subject?

i'm not trying to be a dick towards you. know this....
but in response,more than you might have thought.

 

[akoreamerican]

So less knowledge = more free will?

i would say amount of knowledge you have is inversely proportional to how much free will you have yes.

 

[StrangerInAStrangeLand]

It certainly sounds like you cannot choose. so thank you for admitting you gave up on your "choice"

I did not give up on anything. What the heck is your problem?

[StrangerInAStrangeLand]

Now define "physical"

Define define.

i have no problems but it may seem like i have problems if you have problems

 

[StrangerInAStrangeLand]

i have no problems but it may seem like i have problems if you have problems

You definitely have a problem trying to tell me I'm giving up.

[akoreamerican]

I just told you I cannot choose to believe or not believe.

see im quoting you admitting you gave up

 

[spidergoat]

I would say that there is material, space and time. They are apparently all the same thing fundamentally. I would call it all physical as opposed to the virtual. The virtual isn't real, but it's not completely unreal either. Our dreams and ideas seem to occupy a parallel world that influences the physical through computational mechanisms or brains. This is an emergent property of matter. It's a description of what matter does. Particles dance around and form dreams.

I keep coming back to this passage from the (non-canonical) Gospel of Thomas, verse 29.

Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit,
it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the
body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this
great wealth has made its home in this poverty."

see im quoting you admitting you gave up

As you admit you gave up on understanding what people say to you, facing reality & making any sense.

can you clarify this, how am i admitting i gave up on understanding what people have said to me

 

[StrangerInAStrangeLand]

It is very sad that you do not want to understand what is said to you.

[akoreamerican]

perhaps non canonical gospel should be taken more seriously

 

[StrangerInAStrangeLand]

perhaps non canonical gospel should be taken more seriously

Perhaps none of it should be taken seriously.

i try to say things in a way other people can understand, but if you are not putting any effort into your explanations why should i listen

The question here is why should anyone listen to you.

[akoreamerican]

if you are only interested in making your point right, you are not seeking god. if you are humble and seek god,
you will find the The Truth

 

[Daecon]

Which God?

 

[akoreamerican]

The God
