No. but if you want to determine who is qualified to talk about god, you will have no choice but to base your decision on faith. .

perhaps for one who balks at application ....

 

[Enmos]

if you can't provide anything to your claim of perception except faith, there is no need

Exactly.
And why is that ?

I have this aspect to my existence called "real life"

No, you started the reply.. then quit.

Frankly, I think this is something a lazy victim would say.

At some point, indulging in relativism and indecision begins to be too demeaning to put up with it any longer.

What the hell is a lazy victim ? LOL

 

[greenberg]

Someone who actually enjoys being helpless.
It seems to be quite common, actually.

Then how is it a victim ?

 

[greenberg]

Because they are helpless or believe they are helpless.

Laziness and helplessness are not mutually exclusive.

 

[lightgigantic]

Exactly.
And why is that ?

because you don't have a process

No, you started the reply.. then quit.

I didn't think you would appreciate half a reply ....you might interpret it as an inability to answer your argument or something

 

[Enmos]

because you don't have a process

What process ?
Show me how the woodpixies differ from your God.

I was just asking because I thought it was weird :shrug:

Of course they are not mutually exclusive, but they seems to be when describe the same process.
If someone considers his-/herself a victim, he/she won't be lazy about it.
If they are lazy about it they are not considering themselves to be a victim :shrug:

 

[lightgigantic]

What process ?
Show me how the woodpixies differ from your God.

never encountered a normative description in theistic literature?

 

[Enmos]

never encountered a normative description in theistic literature?

What does that have to do with anything ?
Show me the difference between my woodpixies and your God, considering their existence.

you seriously don't see any differences between this and this?

Ha!

Never underestimate the appeal of feeling helpless.

 

[Enmos]

Not in regard to their existence.
Seems to me you know that, hence the non-answers..

 

[Enmos]

Never underestimate the appeal of feeling helpless.

How is being helpless lazy again ?

 

[S.A.M.]

How is being helpless lazy again ?

I suggest you spend a year or so in Kenya or Darfur or Zimbabwe

 

[Enmos]

I suggest you spend a year or so in Kenya or Darfur or Zimbabwe

Well, that's not going to happen..
Maybe you could just enlighten me ?

 

[Imperfectionist]

He could do it, yes.
But a high-school student does not have the expertise to know why the way he arrived at the results is a correct way to arrive at those results.
To know something to be a truth, one also needs to know why their presumed knowledge isn't simply a lucky guess.

That is the task of a science teacher to show them how the conclusions were based on math, logic, and the scientific method.
