Physics seems to have found quite a bit to know about nothing...source of vacuum fluctuations, possible source of big bang, etc.. Prior to that, we only had philosophy to tell us "nothing" was anything more than delusion. One might say that philosophers keeping the consideration of nothing front of the mind may have lent to some understanding in physics.I have often thought that Jan's thing was to keep the arguement going as to do so kept the consideration a God front of mind and therefore somehow lend a presence for a delusion.
But we have been conned... There is nothing and yet we have been silly enough to search for that nothing whereas to simply ignore the delusion hindering the theist we dont let their delusion be elevated to anything more than delusion.
Court-wise, what evidence do you have that ignoring might cause a delusion to fade?Jan avoids defining God in any way else he be pressed for specific evidence.
Avoiding definition leaves the delusion crying for rejection and in that rejection via our involvement we breath life into the delusion.
And so I shall not give the delusion any recognition by rejection as to do so causes the delusion to grow... By ignoring the delusion it will fade away.
What cruelty, suffering, and harm?My concern has always been that a lie exists and that children are harmed from their brain washing.
...
And as to the cruelty I see suffered by the children I must realise there is nothing I can do to change the objectionable tolerance extended to theists that entitles them to abuse their children.
It is a shame and the cruelty will continue.
The repetition of lies concerning history will continue, the superstition will be tolerated because faith will not be questioned nor will the absurd customs associated therewith be stopped.
Have Judaeo-Christian values, largely an extension of Aristotelian values, not been more good than bad for western civilization?
