This may seem a bit convoluted, but this is what happens when one has to explain axiomatic concepts to insistent idiots. If you reject this, it's because you didn't try to accept it, you think with your emotions, or you assume your conclusions. >hurr sky daddy This """contention""" is analogous to going up to a car enthusiast and snorting "hurr hotwheels." Don't confuse your mockery for intelligence, or your nonunderstanding as unsoundness of the argument. That only works on reddit.
Get out, cancerous newfags. Sup Forums has always been a Christian board.13

Saying 'Jesus is the one true God' is like saying 'one plus one equals two'
Obviously, 'one plus one equals two' are just letters. nobody would believe in just letters.
But it represents certain concepts that are truths.
Same goes for 'Jesus is the one true God'. He lived a life of complete truth and transcended this fallen world. Everything in this world is Satan's Domain. It is all flawed. The meaning of goodness and truth is whatever transcends this world. People will never be good. All we can do is seek forgiveness from the one true god

>I understand the logic, No you didn't; I accidentally deleted two of the premises. >but can you provide physical evidence for your claims?* A "claim" is implicitly defined as untrue. It isn't a claim; it's a conclusion. >For example, a miracle which God unquestionably wrought, which can not be attained by any other means. Proof of bodily** resurrection would suffice.*** The problem with the "Show me a miracle." contention is that a "miracle" is defined as impossible and therefore non-existent. Life is a "miracle." All of existence is evidence of God's existence and your presumed denial of that is of no consequence. The validity of evidence isn't contingent on its tangibility. Evidence is also epistemic, therefore evidence doesn't exist without logical inference. I've provided logical inference so that you may recognize evidence in the world for God's existence. Your having not observed proof of a resurrection is not sufficient to assess the likelihood of God's existence.
*Subtle mockery through insinuation of incredibility **Suble mockery through redundancy ***Subtle mockery through insinuation that Jesus never rose from the dead Atheists act like this because they are entirely intellectually unequipped, but still want their way like whiny children. This isn't a sincere inquiry; it is a whine.

>I need a skydaddy watchig me i order to behave morally Sounds like you are pretty immoral then. Look , if believing you are a cosmic inmate in some metaphysical penitentiary makes you not be an animal, go for it.
Colton Cooper
>I need a skydaddy watchig me i order to behave morally I didn't say that, so I stopped reading there. You set up a strawman presumably because you want to argue from your emotions, but you don't have any arguments.
Jose Rodriguez
this level of argumentation is way the fuck over the typical Sup Forums atheist's head
would p3 and p4 still be true if p24 is true? if God exists, wouldn't he exist necessarily, in all possible worlds?
Christopher Baker
I don't think if God exists, He necessarily necessarily exists. I am personally unconvinced anything is necessary, but I'm a noob at modal logic.
Carson Sanchez
ah well, it's obviously a good argument since the only counter you got in this thread was this guy's ((( ))) strawman i'm going to steal it
Jacob Foster
lol If you do, I put the complement on the wrong side of the "p" in "(p ^ 'p = everything)." It should be "(p ^ p' = everything)," not that that part is really necessary.
Nathaniel Edwards
>p xor not-p idiot
Ryder Ward
No, it is showing that p ^ p' is the set of all things. It is not a disjunction.

So what, if God wasn't real there wouldn't be any reason for you to not be an awful shitbag? Christfags are scary.

If you believe morality, consciousness, or meaning can exist, you are reaching Fixed,

Anything that you necessitate God to exist, does not exist.

why would i try to refute his argument? christcucks never change their minds no matter what you say, its like talking to a wall

OP, this brings up a question I've been thinking about for a while. When trying to solve the question of how and why the universe began, at a certain point the problem becomes more philosophical than scientific.
>If all space and time existed within a singularly, what event prompted the universe to no longer exist within that singularity. >If outside of this singularity there was the absence of space, then there was also the absence of time. >An event acting on the singularity from outside would be dependent on time, meaning time existed outside the singularity, thus space must have also existed. >Space time existed outside of the singularity where this event occurred.
What caused the event? At this point the case for intelligent design is just a legitimate as the case for random occurrences.
