Oldest bible in existence has no rise from the dead section. It was fantastic added after the events and fags tried to one up each other in how awesome there slave god was.
Anthony Diaz
you misunderstood what i was asking, you said implicitly that logical positivism/verificationism is logic itself.
whatever though, here's what i want to express: premises doesn't need to be 'proven' in order for an argument to be sound. they just need to be more plausible than their negation. a valid and sound argument is evidence. there are a ton of valid and sound arguments for the existence of god. but they are handwaved because nu-atheists hold to logical positivism/verificationism and metaphysical naturalism. begging the question.

and they arent. Yours arent. 6000 years of recorded human history and 0 evidence for the hundreds of thousands of Gods/Goddesses. Its a moot point at this time; not plausible
>a valid and sound argument is evidence.
no its not

no there arent. unless you want to present them. Which you havent

there are logical paradoxes in jewyism,islam and christianity
for example if jesus had risen from the dead why are there any jews still around? wouldnt they have all converted to christianity?
and why didnt jesus free the jews from rome? moses frees the jews from egypt. you telling me that gods best friend a human is more powerful than gods first born son?
shit just doesnt add up

p1: whatever begins to exist has a cause of its existence (PSR, ex nihilo nihil fit) p2: the universe began to exist (incoherence of an infinite regression of events, impossibility of an actual infinite) c1: therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence.
p3: the cause is either impersonal or personal (law of excluded middle) p4: the cause of the universe is not impersonal (impersonal causes cannot alone elect to change one state of affairs to a different state of affairs) c2: therefore, the cause of the universe is personal
characteristics of the cause: • personal (c2) • timeless (existed causally 'before' time) • spaceless (existed causally 'before' space) • unimaginably powerful (created the entire universe)

Asher Torres
in the parentheses you've excluded i gave backing reasoning for the premiss
the argument is for the efficient cause, not the material cause.
an efficient cause is what brings an effect into being, what produces an effect into existence. while a material cause is the 'stuff' out of which things are made.
for example: michaelangelo was the efficient cause of the statue david, and the material cause of david was the block of marble that michaelangelo sculpted it out of.

Why do you think that we only think empiricism matters. Mathematics and other analytic propositions can be proved through deductive logic.
The rest well ya... We need empiricism.
Got a sound argument for God to exists without a single synthetic proposition? If so then show it.

Atheism just means you don't believe in God, it doesn't mean that you know for a fact that God doesn't exist.
But even if God existed I would not worship him, because if he is truly good he wouldn't want me to waste my time praising him.
Connor Lewis
Alright then, let's talk about the substance. OP says people like you claim everything needs to be empirical, and never back this assumption up. You did that.
Jayden Allen
nothing, it existed. The most predominant theory out there is that the universe is in flux. Were in the expanding part right now, some time in the future it will begin to condense again, and repeat.
Alexander Anderson

"Atheism" is basically an industry, sells books and documentaries

Lucas Morris
there's no proof of anything. atheists selectively apply their skepticism and deny the reality of God. then they just believe in what they find emotionally satisfying.
example: they believe other people are real and theirs is not the only consciousness so they don't feel lonely, even though there is no way whatsoever to even ascribe a probability to it. virtually anything you can question has the same level of uncertainty.
atheists are cowardly faggots. take your skeptical spirit and take it as far as it will go. when you come to the abyss, leap naked into it. God will be there to catch you.
Liam Davis

Alright there are 4 possible outcomes of our life 1. God doesn't exist and you believe in him. Congrats you wasted time going to church.
2.God doesn't exist and you don't worship him. Alright no wasted time at church.
3. God exists and you worship him and are granted eternal life and happiness in heaven
4. God exists and you don't worship him and are sent to hell.
Seems there's a lot to gain from worshiping him and not a whole lot to gain by not; really just some saved time.
Luis Rivera
Got sick a week ago. Stomach pain was so painful I almost prayed to god to help me. Was going for 9 hours. Took all my willpower to tell him to fuck off and that he does not exist. Damn, that was close.
Yawn. Ever got through the sticky at the top by any chance?
Jack Anderson
Virtual particles, radioactive elements radiating out alpha waves, those things happen for no reason as well. Since it's possible with those why wouldn't there be a naturalistic cause for that singularity of matter to explode?
Matthew Reyes
Now THAT'S insecurity. You're seriously that concerned about feeling right for the sake of feeling right?

Pascal's Wager. The problem with that is there's an option 5. It's in Jeremiah 17:10:

There is no rational reason to believe in a God at this time which is evidence that you should not hold a belief in a God if you wish only to hold rational beliefs.

What if you worship the wrong god and get sent to hell or an equivalent anyway?
What if the way of worshiping god is flawed and you get sent to hell anyway?

He didn't SAY God must exist, he said you have no proof he doesn't. And you don't have proof God doesn't exist, you're just applying skepticism where you want to.

I have been an Atheist for like 5 years now.
I'm deciding about going back to being religious, because I think the way society is going is proof that the Bible is divinely inspired.
The more people separate from the core values of Christianity, the more you see degeneracy. Revelations is being fulfilled.

>But even if God existed I would not worship him, because if he is truly good he wouldn't want me to waste my time praising him.
Why do you think you would understand God's plan? An all powerful being won't look at the universe the same as you. Your time on Earth was given to you by Him, supposing that God is real, so why is it not possible to spare some time to acknowledge and praise your creator?
Chase Sullivan
>I think the way society is going is proof that the Bible is divinely inspired. Nope, predicting that men indulge in degeneracy when embracing nihilism is just common sense.

No proof jesus even died.
They didnt crucify people that way either (on a cross, or nails through hands). They put you on a post and arms were stretched vertical.
Spanks of a mock execution to symbolize stripping someone of their (social) authority. People got pissed at what he was saying so they got the romans to put the slap down. But couldnt let people turn into martyrs for him dying and let the place burn down.
So mock execution, shaming. Trying to destroy his following but not turn them rabid.
Also jesus saying "I am the way" is mistranslated meaning while the words are correct. By saying he was the way, he was referring to doing things the way he does them.
And most of those secrets... about the I AM force, and the Christ Power which he used... were pretty much lost after the Bible was created and the spirituality handed down through generations was replaced by a seedy religion.
Lose magical powers, get replaced by nothing more than "hope".

If I prayed it would feel like i'm starting to loose my mind to the pain. It'd be like both my flesh and spirit are being destroyed, not just flesh. Scary thought.
