I am an agnostic atheist "weak atheist" but if my life depended on the correct answer to "Does God exit" I would say no But then I pretty much say that now in my own mind but I try to be more respectful to believers and say that I am not 100% sure he does not exist but I am almost 99.999999999999999999999999999% sure.
Wishy-washy as usual. LOL No confidence, no backbone, just bull ****!
Only if you can climb out of it once you are proven wrong. Not necessarily directed at you.
I prefer to have ideas or understandings than beliefs. I try to choose the understandings that seem to have the most evidence supporting them and then I still realize that there is a possibility that I could be wrong so I remain open to new information that could turn my previous understandings upside down.
And I agree with that. As I said, not necessarily directed towards you.

@Fil Albuquerque,
Seeded, yes. At Big Bang + 1 ms the entire story of the entire universe, over billions and billions of years, was already 'seeded' and knowable (by God) in advance, including what hairdo Madame Micheline will have today... Yes. I tend to forget the depth of your delusion.
On some matters, yes, but not all (100%) the time!
Yes this does seem to be true, There are many matters that we have enough knowledge about that we do not need to be skeptical but some of these matters can still be understood a little better than we understand them now.

Yes there is no distinction between my thinking so and your daily belief there is a relation between your bladder being full and your will to piss...the only distinction to be made is that I am aware both things are the same while you are impaired intellectually to have anything other then a superficial mundane grasp of the consequences ! Just avoid talking to me and your problem is solved...

@Olivier5,
You posed 'Luther', I responded...... And his followers are Lutherians.
It is not a lab that is needed in order to prove the existence of deities, it is doctrinal.
Why would anyone want to disprove something that there is NO proof for?

Our history, unavoidably, is responsible for those scars.

@Olivier5,
If the process loops indefinitely - Every possible event MUST occur - So everything can be predetermined.
Doesn't mean there is a consciousness initiating or guiding it.
When you say "every event must occur" why does it necessarily become predetermined? Events occur when they occur, and nobody has predetermined the thinking or activity - not even the actor. How does that become predetermined? When natural disasters hit, who predetermines who will die and who will live?
When that train crashed in Spain and it killed 80 people, who predetermined who would live and who would die? Yes, we can agree that event occurred, but how did you conclude it was predetermined?
If the process loops - ALL events MUST occur and recur.
This loop it was 80, other loops= 12, 780, 4, llamas, indians, no train, no spain, no Earth, etc, etc. So All events are predeterminable, just not linearly predictable.
What do you mean by "all events must occur and reoccur?"
Some things like life and death occurs and reoccurs, but where and when does individual activity "occur and reoccur?" We are born once, live a few seconds to over a century, then die. All human lives are subjectively different by degrees beyond life and death.
Your attempts to explain predetermination belongs on Comedy 101.
We're talking about individual lives, not universal perspectives.
In the 'LOOP' process!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you not paying attention?
Throw a dice over and over and all faces MUST occur and recur.
Thus - the outcomes are predeterminable.
You, alas, appear to be basing your opinion on a single throw.
