@BillRM,

When you can come up with solid predictions that is testable concerning some supernatural being existing get back to me and the rest of mankind.

Wrong...when you can come up with a way of "empirically showing me" how all of this...

Quote:
Wrong science come up with a model of how the universe work and generate predictions that can be check if the model reflect correctly the way the universe happen to be build.

Dark matter for example bend light and change orbits and the formations of galaxies so we have a solid reason to think that dark matter is real.

Can be empirically known, as "evidence" "facts" "truth" etc...because they are "rejected to be believed" to be...and not because they are "believed to be"...then we will talk...

Till then, everything is a belief and that is empirically true...

@spendius,
Are you the only one who can make a joke? I answered your question about why atheists should bring life into the world in my post above this one. You say that's what you want answered; I answered... perhaps your attending to that might make you less... what is the word?

Really? Are you setanta's mentor or is he yours? Or is this something you both agree on?


I am not Setanta's mentor. It's just that he is a damn sight brighter than you lot and I know he will agree.

Even with Jesus the Christian god is more of a devil then most devils.

Can you prove this to me or do you believe this? Just as much as this devil existing/not existing, or as likely as you have said you believe a "tooth-fairy" exists?

Give me a minute or two eh? This is what you meant I suppose--

Quote:
Humans are optimistic by nature... they have short memories for fleeting suffering... they selectively remember 'the good times' from their past... their future happiness is often linked to how happy they can make their progeny. Many suffer due to the lack of offspring in their life. This is as true for atheists as it is for non-atheists.


It is not an answer. It is speculative flannel. And it should be obvious too.

I'll bid you adieu and let you get back to your 'speculative flannel'.

@spendius,
Spendius...you are suggesting that using a knife and fork...and the design of the trousers you have on. Or an explanation of your stated interest, which doesn't mean an actual interest, obviously, in Philosophy, Logic, General, Science, Biology, Linguistics, Ethics, Relative, Etymology, Philosophy Of Mind, Truth, Philosophy Of Language, Buddhism, Virtue Ethics, Religion, Knowledge, Fil, Arguments, Morality, and Metaphysics....

...all are unambiguous evidence that a GOD exists????

The chances of you being interested in such matters at all without the Christian God asymptote to zero.


You are kidding, right?

I meant to ask the doc today about the blood flow to my brain because it seems that some days are better than others. Wink

You want to hear something funny? I may take you up on your proposition and see what happens. What do I have to lose?

Spendius are you willing to invite him to the table at the pub or is this a one way conversation?

@reasoning logic,
It's a one-way conversation. If you lot are scared of the issue it is your responsibility for ducking out. Not mine. I'm a realist. You only assert you are. It's an affectation. Really, very lower-middle-class. The bottom end.

That's where you are excused blue-collar work but haven't personally deserved to be. But nobody quite knows what to do with you.

It is hilarious I agree. But it isn't good on an atheist thread that not one educated atheist will offer a justification for bringing new life into what everybody knows is a vale of tears, trial and tribulation and a weary world of woe and where the most appalling risks have to be run by this new life which, in the nature of things, cannot be consulted.

Perhaps you should bother asking those poor downtrodden souls you appeal to, to defend your bleak view of existence, whether they want to live or not.
Seems they try awfully hard to survive, maybe they just need your convincing to explain what a fruitless endeavor that is. I am sure they would be relieved to hear your (I assume) middle class European perspective on the situation.
Hearing that their lives aren't worth living, actually serves two functions. They can finally submit to death. We all can be relieved that allowing them to was an act of kindness. Thank you Spendi for your perspective.
