Hey berneice, I am with you. I like the post too, It's the bible truth

I think that ultimately atheism requires faith since humans aren't endowed with Ominiscience

There are different kinds of atheism. Some do rely on faith, some don't.

againstthewind · May 7, 2007, 01:32 pm

No matter what, the atheist has faith

I believe I am going to embark on a holy quest, and this thread seemed the place to announce it.

This forum has seen just about enough of the arguments over who has the burden of proof, whether unproven claims are false or simply unknown, and what exactly is the definition of atheism. I think that I am going to make it my mission to squash these arguments wherever they rear their ugly heads. I'm not sure how to do it yet; I think my first attempt will be to plead for some sanity from all of those involved, and if that doesn't work, I'm going to post on old and new threads until every single atheism-definition argument is banished to page 10 of this forum.

Isn't there anything else philosophical that we want to discuss? Clearly there is, as there are many, many threads that thankfully have nothing to do with this unending absurdity. Why don't we all agree to stick to those ideas, or even better, go back and resurrect some older arguments, and just let the absence of evidence threads die on the vine?

Who's with me?

Hey,

I'm new to the forums, and I think a good way to get things rolling here would be to ask something personal about you.

What is your religious affiliation, why, and what conclusions have you come to about your own religion. Do you accept other ones? If not why...

I myself was baptized catholic, but I find myself in a state of disbelief. I tend to keep an open mind, and believe that I do not know enough about my surroundings to judge them yet. I hold an attitude of "if there's a God I've been a good guy, but I'm not going to drink the Kool-Aide" if you get my drift.

so...how about you?

I have no opinion on any of the topcs, nor interest.

I decided last night to resurrect my own old stuff from Volcovo's dustbins and update them with some new posts. Please contribute to stuff I started years ago and am currently refurbishing...

Bottom of each forum main page has a set of page links for old threads; if you want to find PH's specifically, hit the search link and qualify the search to only Religion and Philosophy.

I'm agnostic, I do not belive there is a god, but I don't deny the possibility of there being a god.

Denying one thing in such incomplete knowlage about anything compared to the knowlage there is to know about this whole universe, is very ignorant, as well as accepting one thing as it being completely true.
So I belive there is no proof in any god or supreme force or being, but I don't deny it.

Gargoyle · May 27, 2007, 06:27 am

If god existed, then why are theer so much pain?, misery?, why am I so ugly?, why are there birth defects? why are there so much blah blah blah, i can go on and on. And I don't want to hear some bullshit that gods ways are beyong our comprehension, that is obsurd if you ask me. I look in the mirror is proof that there is no god, god made me ugly and I have to deal with this curse for the rest of my life, some god, thanks!!!
