So then they have to change the wording so that you can't put god in the second premise. Same for "you can't have life come from non-life" (if god isn't life then you're saying life comes from god, which is not life contradicting your argument, and if god is life then your own argument says you mudt have something before god) or many other arguments like that

Where you think "incoherence" is same as "illogical"? And because you got so thoroughly destroyed, you now want to move to your right wing manufactured wedge issue that has NOTHING to do with atheism??? If you want to keep playing, why don't you tell us what "wokeism" is, since it's you guys making that up? And when you claim that Christians somehow know what a "woman" is, implying non-Christians don't, I presume that you are talking about the feminine gender? Or are you talking about how Christian Nationalists wanting to grab women by the **ssy to make sure that they are a biological female?

I just want to advise my fellow theists that just because we're both theists it doesn't mean you'll get a free pass getting either atheism nor science wrong. No matter how hard you lie. I'm sorry that upsets you but I'm under no obligation to defend your ignorance nor dishonesty just because I have beliefs. The usual debunked arguments: Fine tuning - no constants have been demonstrated to be tuned. Anthropic/puddle reasoning (distinct from FTA) - relies on assuming that things are noticeably existent because they were intended to be rather than because they exist and were noticed. KCA - relies on special pleading a particular something from nothing Contingency - relies on special pleading that contingency exists Design - relies on comparing known human design with known lack of design then assuming everything unknown is designed. Irreducible Complexity - still not demonstrated to exist Objective Moral Values - still not demonstrated ontologically

If I say I can know God by Faith and we all have the same measure of Faith given to us as mentioned in Romans12v3 and I find it to be true to myself does it become a fact and a way to understand God ? Or is it a lie and in effect make God out to be a liar as well? Because you Atheists say that as if you fear not God or his word and do just what I am saying. I have known God by Faith for over 40 plus years and are a Born Again Christian and yet I am called a liar by daring to believe in Gods word and tell others that they can know God the same way as well. It is quite sobering watching grown adults lie and twist themselves into pretzels as they refuse one way of knowing God and demand another way or ask proof of another way. Such as the things of God that if one is a Born Again Believer he confronts as he is called a liar or whatever and it is what it is and it makes you realize indeed the world will hate you.

[@claudiaarjangi4914]

First you have the universe, nature, then "minds" are made OF and within that nature. Not the other way around. "Minds" are made OF natural interactions, within the universes natural interactions. Minds don't CREATE natural interactions. Our awareness of or using "already there" natural interactions is NOT the same as MAKING & starting the universe & nature. Not one single thing we've seen ( that we didnt purposely design, eg painting ) including people & animals, has been "designed" or "created" with just mind power. We didnt "create" our child, it was a bunch of natural chemical interactions that happen, naturally. ( We are aware of & purposely have sex, but that is only using our awareness of natural interactions, & so putting ourselves in a good position for chemical interactions to happen, if they naturally can happen ) Just like EVERYthing else we've EVER seen. So what ( except for arrogance, thinking your mind is "godlike" amazing ) would make someone think that a minds awareness of its nature, means that it must be a mind that is actually behind that nature. Its a really weird idea, thats only slipped into the human zeitgeist cos humans didnt always have a way to test ideas, so stupid ideas are still here . Now we do have ways of testing ideas with reality. So now its just getting really arrogant, ignorant & stubborn peoole to face they were mistaken & learn from it. 🤦‍♀️🌏☮️ This, with many humans, is the hardest bit .

Here's an illustration of a Christian who has NO idea what logic is but will, illogically, say things are illogical for their illogical argument. -I'm not a Christian, you just desperately want me to be because you're entire world view can be summed up to, "I don't believe in an obviously false god concept." Wow, you're some kind of genius. But that isn't a very reassuring world view to hold. And it's harmful because you have no foundation for right and wrong. You just understand that some things are right and some things are wrong and the relies heavily on your subjective delusion of objective reality. The same reason why a believer's God almost always agrees with their own values. Example 1: "If enough people in a society unknowingly engage in selfish satanic behavior, it will bring an apocalypse to that society. (Homosexuality being some of that selfish satanic behavior that hinders evolution and thus, our species.)" I'm not sure where to even begin here. Claim 1: "There's some threshold of selfish satanic behavior that will create an apocalypse to that society." (No idea where they get this claim and they can't say what that threshold is and what an apocalypse for that particular society is.) - Exactly 1,234,232,232 people. What a ridiculous demand. Do you know how many raindrops will make a bucket overflow? And I never claimed a specific threshold. I said MOST/MAJORITY. You flat out lied. Your ridiculous explanation for claim 1, which wasn't even the claim you specified here has been dismissed as dishonest. Claim 2: "Homosexuality is a selfish satanic behavior." - It is. My book explains why. Objective reality doesn't care about your subjective delusion. Claim 3: "Selfish satanic behavior "hinders" evolution and thus, our species." - It does. My book explains how. Just like you don't understand Wokeism, you don't understand what Satanism is. Can you believe that there are people who hold these kinds of beliefs with NO evidence? Just "faith"? But I guess this guy believing evolution, despite his obvious ignorance of evolution, is a plus, so yay? - I never said you need faith. Everything I say is observable in objective reality. The evidence you demand is in my book. You refuse to read my book, so you actively refuse the evidence. Example 2: "To act/think/behave illogically is to sin against the real God, us, this reality and everything in it. This is why religions like Christianity talk about being kind to each other. It's illogical to abuse someone else, because by doing so, you abuse yourself. You minimize your contentment here." Claim 4: "Illogical THOUGHTS and actions count as a sin against god. But also a sin against us? And against reality? And against the universe???" - Yes, God is just another name for this universe, our reality, logic itself, all of us within it. Why is that a concept you can't understand? You're so fixated on this nonsense old man fairy tale god that you're brain can't even understand this simple concept. Claim 5: "Religions like Christianity says to be kind to each other to reduce illogical thoughts and actions?" - Yes, all of jesus' teachings are just trauma recovery, which in itself, is very good and everyone alive should understand it. The problem arises when the personal god is attached. And jesus had nothing to do with that, jesus was a philosopher which lead him to be a psychologiest. Churches didn't begin as places of worship to gods, they were men institutions. Claim 6: "Abusing someone else is illogical because it's same as abusing oneself (do your self-abuse in moderation and in the privacy of your own home, folks), and self-abuse is illogical for Christians." This is literally a mess of words. Please proofread your nonsense if you expect me to read it all. But yes, abusing yourself is illogical when you have the option not to. It really blows my mind that this need to be said. Can you agree the pleasure is desirable as pain is not for a conscious being? And to desire abuse is indicative of men illness? Because it is. Claim 7: "Self-abuse minimizes your contentment here, so I guess he's saying that it's bad?" (Considering Christians talk about an eternal afterlife, what does the level of contentment here matter in comparison to infinite contentment?) - I'm not a Christian, so you can't use a "I'm rubber you're glue," argument here. please address this again as you are not talking to a Christian, no matter how desperately you need me to be. I've been in a church 3 times in my life, 2 were for weddings. So these Christians are DEFINITELY kind to everyone, right? And you can see all their kindness OOZE out on these comment sections. NEPy and Jim definitely demonstrate that Christian kindness, don't they? - I never claimed to be kind to demons, adult children. You act like a child you get treated like one.
