Are your god and nothingness the same ?
A god who is not visible or physical cannot be heard or take material form and has no evidence for itself is by definition indistinguishable from nothingness. If these are the characteristics you use to describe your god or similar characteristics then you have simply described nothingness.
No. My God is not the same as an absence of anything. It's hard to explain but I take comfort in knowing God is with me. I may not be able to see Him, but I feel Him and his influence. Without Him then I really would feel nothingness, so in that sense He's a gentle light in a dark void of the Spirit.
Lol, even to me that sounded mushy, I can practically hear the collective groan and palm to face slap. But that's how best I can describe it. He gives me comfort.
I wont give you a groan or face slap. I have nothing against a persons belief preference. It's when that belief is forced on ME, in the form of pressure or laws that I will "slap back". Also when one belief is violently (or just insistently), forced on others who have their OWN beliefs, as, "Your god is phony, mine is the only real one." THAT is the "god problem" this world has! If everyone would just believe as THEY want, and try not to influence others, we could be on our way to world peace!
I'm glad "HE gives you comfort", GREAT! "HE", whichever "HE" it is, gives others the will to force their "god's will" onto the world in general. "HE" is just a tool for a power grab! A way to get control of the masses (and the money), and become as close to a "god" as they can (like Kim). Unfortunately, HE did it without a "god", giving some a chance to group him with atheistic views. So he doesn't believe! There are MORE who DO believe that try every day to do the same!
I DO NOT believe in any god, from Allah to Zeus. That doesn't put me in the Putin/Kim/Hitler/etc. camp. I wouldn't say a word against your (or anyone's belief), if people would stop arguing about gods and their words, and stop fighting to spread them!
I agree completely. A person has the right to believe in what or whom they want, what I hold them to are their actions. Forcing someone into a belief isn't a true belief. It would be like forcing me to like radishes because you think they are amazing, in the end if I eat them it's only to shut you up but I will never truly like them. Probably a poor example but you get what I mean. :D
If you do not believe in God that's fine. I have one friend who believes in the Norse religion, another that practices Witchcraft and a few that are practicing Wiccans, and several friends who are both Christian, Catholic, Jewish and Atheist. They are all very good people and amazingly....WE ALL GET ALONG. That's what humanity is, a melting pot of different cultures and beliefs. It makes me sad when people are so blinded by their own ego and desire to be right that they don't see how many amazing people there are out there.
Oh the their cultures food? Holy cow! Wait I think I got off topic...also I'm hungry....
I just can't take you seriously. Honestly. You judge, you lie, you pray for the death of others because you don't agree with them, you pray for the death of another's child, and your hatred and disdain for women and anyone who isn't like you almost chokes all sense from you....all of that just makes you look ridiculous.
You're right he's a hate filled brute who admitted if people saw what he posted on here he would be ashamed , decent Christians on CD ignore his his rants as they see him like most on CD as a hypocrite
This is true. His arrogance, pride and hate will lead him down a path I wouldn't want to follow. Deceiving a Preacher??? I mean that's what he's doing if he presents a good Christian front to his spiritual leader then comes on here and boasts that no one who knows him in real life would believe it's him typing this garbage in anonymity. In a way I feel pity for him but what he types is his choice.
Anyhoo, enough with wasting time on a bad egg, according to him I need to get to a witches....what did he say, camp? Is that like a Gypsy camp? Are there RV's or cabins? I'm not sure, I'll have to ask my friend. ;D
Yes like most on here I also pity the poor wretch , have you got a sat nav ? I'm sure it will guide you to the nearest withches camp or failing that how about using your trusty crystal ball ?
That's actually something I thought of when he said he prayed for Dermot's child to die while she was pregnant. Sick. It actually elevated my opinion of Saint. As crazy as he is, as much of an accuser as he is, he never went so far as to say half of the things Jeff says.
Yes, if Saint was less of a coward, he could have been more rational.
Jeff, on the other hand, lacks even the notions of pride and honour (as can be seen by him being oblivious to my replies to his related questions in this debate and the referenced conversation(s) therein). Though I don't know about him saying that, it isn't unlike of him to do so. If that means anything, he's also really insecure about himself.
coming from the paronoid confused little cry baby.
worried about christianity, intelligence, complaining about bronto being no.1 on the leaderboard, feeling left out jealous when someone is said to have an active imagination etc etc etc.
That is the definition of insecure.
you're pleading to be acknowledged so join the devil group......
i'm always solo. how many people argue on my side? zero right? yet y'all can't handle me.....you just don't know how i keep coming....lol...
Ah, chimp, you don't have to prove everything I say. I don't need such confirmations on my word.
As expected, chimps play right into anything they see. But still, here, take an upvote for your compliance (for I can't offer a banana online... you'll get one if you yield as quickly).
Don't worry about that, though. It means little to me whether you are insecure, for you are too unworthy for any appeals to my kindness. Dermot and Mint might decide to consider it as something, since they're kinder than I am.
Judging from your argument, I doubt there's anything more you need to know here.
when your daughter brings an unwanted pregnancy home encourage her to have an abortion.
i pray she doesn't survive the baby. she and you will lose your babies
You want him to encourage his daughter to get an abortion. You want her to die in the process. You pray for her death so he can experience such a heart breaking loss.
You are sick when you pray for someone to die because of something you don't agree with and then try to take a pious attitude about the whole thing.
"You want him to encourage his daughter to get an abortion"
Encouraging abortion is not new to him. I just wanted him to carry out his normal routine on his daughter not for my malicious intent but because he thinks it's safe/ok/normal.
". You want her to die in the process."
So that the pain serves as a lesson to dermot. He may not be even moved since he thinks it's ok for a baby(another human) to die.
"You are sick when you pray for someone to die because of ...."
Anyone who supports abortion has a prayer/wish of death on someone.
I have only come to defend the innocent fragile child Dermot doesn't deserve to be a grandfather of. its a shame really.
I'm attacking the first attacker. Negative (- -)Negative = ?.
I win.
Did you know christiano ronaldo's mum attempted aborting him?
Did you know Vin Diesel's mum attempted aborting him?
If we have so many dermots on earth, imagine how many christiano ronaldos and vin diesels we will be throwing away........
On the other it's because of people like me that dermots exist.
Someone holds a knife to kill someone, your opinion is asked and you say it is for the already determined killer to decide....imagine how the victim will look at you. Indirectly........you have
Ok rephrase it is not encouragement it is motivation.
And only an illiterate will say a pregnant woman and her child are of the same body. If they are, then every single woman in the world now should be pregnant.
Can't even develope an argument with the other debaters eh dermot? You don't need anymore stupid points to win the "stupid trophy". Are you trying to set the actual world record for being the biggest dumbass?
Telling me the thoughts you think about yourself are not helpful. In fact, we don't actually want to know the thoughts of someone with the brains of a chimp. Spare us next time.
Says the guy who's hobby is debating and arguing with Christians over the fucking bible 😂😂 you's can't even agree on what it really means 😂😂😂 I don't have to cite sources to back me up when I'm always right , your sources Matt Damon and fucking ...... you tube 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Whales and hoooved hyenas 👌 magic apples and talking serpents 😉Got ya 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
1)You thought the commandments were given from a whirlwind, which proves that you don't even know what the Bible says.
2)Ezekiel tells us the Eden story is an allegory.
3)Jesus told us his parables were parables.
4)The story of Jesus is never referenced as an allegory.
5)Your turning on your faith is based on the hope that allegories are... not allegories. And that literal stories... are allegories. That is unforgivably stupid.
6)Just your whirlwind comment alone proves you are not qualified to have this debate because you don't even know what the hell you are talking about.
You can't even cite the basics of the commandments or the race of Jesus. And never provided a citation...ever. So I highly doubt it. Your talk is cheaper than most.
Do you ever actually debate anyone without flying into a hissy fit when people disagree with you ?
It's meant to be a debate site and yet you fly into a tantrum at anyone who disagrees with you , very strange indeed .
For every person who believes that a certain story is allegorical, metaphorical, or symbolic, I guarantee that I could find another person who says it true .
I'm deliberately emulating your behavior and debate style, so I probably wouldn't go there if I were you. What's the matter dermot? You can dish it but you just can't take it? Would you like mommy to tuck your little snowflake ass into bed? Do you need a nap?
I raise my characters from the dead on Second Life. It isn't hard when you have that ability. The fact that even THAT wizzes over your head is sad heaped upon more sad. You are a mental midget and a poor debater.
You're right. When you claimed to be a Bible scholar, claimed that "God gave the commandments in a whirlwind, and I pointed out that it was bullshit, and then you avoided any rebuttal at all costs, that wasn't you being dismantled and made to look like the mindless, clueless fool that you are.
Bullshit was it ? Wrong again you're schooled again loser making you the mindless , clueless pile of crap you are ......
How many times a day do I correct you , you've lost yet again 👋👋👋👋👋
The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, And the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished In whirlwind and storm is His way, And clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
You need to read your bible retard I told you I'm authority on it and I keep schooling you , here ya go open wide for your daily medicine .......
Loser 👋 Beaten again buddy 🙀🙀👋👋👋👋👋👋👋
On the third morning after Moses had talked to God, the Israelites where busy making their breakfast when all of a sudden there was a large rumble and a flash of light over the mountain. Anyone who was still sleeping were startled and woke up suddenly.
Everyone went out to look and just over the mountain there was lightning and thunder, and a very thick cloud hung over the mountain so you couldn't see the top. Even the mountain shook and the sound of trumpets could be heard getting louder and louder.
So Moses went up the mountain to hear from God once again. This time God told Moses, "Go down to the people and tell them not to follow you up the mountain, the mountain is a special place because I am here." So Moses warned the people not to touch or go to close to the mountain.
Sure you do dermot. You don't believe in God, thus you have adhered to some other unprovable and theoretical conceptulization of how reality began. Perhaps "nothing did it". That would be one hell of a giant fairytale. Bwahahahahaha! You believe in fairytales!
Yep bye ,bye retard , you're too retarded even to realise I posted my response earlier ; you got schooled yet again in the bible a book you never read ......

So you can't dare to take responsibility for your words.
It's funny that you expect to be able to lead the world. Let's see... if your plan somehow succeeds and I'm unable to make you fall, you're free to have me executed. It can't even succeed to begin with, anyway.
(For anyone who is unaware about the chimp's plan, it's that he'd say something like "AMERICA IS BAD!!" and the world will fall over under him.)
I don't have a crystal ball....OH but I think I have a marble somewhere....maybe that'll work? If it has to be crystal I have a crystal punch bowl too....hmmmm, though it could be glass......
Your inane rants are getting more cryptic by the day obviously to you they are the epitome of intellectual excellence , it's indeed fortunate you've been ' blessed ' with a massive ego and a very active imagination .
That's the one Mint also asked me last week to commit suicide ; incidentally this piece of filth claimed a lot of women enjoy being raped and indeed fantasised about it .
He's beneath contempt and has no equal in nastiness on CD
Ugh that's disgusting. He has no high ground to take when he talks about religion and how one should act. Not even middle ground. Heck, he commented about rape on another debate I was chatting on and some of it was so ludicrous I thought he was joking.
He is a truly sick human being who admitted if people saw what he said on here he would be ashamed , he actually calls himself a follower of Jesus and his ways , he's a first class hypocrite .
You're a piece of trash , you wish a painful death on my daughter, state that women enjoy being raped and ask me to commit suicide and then state my life is worthless ?
Now you ask me in your usual insulting way to confirm whether you're a liar as well ?
"You're a piece of trash , you wish a painful death on my daughter, state that women enjoy being raped and ask me to commit suicide and then state my life is worthless ?"
As usual.
"Now you ask me in your usual insulting way to confirm whether you're a liar as well ?"
"it's indeed fortunate you've been ' blessed ' with a massive ego"
You actually meant this.
But its not ego but your expectation.
You expect because you white, i should salute you.lol hilarious.
One topic whites hate to talk about is white being a dificiency.
Lack of melanin at the extreme an albino. Read on it.
"and a very active imagination ."
You also actually meant this.
You let the paranoia of a jealous confused teenage indian hinder your liberation just to stay in his good books. Well, i don't care. Play the politics, you don't wanna lose your team(friends) over your enemies, do you?
I never said I'd be truthful about myself to you, but quite the opposite, remember? (Ah, your style is as repulsive as ever.)
For all you know, I could be your neighbour, if you aren't living in an asylum already (asylums in Ghana are, after all, nothing to be proud of). I'm much better at putting up any act than you can hope to be.
So, any of those descriptors means nothing - you're just pecking on whatever I give you.
Just to get a little revenge, you'll be dumping your food supplies? That's seriously fucked up.
You're what you say you are when i put my stamp on it. It won't matter whatelse you say.
No, it doesn't really matter. I said that just in case you prefer your judgements about others to be more accurate, but I guess I expected too much from a savage.
So you think yourself to be god. Well, zombie chimp, you're in a no better, if not worse, place than me if your fantasies turn out real.
Where is your pride before God?
I'd be honoured if an omnipotent bully considers me a threat to his feelings.
Don't worry about it, though - I don't expect weak little chimps to understand. I do expect your highest masters to understand, however, so... you couldn't have ever played the pope or anyone else, even for a little game.
Therefore, I'd recommend you don't even ask about such things that show how you have always been a disgraceful and savage chimp.
I choose not to address the details of your useless talks.
Cry all you want, you can't do that even if you want to. I had already said that to begin with, but you... as always, were just a savage little chimp.
i will pluck a mango name it jatin nagpal the god of hullaballoons
I don't really want to be prayed to by you chimps. Otherwise, instead of a list of safe religions, I'd prefer it to end with me as your new God.
You're just a hullaballoon seeking special attention.
It'd be dishonourable that I interfere with chimps forming judgements about me. I'd still recommend that you don't use it as major parts of your claims, even though I know that it would mean little to a savage.
"Cry all you want, you can't do that even if you want to. I had already said that to begin with, but you... as always, were just a savage little chimp."
lol. you the spreading your paranoia all over CD. Religion, Intelligence, etc.
Ow...little cry baby where's your daddy and mummy?
"I don't really want to be prayed to by you "
lol. of course not. Your idol will be surrouded by maggots and vultures at the dump site.
"I'd still recommend that you don't use it as major parts of your claims, even though I know that it would mean little to a savag"
It's funny that intelligence does not permit you to think any broader so you result to savage , savage, savage.......
ohw....i've had seven cups of that already for breakfast. You still on fast of intelligence.
It's funny that intelligence does not permit you to think any broader so you result to savage , savage, savage.......
I wonder... how much more do you want to be insulted? Unlike a disgraceful baboon as you, I don't consider insults and such things as important parts of my claims.
ohw....i've had seven cups of that already for breakfast.
Oh, so being called savage even by your peers is a very normal affair for you. I knew you were an exceptional idiot, even for the continent you said 'belongs to savages'.
lol. of course not. Your idol will be surrouded by maggots and vultures at the dump site.
Even that's better than you praying to it.
where's your daddy and mummy?
Nowhere that it should matter to you.
lol. you the spreading your paranoia all over CD. Religion, Intelligence, etc. Ow...little cry baby
As I said, what you want to think about me and how you want to judge me means little. What is the most insulting to me is that you think your such arguments and judgements can count as anything against what I say, but since you're too savage to understand that, I can overlook it as it'd be unreasonable for me to feel insulted.
Unfortunately you continue to devolve from your now ape like primitive state into something resembling pond life where no doubts you will wallow in ignorance with other bottom feeders like foam within , now a drain , and other pond life .
So you don't know if he's counting Jatin in or out so your statement should be ' who said he's counting you in or out ?
without the brackets 👌
So how does this relate to pride you idiotic creature ?
God says he will command stones to praise him ?
He/she / it sounds just as illogical as you .
God can create 5000 more Jatins ?
That leaves you in a most unfortunate position as it means your god detests you i, if he /she / It is sending 5000 more Jatins to mock your stupidity .
Maybe ask your god to show up and we can discuss his pride issues ?
I don't care about that, chimp. You can bite off your legs into fire as an offering and it wouldn't matter.
If I were there and as lawless as you are, I'd have ripped off those legs, or, if you aren't as weak as you sound, broken them.
Though I know that it was a joke, I don't want anything in your vicinity praying to me, or you calling me a god of anything. Thanks to you being of an unsafe religion, I don't need to make you understand that in more secular terms... If your fantasies turn out real, then I'll personally see to it that you go to hell for encouraging anyone to pray to me, or even saying about doing so. I hope that's clear, uncivilised chimp.
You understand what "if" means, right? Doesn't seem like it, chimp.
Because I'm not savage enough, I won't be doing any such things, but you'd better not mistake my honour for kindness (duh), for you deserve none of that.
Now, if you can be less disgraceful, then do it. This is the last topic I expected to talk about on a debate website, and am not particularly interested in such conversations.
That was the last time I commanded you not to call me a god of anything, and it's imperative that you comply. That's all you needed to know from that.
Then collect writings of others who preach about it and claim they're a perfect manual from the god himself
Then build into it the threats that you have to go all in or else you'll regret it.
And finally, you create actual churches with bureaucracies and dogmas and physical presence so it's a touchable thing people can attend.
And now your nothing is something.
But be warned, the fact all those things above may exist does not equate to the fact that the god exists. Scientology has every one of those components. Are the scientologists more right than everyone else?
Jesus isn't nothing. He has arms, legs, and is a part of history. Atheists are relying on a magic nothing that can manifest something from its magical nothingness.
"A god who is not visible or physical cannot be heard or take material form"
I don't think anyone defines their God this way. Omnipotence would allow one to be heard, seen and to take physical form if they chose. I think what you're saying is that the believer hasn't personally heard, saw or touched God. The only problem is that the same applies to Julius Caesar yet the vast majority have belief in him.
They chose not to reveal themselves terribly shy by nature no doubt 😊 Yes a believer hasn't seen ,heard or touched a god yet they claim they exist .
Julius Caesar's name and/or image appeared on coinage from 49 BC until his death.
A Roman coin was struck in 44BC, commemorating the murder of Julius Caesar. 60 of these coins are known to survive in silver, and 1 or 2 in gold.
(http://www.theguardian.com/cultu...)
That is ONE coin, never mind all the other coinage of the era that survives, and never mind the busts, stone tablets, carvings, books, and other records that still exist.
Go to the British Museum and you'll see more than 11 evidences of Julius Caesar in a single display case.
Evidence for a god any god ? Zero so far , as for Jesus reputable historians agree a wandering preacher named Jesus lived but never suggest the miracle working one as suggested by the religious but a mere man of that name and occupation
Coinage is serving as a witness account here, whereas the biblical texts, statues, etc. aren't? I'm not arguing that the bible is true (I don't believe it is) but you seem willing to accept one account as valid evidence and not another. King David and his God are both dealt with as equally real in the bible. Now, I do think the evidence for King David is stronger than that for his God (once again I'm not Christian). I just don't think you can dismiss multiple accounts as not being evidence, even though it obviously isn't proof.
Tell me why do reputable historians and scholars accept the evidence for Julius Ceaser but not for a god as depicted in the bible ?
Yes I accept the evidence presented for Julius Ceaser as it seems pretty conclusive , do you think all the coins minted with his image were done as some sort of hoax ?
Evidence fir a god I've yet to come across .
There have been multiple accounts of the Loch Ness monster and the yeti do you also accept them ? i
Well there are reputable historians and scholars who believe in the God depicted in the bible. As I said before, the strength of the evidence for Julius Caesar is stronger than that for the biblical God. I think we're operating with different definitions of evidence here. Evidence is something which supports a claim; it isn't conclusive proof. Accounts of the Loch Ness monster are evidence of it's existence, but they aren't conclusive.
Yes there are historians who believe in the god in the bible as all Christian historians do isn't that why they're Christian ?
I use the accepted definition of evidence as in ......
evidence
ˈɛvɪd(ə)ns/
noun
1.
the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid.
Historians agree the evidence for Ceaser is pretty good I've yet to hear the same said for a god by non Christian historians , accounts of the Loch Ness monster are evidence of its existence ?
So accounts of unicorns or zombies are evidence of their existence ?
"1. the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid."
On that same site you got that definition from has "1.2 Signs or indications of something." The body of evidence (1) would include all the different pieces of evidence (1.2) both for and against the point of view.
There can be evidence for something that is false. Witness testimony is legally regarded as evidence, is this wrong in your view? Accounts of unicorns and zombies are indeed evidence of their existence. Once again, however, the evidence isn't conclusive.
Evidence that is false is not evidence it's false testimony , witness testimony is legally regarded as evidence if it credible and accepted as such .
Accounts of unicorns and zombies are evidence of their existence ? They're not they're merely accounts and are evaluated and either accepted or denied .
I don't even know what you're arguing about now , if you wish to believe in zombies , ghosts and gods because someone said they spotted one go ahead .
"witness testimony is legally regarded as evidence if it credible and accepted as such ."
Yet nobody can be sure that what they have said is true. It is inconclusive evidence, but evidence nonetheless. The same applies to eyewitness accounts of unicorns for example. Of course we must also evaluate the strength of the evidence (for example they may have been on drugs, or perhaps they are a known liar). Yet their account is still evidence, no matter how weak, for the existence of unicorns.
"Accounts of unicorns and zombies are evidence of their existence ? They're not they're merely accounts and are evaluated and either accepted or denied ."
Accounts are evidence. See definition 1.2 of evidence in my previous post ("1.2 Signs or indications of something."). This is why I brought up that we were using different definitions. If fact A suggests theory B then A is evidence (definition 1.2) of B. Fact C and fact D may offer stronger evidence (definition 1.2) that theory B is false. In which case the body of evidence (definition 1) would overall suggest theory B is false. Nonetheless fact A is still evidence (definition 1.2) of theory B.
Incorrect , at best the evidence you describe is circumstantial evidence and is examined and evaluated and deemed inadmissible evidence as in the case of unicorns , gods etc ,etc .
If it came to a court case inadmissible evidence is no longer evidence is it ?
Regarding unicorns why do you think that if you claim " I saw a man today with a blue coat " that most people will accept that statement as more than likely true ?
If you state " I saw a man today feeding a white Unicorn "
why would nearly everyone accept that statement as nonsense ?
You don't understand what I'm saying at all. Look at several different dictionary definitions of evidence (or even just the other definitions on the page you cited). Then apply them to what I've said and see if you can make sense of what I've said. I've explained the concept of evidence too many times to reiterate again.
I do understand perfectly that's why I used the correct terminology regarding evidence , you didn't explain the concept of evidence as you don't seem to know the difference between circumstantial and inadmissible evidence , and yes please don't reiterate what you said as it will still be incorrect
So you accept only the first of the three definitions on the below site (where your definition was sourced from). What caused you to disregard the third definition as invalid?
I do appreciate that evidence can be circumstantial or inadmissible in court. The fact that circumstantial evidence contains the word evidence seems to imply that it is still evidence (albeit weak evidence).
So you say evidence is .....The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid........
Yes , agreed so what the fuck are you arguing about I've said 15 posts ago the argument for god as in evidence I've yet to see any , tell you what try proving in a court of law god exists and see if the evidence is admissible
There are three definitions on that link. As aforementioned multiple times you were operating using the first definition (1 "The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid"). I was using the third definition (1.2 "Signs or indications of something").
I think you missed the parts where I said I'm not a Christian and that I don't believe the bible is 100% true. I was stating that the biblical texts are evidence, no matter how weak, for the existence of the biblical God. We then proceeded to debate the definition of evidence ad nauseam.
The bible is used as evidence by Christians naturally as they have nothing else , I've yet to hear of a nonbeliever accepting it even as weak evidence .
God is an actual concept. He may or may not be real but he is an actual concept. Just like evolution. Evolution may or may not be real but it is an actual concept. You cannot experience evolution with your five senses but it is not nothing was.
God is not just an idea. He is something that is strongly believed by the vast majority of the world in some form or another. If you are to base God as just an idea that should not be believed then I see no reason to believe in evolution.
Then explain how a bunch of fossils in the ground, which could easily be a bunch of different species with no relation to each other, provide evidence for evolution.
The god of an atheist is it's own mind, and the atheist wishes it were the same as nothingness so it can get out of reality in death and not be judged by God.
Oh, didn't know this was Dermit's repeated foolishness or I would have stayed away.....no point in wasting time with a Hermit who is bound and determined to die.
