Re: Law of Identity
An atheist tried to tell me that the law of identity proves that God doesn't exist if He is infinite. I tried to 'see' what he was talking about but to no avail. Has anyone else heard this? I put the ball in his court. I would say...atheist find me reason growing somewhere. If he says it's natural,...

Once the fall happened.
Once the fall happened, the burden of sin fell upon man and man was weighed down with personal endeavors. Later on in the Bible, the book of revelation, i believe, it says a new universe will be created and God will create new laws for us (i believe physical laws, like flight). What i wanna know is ...

Re: If evolution is true
I think you might be thinking of Atheism rather than evolution. Or possibly nihilism or metaphysical naturalism. Evolution though? That doesn't imply any of the above. It seems to have a purposeless designer though. (evolution) kind of like Brahman. He doesn't care. He's impersonal Also, think abou...

Re: What are other people of dif. relig. "feeling" once the
First off, Islam worships the same god as Judaism and Christianity, just not Jesus as the son of God. In Islam, Jesus is a prophet who preached the word of God. I'm currently having a sleepover, so we have a few opinions to share. Harold - "I say goodnight to the Universe. And it...feels like ...

If evolution is true
So i've been thinking about this a lot lately. If atheism is true, we're nothing more than car engines. Our brains are governed by physical laws/biological laws and "choice," is just an illusion. If evolution is true, it seems like nobody wins. We're just on a cosmic deathbed heading for e...

I don't understand all of the Matt D/Slick debate
In the Matt Dillahunty/Matt Slick debate I get really really confused on certain things... alright so Matt Slick (the Christian) Matt Dillahunty (the atheist) Matt Slick states "truth statements can only be made with a mind," and Matt Dillahunty says "in a universe where no minds exis...

Re: Certain Bible verses I can't get past
Lately I've been questioning God and his character. In fact, I registered here just for that. This site seems pretty awesome and I have a few questions. First, let me state that I am a Christian and have been for the past 7 years or so. I go through my ups and downs, mainly with lust (towards women...

Re: If there is no God
It isn't a fallacy if the conclusions we would expect based on human nature and desire don't match, to such a degree, the universe we observe. CS Lewis made great arguments when he said that should a world exist with no meaning, we ought not to find that the universe had no meaning in the first pla...

Re: If there is no God
You're basically committing the Appeal to Consequences fallacy. Not that I necessarily agree with all your observations about atheism (for example, I do not think that, on atheism, the meaning of life is an "illusion", it is merely not objective ). what i mean by illusion is "whateve...

Re: Talking to god
Do you believe that god does not want us to attept to explain this amazing creation that he has made? I mean the universe is a truly amazing and beatiful thing, I believe god wants us to explore it and attempt to explain it. However I do agree with you on the topic of we rationalize to much, we mus...

American History X
Has anybody ever seen this movie? It's really deep. It's a movie with a lot of cussing/racial slurs, but it still has a very good message at the end. It's my 2nd favorite movie of all time.

Re: (((Christians and Atheists)))
Atheists are sad, angry people for reasons which are misguided. I believe at the heart of the issue, this is very true, they only have a pessimistic value of life. You call the world beautiful, they call it devastating and only beautiful because of what science and other men have done to make this ...
