That’s why I’m an atheist: god is so ill-defined as to not exist. It’s called theological noncognitivism.

Please explain to me how anyone can define it? We all have the same limited brain – our own fault doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. I REPEAT – WHETHER GOD EXISTS OR NOT DOESN’T DEPEND ON HOW WE DEFINE IT, WHAT’S IN THE BIBLE, OR OTHER PUNY HUMAN BRAIN OPINIONS. I REPEAT, YOU DON’T KNOW ****, AND NEITHER DO I, AND NEITHER DOES A RELIGIOUS PERSON.

But if you make your judgments and think you know the answer that way then it’s no surprise you’re an atheist as you are lacking the same logical skills as religious people, but in the opposite way.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

That’s true, but it shouldn’t stop debate or research on the topic. That fact is true at this point in time, but we may find tangible evidence at some point in time.

Which is why I’m agnostic and not ATHEIST. Because ATHEISTS bumume everything there is to know has already been decided.

Thank you and goodnight.

I’m not an atheist either ^^ (Agnostic)

I just like to argue =P

No they do not.

You position bumumes knowledge of the existence or lack thereof of God. Tell me how this isn’t claiming to know everything.

I never thought I’d say this – I agree.

We can’t know absolutely whether there is some type of God or not.

My arguments beforehand were towards any particular, specific belief.

Sure we can. If the claimed attributes of the thing preclude it from existing, it can’t exist, can it?

How do god’s claimed attributes prevent it from existing?

Usually god is said to be supernatural or spirit. Well, have those been shown to exist? No. Blatant question-begging.

Usually god is said to have created the universe. That begs the question of existence apart from the universe and that the universe was created.

In several traditions god is omnimax. Omni- attributes are an end-run around the concept of definition.
