Skedaddle - Did you even read the OP?
I'm not interested in the story Cofty, if you get me. I'm interested in YOUR CONCLUSION. What did you find?
Nope I don't get you.
What has dividing numbers by zero and rabbit holes got to do with the price of fish?
The OP is a knockdown argument against faith as a basis for belief in god.
The god of Jesus demands faith. Therefore there is no basis for belief in the god of christian theism.
Hi Cofty,
Yes I read the OP. I added to the conversation already and you commented with;
vague notion you call "absolution
and...
It is intellectually dishonest and patronising to pretend you can bypass the process of evidence. When I was a christian I often came across people who would assert they KNEW god was real or that they had MET god.
It is posturing. I didn't fall for it then or now.
and...
I suspect you meant to say "divide a number by zero" but what does maths have to do with the subject of faith Skedaddle?
So, you implied I was ''posturing'' because I had not provided evidence. As I've said already, we need to use maths and Physics for evidence of God. It's what scientists use.
The answer to dividing any number BY zero:))) is ''unknown''! Mathematicians and Physicists and readers of, know this.
The ''rabbit hole'' is in reference to the same metaphor as ''red pill, blue pill''. If you've been down it you should know that there is no end. Or is there?
Absolute is a word I'm using in the correct entire meaning of it as described in any definition, in any dictionary. Mathematicians and Physicists use it.
I was beginning the process of trying to give you evidence on terms you should know, if you ask for evidence. If you don't know the terms Cofty, then... sorry! I mistook you for a person who doesn't believe in God from a background of knowledge... specifically in Maths, Physics and Religious studies.
I answered on the topic of faith already.
Peace
