Fallacies about Faith

peace to you!.

this thread is about false things (some) atheists think theists believe.

this is not a thread about false things that atheists think about theists.

Adamah...

You've proven beyond a reasonable doubt that not only do you do not understand the basic fallacies used in contemporary logic, but you also didn't pay attention in your Junior High School literature class (never-mind bothering to take a course in Latin!) to know what 'tu' means in Latin, eg when Julius Caesar asked the question, 'Et TU, Brutus?" after someone who he thought was his friend had betrayed him and stabbed him, along with all the other Senators?

'Tu' in Latin means, 'too'.

('Et' means 'you', FWIW)

You have it backwards...

From http://www.latin-dictionary.net

et
conjunction
Definitions:
(et ... et = both ... and)
also, even
and, and even

tu, tui
noun
declension: undeclined
Definitions:
you, thee

or should she abdicate for lack of action / leadership?.
Viviane

If you want to know if God (presuming one exists) is worthy of respect, just check and see if he/she/it behaves as a better or worse parent than you?

It's amazing how, when confronted with the holes in their stories, logic or thinking, they don't step back and say "Hmmm.... let me re-think this for a minute". Instead, they just get a bigger shovel and keep digging.

It's really easy to determine if you, as a person, are more moral than God. In any given situation, like warning people about the Tsunami, pretend it's your children that would die, be harmed, etc., and ask yourself what you would do.

Millions die in Natural disasters - God is doing nothing. Do I adopt Anthropomorphism to him?

i do not think god is a'morphic.

god is not human, so hence he does not possess human characteristics, to know god better and to understand him better i study science.

there has been a new discovery of strange signals picked up from black holes and distant supernovae suggest there's more to space-time than einstein believed.

It amazes me how proud some people are of their ignorance and lack of education and wear it like a badge of honor. Out of the box thinkers aren't undecuated and don't wear it like a badge of honor, they know their subject very very well, that's what enables them to think out of the box. It's irony that the uneducated and ignorant talk about being out of the box thinkers without realizing the education is what they need to see, understand and make the leap forward.

Because, Cofty, they have nothing but an ambiguous book and their feelings to go on. I suppose it would be nice if they could perform some type of independently verfiable experiment, like this one...

That's a big giant IF.

I've not found a convincing reason to keep believing in the Bible.

I watched part of it and all I can is ... wow. I felt like I was at an assembly again, accusing others of not being true christians, talking about knocking on doors, the need to be saved because we are all essentially dead sinners.

No thanks!

This thread seems like what would happen if Ken Ham, Dorothy Murdock and Zercharia Sitchin got drunk in a bar, had sex and managed to have a 3-way baby. And the parents name Icke and Velikovsky as the god-parents.
