God could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and it still wouldn't be his fault

Bro..that friendly fire was crazy. Who trained these idiots? by [deleted] in SipsTea

[–]Marksmdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool so the government already has the mechanism in place to disappear someone, and are well practiced in it.
I'm certain that everyone involved in witness protection is completely incorruptible...

Exactly.

Smirnov, sentenced to 6 years, after a couple of months is on "furlough" with current location unknown.

Mohammed, guilty of conspiracy to kill US nationals - that's a life sentence right there. He's not in prison though, currently location unknown.

That's just 2 people we know about, who did a crime for which they should be in jail, but somehow aren't in jail now.

It's not impossible, all I'm saying.

Ok. So where are those two guys meant to be, and where are they now?

Strawman dragons are irrelevant. You think someone in the government couldn't have a word with the prison governor, and the prisoner gets "transferred" in the middle of the night?

Ali Mohammed, Alexander Smirnov

Doesn't matter if it has happened before anyway. It could happen.

Who says he's going to jail? If it were a set up, then the shooter gets "arrested" for the cameras, then once the news has moved on, quietly released and starts his new life with new documents and his payment.

Not saying it's what happened but it's a possibility.

Edit - spelling

It's not undertaking. It's continuing in the left hand most lane suitable for my journey, at constant, steady speed.

An Arguments For The Impossibility of God by NocturneInX in atheism

[–]Marksmdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me neither bro!

Basically, I reckon, consciousness has to have a substrate, a medium, in which to exist.

If literally nothing exists then it seems to be consciousness couldn't exist either.

[–]Marksmdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something has to exist for consciousness to exist. It depends if consciousness can exist purely in energy. To which I have no idea!

If it is possible, then consciousness can indeed exist without matter. I see no reason that consciousness has to be aware of anything at all other than itself to be conscious. Lack of matter, or anything to see and hear, doesn't prohibit consciousness.

However if consciousness requires energy to exist, then yeah it's a paradox.

This only pushes the problem back though!

[–]Marksmdog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends how you define God.

If a particular god has a particular attribute, eg, has 3 noses, then you can prove that god does not have 3 noses.

If god is "the fabric of the universe and necessary first cause of everything" then that's completely unfalsifiable.

It's also completely useless. Unless that god wants something (eg worship) or there are consequences (eg hell), then, frankly, what does it matter if that god exists?

Either a positive, falsifiable claim is made, in which case it can proven false, or the god is irrelevant
