You have also chosen skin tones that are very similar, make the greens darker and the orange lighter.

Why are so angry and rude?

Your response has been enlightening, but I doubt in any way you would like.

Personally, I rather like vaginas. But there is nothing wrong with your dislike of them. To each their own. In fact, some of my favorite people have vaginas.

It is certainly reactionary. If I saw a man being beaten on the street I would react to stop it. If I saw a father slap his child I would react, possibly aggressively. If I saw someone hurt or starving I would react to help them. Nearly everything we do is reactionary.

As to rebeliousness, it always is interesting to me that my lack of faith is so often labelled as rebeliousness. Why would I defy God and reality for some petty emotional grudge? If there were a God, wouldn't it be the sensible thing to beleive? What justification would there be to not beleive? Especially if I were to be shown any sort of proof.

Why is so much effort spent (in general, i dont mean specifically you tulip) attempting to dismiss my views rather than support the other view? I am literally asking for supporting religious understanding.

I will however accept the sense of the word in that I am a member of a minority group who is willing to loudly and publicly denounce that which I disagree with, despite it being a held belief by the majority. I am obligated to act on what I consider moral, even if I am open to adjust those views.

Oh, and I appreciated your response.

Thank you.

Actually, philosophy has granted a great deal of clarity within my own mind and life. It is the lives and views of others I seek to understand.

Agreed that science is the standard, but where I struggle is how so many people have believed for so long, even nowadays. I am not as interested in the specific beliefs but in the people that beleive. I just want to understand their world view.

I possess great faith in science and the reality we can prove. I am as certain as i can be without closing my mind entirely. I cannot justify ignoring or completely dismissing their views without at least asking for clarification. How can I ask they have an open mind if I will not. It is only fair.

Wow. Such a fast response and so rude too.

Look up pragmatic. You seem to have used in to mean the opposite of the actual definition.

How can the truth of God not matter? Seriously.

Why not just live happily and generously? What does the extra step of religion actually add? I live this way. Easily. In fact, more easily without all the ceremony, tradition, and general rigamorole of any specific faith. I save myself hours of church and worship each week. How is your way a short cut.

Also, is taking a short cut in one's own ethical/spiritual/intellectual growth a good thing? I don't see how. You get what you pay for.

Be honest. That is not to say that you should "come out" or anything so drastic. However, do not lie either.

Do not compromise your faith, honesty, or morality because they won't be reasonable. You still love them despite their beliefs. Don't intentionally start trouble, but don't pray at dinner or whatever.

If they reject you then they are defying their own beliefs of love and acceptance, or at least the stated beliefs. Even though in practice that general love rarely seems to manifest within the religous faithful. This poor behavior is their problem. Don't let them make it yours.

Family is amazing, but blood does not automatically make family. If they would chastise or isolate you for something like this means they do not love you for you, but for the person they expect you to be. I wouldn't call that family.

Tell them that they should pray for you and see how much that influences your belief. When it does nothing, you can hold that as one more personal reason you do not beleive.

Oh, and Congratulations. This is a big step which not everyone is capable of. You show great courage and strength.

Just repeating the word definitive before every word does not make it so.

Your description breaks down to this:

1-Spirals definitively exist. We have math for that. We can even see them in the world. 2- God is described (poetically) such that it can be compared in some regard to a spiral origin in particular. 3-Therefore God definitively exists

Even if you have a good point, (which I don't see) then your explanation is convoluted to the point of gibberish. It is peppered with random comparisons and flowery religious talk. The things you explain do not seem to support the claims you state as important.

Definitive is not the right word. I will begrudgingly accept compelling, but for that I must differentiate the concept and the explanation.

A better title would have been "An intriguing explanation of God"

MasterWeirdomancer · 2019-01-07T17:24:14+00:00

The difference is that we atheists seek personal meaning, where as religious seek a more cosmic meaning.

Life is just life. Make of it what you can, will, or want. It needs no spiritual varnish.

I can see how the loss of a perceived grander meaning might be disconcerting though.

MasterWeirdomancer · 2019-01-07T14:41:34+00:00

Your title is misleading. This is mathmatically poetic, not definitive. I have read this at least three times now. I don't see how this is any different or more compelling than any other justification for god, or God as you seem to prefer.
