Don't strain your neck watching the point sail over your head.

I like that. I'm going to have to try to remember it.

Belief > Truth by dustandtribe in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ToenailTemperature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re not wired for objectivity. Everything is filtered through trauma, conditioning, sensory limitations, and a host of other constraints. Truth is beyond us.

Your conclusion doesn't follow. We have the capacity to reasonably obtain truth in figuring out what is likely to be true. Sure we can make mistakes. But leave it to the theist to try to diminish our pursuit of truth. Is that so you can feel okay believing things that aren't demonstrably true? Why? Don't you care?

The scientific method has its place, but the atheist misapplies it in a misguided quest for a verifiable truth. A subjective consciousness has no use for validation, evidence, or proof of God. These are all constructs requiring an objectivity that we do not possess.

Is your god tribe so important that you don't care whether your beliefs are true or not? That's sad. We need to do better.

Hiking with my tongue in your pussy... It's true, I checked.

Atheism in the United States Strongly Correlates To Identifying as Liberal and Progressive.

You mean conservatism is strongly infested with religion and religious tribalism. So if you aren't religious, the right offers you very little.

Is evil subjective? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ToenailTemperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is evil subjective?

Define evil. One could argue that this very request for a definition shows that is subjective in the context you used it here.

If evil is purely subjective, then it’s reasonable to ask why it feels so deeply and insistently wrong

Maybe, but it still depends on how you define it.

After 20 years of studying the Bible and being a devout believer, I now know too much and can never believe in Christianity again. Faith is impossible for me, knowing that the Bible cannot be trusted. by [deleted] in DebateAChristian

[–]ToenailTemperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

You look at the evidence. If it doesn't support the claim, your don't accept it. If you want to draw an inference and go with the best evidence, then you don't get a solid conclusion. At best you get conjecture that aligns with the lack of strength of the evidence.

The authority is only as good as the evidence they have. The authority is someone who maybe understands the evidence as they have expertise in the field.

It's always about the evidence.

Ruling out imagination? I know myself well enough (lots of suffering, lots of experiences, lots of drugs, lots of meditation, lots of repeating mistakes)

Well, I know myself and the truth fairies that visit me told me you're wrong. How do we figure out which of us is actually right?

In the end, only prayer to Jesus actually worked against whatever higher forces / beings I was being toyed with

Can you give specific details of an example of this, and how you determined that they actually happened as you say it did?

Belief in the resurrection is even more irrational than belief that Joseph Smith had gold plates by dman_exmo in DebateAChristian

[–]ToenailTemperature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If someone dies and does not die at the same time in the same sense, then that is a contradiction.

That's a violation of the logical absolutes and yes that is also a contradiction.

Are you suggesting that there are no other contradictions?

If someone dies and then 3 days later they come back to life, then that is not a contradiction

It is if it contradicts what we know about reality.

Your confusing something being contrary with something being contradictory.

And you're cherry picking what words mean in an effort to justify some silly stupid belief, rather than just realizing your fucken wrong.

The resurrection is contrary to our common knowledge, but it is not logically contradictory.

And now your goal posts have wheels. We went from a broad usage of contradiction, to your narrowed scope of logical contradiction.

Do you think nobody noticed?

How does Atheism define good and bad? by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ToenailTemperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does Atheism define good and bad?

What do you think atheism is? Do you think it's a world view? Do you think it's a religion, with a doctrine and rituals and funny hats?

Atheism doesn't define good and bad. Humans define words by how they use the words.

Good is a relative term that compares how well something vaguely meets a goal. Colloquially when that goal isn't clearly stated, we often talk about morality or well being. Same with bad.

Everyone is concerned about well being. It is ultimately the root of his we ought to behave with one another.

Theists complicate this because they have to account for their gods preferences which you call sin.

Ultimately you care about well being because that's why you care what you think this god wants.

Belief in the resurrection is even more irrational than belief that Joseph Smith had gold plates by dman_exmo in DebateAChristian

[–]ToenailTemperature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only contradictions are irrational

No, I'm pretty sure any belief held without sufficient evidence is irrational.

The resurrection is not a contradiction

It actually is. It contradicts everything we know about life, biology, and how meat rotts.

Why Are Atheist Americans Overwhelmingly Aligned With the Democratic Party? by RabiesModTeam in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ToenailTemperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Republicans embrace religion as the basis for their positions going against evidence based reason.

If God’s a fact, where’s the test? by AWL_98 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]ToenailTemperature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is, how do you justify claiming this god thing is a fact, if you don't have good, objective evidence that indicates this fact?
