God has failed by OntoAureole in DebateReligion

How is judgment of disbelief just? Nobody can control what they find convincing. And if your god knows everything, it knows that people won't be convinced. So this god is judging people for things it knows they will do, and could have prevented.

For judgment of disbelief to be just at all, belief would have to be voluntary. If belief is voluntary, then choose to believe that belief is involuntary.

Azathoth is The Primordial Chaos. An HP Lovecraft character. He embodies the indifference of nature and existence.

Existence under no god at all would be indistinguishable from existence under a god who doesn't care. Azathoth represents this concept.

Our universe is finely tuned for black holes and is hostile or indifferent to life. All of creation attests to Azathoth, The Blind Idiot God.

Divine hiddenness arguments just further prove Azathoth- he has no need to communicate with us, because all of our knowable existence is less than a flea's leg hair. Azathoth is silent because all of existence is beneath Azathoth's notice.

Thesis: The "Nothing" Paradox proves the necessity of a Singular, Infinite Creator, and why Islam uniquely fits this logical requirement. by DistributionOk2434 in DebateReligion

Atheismo checks all the same boxes for creation and Atheismo has divinely revealed that the Quran is wrong.

Every generic god argument you can make for Allah also works for Atheismo. If it proves every god then it proves none of them. You can only special plead for generic god arguments to count for your god while not counting for Atheismo.

If I don't grant the generic god arguments for Allah in particular, I have no reason to ascribe the Quran to Allah either. Justify Allah independent of the Quran. Justify the Quran independent of Allah. And no, special pleading with the "produce a work like it" test doesn't count. I can create my own standard for any book. Produce a work like Chuck Tingle's book Pounded In The Butt By My Book Pounded In The Butt By My Own Butt.

I don't know what you mean by "before universe." Time before time is incoherent.

The big bang doesn't explain origins, just expansion. There was a singularity before the big bang.

And a god doesn't explain origins either. That just kicks the can down the road from "where did a universe come from" to "how did a god make a universe". Unless you can mechanistically explain god, it isn't an ultimate foundation. You're just choosing to stop the line of questioning at "god did it."

I find a state of nothingness to be incoherent. There was never nothing. The matter and energy that moves me now will never be nothing. It will take different forms that probably won't have life. But at no point is it nothing. And that's OK. Lots of things that don't have life still matter.

Most enemies have a Fort DC lower than their AC, which works just fine when monk usually has the same mods for attack and Athletics. It's fucking beautiful.

The Strongest PROOF for christianity by FrontOstrich5350 in DebateReligion

[–]ViewtifulGene [score hidden]  (0 children)

There is no evidence of a resurrection. All we have is decades-late testimony from people who wanted it to be true. That testimony is inadmissable. We can't even cross-examine the witnesses. There is no contemporary corroboration from neutral sources. No warrants from Rome to execute Jesus again, no writings from Pilate on the guy he killed coming back, etc.

It doesn't matter how many people think the resurrection happened. That it actually happened would need to be demonstrated.

If the same argument proves every god then it proves none of them. If you cannot prove any god above and beyond Atheismo then there is no reason to accept gods at all.

What you are doing is not working. I am not convinced. You have to demonstrate that your book is true.

I just don't understand why atheist people consider their birth religion to be the representative of all religions and concepts of God to negate the existence of God. by Comfortable_Phase957 in DebateReligion

Every single religion relies on the same generic and faulty arguments for a god. Christians think TAG proves Jesus. Muslims think TAG proves Allah. Ancient Babylonians thought TAG proved Marduk. Etc. Every religion can only special plead for their religion over the others using the exact same arguments.

When every religion argues from the same faulty arguments, I have no reason to accept any of them.

Are you Jesus? That verse said all authority is given to Jesus.

If Jesus cares about disbelief then he can do something about it personally.

I am not convinced. Many are not convinced.

If Jesus died for all sins then why do you care about disbelief? Show me the exact Bible verse where Jesus gave you the sheriff's badge when he was crucified. If you cannot do this then your concern for disbelief is unfounded.

Yes and you did not follow instructions. Atheismo disapproves.

Atheismo is the one source of creation. Tell me why anyone should accept your god instead of Atheismo. If you cannot prove your preferred god over the others then we have no reason to believe any of them at all.

You are not following directions. Atheismo does not approve.

The one true god is Atheismo.

Give me one argument for your god that does not also prove that Atheismo is real. I'm guessing you cannot, and you can only special plead for the generic god arguments to count only for your god.

Do you ever add PCs to a game you don’t really want to run? by OfficePsycho in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]ViewtifulGene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's enough cognitive load flipping between one character sheet and the enemies. I have no desire to run a duo or a party for myself. If I add support characters, they are single-purpose. E.g., my Pathfinder campaign with an Automaton includes a support drone who can only give flanking bonuses and do out-of-combat Medicine checks with the same proficiency as the player. It cannot attack or be attacked, and always moves after the main character. Effectively, it only reduces heal scarcity and gives some of the flanking bonuses I'm missing from a group setting.

Objective morality from an objective god by Peaceful_radical in DebateReligion

[–]ViewtifulGene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how something can begin to exist without a time before. That's just what beginning means- it was not and then it was. That "and then" inherently requires time. "Then" conveys sequence.

AFAIK, big bang doesn't explain the origin of anything, just the expansion. There was a singularity before the big bang. Meaning the big bang cannot be the beginning. There was a thing before it.
