I'm really mad about something else right now, so I probably shouldn't be responding. I am not giving out some belief system, nor do I want to...
I think that regardless of whether God exists or not, to try to answer that question we must do something that we cannot do. How can a limited being...
Your argument (bio-computer) doesn't dispute my claim that I have a concept of an attributeless God. I say that it is part of our program to have a...
My 1 is an attributeless concept of God. If you reread the post just a little further up you can see why I think so. Brief: we have a concept of...
My next question is: If we have a concept that is in no way based on perception (and my running count is at 1), then where did it come from? If...
I think that you would have a hard time putting Groucho into that category. I've been somewhat of a die-hard fan for some time. He was much too...
Well, then I am a counter example. I am religious, and I don't think I'm much of anything. And since it only takes a handful of examples to prove a...
This idea of being special is crap. For anyone. I was born before I knew it, and I will die before I know it. So will you, regardless of what you...
If you take away all of the attributes of God, you end up with something that we cannot perceive, even in part. I don't want to get into a...
I think that if the thread isn't going as planned, the creator of the thread should have the option, with supervision, to destroy and start over....

Hmm...I'm not sure that we disagreed on anything, even though that was your tone and the architecture of your reply. I was responding to someone...
...or a concept of God, which seems to be the only concept that is not in some way tied to perception, is "born into" the individual, is an extension...
I don't think that it is an effective stategy for promoting a point of view at all. Instead, it is an effective stategy of making people forget what...
First, the adverse effects of a million marriages above and beyond the norm in a single year would be far from minimal, and you cannot know the...
First, thank you for the definitions, nameless. Those are exactly what I was talking about. You might be conceiving of something--since to write...
Even if there is no real self or I, there is definitely an awareness of I. My sense of self is limited to what I can perceive, the same as your...
Same-sex marriages affect the tax structure. Married couples are allowed to file jointly, and receive a tax break for it. Who knows how increasing...
Wow, a lot of that was way off-thread. I think that someone briefly touched on the relative: that language is a problem. I'm still not sure that I...
Separate names with a comma.
