Just catching up on some missed reading

I thought Pythagorasians worshipped meat pies made from dinosaurs?

Who is vouching for God....you?

 

Why do you think there is the need to vouch?

Jan.

What assertion?

jan.

 

That I have a busy toll-bridge which I'll sell you really cheap. Believe me!!!!!!

Or that God is all powerful, but just can't handle and always needs more money.

What assertion are you talking about?

Why not?

WHY believe it?

If everyone could know there are no gods, everyone would be atheist.
IF that quote is accurate, he did not understand the word atheist any better than you do.

People who claim to have a natural connection to God routinely post falsehoods about other people, and bear false witness to the beliefs of others, and misrepresent aspects of physical reality, and argue in bad faith on science forums, and so forth.

The OP of this thread is fairly typical, in that regard.

 

What's false about the OP, in your eyes, again?

Interesting article. What are your thoughts?.

Jan.

 

Why would jump straight to "I do not believe you", when I didn't ask if you believed me, plus, what I wrote, wasn't something that required belief, as justification.
I think you're reaction was a knee-jerk reaction, because you felt you had to respond, but didn't know quite what to say.

jan.

 

I can just as well claim (assert)that you are not a Theist and that "theists might not exist", because what you believe to be God is in reality the Mathematical Imperatives by which the universe was created and is still evolving.
Simple and straight forward and clearly obvious and testable.....

I feel very connected to the universal functions, but it is in a mathematical sense, nothing spiritual about it. I am a construct of and by Universal values and functions.
I was a professional accountant, a professional musician, and have an associate degree in architectural and mechanical drafting, all intimately connected to Mathematics.

Do you see....? You are surrounded by mathematics, both in space and everywhere you look.
If you do not feel connected to that you are misinterpreting your spiritual emotions of your natural connections to mathematical values and functions.

 

The problem is, you have to deny God, to do that.

If that was the case, the ''mystery'', would no longer be.
Yet we don't see scientists claiming the mystery to be solved.

Yeah, I see.
So what?

jan.

 

You see a mathematical universe, but you don't believe in a mathematical universe, yet you quote an assertion that actually I believe in a unseen and unknowable deity named God and then dare to defend it?
I call that odd, if not a little sociopathic, if not outright dangerous.
Suppose your God tells you to kill me? Mathematics never has and never will tell me to kill you.

 

As far as you're aware, there is no God.
That is as far as you can go. So now you're simply venting your frustration, because you cannot actually express why you identify as atheist.
I think you've reached the end of any expression that could be called, reasonable, rational, or logical.

Mathematics here

Don't you tell ME what I can and cannot tell you

Write out 100 lines

1+1=6 and I will not piss off mathematics
