@drakenblackknight @NickEast @bookstodon @libraries @librarians @publiclibraries @reading LOL But Jolene is basically a nice person so she just has to guilt trip her!

@drakenblackknight @NickEast @bookstodon @libraries @librarians @publiclibraries @reading I don't think that was my assumption. I assumed that appealing to Jolene's better nature works (please don't take my man) but I am not so sure it would work with the Z or the X. Not sure Y tho LOL 😜

I find myself not understanding the concept of atheism. Who wants to explain it to me in a coherent way for a beginner? With a metaphysical substantiation please, if that is at all possible.

@cbontenbal @philosophy I just find the idea of an all knowing all powerful entity who behaves like a petulant egomaniac too ridiculous to entertain.

@cbontenbal @philosophy How does that follow?

I totally believe that the love of money is the root of all evil.

I do not believe that the first people Adam and Eve had two sons who went forth and populated the world.

I absolutely believe in the value of education and the use of logic.

I do not believe there is an all powerful being judging us. I believe the universe is a great big chemical reaction that does not care and entropy always wins.
But, here on earth, I believe when we do good the world is better and when we do bad the world is worse. I believe at times it is hard to know what "The right thing" is.
And I think religion is one of the worst things human beings invented. And probably did so to enhance their lust for wealth and power.

@cbontenbal @davidesalerno68 @pauld @economics @smithkm @philosophy Everything is physical. Matter and energy, photons and electrons. There is nothing else. You can not survive without air and water no matter howspiritually advanced you think you are.

This does not negate empathy and feelings and the soulfulness of great art. But all those things are physical. Not bestial, physical chemical interactions.

@pauld @cbontenbal @davidesalerno68 @jordan_kendrick @economics @smithkm @philosophy Does God have a penis? How can god be he? How can an all knowing all powerful perfect entity produce such a flawed universe? Such flawed beings?

@cbontenbal @pauld @davidesalerno68 @jordan_kendrick @economics @smithkm @philosophy Referring to God as "he," denotes the patriarchal idea of god.

@jordan_kendrick @cbontenbal @pauld @davidesalerno68 @economics @smithkm @philosophy In English, "It" would denote a non human being and "They" would denote a multitude of entities. I don't think you all get to be lingistically and philosophically specific in the discussion and then slur over the gender of the god pronoun! Uhm! I am telling!!! 😜

@nowan @cbontenbal @philosophy I think you mean Judeo Christian.

@mkhoury @Jakra @cbontenbal @philosophy @davidesalerno68 The universe is neither conscious nor caring. It is ruled by entropy. Some human beings are conscious and/or caring. Our entire existence is a battle against entropy. But entropy always wins.

@lack @EdwardJCornwell @msteenhagen @Drew @philippsteinkrueger @spencer @cbontenbal @philosophy If I accept "I think therefore I am" the fact that things I do not think or believe or imagine occur, seems proof that there is something other than me out there.

@tetranomos @lack @EdwardJCornwell @msteenhagen @Drew @philippsteinkrueger @spencer @cbontenbal @philosophy While the I that is thinking is thinking it must exist seems brilliant.
The non sequitur that God Is Good seems fear of being burned at the stake more than anything else.
