It was ironic (on my part), but so be it. Boring.

Then you're operating on pure mythology and incorrect reporting. This is not at all the situation described by the Bible. But that's a topic you can find out about yourself. https://www.gotquestions.org/Satan-in-hell.html Do you think mythologies can be correct? Although our actions are determined ...

So...you don't really know. It's just that, so far as you can remember, "everyone I know" says there's a Hell, and Satan lives in it? And you think that they came to that by "thinking about it"? I just want to get your explanation straight here, before I comment. Yes, somesing l...

"Oh well"? No, don't move on as if I didn't ask. I meant it as a serious question: who told you he was ? Everyone I know and who isn't too lazy to think about it. So I could ask in return, where did you know that he is not there (just don't talk about the Bible as if you were just an acce...

Strictly speaking, we (our conscious self) do not exist in time, but only at a specific moment in time. Everything that "was" before this moment in time exists only as memories, which are not always fixed in a clear mind. The future exists only hypothetically, in the context of fantasies o...

Oh well, you claim that he is not a lord, but you do not deny that he resides there. So you think he is there? And if yes, then in what capacity?

Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:15 pm Strange question. It assumes a spiritual entity is physical. Can't be answered, because not coherent.

Yes, but you know for sure that he is not in hell. What about this statement of yours? Don't only spiritual beings live in hell? And who lives in it? Maybe there is no hell at all?

Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2024 4:00 pm Well, being uneducated is overrated, I'm going to suggest.

But what about the devil?

So you've never been to any form of public or private education? That's not how they operate there. They assume that what others have written might contain knowledge that one's personal experience cannot give one. They can accept whatever they want, just like me. And yet, where do you think the dev...

...your belief that science is an offshoot of Christianity? Well, I know the history. Verifiably, it is. Science is only a tool meant to minimize the subjective component in the understanding of facts. Not that religion couldn't use it, it's just not clear for what purpose. Is it not enough for you...

What's "normal" about a person claiming to be a Christian and yet insisting on believing something he should know that the Bible says isn't true? You'll have to explain that to me. It is not characteristic of normal people to believe what is written, but rather to interpret it according t...

Understanding morals, as well as understanding anything else, is of course clearly subjective. However, this study is rooted in objective factors, in the relationships of natural laws. And the extent to which our actions, which are determined by subjective understanding, will correspond to these nat...

I cannot understand you at all. If something is specific, I can try to explain it. Well, if nothing is comprehensible, then it will have to be left as it is, because it is possible that my subjective understanding is too different from yours to form a sufficient correspondence for mutual understand...

That is in my dictionary. Objectivity is based on reason. Subjectivity is based on opinion, bias, emotions, and the like. I see a major flaw in that. Subjectivity is formed in consciousness through reason - it is the reason that interprets objectivity (electrical impulses), including emotions, form...

I'm sorry...this isn't making sense. Well, unlike normal religious people (the same ones whose faith you like to ignore) , who think that the devil lives in hell, you claim that the devil has no home (well, at least it doesn't in hell) - the thoughts arise, if the devil doesn't have a home, then ma...
