No you are being silly.Felasco wrote:I'm claiming that you must be on drugs if you think any reader of this forum is going to agree you aren't making a claim about gods and religion.chaz wyman wrote:Okay. You are making a serious claim. You are saying that I am making a claim. Please tell me what that claim is!
C'mon Chaz, this is silly...
Tell me exactly what my claim is!
If you have been actually reading the thread, then you ought to know.
I am definitely making a claim about religion, as you well know, but what that is not what this thread is about.
You have said that I am making a claim that I ma not entitled to make - so what is it?

Maybe you should run that by Fiasco - he is in the habit of assessing the quality of people's claims and deciding whether or not they are justified in making such a claim.

Same answer I gave you.chaz wyman wrote:You have spoken to God.

BTW, all of philosophy is in the habit of assessing the quality of people's claims and deciding whether or not they are justified in making such a claim. Just so you know...

You still haven't had the balls to tell me what my claim is, and why I am not allowed to make it.

Re: An argument for the existence of God
When you grow up in the world, maybe you will stop asking like a child does, why, why, why. Has it ever occurred to you that some questions are meaningless and some have no answer. That for some things there are only physical and material causes?attofishpi wrote:Most of us have spoken to God at some point...its when '''He''' responds that isn't so common.chaz wyman wrote:You have spoken to God.

Re: An argument for the existence of God
I will never stop questioning. Now that i know God exists, i am questioning How? It is not childish to question someone's faith...and that is all you have...a BELIEF that there is no God.chaz wyman wrote:When you grow up in the world, maybe you will stop asking like a child does, why, why, why.

When the complexity of the nature of reality around us is considered, it is far more reasonable to be agnostic than atheist.
You still dont consider that God could result from physical, material causes and the question pertaining to that to you is meaningless...you truly do have a closed mind.
Re: An argument for the existence of God
Yes, I understand, everybody is a fool and an idiot etc, except for Chaz.Then maybe you should learn a bit?
Oh, yes, I forgot, and nobody has any balls either, except for Chaz.You still haven't had the balls to tell me what my claim is, and why I am not allowed to make it.
You are free to make any claim you want. You know exactly what your atheist claims are Chaz, as it's you typing them over and over and over again.
C'mon Chaz, you're dragging threads like this in to the mud with all your endless compulsive reactivity. If somebody said "Chaz is wonderful, a genius!" you wouldn't be able to help yourself, and would call them a stupid fool etc.
It's a boring and repetitive routine you've got going there, and we all know you can do better.

You mind is completely closed off. You cannot 'know' there is a god, that is absurd and you have closed your mind off to other possibilities.attofishpi wrote:I will never stop questioning.

I agree you THINK that you know there is a God, but that is not the same as knowing it.

You are just making an arse of yourself, again and again.

Re: An argument for the existence of God
That's an interesting assertion, chaz! How do you decide that you truly know something, and what makes you think you only think you know something?chaz wyman wrote:... you THINK that you know there is a God, but that is not the same as knowing it.
Re: An argument for the existence of God
If you think about it, you know that you don't actually know anything...

Why do you THINK one cannot know there is a God?
I accept your consideration of other possibilities and initially (15 years ago) I was open to other possibilities...however over time '''it''' made '''itself''' very clear to me...that '''it''' was God.
