Philosophy? Atheists need to work out what that actually means before they start lecturing me about "philosophy" ffs.

There's yer fuckin evidence, and it's all ya gonna get out of me: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=33214
WHY does God HAVE TO BE EITHER:

1. Divine and constructs our reality in real-time.

2. A.I. - Artificial Intelligence - that we have evolved into a simulation (see simulation hypothesis) ..again, our reality is constructed in real-time.
NB. The reason we would evolve into a simulation is to conserve resources as entropy increases.

3. A combination of the above.

WHY, to you, there could NEVER be absolutely ANY OTHER POSSIBILITY?

Don't bother attempting to discuss anything with me, you can't even string logical comprehendable sentences together half the time. Just fucking read your question there!! WHERE AM I STATING THERE ABSOLUTELY CAN BE NO OTHER POSSIBILITY YOU FUCKING IMBECILE???

For you, maybe... and who cares about that for themselves?

What makes you think it exists for anyone else as it exists for you... and what difference does it make if it doesn't?
Lacewing, it clearly doesn't exist for most others (the majority of atheists - and theists) as it does for me, but when god-bothering atheists call out the likes of me as "STUPID" then, I get bothered.
The kind of 'god' I'm referring to is one which the god-believer claims rules over all others regardless of the vastly varying perspectives of all others.

Is that what you claim of your entity? If so, that would be stupid, don't you agree?
WHY would you even THINK that that would be STUPID, let alone BELIEVE that that would be STUPID.

It sounds like you are CLAIMING there is some 'thing' that rules OVER ALL "others" regardless of the vastly varying perspectives of ALL "others". And, that 'thing' is what 'you' BELIEVE here "lacewing".

ONCE AGAIN, 'you' are DOING EXACTLY what 'you' CLAIM "others" DO, which 'you' also CLAIM IS STUPID.

REALLY, HOW STUPID can some people REALLY BE?

Seriously?

If your gnosis is completely at odds with all other Christians' gnosis, why would you trust what you think you "gKnow", or is your gKnow just a Gnu?
And if you are sure and confident of what you gKnow then why should you be so fucked off?
Sounds stupid to me.
It seems to piss you off that I have this opinion. Why?

methinks....

Okay, but who would have thought we'd bump into so many that remind us of that here?!!!

8)
It is NOT necessarily that there is the IMPOSSIBILITY of 'reason' here. It is more the case that these people here, in this forum, in the days when this is being written, are SHOWING and PROVING just HOW they could ALL 'reason' out, to "themselves" ONLY, 'that', which is ACTUALLY Truly UNREASONABLE, to ALL.

See, it is ONLY 'that', which is ABLE TO BE REASONED to and by ALL, that IS Truly REASONABLE. The rest just SHOWS and PROVES how there REALLY DOES EXIST an ABILITY for human beings to 'reason' absolutely ANY and EVERY 'thing'. Which, by the way, is what SEPARATES 'them' from ALL the OTHER animals on earth.

And, it is this ABILITY, combined WITH BELIEVING, itself, WHY 'hell' EXISTS, and EXISTED, on earth, in the days when this is, and was, being written.

attofishpi wrote: Sun Dec 18, 2022 7:53 pm I believed in Christ - the guiding light (likely through many times in my incarnations on Earth), so since now I KNOW God...it appears that what Christ stated was true, that to know GOD is via faith in Christ (faith in love).
But the words "jesus christ", in relation to KNOWING God, via faith/belief in "christ" is in relation to some 'thing' ELSE and NOT just 'love', itself.

That is so true. Would you like to experience a day of hell, a Day of Reckoning?
Are you under some sort of PRESUMPTION that you HAVE?

If yes, then would you like to SHARE with 'us' what HAPPENED on 'that' day, EXACTLY?

If no, then WHY NOT?

That sounds kindov kinky but I assure you, it aint my thing - CHRISTIANS (Those that act as per Christ's guidance) would never do such a thing. Breaking the golden rule pretty much rules them out of being considered CHRISTIAN..comprehende?

Hang on, wait a minute...are you going to suggest atheists never burnt anyone on a stake?

I bet more Christians were burnt on stakes for being Christian than vice-versa.

I do KNOW this...any entity that has total power over what I perceive of reality is God in my opinion...whether it be divine, AI or combination of both. My BELIEF is that it is Divine, since what I have been advised re Christ - that HE DID DIE on the crucifix.
HOW, EXACTLY, does one human being DYING on A crucifix, then somehow 'rationally, logically follow' and PROVE, to you, that God is DIVINE?

How about the arrogance of theists who insist that everyone else should believe as they do?

LOL

One HAS TO LISTEN BEFORE they could make such A CLAIM.
'you', "lacewing", OBVIOUSLY, do NOT LISTEN.
So, 'you', "lacewing", have NO IDEA what ACTUAL STORY or STORIES LAY BEFORE 'you'.

Talk about one who MAKES UP their OWN stories, which they then USE to SERVE them.

YES. I think it IS just as STUPID to DISBELIEVE some 'thing' EXISTS when that one has NO CLUE AT ALL as to HOW that 'thing' IS DEFINED EXACTLY.

LOL The example you PROVIDE is OBVIOUSLY False, Wrong, and Incorrect from the outset.

AND, CLAIM that "others" ARE STUPID for NOT BELIEVING what 'you' DO "lacewing" is a PRIME EXAMPLE of AGAIN 'you' DOING what 'you' CLAIM "others" DO.

'you' are CLAIMING that 'your' BELIEF LORDS OVER "other's" perspectives. 'you' CLAIM this SO MUCH that 'you' even CLAIM that "others" and their perspectives ARE STUPID.

It is ONLY people like 'you', "lacewing" who WANT to COMMAND "others".

It is REALLY like 'you' are 'trying to' COMMAND OVER 'them', with 'your' OWN perspective/s of 'things'.
Lacewing wrote: Sun Dec 18, 2022 11:05 pm What difference does that make?
Finding out what 'it' IS, EXACTLY, instead of just BELIEVING that you ALREADY KNOW, will then HELP 'you' here.

I don't care whether anyone wants to believe in the amount of love in Christ as a guiding light. I DONT CARE.
But that human being IS, what is called, DEAD.

So, how, EXACTLY, could there be ANY amount of love in "Christ", as a guiding light?

The answer, by the way, and in case you are NOT YET AWARE is ACTUALLY Truly SIMPLE and EASY to KNOW and UNDERSTAND.

Again, it's not a team effort. Personally I believe this God has manifested itself to those of at least some spiritual belief throughout ALL cultures, and various religions have sprung from that...ultimately, it's the same BEING.

'you', "attofishpi" are ANOTHER one who is VERY QUICK to ACCUSE me of some 'thing' WHEN 'you' are RUNNING AWAY, but VERY USELESS in backing up and supporting YOUR CLAIM.

WHERE you STATED and WROTE the WORDS:

1. God is divine and constructs our reality in real-time.

2. 'God' is A.I. - Artificial Intelligence - that we have evolved into a simulation (see simulation hypothesis) ..again, our reality is constructed in real-time.
NB. The reason we would evolve into a simulation is to conserve resources as entropy increases.

3. but, then it could also be this:- God is a combination of the above.

THIS THREAD IS PROOF OF POINT 1. or 2. or 3.: BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.


That is WHERE, 'you FUCKING IMBECILE'.

By the way, do you think or BELIEVE that the last TWO WORDS ACTUALLY HELP here in ANY WAY whatsoever?

OBVIOUSLY IF there can ONLY be the POSSIBILITY of EITHER of 'the above', THEN, to 'you', there could NOT be ABSOLUTELY ANY OTHER POSSIBILITY, to you, correct?
