Karleb:Then I would be a fool to not believe in odin. So, is there any truth you could open my eyes and brains to on this odin matter? |

Karleb:Then it would be foolishh for anyone to not believe in odin. Great news, we humans all have what it takes to know the truth that explains our reality. It's called brain. |

9inches:This is laughable! If you wish to know about Odin, Thor, Hela, Loki and the rest then befriend marvel and try to see the Avengers' movie and also watch out for Avengers - End Game. 3 Likes 1 Share |

LordReed:Is this an opinion or you know it to be an absolute truth? LordReed:How so? LordReed:I already answered that. Here 9inches: |

9inches: The mere fact that your god does not follow it's own standard is demonstration enough that there is in fact no such absolute standard. Your god has used lying and killing to further its aims and at some point even utilised human sacrifice. The very things it says it is against. And I asked a follow up question here: LordReed: |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 10:58pm On Apr 07, 2019 |
LordReed:What standard? Let's start with an example. Give me one. And I asked a follow up question here: LordReed:By using your senses, most importantly, the sense of reason. https://www.closertotruth.com/series/does-god-intervene-human-affairs#video-1981 https://www.closertotruth.com/series/how-could-god-interact-the-world |

Karleb:Why will they even consider that possibility? They are too close minded. Everyone thinks his/her religion is the "one true" religion. SMH. |

9inches: This is reason in the very page you linked: Every interview I have seen involving the topic of I strongly agree that it is preposterous to assume that mere humans can "know" god. I see no reason to believe they could even recognize GOD, when and if GOD ever appears right before them. Could a mere human really tell the difference between a being that could create a galaxy, but still fall far short of creating an entire cosmos consisting of billions of galaxies? I think not. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

9inches: Leviticus 19:11 King James Version (KJV) 11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another. 1 Kings 22:22 King James Version (KJV) 22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so. Your god said don't lie then proceeds to give orders to a spirit to go and lie. LoL! 1 Like |

LordReed: Lol. That's a simple one. Why would God who says he is "the Life" but smites people to death!! A God that kills innocent people including babies!!! ![]() |

9inches: Ah so special pleading, your god doesn't honour its own words. Such a contradiction. LoL |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 7:10am On Apr 10, 2019 |
LordReed:You notice you're making argument for God? |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 7:22am On Apr 10, 2019 |
9inches: The same way I can make a case for the existence of Harry Potter by quoting sections of the books and pointing out issues. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 1:36am On Apr 11, 2019 |
LordReed:I haven't used any book to make my argument for the existence of God. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 9:12am On Apr 11, 2019 |
9inches: Never said you did, however thats what you accusing me of and I show you how ridiculous that argument is. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 11:16am On Apr 11, 2019 |
LordReed:You lied. You introduced book (Harry Potter) first after I said you're making an argument for God. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 11:54am On Apr 11, 2019 |
9inches: Lied how? I quoted your bible and you say I am making an argument for the existence of god and I show you how absurd that is by contrasting it with Harry Potter so where is the lie? |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 1:05pm On Apr 11, 2019 |
LordReed:The lie is that there's nothing I said that's relatable to Harry Potter. LordReed:I did not do that, you alone did. My reply was based off of your conclusion from the bible. I don't really need bible to make an argument for the existence of God. The bible comes handy when trying to know who that God is. The bible is primarily for people faith. It would hardly make total sense to you since you're yet to pass the smelt (reason) test. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 4:52pm On Apr 11, 2019 |
9inches: Gosh! What about this is so hard for you to understand? I never accused you of making an argument for god, you accused me of making an argument for god because I quoted the bible and I said that is a ridiculous statement because if I quote Harry Potter does that mean I am making an argument for the existence of Harry Potter. Its so simple I am wondering how you lost the plot. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 7:18pm On Apr 11, 2019 |
LordReed:I "accused" you of making argument for God not because you quoted the bible but because you were making a moral argument. You assumed there's value in "honor", essentially that "honor" is GOOD. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 10:04pm On Apr 11, 2019 |
9inches: Huh? I make no such argument, your god fails to follow its own prescriptions so fails to demonstrate absolute morality. If morality was absolute then your god will absolutely never act contrary to it. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 10:17am On Apr 13, 2019 |
LordReed:The following are moral arguments. LordReed: LordReed: LordReed:Exactly my point! If morality isn't absolute then you would have no basis to make moral arguments. Your arguments would be merely your subjective opinions. You'd be wallowing in cognitive dissonance each time you make a moral argument. See how your reality is in contrast with what you verbalize? If God doesn't exist, right and wrong/good and evil would not exist either. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 10:25am On Apr 13, 2019 |
Danhumprey:Only a naive person would think such questions haven't been dealt with. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by Danhumprey: 10:41am On Apr 13, 2019 |
9inches:Oh? such questions have been dealt with? pray tell, what's the outcome? what was the answer to the question? satisfactory? |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 10:45am On Apr 13, 2019 |
9inches: LoL! Stop trying to twist my words to fit your narrative. Morality as essentially deriving from god is a presupposition which you fail to prove simply because you can't show any objective proof of how you know this god's characteristics. I made it clear I was tackling the idea that there is anything called absolute morality, a standard that even your god fails to adhere to then you twist my words to try to fit your own arguments. Don't be disingenuous, a real god wouldn't need such tactics to be shown to be real. 1 Like |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 11:53am On Apr 13, 2019 |
Danhumprey:Yes, the Church has been answering questions for centuries now. There's no single question you could ask that hasn't been covered. Try it! What question(s) do you have? Satisfactory? You have free will and reason, so your choice. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by 9inches(m): 12:03pm On Apr 13, 2019 |
LordReed:I didn't TWIST your words, I USED them to make my point. You were making a moral argument, which means you believe some things are good while some are wrong. And my argument is, unless you don't believe hypocrisy (by God) is wrong, you are proving the existence of a moral absolute. You deny absolute morality while you act like it exists. That is proof right there. Even our argument here points to the fact that absolute Talk about characteristics, the God I know is not a "God of truth", he is Truth itself; he's not a "God of love", he's Love itself; he's not a "God of goodness", he's Good itself; he's not a "God of justice", he's Justice itself. His character is the absolute/ultimate level of these attributes that you and I desire. That's the argument from desire. |
Re: My Thoughts And Questions About Religion by LordReed(m): 2:00pm On Apr 13, 2019 |
9inches: Before we go on define Absolute Morality. So if I desire the ultimate candy that means there's an ultimate candy god? |
