@Boonatty1@prochoicenun If you only perceive in absolute binaries then you are a robot! The only absolute is mathematics, everything else is perception and it is gray, one day it will look black, later it can look white, so on and so on. Wishing reality to fall into either 1 or 0 is to suffer
@ronnieagabajr Holy mother of all nasty reads! I applaud you, how did this not cross my mind. You are so right! No wonder they are so passionate about it, they are denying a part of themselves 🤯
If homosexuality is a choice, then all sexuality is a choice.
If all sexuality is a choice, then you chose to be straight.
And if you chose to be straight… congratulations, you’re gay.
Anyone who insists homosexuality is a choice is almost certainly a closet bisexual. Actual straight people already know they couldn’t choose to be gay even if they tried.
@GhostoleanCompl@ScionofCulture Same argument conquistadors posed when killing natives. If you exempt fiction from the scrutiny of reason, then you are enjoying nonsense, which is ok (I do as well from time to time), just acknowledge it is nonsense, else you risk believing it has something substantial to teach
@Tsar_Martyr Your only attempts worth anything are ontological in nature. And even then they can't link the necessary being to it being the god of the Christian Bible, because the case for that god existing is empirical in nature, and empiricism is a dead end in the endeavour of truth finding
@sbodrojan This is the type of post that engages autistic minds. Minds obsessed with neat well defined organised categories, but the truth is, the world is grey. And it is easy to realise if you have ever pondered about what yin yang ☯️ means.
Pastor Adeboye: “God is omnipotent.”
Kelvin: “That might not be coherent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “Why not?”
Kelvin: “Because if omnipotence means the ability to do all things, then it seems to include contradictions.”
Pastor Adeboye: “What kind of contradictions?”
Kelvin: “well, Like whether God can create a rock so heavy that He cannot lift it.”
Pastor Adeboye: “don’t be silly,That’s a misunderstanding. God can only do what is logically possible.”
Kelvin: “So omnipotence doesn’t mean ability to do ‘all things,’ but ‘all logically possible things’?”
Pastor Adeboye: “Yes, that’s the correct understanding.”
Kelvin: “hmm. Is it logically possible to lie?”
Pastor Adeboye: “Yes, of course.”
Kelvin: “Then God should be able to lie, since it’s logically possible.”
Pastor Adeboye: “No, God cannot lie. It’s against His nature.”
Kelvin: “So now omnipotence means ‘all logically possible things consistent with God’s nature’?”
Pastor Adeboye: “Exactly.”
Kelvin: “But doesn’t that shift the definition again to avoid the paradox?”
Pastor Adeboye: “No, it clarifies it.”
Kelvin: “so His power is determined by His nature.”
Pastor Adeboye: “Not determined…expressed through His nature.”
Kelvin: “But if His nature sets the boundary of what he can do, then omnipotence just means ‘doing whatever your nature allows.’”
Pastor Adeboye: “It means He is perfectly powerful.”
Kelvin: “But that sounds circular. God is omnipotent because He can do what His nature allows, and His nature is defined so He remains omnipotent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “You’re trying to reduce God to human logic.”
Kelvin: “I’m trying to see if the concept is coherent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “It is coherent within divine understanding.”
Kelvin: “But if omnipotence just means ‘can do whatever is consistent with one’s nature,’ then that applies to everyone… everyone would be by that definition ,omnipotent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “What do you mean?”
Kelvin: “I can do absolutely everything that is logically possible given my nature…I can walk, think, speak, but not fly or lift mountains.”
Pastor Adeboye: “That’s just being human.”
Kelvin: “Exactly!. But by your definition, that would also make me omnipotent too…since I can do all things consistent with my nature.”
Pastor Adeboye: “That’s clearly not the same thing.”
Kelvin: “Then your definition fails to distinguish God from everyone else. It either collapses into contradiction, or into a trivial tautology where everyone counts as omnipotent.”
Pastor Adeboye: “You’re overcomplicating a divine mystery.”
Kelvin: “Or the concept keeps being adjusted to avoid contradictions rather than resolve them…. So far you’ve failed to provide a definition of omnipotence that works”
Pastor Adeboye: “Faith is not built on these arguments.”
Kelvin: “But claims about God’s nature are.”
Pastor Adeboye: “Me and my church will be praying for you 😒”
@LatFilosof@ConfoundedSoc Nothing is the only thing actually exists, for it requires no thing to be.
1 + (-1) = 0
We are nothing (right side) perceiving a projected reality (left side)
@Justforbeans91@Atomsmade The minority as far as we've observed, but I am willing to grant that religious nuts can drive us to extinction and end our story in a couple of years, so then, yeah at that point, you can claim that non deists were the minority for all of human history 😂
@Justforbeans91@Atomsmade The Piranas would like a word with you buddy. The one missionary sent to convert them ended up becoming an atheist because pirahas demand for evidence is baked into their language
