@luisbaram Why do you discount the possibility all are man made stories and you are making the same mistake as those who sincerely worshipped those gods?

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

@AlpacaAurelius A god answer without any confirmable truths, is just as fake as a guru or mystic giving you purpose for pursuing their "wisdom".

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

Honestly, the projection is all the theist. You start with carving one god out of thousands of imagined gods and insisting that this one god must be the only one. Even though the evidence of the original god of the Hebrews only really shows you the origins were exactly consistent with man made gods. Then you add in abuse of theology, according to rabbis. You add in iron chef story telling combining stories as prophecy that were not. You add in a character never referred to directly outside the stories. You add in stories that get increasingly mythical over time. Oh my, the preponderence of evidence is right there if you value truth more than you value story.

@kentcdodds I develop at work, but my home life right now is pretty simplistic. I don't have a use case where I can see applying a personal assistant at the moment.

@BladeoftheS Because ownership on paper is not money in the bank, no matter how much you want to pretend it is.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

When you say where does your foundation come from, that to me is just you saying oh yeah, if you won't take up my made up answer, why are you not making up an answer of your own? I already said.. people made things up.. until you can demonstrate a god exists, has acted, in what manner it acted, you are just using indignation and bluster to push mythology into the modern era. These results are 100% consistent with man made storytelling. To me, the preponderance of the evidence of mankind inventing thousands of gods demonstrates either there is not one god, or the one god is an ineffectual communicator.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

You want it . But tye guy across the street undercuts your business with 3 robots that work 24 x 7 without union demans, raises, excuses or concerns about time of day. They are not worried about family drama. Which makes them undercut your business so hard people will not pay the premium for that human labor. Which means we need to learn to value each other for something else.

@aThEisMiSdErP @NoUsername340 @Giggerton @Doc_Buso @AgainstAtheismX Nice poetic license there, but if your god does not in fact exist, you are wrong twice.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

@aThEisMiSdErP @NoUsername340 @Giggerton @Doc_Buso @AgainstAtheismX Pot, kettle, black... People make things up, and you have failed to demonstrate a god exists, is properly identified and properly understood. So you have nothing but the ignorance of our ancestors that you willfully push as must be so in a desperate want to be right..

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

To me agnostic is a meaningless term. I can be convinced 99% in either direction and say I am not willing to make a knowledge claim. But theists tend to treat it as 50% towards their side. For my part, I 99% believe all human religions are man made stories, mythology persisting to this day. But I can't say I know it for each and every one. The hesitancy to say atheist for most folks is because people are not charitable about believe vs know. I believe people made things up. I am atheist. I am technically agnostic too.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

When you make a blanket comment like prove it, you need to consider the actual comment being made. We can point out logic flaws in the story, things that do not happen in real life. Things that you would not believe if I told you they happened to me today, but you already discount that. I can't prove that Yeb invented Yahweh, because I don't have a time machine or a confession. So what is your "prove it" going to be satisfied by?

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

@antitheistdad Its dumb, because if we actually believed a god existed, we would not be stupid enough to think we could hide anything.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

@elonmusk @t_blom I would like to specify back into the right side of my garage.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

@aThEisMiSdErP @AgainstAtheismX Funny enough, you guys pretend to value truth, then will not accept a simple truth when its politely communicated

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

@TheHedging @luisbaram @JoanneJ37319580 I hear you, but mythology has never appealed to me as a truthful answer. I am a happy and successful person, just dtuck between unequally yoked and unequally woke.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

If I make up one god, I can "logically" insert it into any scenario I want. Like you just did. Logically, if you find the claim equally useful, whether true or not, the assertion is not valid for truth seeking. So if you value truth, instead of a story.. you might start to open your eyes to other positions.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

I personally feel that it is tragic for people to be fighting and willing to die for the honor of mythological gods. I believe all gods are stories made up by mankind. You can take this as a universal condemnation of all supernatural claims that cannot be substantiated. Becuase they all have one thing in common.. the human brain's willingness to believe a made up story.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

How do you figure that? A celestial bureaucracy is going to be the celestial agents of the thousands of gods believed in by Hindus. Just concede the point you did not know what Hindus and Muslims say about NDEs. I just googled out of curiousity. Muslims are reluctant to make NDE claims, even if they have had one.

[Taylor Walston @sylevus]

NDEs do not correlate. Hindu NDEs have them stuck in a celestial bureaucracy, that made a mistake then they are sent back. They are definitely not talking to Jesus or St Peter at the heavenly gates. If you read material that says other cultures don't have NDE, it was a lie and biased. Try googling Hindu NDE for yourself.

@DanJRossOne @luisbaram How many ways do you want to be wrong? I am not a rainbow pedo, or in favor of illegal immigration. Can you acknowledge that you are wrong about this accusation?
