Best line in the Elizabeth Warren beer catastrophe is, to her husband, “Thank you for being here. I’m glad you’re here” It’s their house, he’s supposed to be there!
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami I’m actually right in front of you right now and you can’t disprove it even though literally every one of your senses tells you so
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami When a lawyer has to argue that their client didn’t commit a crime, what do you think they do? Do you think it’s impossible to argue that something never happened?
@DazzlingMellie Western atheists are largely silent on this because this is a virtual non issue in the west. “Why aren’t the Nepalese doing more to combat Christian nationalism?” Because it isn’t an issue there, why would they?
@MalignantV4hqm@ComradeSaif_@stendhalist But why even bother? If care enough to compromise orthodoxy for the sake of personal political positions, why not just drop the unnecessary religion? Because evidently the politics takes priority over the religion anyway
@MalignantV4hqm@ComradeSaif_@stendhalist They wouldn’t even have their understanding of the deity if not for the traditions and history of the particular religious group. Religious traditions are inherently communal, you can’t just be heterodox and act like it’s normal
@JoshC0301 Science and history are related to God’s existence because religion, at least the Abrahamic religions, make scientific and historical claims. God is said to have interacted with humanity and intervened in the world and we can investigate those claims
@ComradeSaif_@stendhalist If you disagree with 90% of a religion 1. You probably wouldn’t even be accepted into that faith by the faithful 2. Why even convert at that point? Why convert into a system you overwhelmingly disagree with
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami For the third time my argument is not from evidence of absence but positive evidence which suggests pretty much all supernatural religious historical claims seem to really be natural when critically investigated
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami I’m really sorry I just don’t understand. Since when is building a cumulative case on the preponderance of evidence fallacious? Is this not how conclusions are usually drawn?
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami If the evidence points to God not interacting with the world then any God which does exist is unreachable and abstract. At that point if one believes in God they’d practically be secular anyway because there would be no real impact on anything by his existence
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami When religious people claim God interacts with the world and we investigate these claims and find there are perfectly natural explanations, it would seem that God is not interacting with the world
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami I already told you there’s great evidence for God. And I already told you I believe there’s more evidence which suggests there is no God. It’s a positive case, not a negative one
@AsclepiasSyrica@sinnersoviet3@Chicaotoami I never said that. There’s plenty of evidence for God, whether it’s philosophical or historical. What I do believe is that the evidence against God, mainly historical, has more weight
