Lolol. The arguement is strawman and it is not.

Reyginus: Lolol. The arguement is strawman and it is not.

Possibly... In a parallel universe

On a more serious note though, you are "attacking the straw man" with all these claims because the initial claim is that God is both everything and nothing which is very accurate because if there is something like nothing then that thing is also God too while your claims are just getting more ridiculous.

Not possibly, I am sure it is both in a parallel universe and unparallel universe.

Seriously, I would like to know your philosophical method of inquiry and acquiring?

Reyginus: Seriously, I would like to know your philosophical method of inquiry and acquiring?

My philosophy lies in the fact that the smallest indivisible force from which everything is made up of is God. While yours lies in the fact that a big human like being sitting on a white chair in the sky is God. Your God is therefore not everything but just something like the rest of us. From that perspective I can understand why your God cannot be 2 things at once. However my God is everything at once including any of the several big men sitting on white or other coloured chairs in skies and their enemies and us included because we are all made from the same thing which is my God and to the best of my knowledge is pure energy for now. I don't know what you will call nothing but as long as you can think about it, it has become energy

You didn't get my question. My question is, what philosophical or otherwise approach do you employ to arrive at your conclusions?

Reyginus: You didn't get my question. My question is, what philosophical or otherwise approach do you employ to arrive at your conclusions?

One of the definitions of philosophy my dictionary gives is a particular set or system of beliefs. I think I was explaining the difference in our philosophy and why we cannot agree. I already explained my philosophy

What are the questions? Lets desist from big grammar cos it discourages the less lettered individuals from understanding the threads. Atheism and theism are stages in evolution of knowledge. Atheism is not a destinion, its a stage in the advance process of knowing what GOD is, who God is and who the gods are. Thank you.

You're still not getting it. There is a difference betweem your stand on the God arguement and the approach you used to arrive to your stand. My concern here is the latter.

Also, this is one of the most random threads ever

GOD, God, god? Okay you wrote 'god'. Soul is god, a microcosm of GOD

Billyonaire: GOD, God, god? Okay you wrote 'god'. Soul is god, a microcosm of GOD

This is supposed to make sense how? You'd rather I called it dog then?

Why in the world do you think atheists are interested in knowing 'souls', or dogs? This is going by the traditional meaning of souls and dogs, as I'm not sure you'll give a straight answer if asked.

Oh. OK. I didn't understand what you asked in that sense. Anyway the approach I used to arrive at my stand is intuitive knowledge. That means I just knew it without a shadow of doubt when my mind went towards that direction. I then did a little research to see if other people knew the same thing... Even before I came across Einstein's work proving that energy can be converted to mass and vice versa, I already knew energy and mass were the same thing.
If I want to sound mysterious, I would say my soul told my ego [benefits of meditation] but let's just leave it at intuitive knowledge.

Never have I had that intuition is another way to arrive at truth. Don't you think you're over-rating your intuition?

^^ intuition is a language of the soul..go within your soul and listen to it because within it lies all the "knowledge and secretss of the universse"

Reyginus: Never have I had that intuition is another way to arrive at truth. Don't you think you're over-rating your intuition?

Ever since I started meditating there are tangible things I just know about events or people that I'm in physical contact with. Things like where someone is, in few cases which are becoming more frequent the thought of what someone is going to say next drops in my head. for instance today I was in a car with someone thinking about Mr_Anony and Mazaje's case when suddenly the thought of Tinubu came into my head. What do you know? In the next 2 seconds the person I was with started talking about Tinubu... Things like that. I think its the ego that distorts the message the soul is trying to pass across and with more meditation, less distortion.

And more importantly, i don't think the way to arrive at the truth matters as everyone has their path. as long as the truth is arrived at

Wonderful. Language is now an approach for knowing truth. Wow! Good for you.

Need I say more? Just one last question. Is their any way one can verify or test the authencity of claims derived from intuition? As in, a way to verify it is not merely coincidental or psychological conditioning?

Reyginus: Need I say more? Just one last question. Is their any way one can verify or test the authencity of claims derived from intuition? As in, a way to verify it is not merely coincidental or psychological conditioning?

Well concerning my case, I for one know these occurrences are too frequent to be coincidences. If you don't believe it then the discourse need not be prolonged because there's no middle ground here.
About the verification, there are people who are totally in tune with their soul and can provide you irrefutable evidence if your mind is open enough to accept it. Hell, your pastors and bishops even provide some sort of evidence

Reyginus: Wonderful. Language is now an approach for knowing truth. Wow! Good for you.

I think what he means is that the soul knows all things and the soul tells the ego or what you know as yourself through intuition

Reyginus: Wonderful. Language is now an approach for knowing truth. Wow! Good for you.

lol do you actually read and understand the essence of what people are saying at all? what is what you wrote have anything to do with the message that i passed across?.. are you really serious with some of your questions sometimes or you are playing ... so out of THE SENTENCE i made the key word thst caught your attention was LANGUAGE?

Mr man, even if the soul knows all, it doesn't make it an approach.
