I see. Arguing with you would just be a waste of time. You took "of course we worship" and avoid "but then worship is ambiguous" to make your blind argument. You only dealt with one of the definitions of worship and discard any other definition because you knew it would make your argument absurd and make you look silly, which it, in fact, is now.

Worship means "to show respect for God, or a god, especially by saying prayers, singing etc"

Worship also means "to love and admire SOMEBODY very much"

The second definition was what I meant with "of course we worship", but you dishonestly forced the first definition into my mouth.

Clearly seen, the religious worship is different from the normal, as the former is spiritual and latter is natural.

"Yoruba says man is a spirit" doesn't give your argument any merit. We are arguing based on standard definitions, and not some biased beliefs.

Next time when you are in court, tell the judge that you are a thief but you only still because you doesnt think it against the law.

Next pls

The first two definitions are deities, the third and last are not.. its quite clear from the definitions..

As for your link about humans being deities, that now falls to you superstitious belief... the bible said, yoruba spirituality said... lmao... thats exactly what atheist say we dont buy...smiley

He is just being biased in choosing words. He neglects other meanings and cherrypick the ones that fit his point, which doesn't have merit at all.

I choose one from among many definition and religion concept which you all fail to drill yourself out of.

This is not about christianity or islam that you love to hate. This is about conception of God.

Atheist says they dont belief in god but what conception of god are they referring to? If you choose one, what happenes to next?

Atheists don't believe in God, But are you just talking about the Christian God what about spinoza's god?

God is spinozism is Nature just like Mother Earth.

If you say you dont believe in Spinoza god, you are just insane because nature does exist

You see how ignorant you can be even in your own argument?

1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler

This definition pints to a supernatural being, that is a deity..[/size]


2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshiped as
having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.[size=20] this definition encompasses a wider scope of deities dabbling into ploytheism concept of supernatural beings (deities)..[/size]

3. an adored, admired, or influential person...[size=20] And this is where your confusion lies.. this definition is purely humanized and not supernatural deified...[/size]
4. the gallery in a theater.…[size=20] and this definition is sorely material not humanized or supernatural (deified).. [/size]

So you see, these four definitions are very different from each other..Your problem is bringing your absurd belief that humans are Deity-like Gods and try to reconcile it with the 3rd definition..

So boy keep your belief to where it is belief...smiley

Ok.. Lemme put it this way. It is the lack of belief in the supernatural.

I have a hard time with your "God is nature." I'd only accept that as a personal definition, but never as a standard definition.

Personal definition doesn't count in public argument like this. They only make sense in your own mind.

The ancient egyptian kings are deified but there is nothing supernatural about them. They are just men like you.

Show me where pantheism is there among those definition above.

Are there no devas in buddhism? What is supernatural in devas pls? Those definitions highlighted are pointing to some religion; probably christian and islam. It doesnot have anything to do with religion generally.

It is a step at a time na.

The third reflect in definition one.

In christianity, man is a god. Does this makes me superman?

The problem is you are ignorant with concept of god.

The third rolls into the first in christianity.

When Jesus said to the congregation that 'ye are gods'. Does this mean we aint existing?

Buddhist believe in devas, let us see what devas means Deva ( देव in Devanagari script) is the Sanskrit word for deity . so you see, it means deity and deity clearly is a supernatural entity.

There is one rule I am in tune with. It is learning. You are claiming to know lot when you actually knows nothing sir.

If the first two definition is what atheism is in for, what happens to other conceptions of God?

Where would you throw pantheism to? And note, Yoruba spiritualism is simple a naturalistic pantheism. Yet we the Yoruba acknowledge the existence of Orisha (deity, every individual is an Orisha in Yoruba spirituality).

If you are against the two concept of God, we can actually agree you are anti-theist and not atheist. Because in other theist concept, 'theos is not ruled out. And theos is a very important issue in atheism.

Let me explain.

Gaia is a goddess

Atheist do not believe in existence of Goddess/god.

If you know what goddess gaia represent, you would know you and other atheists are insane.

johnydon22:

saying many believers in God (deity) do not believe supernatural is laughable cus this (deified) concept of God is defined to supernatural..

The bold said This (talking about a particular) concept of God.

And not All (talking about totality) concept of God.

This is where you get it wrong.

In pantheism, there is nothing like supernaturals. With them, everything in nature is super. So go and look for your supernatural elsewhere.

johnydon22:
Buddhist believe in devas, let us see what devas means Deva ( देव in Devanagari script) is the Sanskrit word for deity . so you see, it means deity and deity clearly is a supernatural entity.

Devas have no supernatural attributes.

Buddhist do not have anything to do with supernatural.

Yes Deva is a deity but it has nothing to do with superntaural. There is no supernatural attributes in devas

johnydon22:

He is a renowed atheist. And he a pratitioner buddhist. Not so?

He practise a religion with some non-believable devas. And he is an atheist.

Money is God is some religions as you assert, that is their view and should be applied universally cus you and i clearly know you do not agree with the concept of money being a deity..

You actually dont know what a deity is.

Yes money is a deity. In yoruba, we call it Orisha Aje. Because of it been a deity, the bible warn christians from worshipping it.

And there is nothing personal about nature seen as deity. You should actually admit you are ignorant about this concept.

A panpsycist defines god as a consciousness and deduced that everything is god.

And when an atheist tells panpsychist that god does not exist, the panpsychist would think they are mad.

To a pantheist, god is natural world. When atheist tell pantheist god do not exist, they would be classifed as insane folks.

When atheist tell a yoruba spiritualist that god does not exist, he will be looked at as a fool because to the yoruba, every individual including to the atheist is a god.

FOLYKAZE Logic 101

Formal statement: Irrelevant opinions may be resorted to when establishing a logical truth.

Structure: {insert irrelevant opinion}, {insert consequential logical truth}

EXAMPLE 1: {To the Yoruba spiritualists, every individual is a god}, {so this creates flaws in the atheist arguments}.
EXAMPLE 2: {To me, FOLYKAZE is a pathological mo.ron}, {so this creates flaws in whatever defence he may invoke to prove me wrong}

I'm sure you can think of other examples.
