Christianity EtcRe: Mary Appears Live In Benin by johnydon22(m): 10:41pm On Oct 14, 2017
This stuff up there doesnt look real to me but I have actually witnessed a dancing sun before as a child during a Marian feast September 8 at Queen of Peace Parish Ndorommiri Ugbo Oghe abakpa Nike Enugu.

I am an atheist but I must say I have never seen something like it before.

Maybe there is a natural explanation to it I don't know but it still unlike anything I have witnessed before

Your mom's the bvtch for giving birth to a randy and uncouth dog like you. An uncivil, ill-mannered, low-class idiot trying to portray himself as intelligent just because he had access to government-funded petepete education.

You will do well not to reply me or you will take a real wash in the downpour of shame. undecided
Betting my balls he will reply. I have seen something like this before.

It's vain and vanity speaking, an insatiable need to appear intelligent, a lust so intense that you literally have to force it down people's throat.

"I am intelligent, gee see me write, I have wonderful command of English and flawless grammar. I'm so awesome and intelligent"

It's a huge problem, an intense psychological insecurity that requires a soft landing pillow achieved through such delusive psychological projections to make the person feel good.

I'm beginning to ramble, well just a bit irked by this peurile nonsense right here.

Dude is just tiny and petty with oversized ego

Christianity EtcRe: Would Eliminating Religion Improve The World Or Worsen It? by johnydon22(m): 1:17pm On Oct 14, 2017

religion has been a subject for critism for centuries i think thats what some people needs its existance for

Christianity EtcRe: Would Eliminating Religion Improve The World Or Worsen It? by johnydon22(m): 12:20pm On Oct 14, 2017
Samsimple:
My opinion
1. Supporting Religion
Religion is the source of all laws. I
personally believe that without laws such as the Ten Commandments, the world
would be manic and there would be no law or order. Clearly, this would lead to the world becoming extinct as no one would
know that they should "love thy
neighbour as thyself" or never to kill.
Religion is not the source of all Laws. order, rules and laws are intrinsic products of the society. Religion is rather a recent inclusion in human societal structure and laws and social organisations predates that.

The first known laws are rather more cultural and political than it is religious. Religious laws if followed to the every point would see us commit actions that today we would find grossly abhorable.

2. Against Religion
God has no religion. God has no
political party either. Unless we learn to recognize that we are all children of God, and that we should love each other, the
world will continue to run its course. It's time to throw off the chains of the world. The golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, in all the holy books of every religion, Love is the greatest gift we can give to one another. Love is the true religion, and the only religion of this world.
Hate and Love are both human emotions, we are prone to both so i doubt either can really rule absolutely. Humanism i think presents a better approach towards moral outlook independent of selfish clutches or religious coercions.

Religious laws or even political laws mandates humans to follow a certain standards because of God or in case of political laws because of the punishments the contrary action would attract, so we follow these laws not because we want to follow them but because we want to Obey God or avoid punishment.

Humanism on the other hand replaces God/punishment and reward with humans. Humanity becomes the greatest good and not God, do not give alms to the poor because of God, do it because of humans. they are humans and you are too, do it because it is vital for our collective survival as a specie.

Humanism is not obedience conformity driven but empathy driven and humans being at the peak of this empathy.




I do think though that religion is important, humans are never same in our thinking and in our deeds, for intuitive thinkers religion is the best tool for world-views and societal shaping, for analytical thinkers humanism may water the garden.

To the religious, religion forms the glass from which they look at life so in some sense religion to the religious is inseparable from life

I say none must be abolished, we need the colours and values of religion just as much as we need that of every other enterprise.

Christianity EtcRe: How Do You Prepare For Death? by johnydon22(m): 2:00pm On Oct 10, 2017
AnonyNymous:
So the best way to stop worrying about death is to live. But then, what would you tell a person who can 'see' his death approaching (terminal illness, old age, death sentence, or even someone with a mental illness). At that point, death is nearer than ever, and it would be something that would cross their minds frequently.

cc johnydon22
I will advice them to live and savor the moments they have.

Don't worry about what will be, your worry doesn't change batshit
Christianity EtcRe: How Do You Prepare For Death? by johnydon22(m): 12:57pm On Oct 10, 2017
I don't prepare for death, I am alive now and that is all that matters, death is irrelevant to me as long as I am Alive. So I have no business preparing for death when I have a life to live.

I am alive so I am living.

If you are preparing for death then I don't think you are living but just waiting to die.

Death takes away life, so tell me why you should waste life to prepare for something that takes life away?

Its absurd.

If you are alive, live. If you die then you are dead

Christianity EtcRe: Personhood And Transcendency (personal God Outside Time) by johnydon22(op): 1:18pm On Oct 05, 2017
ToZaraWithaZ:
But the theist might still argue that it's a PHYSICAL LAW that does not apply to his God. How would you answer this?
Such a person must demonstrate how a transcend beings can operate as a person in other dimensions that they transcend.

I have shown how it cannot be using known laws of physics, such a person must not just say it but show it using understandable logic and reason.

In argument its not just enough to say "this is like this" you must show how, because everyone can still make unsupported statements but what makes a claim or idea credible is its ability to be demonstrated or falsified
Christianity EtcRe: Personhood And Transcendency (personal God Outside Time) by johnydon22(op): 1:14pm On Oct 05, 2017
ToZaraWithaZ:
Indeed. You cannot act as a PERSON within a spacetime you transcend. True.
That is exactly the implications exposed in the OP which is in direct contradiction with the ideas of theism as I showed.

In theism God operates within the universe, fights battles and all - For this to be so God must be a person within this universe if God transcends this universe then God cannot perform actions as a person within this universe.

The transcendent argument contradicts theism but can be reconciled with Deism in a broad sense
Christianity EtcRe: Personhood And Transcendency (personal God Outside Time) by johnydon22(op): 12:57pm On Oct 05, 2017
ToZaraWithaZ:
Excellent proposition, Johnydon22. But I do not think anything stops "God" from intervening in the 2D spacetime, the same way nothing stops me from forwarding or rewinding a movie - I'm INFLUENCING it without ever stepping into the 2D spacetime. Although, my interference is still LIMITED (unlike that of the Abrahamic God who has free reign in our 3D spacetime, and can send his angels who're spirit beings and belong to another dimension to come into ours - with whatever kind of MAGIC]

The real issue is the difficulty in justifying the concept of being IMMANENT and TRANSCENDENT at the same time, since the two terms seem somewhat contradictory.

Is God everywhere (immanent)? Does God exist outside our world (transcend it)? In other words, is he in or out of the world, in it or above it? Is he seperate from it (it's his Creation, but it's not him) or is the substance of God also the substance of the universe (hence God is immanent by definition - but PATHEISTIC in this case)? WHICH IS IT?

If God is everywhere, is he also in HELL? Is he in toilets, dump sites, brothels, club houses, kidnappers' den, terrorist hideouts?

Let the theists come and answer these questions, 'cause I think they're confused.
From my OP

Note my statement. You cannot exist or act as a person within a time and space you transcend.

Keyword: Person.

You may pause, fast forward and rewind a movie but you sitting on that couch cannot be a person inside that movie even if you are watching a movie with your pictures .
Christianity EtcRe: Personhood And Transcendency (personal God Outside Time) by johnydon22(op): 12:55pm On Oct 05, 2017
AgentOfAllah:
I understood its implication, I just don't understand why or how such a mathematical formalism is applicable to the known laws of Physics.
Let me explain then.

Spatial dimensions XYZ + T must equal the speed of light as a constant.

This simple mathematics is the mechanism behind relativity.

XYZ+T=C

The faster you go on XYZ, T must adjust to still sum the total to C

So the faster you go on XYZ, the slow T becomes so the sum will equal C.

That is why in relativity time slows down the faster you go

I hope you understand its application to known laws of physics now.

Fair enough! But your explanation only applies to post-release movies with multiple versions. Now let's suppose the movie only exists on some form of editable physical media or another, and there is only one copy of that media available (precluding possibilities of alternate universes), such that if the movie were edited in the way I previously described, there would still remain just one copy. Now, splicing new sections in the timeline of the movie will surely alter the fate of the characters, even if they (assuming they are sentient) don't realise this themselves.


Yes, again, let's assume there can only be one copy of this movie on a single storage media in my possession. I agree that I can't directly tell Frodo and Sam to hide, but there are other ways I can interfere with their fate, like shooting a new scene with their characters doing what I want and then splicing this new scene into the single version I have. Even suppose we go with your multiverse solution, it's still an interference, albeit an imperceptible one, no? I've intentionally changed the unwinding of their timelines from a single possible outcome to a superposition of equally probable outcomes. They don't have to perceive such an interference themselves for it to occur!
You have steered away from my original analogy, my analogy on the OP referred to already released movie and in particular one that you are watching on your device.

So for we to assume a pre-released still under production then we are into a different assumptive premise all together than becomes non-sequitor to the original analogy.

If you are watching Hobbit on your phone and I am also watching Hobbit on mine. Its different plains (universes) we both are holding different dimensional plains in our hands, different universes.



Yes, the types of interference you've listed wouldn't affect the characters' lives, nor would they affect the the time and space in their universe. However, splicing new scenes will clearly affect the time and space of the characters in the movie, even if they don't notice. So, my thinking is, maybe this extradimensional god cannot directly interact with us as we interact with each other in our own dimension, but if this god were watching us like the unwinding of videos, then they can potentially effect changes in our own time, space and fate without us noticing.
Note my statement. You cannot exist or act as a person within a time and space you transcend.
