Triple, I am an atheist, yet I can agree with the bold depending on context.

Say, I were to believe and claim to worship God, but can not be bothered to love my neighbour because my neighbour does not believe what I believe or has a different point of view to mine, it could be said that my belief in God lacks spirit and is therefore intangible..

Just throwing it out there that one can worship God in tangible spirit, as by thy fruits suggest.
Yes ,it will lack it

Actually, their love for evil and their hatred for God is what prevents them from immediately seeing that they are been deceived with Lies.

John 3:20 describes what happens to people who love evil.

20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light
Atheism is a spiritual disease: an infection that take deliverance from strong demons out of their lives.
It starts with the kind of question to EVE and conclude with "God does not Exist"

TenQ, I agree with you that A more precise definition would be that Tangible things are anything that has mass or dimension or energy or can change state with time.

In fact, Quine, whom I will post at the end, is agreeing with you, and if I tell you a secret, my Lord and I have almost never disagreed and he agrees with you too.
And just so it's not I'm lying, first person to find otherwise my Lord will make me pay 10k. Just quote link.
I am glad that we are coming to a consensus on this.

budaatum:

Unfortunately. There are no precise definition of words, or at least we human beings are not normally intelligent enough or know enough that the definition we give a word is more precise than any other. It's probably why there are so many dictionaries. Everyone writes their own because we do not agree on precision.

Personally? I think it is really rather absurd (gibberish, even), to claim one precisely defines any word with very complex and imprecise words like "mass or dimension or energy or can change state with time". These are words that have had so many meanings over the history of time, and that keep evolving, that precision just eludes them completely, just as that of tangible has and does.

Anyway, below is Quine. The entire article itself is revealing, and moreso the references.

I agree that words are imprecise at best. This is probably why it is better to adopt the scientific wordview because they are more precise than the simple dictionary terms.
Scientific terms will usually take into consideration for definition things that are beyond the view of natural senses to comprehend.

One thing I never do is post credentials as a reason for knowledge. If I would, the relevant ones to this topic would be B.Eng Electronics and Communications, London. In my days we were 'programming' in COBOL and C and sometimes directly in machine code, so God help you if your one was in the zero's place. I would love my knowledge of philosophy and how to think and reason to hold sway here too.
But the n, you should understand that data in a storage device is meaningless if it is not in the expected format. When a CD or HDD is written with 10 GB of Data, the truth of the matter is that NOTHING of a physical nature increases on the HDD. Similarly, when a 30 TB HDD is wiped clean of Data, nothing DECREASES on the HDD.

budaatum:

When you program in C/Cpp, Python, you are "touching" it. If you want to debug your program, you will remove it from the machine and "touch" it to do so. So why would you insist we go looking for the software inside the machine despite some of us telling you what we would do? Would you tell us to go look for electricity inside the machine from the machine's point of view also and without using a multimeter?
I think you are seeing software as the High Level Language written on the VDU: but this is not true. The Software is the FINAL Formatted Sequence of Binary or Hexadecimal Code that is written in the CPU or HDD.

budaatum:

And we are saying that you don't impose a point of view on anyone! It's why we keep informing you that we can take the software out of the machine's point of view and place it in our own point of view so we can feel and touch and see it since we don't share senses with a machine and therefore feel and touch things differently.

The imposition of a point of view is how religion captivates it's audience. And you ought to by now know that atheists do not allow themselves to be captivated so.

Read some of my posts on the Garden of Eden. It's all about a point of view that differs to the generally accepted point of view, which you and I should perhaps discuss in its own right.

I think my question was very specific and demands that the answers be with respect to the point of view of the Machine

Check My Questions again: everything was with respect to what happens WITHIN the Computer

3. Can the software within a machine be "measured" or "quantified" by any physical means?
4. Is it wisdom to insist on a physical quantification of a software within a machine to conclude that it exist?
5. Tell me, how can one prove the existence of a software WITHIN an AI machine's CPU or MEMORY without the use of another software?


So you can understand when I insisted on what happens from the point of view of the Computer and not the programmer

And will it be tangible and have tangibility if I love my neighbour, and not insult those who insult me, and don't kill and don't covet control over my neighbours mind nor rob them of their point of view, my God, in Spirit and essence and everything anyone can choose to describe it, is tangible, or at least must be tangible to me because I am making my God real and tangible to my very self?

P.s. I intentionally made it gibberish, do note.

Imagine being told my infinitely massed God is not tangible because it does not have dimensions despite having the energy to create the entire universe, and it does change state with time, or at least understanding of it must.

Can you see me joke of talking to an ant?

Haba. Calm down. I said I'm not an atheist. You keep ignoring this, why?

If you won't explain it ,why are you here? This thread is about spirits not computer softwares. There's no where it's written down that to understand spirit you must know what's a software. You made that up yourself ,and it's a very dishonest way of escaping from doing what you should do.

Using your logic,I can also affirm that if you can't comprehend what's oxygen in biology you can't understand what's spirit. Spirit is not intangible as you think. It depends on how it manifest,and there 're different manifestations of spirit. Spirit from a material point of view, simply means energy.

If you're not going to discuss spirit,then forget it and thanks for your time and the insults too.

You just can't assume that another person can't make sense of what you haven't even started to discuss or explain .I can also assume you don't really know your subject very well hence you're afraid to discuss it so your incompetency is not fully exposed.

So , who are you for everything about you reeks of Atheism!
Of course there are many flavours of Atheism: for me , if you act as an Atheist, you must be an atheist.

If you can bother with going through my old threads, you will see me describe what a spirit is. Unfortunately, these are things atheists will scorn at thoughtlessly.

It is not worth it.

My strategy of explaining any spiritual things to an atheist is to first find a similar physical things that they can understand and then use it as a pivot to explain the spiritual. If they cannot comprehend the physical, there is no point explaining the spiritual.

Tell me:'
Do you think that a person who holds a position that ANYTHING that is not Tangible is FICTICIOUS will understand what a spirit is?

Nope! No evil.

What you do not seem to understand is that you do not have the authority to demand what point of view I choose to respect, and that just really amuses me.

Why would I be an atheist, precisely defined as a person who refuses to only accept the point of view of the gods, now choose to worship the point of view of TenQ, to put it bluntly it I may?

Tell me. Is the person coding the software not writing the software, and is their final written code not the software too or must they too only see the machine's point of view?

Eve asked, will I die if I eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that Adam had told her they should not eat for on the day that she ate she would surely die, by opening her eyes to see that it was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, so she took some and ate it and gave some to her dumb believing husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Yes, TenQ. The logical consequence of using one's heart and soul and mind to ask and knock and seek is to question the gods, the sources of all Wisdom, from all points of views imaginable.
