Dalaman is grizlybears reality a false one? |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by dalaman: 9:46am On Dec 16, 2016 |
damogul: I am not talking about meaning of life but showing that the meaning of life varies and isn't universal that is why I used religion to prove my point. What is the difference between the notorious atheist in history and your biblical prophets what went about with your murderous God killing and anhilating others in your bible. What is the difference between Moa and Josh or Moses in the bible? All were genocidal psycophats who went about killing people en mass. |

hopefulLandlord: Implicit atheism is NOT atheism . Baron d'Holbach started this whole ignorant BS after he declared that babies are atheist because they have no idea of God and George Smith now coined the term implicit atheism and defined it as the absence or lack of belief in God . Please read here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit_and_explicit_atheism Explicit atheism has been accepted as the real atheism People who have no knowledge of gods and lack the belief in gods ARE NOT ATHEISTS . They are NON-THEISTS . They have to be given another name NOT atheists . |

damogul:Yes it is. |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by damogul: 9:48am On Dec 16, 2016 |
dalaman: You keep using religion to offer examples. Are atheists not supposed to be many? Can you not use their worldview to support your argument? Answer my question about grizlybears reality. IS IT A FALSE ONE? |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by hopefulLandlord: 9:48am On Dec 16, 2016 |
KingEbukasBlog: another appeal to Baron d'Holbach stop this mental gymnastics brother, its not good for your health atheism is 1 lack of belief in deities 2 rejection of deities 3 proclaiming no deities exist I know you desperately wish the first one away but it's a fruitless adventure |

dalaman: Don't tell me I'm conversing with a kid. You don't act peurile by throwing tantrums and ad hominems and mockeries when you have no solid, logical rebuttal to an argument. Keeping quiet accords you much more dignity. |

Thanks for this Brain Storm. Religion is not an Illusion. It's History made real in Dreams, Actions, Interactions, Movements, Feelings, Thinking, Reasonings and Writings of Humans including you. The way we Relate to our IMAGINATIONS, THE UNSEEN SPIRIT THAT MAKES US LIVE IS CALLED RELIGION. When we align and compare our imaginations with others and find holes suitable to accommodate ours, we stay put. In this way, we become any of Christians, Muslims, Moslems, The Faithfuls, Islamists, Jewish-Judaisms etc. That's to say, Religion is IMAGINATIONS(Illusions) made real. It's a Discovery in Spirit and an Invention of Humans. |

felixomor: Life has no universal meaning is what I said. I did not say that life has no meaning. By universal meaning I mean life has no universally accepted meaning. The meaning of.life to a christian is very different to that of a muslims and that is also different to that of a Hindu or Taoist. Life has no universal meaning Isn't the same as life has no meaning. I Clearly stated that life has meaning and the meaning is what we hose to make of it. You remain a liar. 1 Like |

orunto27: "IMAGINATIONS, THE UNSEEN SPIRIT THAT MAKES US LIVE IS CALLED RELIGION." all atheists should be dead then |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by damogul: 9:53am On Dec 16, 2016 |
dalaman: So you say Grizlybears belief that life is meaningless is a false one? Do you believe in Creation? |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by hopefulLandlord: 9:54am On Dec 16, 2016 |
felixomor no hard feelings bro its just that's what you do most times (hang on to a typo, a missed word, a lacuna) and I wanted to give you a little taste of your medicine we are good, at least from my end |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by felixomor: 9:54am On Dec 16, 2016 |
dalaman: Life has no universal meaning is the same thing as life has no meaning. Throwing "liar" ad hominems around wont hide you.. Besides u keep giving religious examples. I wonder. Have u forgotten the title of this thread? Or u really have a grammar problem. |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by damogul: 9:55am On Dec 16, 2016 |
Dalaman do you believe in creation? |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by dalaman: 9:56am On Dec 16, 2016 |
felixomor: It is a lie they are not the same thing. Life has no universal meaning. If it does tell me the universally accepted meaning of life. Life has individual meaning but it doesn't have a universal acceptable meaning. You remain a liar until you some that the universal meaning of life is and how it is universally accepted. |

Why do we fear nothingness? |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by damogul: 9:57am On Dec 16, 2016 |
Dalaman you believe that God does not exist but do you believe in Creation? |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by dalaman: 9:58am On Dec 16, 2016 |
damogul: It is because obviously meaning can be drawn from life. I do not believe in religious creationism. |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by damogul: 9:59am On Dec 16, 2016 |
dalaman: If you say life has an individual meaning why then did you say Grizlybears meaning to life is a false one? Do you know why i aasked you about the 52 infamous atheists alongside? 1 Like 1 Share |

These are the words of a true atheist: "I wish i was not born because my life was by chance. Chance brought me here so what then is the purpose to my life?" 1 Like |

dalaman: Oh so if its now a case of universally accepted, So also i can as well say that the fact that u dont universally accept my Jesus Christ doesnt mean He is not the saviour of the world. #Truth We are good, abi. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

Dalaman since you do not believe in RELIGIOUS creationism what creationism do you believe in? |
Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by hopefulLandlord: 10:02am On Dec 16, 2016 |
Edenoscar:the possible reality that this might be the only life we'll live is just too painful for many humans to dare think about this lead to creating some mythical afterlife where "you'll meet and part no more" and live in eternal bliss |

Re: Religion: An Illusion That Works Well by damogul: 10:05am On Dec 16, 2016 |
KingEbukasBlog: They say theists are dumb, We shall see. In furtherance to this dalaman since life has individual meanings yet you say grizlybears individual meaning to his life is a false one can i also say your individual meaning to life is a false one? 1 Like 1 Share |
