Exposed: The scientific impossibility of evolution
'Nothing Created Everything' a surefire way to debunk atheism
"But the problem is the god that Richard Dawkins doesn't believe in, doesn't exist," Comfort said. "He's a figment of his imagination."
The God of the Bible, Comfort contends, "is the God of righteousness and holiness and justice and truth and love and mercy. And he's taken the time to write his law upon their hearts in the form of a conscience."

Ok, this is a pet cause. If you don't care please skip this post..
Well. TG, the existence of a deity cannot be proved, but then again it cannot be disproved. Atheism, like deism, is an act of faith. Agnosticism is the logical, but unsatisfactory, position.
ReplyDeletePersonally I can't reject the existence of some universal immanent entity, but if there is one it doesn't seem interested in making contact with me, so I feel that I can disregard it.
That being said I think that religion is an instrument of control, nothing more. Althusser's term, "Ideological State Apparatus" is a useful one.

Agnosticism is sitting on the fence..If I weren't in a hurry I'd elaborate. It's extensively argued against in "The God Delusion" and I beleve Dawkins was spot on in his argumentation ..But I gotta run, I have a class.
ReplyDeleteFunny but I'd replace Jesus with god..It's a major issue in ALL religions..
ReplyDeleteNice post TGIA. Are you an atheist or agnostic?
ReplyDeleteLove: "thank god i [a]m a theist" and "thank god i [a]m atheist." You have an amazingly funny sense of humor.
