No matter how hard you guys try to deny it, Most of you rely on the exact same fundamental aspects of life as most theists do...
(most because there are exeptions like anti-theists and orthodox religious.)

The main reasons people really are theist is because they rely on present day culture, people they have trust in, and thier own feelings.

You guys do exactly the same in some extend... Where else can one get his moral values from ?

Anyway im not saying theists reject sceince. Most theists agree with sceintific method and the reliability of observation(exept in u.s.a.).
Just like most atheists are not rejecting every aspect of culture, people they have trust in, and thier own feelings.(exept nihilists etc.)

Theists just think when it comes to the subject of God, sceince is useless because the subject is beyond empirical knowledge. and therefor prefere to rely on philosophy, other people`s account`s, or it`s own feelings.

But what you didn`t noticed is it only hinders you`ve mental development.

I never understood this. Either you get your morality from an innate sense of right and wrong, which exists and comes from evolution by natural selection, or you do what you're told, such as what theists sometimes claim - they do what they act morally because god tells them to, and they're afraid of punishment.

Again, why would something one has faith in be incompatible within the known and unknown laws of physics ??

There are and always will be lots of possibilities/interpretations on how the universe might work.

if something is unknown doesn`t mean it is not compatible.

>>2395929
Being inconsistent with science isn't the same as being inconsistent with reason.

Having positive belief in the existence of an empirical thing, like an interfering god, is a delusion unless you have evidence to support that supposition. It doesn't matter that we don't have evidence against all possible interfering gods. What does matter is that we have no evidence for any such god, and thus positive belief in such a god is delusion.

I am denying that anyone knows the mind of god, given the available evidence. If someone can present me with evidence that god does indeed exist and communicate with humans, then I'll change my mind.

>the idea of god exists man; explain the idea
>explain the existence of religion
>come on, you're in the business of science; science explains biological phenomenon
>religion and the concept of god are human biological phenomena
>your move science
Science can very accurately explain the origin of the various god myths. It shows that the likely explanation for these god myths is that humans simply pull this shit out of their ass for a variety of reasons, including power and control, consolation, etc.

What does this have to do with the original discussion? I think I'm missing your point.

i'll quote myself again

I think god is more than that; but considering the universe as god is one perspective

considering the good part of the universe is god is another

or, the idea of a day = 24 hours vs. the idea of day as the part of 24 hours that is light, as opposed to the part of 24 hours that is dark (night)

it has much to do with natural order, and humans reflect that

the atheist/post-modernist/liberal tendency favors the erosion of order for many reasons, including self-interest; therefore they target god

but in truth, natural order doesn't require the idea of god; it has been useful, but we can do without it <shrug>

I don't understand what you're saying.

If you claim that one ought to do X, or ought to not do X, because that's what gods told you to do, then we have a problem.

If you have a positive believe about the natural world that's unsubstantiated by evidence, then we have a problem.

I don't know if you have any such beliefs. I'm not following you at all.

>> No.2396017

>>2396006

I'm not religious

as far as "a positive belief about the natural world that's unsubstantiated by evidence" what do you even mean by this?

That dictionary is miserably wrong, try any other respected dictionary and see that subjective = influenced by feelings. or something of that order.

http://www.yourdictionary.com/subjective

perhaps they mean it like this...
a subjective belief is a belief based on "reasons that are based on things that only exist in the mind". That doesn`t mean the actual thing they belief in only exists in thier mind. oh yea and don`t underestimate the power of thoughts.
