2. On the nature of God - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
I've not seen the second argument worded so well and I must say I'm hard pushed to find any fault in it (as you say what it tells us about god is another point) I would guess I'd have to claim that either there does exist an actually infinite seri...

3. On the nature of God - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
I believe the stock answers to that is, god moves in mysterious ways, or that god was/is testing our faith. at the very least the second implies that god is not omniscient, why would he need to test your faith if he knows all? the first disturbs m...

4. On the nature of God - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
Quote: Those in the logic business generally refer to self-contradictory statements as "nonsense" and dismiss them accordingly. Why you failed to do the same is beyond me. Perhaps you ought to study logic more, yourself. thank you for so...

5. On the nature of God - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
i fail to see why what you are saying shows my argument is wrong (and i'd love to hear your arguments that are better) its not the sentence that is important as such but the idea that a being believes all the truths and that all the being believe...

6. On the nature of God - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]

Edited by: Jake Devlin on 24/10/2006 10:31:28 Quote: Teaching students the wrong ideas merely to prove them as wrong at a later date seems to me to be a terribly inefficient method of education. firstly this is not quite what i am ad...

9. On the nature of God - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
if god is a matter of faith then why is it that my highest, most powerful and most defining quality is that of reason. every other being in the world strives to fullfill it's function, a function it is well adapted to fullfill. i am well adapted t...

10. [SERMON] The Gallente and the Sin of Lust - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
Quote: While I agree such displays of lust are quite distasteful, as long as they aren't hurting anyone, who are we to take away their right to do such things? while i agree that lust is not all that bad, this statement is clearly wrong....

11. On the Struggle for Intellectual Freedom - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
Quote: What about those ideas that are wrong? Would you teach those ideas as well? yes, thats exactly the point. you teach an idea and then explain why the idea is wrong. when presented with all the counter arguments for an idea, all the...

12. On the Struggle for Intellectual Freedom - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
Quote: Without discipline, learning leads to renewed ignorance rather than knowledge. this is true to an extent. structure, learning from those who came before this is all well and good. but this is not (i hope) what is being complained ...

13. On the nature of God - in Intergalactic Summit [original thread]
you think it doesn't make my eyes hurt, we are talking about god here it's going to be complex. just telling them they are wrong will do nothing, they have to know why they are wrong or they will simply dismiss me as another gallente heretic. sayi...

Quote: One can't help but to question the modesty of men that can conceive and profess belief of an omnipotent 'god', and then assume that such a deity would want or require their praise. one can only assume that such things happen not b...
