Re: chances
But it doesn't have to be either/or (well, maybe the way YOU ***** about it, it does.)
Confusion. What "it" are we talking about?

Re: BCRPS
Requiring sufficient amounts of objective evidence to justify a conclusion is a bad failing of mine.
Are you thus claiming that every "religious" or spiritual believing person who claims to have allowed the Spirit of the Living God into them is thus delusional and crazy?
When someone walks in here with all the power of the internet behind them and spouts off nonsense about invisible beings with tremendous power that ultimately cannot be shown?
Yah.

Re: BCRPS
I have put forward on this forum many times over the centuries that I, personally, am not just atheist but anti-theist.

Re: chances
Yes I know you were being mocking as usual.
That is part of the fun of this place.
The two different sources of visionary experiences. The spiritual and the sexual.
The latter makes you feel all warm, loving and comfortable inside.
The former makes you fly airplanes into buildings.

Re: chances
Please be advised that I am not the Village Idiot
You just got a promotion. In this village you are the idiot. Congratulations.
First, build a machine which performs many, complex, interdependent functions. Then, add to that machine the ability to self-replicate
Why would I want to do that when nature has already been there / done that?
You're really not very creative.

Re: chances
You don't know what you're talking about or what you're dealing with.
We're talking to the village idiot about his mental handicaps and schizophrenic personality. We're talking to the village idiot who hears mysterious voices in his head and thinks it's god. We're talking to the village idiot who hallucinates macabre images no one else can see and thinks he is sane.
We're talking to a religionist yahoo who is batshit crazy.
There are treatments for BCRPS but they involve lots of drugs and long stays at the funny farm.
Funny Farm. No, that's not a cathedral looking for a new alter boy but it might help you adjust if you think it is.
Go ahead. Bend over and grab you ankles, alter boy.

Re: Theology, Philosophy, and Facts vs Fiction
I thought the god of the christians was omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent?
I thought it was Larry, Curly and Mo.

Re: chances
You insist on your wrong understanding of religion.
Oh, I understand religion quite well. Not only have I seen the result of religion's butchery of the human body and of the human spirit I have you and Dredge and Mike-takes-a-Wiz and so many others to remind me of its evil and stupidity.

I've been setting this up since Message 1053
It's an altar boy with an e (and maybe a priest) sticking in it.
Damn you're slow.

Re: chances
One vision and one mysterious voice (known as a locution) over a period of several decades hardly represent symptoms of mental illness
Other than a priest have you ever talked to anyone about this? A real medical professional type?
Such occurrences are not unknown to the pshryncs and there may be some help for your condition. You may not have to suffer these delusions any longer with therapy.

Re: Theology, Philosophy, and Facts vs Fiction
I don't know what it means for God to be omniscient.
Since you don’t know, let me define omniscient for you.
It means your god is powerless before the human mind.
It means your god can be defeated by a mere thought.
It means your god is nonexistent.

Re: No evidence = irrational
I think it’s the naked guy part.
Now if it were a naked Aphrodite or a naked Rihanna that would be a whole lot more rational.

Re: No evidence = irrational
But what is the point of offering such evidence to someone who is determined to reject any evidence for God’s existence?
Like what evidence?

Re: No evidence = irrational
But if you do that you hit the problem that science can't test whether a non-interventionist god exists or not.
Which means it has no effect on our universe, our reality. It does nothing. It means nothing. Why consider its existence?
