Furthermore, both these qualities are mutually exclusive. Any absolute knowledge of the future is at odds with free will, even God's own free will (as everything is predestined). Take for example: 1) God is omniscient. He knows that he will do X. 2) God is omnipotent. He can do both X and...

Google each of those arguments, most of them are actually rational discourse concerning the very logical (or illogical nature of theology). Arguments from scientific evidence are not conclusive enough to support atheism, they only help to add weight. The true killers to any kind of theistic...

Oh true, I prefer Catholics over Prot's (I am Catholic afterall) But dude, you know I just argue for fun. But its true- you can believe in God until your blue in the face, but the Bible is a crappy, crappy source for this purpose. And seriously, when you look into arguments from...

You can't "know" anything though under this framework. This explains it better then me "The Transcendental Argument for the Non-Existence of God" http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/michael_martin/martin-frame/tang.html Are you smarter then Prof. Martin?

It is a philosophy Iron- and the nature of philosophy is that it needs to be critically analysed. What critic would I be if I brought sympathy and hence bias into the mix. Also, thank you, it is very much just a book. With a mixed message of love, hate and superstition. These messages have...

Actually, logically the very nature of believing in Christianity is not compatible with "choice". When you de-rail the universiality of science and replace it with a transcendal being, it creates universal subjectivity as you are not aware of whether God could unknowingly manipulate the law of...

Although I'm about to eat dinner, I'm not seeking to write replies with depth. But tbh I guess for me I can write the Bible off as a bad film. With any cult movie, you'll have its loyal fans and you'll have the cold, hard critics. Exactly what I'm asking. Why are you convinced this book "is...

Faith 4 fun?

Cheap, yes, but I'm in a very stiring mood. Ok, turning seriousness on... I am actually astounded though that people are that inspired by this book. I'm concurrently reading the Quran, it's far more passionate and tenacious. Like we get into some hefty debate here, philosophically etc...

But seriously, to the true Christian, the NT is not bad, but I think JK Rowling writes better... But like, what is so impressive about it? Surely it doesn't stand with the classic works of literature- I find "A Brave New World" much more inspiring. Yea I disected out the message of love etc...

On a side note, I read the New Testament yesterday. Was bored at uni and some random dude handed them out. The utter sexism present is horrendous. The whole gospel of Timothy is a treacherous work of literature, to say the least. Then there is revelations...shudder. Although, admittedly I...

Oh your quite correct, no amount of good argument will sway (the problem with religion in the first place), but in saying that, this does not undermine the very need to argue.

The most fundamental question of all time. The underlying factor behind our "supposed" sense of morality, our laws, our politics. It needs to be rigorously debated. Next you'll be throwing out "we should just respect people's beliefs" garbage.

I find the Apathetic god Paradox very interesting: If your unlimited, then you would have no needs. "A god, by definition, has infinite metaphysical power, in that it has no limits whatsoever. It contains all actualities and potentialities within itself, and cannot experience desire or...

Well it is written as informative, hence its location in "atheology". But because it's conclusion is humorous/ironic etc for the Christian, they included it in a humour section also, along with a few other arguments (which are short). I guess it serves as a starting point for ppl visiting the site.

You would have no relationship, if language ceased to exist. Given its all words... Start with this: http://www.strongatheism.net/library/atheology/introduction_to_semantic_apologetics/ Then this: http://www.strongatheism.net/library/atheology/argument_from_noncognitivism/ Then this...

I am very much enjoying the argument from materialistic apologetics- that under the theistic worldview, everything by definition is subjective to God's will, and any absolutism or principle is actually nullified- including the theist's knowledge that god exists...

It is highly humorous. Theists worship an atheist. Unless your suggesting different? It is also listed under atheology, just FYI.

I think Christians would have to concede that God is non-limited; a non-random universal variable which transcends all time/space and is the first cause of all things. This arises several problems for the theist: 1) God, being the Supreme Being, can not hold faith in another divine being...

Sometimes I'm unsure why we protect religion?
