Maybe

I see

Can’t exactly prove the Bible

Not going to pretend to be able to either

So your definition of god is different than the actual definition of god

So what do you reckon happens when you die?

@Providence so you're a Jehovah's Witness.

No idea

Oh shit

More likely than not, I’ll just cease to exist

Not super difficult to imagine

Thats a reasonable position, ætos

It’s a different concept to assert that God is personal than to assert that God exists.

So effectively you have an agnosticish attitude, who attributes forces we don't understand to an impersonal and uncaring force called God?

I don't call the laws god I have the position of agnostic but am an atheist cause I don't believe in God

Not exactly. The gaps argument of “what I cannot explain must be caused by God” isn’t particularly of use.

🤔 pantheist, ætos?

I forgot

I would assert in the place of the gaps argument that what I **can** understand exists because of God.

Panentheist specifically

Ahh

Which upon a google search is apparently different

😕

Lel

I can remember you found a term for your position but can't remember the term

Panentheist Process theologist

I have a name for it


*wrong*

Jk

God exists. What exists *can* exist because of God but does not exist because God influences it.

It might be, Nat.

I just don’t think it is.

Not super complicated

🤔 so you assert that God exists ?

I assert that God does not exist. I cannot prove otherwise. Therefore I assume then that God exists.

Fair call

Mhm

The opposite call can be made to do the same as proof against God.

The breakdown is that the initial assertion determines the final assumption

You assert what you want in order to support your belief.

I can’t even deny that in my own case.

👋🏼 Gnite

But it seems easier to disprove than prove.

So I opt to disprove.

Night @Louis take care

Night louis

I can't prove that god doesn't exist so I take the agnostic position
I don't know if it does or doesn't

Might get hate for this one but i think it's more of a possibility for the concept of god to be man-made than god existing but ofc that's just a thought and I can't prove it

I can’t disprove God and can not explain why there is any cohesion in the universe. I choose to explain the laws that define the universe by saying that they are the result of God. Yet I can’t assert I would know what God is.

If something doesn't have the characteristics a "god" should then why call it god

The power to define how a universe works seems rather god like to me.

The issue is that people then assert God is a personal intelligence that influenced how the universe came to be.

Well isn't that literally the definition of god

I'd agree, however it seems to contradict all biblical knowledge

Not only biblical

You prove my point

Pretty much anything we know about god

You reject traditional knowledge of God and yet use him as a substitute for things we don't yet understand

Religion and God have been convoluted into being something that is the same, yet the concepts are distinct.

It contradicts the definition of god

It contradicts a definition of god

Likely many definitions

The question is, why is it that what we know works?

Not, “we don’t know how it works, so it’s God?”

String theroy innit

fuck string theory

If you want to get very deep into it, that would be one way to go into it.

Pepper 😠

String theory has no proof, though, ironically

string theory has no proof and no way of prooving it

It explains things, but as an explanation, it has not been observed

Neither does God (edgy take)

ooof

but yeah, no one uses string theory

Of course God cannot be proved, lol

I never said one could

Cause he isnt real

The meaning of god is pretty much consistent is all religions we know of tbh

I would argue that proving God would be impossible regardless of if God is real or not.

I'd disagree with you Fluff

Eh

She isn’t particularly wrong

They aren’t the most consistent

...

But they do tie in a bit

Proving God is impossible

Soldz, why is the earth flat if there is no God?

🤔

Math and logic

Yeah Soldz why are you FE?

Lmfao

Math and logic

FE doesnt need a dome to be real

Usually it's the hard religion peeps who are into it

@Louis nite

i would argue the general concept of a god is pretty consistant

No, it doesn’t, Soldz

God isn't the exact same in every religion, nat but the gist of it remains
All "gods" have different characteristics in different religion and they act in different ways but the gist of it is pretty much same

But if you want to use what FEs have known must be rejected in order for FE to exist **as your proof**?
