It would not necessarily be the end of the religion in any major way

2017-06-13 04:06:05 UTC

Never said it would.

2017-06-13 04:06:07 UTC

Most Christians I think do not even know the first mover argument

2017-06-13 04:07:06 UTC

But at least I will have no more reservations about setting myself against them, and I can forward such refutes to other intelligent individuals who are unsure about it as I am.

2017-06-13 04:07:25 UTC

You can refute it already

2017-06-13 04:07:34 UTC

Make an argument on geographical favoritism

2017-06-13 04:08:15 UTC

Tengri, is that you?

2017-06-13 04:08:20 UTC

No

2017-06-13 04:08:26 UTC

His argument convinced me though

2017-06-13 04:08:42 UTC

It's a silly argument.

2017-06-13 04:08:46 UTC

I agree with Tengri too.

2017-06-13 04:08:58 UTC

But he does make a fair point

2017-06-13 04:09:17 UTC

Christianity claims god is just and the argument on geographical favoritism clearly puts itself against that claim

2017-06-13 04:09:34 UTC

The empirical proof would be a world map on religious composition

2017-06-13 04:10:15 UTC

In principal, only a perfect God can know what is perfect good. Reservations about the realities of Him come from an anthropological basis. You have to first grant that you would know better than a perfect being, which you don't.

2017-06-13 04:11:09 UTC

So essentially this is the same as arguing that "God is mysterious in his ways"

2017-06-13 04:11:29 UTC

What is the difference between this and the guy's claim that Tengri is mysterious in making all religions lead to him?

2017-06-13 04:12:32 UTC

The difference is logical coherency. The 'all roads lead to Tengri' argument is based on a fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivocation

2017-06-13 04:13:50 UTC

Whereas the perfect God argument is based on the premise that a God exists.

2017-06-13 04:14:19 UTC

If the premise is that Tengri exists, shouldn't the all religions argument also work for Tengriism?

2017-06-13 04:15:14 UTC

If Tengri is God, the Tengriist make additional claims about his nature. You need to follow up with additional arguments.

2017-06-13 04:15:43 UTC

An omnipotent god would be a perfect god, logically

2017-06-13 04:15:52 UTC

Correct.

2017-06-13 04:16:03 UTC

Tengriists believe their god is omnipotent

2017-06-13 04:16:11 UTC

Good so far.

2017-06-13 04:16:22 UTC

And that their god provides different methods to reach him

2017-06-13 04:16:45 UTC

So if god is perfect

2017-06-13 04:16:53 UTC

Then this last statement must be true

2017-06-13 04:17:05 UTC

That's the unknown quantity. How does a perfect God act his goodness?

2017-06-13 04:17:14 UTC

I've been looking for servers like this for a year

2017-06-13 04:17:27 UTC

Tengriists believe their god is perfect I presume

2017-06-13 04:17:35 UTC

Which is why they justify everyone going to paradise

2017-06-13 04:17:45 UTC

Why would everyone have to go to paradise?

2017-06-13 04:17:56 UTC

I believe Tengriists follow the philosophy of determinism

2017-06-13 04:17:59 UTC

The Tengriist believes in a god without standards.

2017-06-13 04:18:10 UTC

Which is the reason they use the different paths for different cultures argument

2017-06-13 04:18:40 UTC

But why does a perfect God have to deliver everyone to paradise?

2017-06-13 04:18:50 UTC

Why does god necessarily need standards?

2017-06-13 04:19:02 UTC

2017-06-13 04:19:09 UTC

Why does a perfect god not dรฉlivrer everyone to heaven?

2017-06-13 04:19:47 UTC

The Absolute, be definition, is beyond us. We are like children asking why we can't all have candy all the time.

2017-06-13 04:20:01 UTC

Of course, I don't agree with any of this nonsense

2017-06-13 04:20:09 UTC

I am simply making my case that the two religions are similar

2017-06-13 04:20:15 UTC

This is a theoretical argument, sure.

2017-06-13 04:20:16 UTC

In their fallacious logic

2017-06-13 04:20:31 UTC

The both have problems, but for different reasons.

2017-06-13 04:20:54 UTC

I am pedantic about why things are wrong, not just that they are.

2017-06-13 04:22:08 UTC

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/308950154222895104/324040723852689408/3.jpg

2017-06-13 04:22:09 UTC

My logic is that if we can make the case that two logics can be disproven on the backbone of similar logical failures, then one cannot reasonably choose one over the other

2017-06-13 04:22:17 UTC

Religions*

2017-06-13 04:22:34 UTC

It would then be illogical to pick one religion over the other

2017-06-13 04:23:04 UTC

There can only be one primarily correct religion, but it is possible that some religions can co-exist as a subset of another.

2017-06-13 04:23:06 UTC

2017-06-13 04:23:24 UTC

Tengri is one example, Islam may be another grey area.

2017-06-13 04:23:28 UTC

The issue is that in this case Tengriism and Christianity clearly contradict

2017-06-13 04:23:36 UTC

They do.

2017-06-13 04:23:37 UTC

From the perspective of Christians

2017-06-13 04:23:46 UTC

2017-06-13 04:24:20 UTC

@TAbell Welcome, comrade.

2017-06-13 04:24:50 UTC

But if the fatal flaw for both can be pinpointed on one error, "god is mysterious and perfect and can therefore make this worse", and if they contradict, they cannot coexist

2017-06-13 04:25:05 UTC

One is wrong and the other is correct

2017-06-13 04:25:13 UTC

No one can reasonably decide which one is correct

2017-06-13 04:25:50 UTC

So that destroys any attempt to prove one religion until the "god can make it work" part is dispelled

2017-06-13 04:26:03 UTC

Not with 100% certainty. But you can propose natural reason to show why your religion is more coherent than all the others, and why it contradicts.

2017-06-13 04:26:35 UTC

@TAbell Don't look Chopin in the eyes or he will try to baptize you.

She's a beauty.

2017-06-13 04:31:02 UTC

You can tell how much the T34 traumatised the Germans by the fact all their new tanks after the invasion of Russia favoured sloped armour over their traditional 'folded steel'. It was an irrational response to a real nightmare.

2017-06-13 04:32:02 UTC

You cannot underestimate the psychological damage the T34 had on the Wehrmacht leadership.

2017-06-13 04:32:35 UTC

Imitation is flattery.

2017-06-13 04:32:49 UTC

Or is this case, terror.

2017-06-13 04:35:46 UTC

I honestly dont know if that sword was ever used

2017-06-13 04:36:14 UTC

if you were hit with the full force of that thing you would most likely be cleaved in half

2017-06-13 04:36:54 UTC

The handle is too small for a normal sized person to be using it

2017-06-13 04:36:54 UTC

Gigantism is a disease so it was probably there in the middle ages

Regarding Aquinas, I have come to the realisation that discrediting his primary premise that 'all things that move are moved by other things' is the key to refuting his argument. And the way to do this is with direct empirical observation. The best counterexample I know I modern science is Quantum Fluctuations in a vacuum, "the temporary appearance of energetic particles out of empty space, as allowed by the uncertainty principle." Such an observation directly contradicts Aquinas'.
