Its still open in a tab
The author is Catholic of course but it's often mandatory in Protestant seminary
Idk I feel that even if we havent come to an understanding between each other it still feels like we learned a bit nore about our own beliefs.
Its one thing to hold a belief but quite another to articulate it
I think among your people, Christianity is often very misunderstood
Devout atheists think we usually just have blind faith and believe things just because the Bible said so, the Church is/was anti science etc
I would argue most people dont have mastery of the concepts they oppose
Just more knowledge of what they support
So I'm happy to be able to stand up for the Church even in its historical contexts if not the theological basis
Well among the religious athiets are mainly seen as blind disbelievers so its not exactly one sided
Agreed
Sadly there are blind Christians
Often the people born and raised in it, never had to do any research or reasoning, they just took their faith for granted and can't defend it when challenged
And they also can't appreciate it
Im not even sure how blind atheists exist
If youbare atheists you should hold science in high esteem. If you do then you should accept that the chance of god isnt 0% so you cant be sure
Now or ever honestly
From our perspective, all atheists are closing their eyes... because to us, the evidence of God is everywhere
Eventually though, science can't explain everything
So even both sides have to admit, we don't always have the answer
I would argue even if it did you probably wouldnt be able to learn it all and prove god didnt exist
So would you call yourself agnostic?
Idk
Well you admit that you don't know for sure that God doesn't exist
Ive heard that agnosticism is the belief in god and not religion but that isnt quite right
Nah
Agnostic is more belief than atheist
Agnostic means, doesn't know
Bottom left would be me
Top right is where the retards are
Which is probably why there is never any clarity on the terms
Top left are Nihilists. Top right are dogmatic Atheists. Bottom left are skeptical Theists. Bottom right are strongly religious.
Gnosis means knowledge in Greek. So agnostic means doesn't know. An atheist "knows" there is no God. A theist knows there is a God. An agnostic doesn't know either way.
So an agnostic at least admits there is a "possibility" of a god
I also believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus!
Am I doing this right?
Is it me or does anyone else get a laugh out of Atheists claiming that Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Japan are good examples of "Atheist countries?"
anyone who claims japan is atheist is retarded
Oof
