One of my main points of Agnostic view is the "I'll believe it when I see it" argument, and I love to factor in the ideas that there could be more Gods than thought and believed on the planet Earth, and a true God could exist as the Universe

2018-10-06 04:56:59 UTC  

I'll believe it when I see it is anchoring truth to empiricism

2018-10-06 04:57:03 UTC  

Which is subjective/a preference

2018-10-06 04:57:56 UTC  

if brett likes bud lite he shouldnt be in the supreme court

2018-10-06 04:58:44 UTC  

True, empiricism really does lock out certain theories and arguments necessary for understanding the universe around us, but the basis of being an Agnostic is purely being subjective.

2018-10-06 04:59:05 UTC  

Does God exist or not, I'll believe it when I see it.

2018-10-06 04:59:31 UTC  

>when I see it

2018-10-06 04:59:40 UTC  

how would you be able to "see" omniscience and omnipotence?

2018-10-06 04:59:47 UTC  

hint: you can't

2018-10-06 05:00:16 UTC  

It all comes back down to being subjective.

2018-10-06 05:00:22 UTC  

that's not an argument

2018-10-06 05:00:35 UTC  

you're just saying outright "lol I don't care because it's my opinion"

2018-10-06 05:00:44 UTC  

Without God you have an infinite regress of subjectivity

2018-10-06 05:01:09 UTC  

btw calling something subjective is an objective claim about subjectivity, which imo undermines the ontological potency of subjectivist arguments

2018-10-06 05:01:12 UTC  

nothing is subjective

2018-10-06 05:01:14 UTC  

that is a meme

2018-10-06 05:01:22 UTC  

Empiricism can be embedded within a greater science, which can be embedded in a greater science, within a greater science, etc.

2018-10-06 05:03:12 UTC  

So just out of curiosity, is your theist belief the belief that god is the cosmos?

2018-10-06 05:03:23 UTC  

No

2018-10-06 05:03:29 UTC  

To me, He is the Unmoved Mover

2018-10-06 05:03:35 UTC  

Can you elaborate?

2018-10-06 05:03:50 UTC  

^ the 9 point argument I posted

2018-10-06 05:04:01 UTC  

He is the anchor to the causal chain

2018-10-06 05:04:32 UTC  

He exists outside the natural world, He is the unactualized actualizer.

2018-10-06 05:04:43 UTC  

He initiated all movement. The Unmoved Mover.

God bless America

2018-10-06 05:05:01 UTC  

👌🏼

2018-10-06 05:08:17 UTC  

Well fuck me I guess I just became a Theist

2018-10-06 05:08:21 UTC  

That makes too much sense

2018-10-06 05:09:06 UTC  

lol

2018-10-06 05:09:33 UTC  

why is ezra mod not senior mod

2018-10-06 05:09:38 UTC  

I thought he was senior mod

2018-10-06 05:09:45 UTC  

good

2018-10-06 05:10:16 UTC  

Well the more I think about it the more it makes more sense because that this God would exist outside of the space of reality since It created the space, so it doesn't have to follow the standard laws of Physics that we understand or try to understand now.

2018-10-06 05:10:39 UTC  

Correct.

2018-10-06 05:10:40 UTC  

Since you can't have an infinite explosion and regression of the universe like some would theorize to the beginning of *our* universe now, something had to have started the space

2018-10-06 05:11:02 UTC  

yes

2018-10-06 05:11:11 UTC  

you're getting there

2018-10-06 05:11:16 UTC  

so what god is that
