The cake is a lie

Although it keeps a society together

Oddly enough, I find my Christian buddies to be more open minded than atheists these days

I follow christianity simply because of the morals imposed by it

Who here has seen JBP on the Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories?

What establishes that god exists? @Darth Dawkins

Beyond your belief, and various books

But it's been written, translated, and rewritten so many times

I see the bible as a compilation of explanations, for parents to tell their kids

Because they are incapable of making up explanations themselves

Studying the beliefs of people from around the world, how they formed their religions and where they came from, you can get a good grasp of there certainly being *something* other than us out there, and the more you look into it the more you start to notice certain... patterns. repeating patterns of civilizations that have had no contact with eachother. That is what pulled me from being atheist back to some sort of believer.

Debate on the bible is a whole different topic, but that's my answer for what establishes god exists

Fair point, I'd like to move over to Darth Dawkins though. I take issue with his perception of the world, and his stubborn interest in not allowing anybody else to refute his belief.

If I could, I'd preface my question with; "Humor me for a second, and assume that there is no god" - Which he will definitely not want to, so I will ask him nicely again, and insist, "Hypothetically, can we humor the idea that there may not be a god". And he if agrees, I'd ask the question: "If someone were to provide you exact evidence that god does in fact not exist, would you then believe the evidence, and further showcase the evidence for others, or will you completely refute it, because you believe the bible itself is evidence enough against it?"

Similarly, I'd like to ask him: "How come we have hundreds of fields of study, that completely dispute the idea that the earth is a most, around 6000 years old, and all you have is your book, yet you still can't humor the idea that you might be wrong about that theory?"

I also take issue with his extremely poor debate etiquette

My point of view about the argument of providing causality is this:

Isn't it a bit convenient that the number 1 argument for causality has been pushed into every nook and cranny of the world, making it very near impossible to actually implement any other theory?

At every turn you attempt provide another theory, it's basically turned around, pushing it towards God with phrases like: "Well, that's basically god anyways"

Money detaches virtue from the purpose of agency and labour. Gold is God, but have we so easily forgotten that god commanded the destruction of golden idols?

Has someone broken the law for leaking that there is a sealed indictment?

>taxes

If it’s not connected to Russia, it’s nothing burger

Will we finally get Jefferson State?

@Stabbing TIME_ Foxnews is not news

Let's see here:
- Tony Podesta resigns - 1 point for Team Trump
- Gates Indicted - 10 points Team Anti-Trump
- Paul Manafort Indicted - 100 points Team Anti-Trump
- George Papadopoulos Flipped - 1000 points for Team Anti-Trump

Team Anti-Trump = 1110 points
Team Trump = 1 point

So you may be wondering why Mueller would bother with this shit

Well, it's not just for the sake of anti-Trump propaganda

And I doubt it's because he's going after Hillary.

He's using intimidation tactics to try to force a false confession & testimony against Trump out of these guys.

not gonna happen
