i thought yo uwere a DJ
Well. Actually DJ stands for David James ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol
you aren't a David James?
hello noob
Yeah our basis of where our conclusions are drawn from are fundamentally different, which makes it hard for two people to talk of such things sometimes. Like, I've had plenty of time/friends that are deeply religious, and we have had discussions (not debates) to understand each other better. And I think I generally understand where the religion worldview comes from, and find it interesting. Again, another reason why I think 'debating' creation is rather pointless.

to find out you aren't who you thought you were
I have no input on religion
Kind of like how I imagine a Kamakazi pilot having one as he preparing to do the thing. Flying towards a ship, he thinks. “Am I man or plane?”
my input is people should worship me
Ah. Hello Koresh.
Okay the thing is debating creation and evolution is extremely difficult because honestly both world views require faith, yes?
hello not david james
Or Jim Jones I guess
😠 ur the r word not me
It’s okay. People are different. You don’t have to be embarrassed.
😔
all my braincells are here 😠
Da frick
It depends on what type of atheist you are talking about. For example, some atheists pre-suppose that a god can not exist, which yes, requires faith, but some atheists (like me) take the position that they are simply unconvinced that creation is a thing, which lacks faith in anything. That being said, that doesn't make my position any more correct than yours so it's again, a pointless rabbit hole imo
ur the one that thinks you wearing a crappy mask saves people
😠
So nihilism?
No that would be belief in nothing
You can say 'retarded'
i was told by mods you can't say it
I think nihilism is the rejection of all moral principles, which I do not believe.
do it then
I believe morals are real and objective
Ye
Moral relativists cause a lot of damage, I'd say
People know right from wrong
Okay but what I am stating you have faith in is that the world was formed from a nebular disk which came from something condensed into the size of a dot
i know right from left
I've used it in front of multiple mods, each never had an issue
idk maybe they just like to bully me
or maybe some mods are different

I agree, that's why I didn't want to rope you into one. Debate never helps anyone that isn't already looking for an answer to a question.
Just so you know my background, I have Master's level education in philosophy, theology and other disciplines. I categorize your respective statements in the categories they'd formally belong to. But you're right, I don't know your inner thoughts.
You should read the book, it would be good to reflect on. https://www.amazon.com/End-Reason-Response-New-Atheists/dp/0310282519
Also, just fyi, Christian philosophy, theology, etc aren't Mormon. Mormonism is unorthodox, or in laymen terms, considered a completely different religion.
