Thanks power range.r

2019-11-14 00:09:01 UTC  

well I mean it could. it just means that 'god' aka the first mover or contingency is very tiny

2019-11-14 00:09:13 UTC  

tbf arguing for God from the empirical realm won't work because faith is not about empiricism

2019-11-14 00:09:33 UTC  

yeah to be honest I think a better argument is to take God's existence for granted, and argue his character

2019-11-14 00:09:36 UTC  

And so tiny that it practically doesn't matter

2019-11-14 00:09:41 UTC  

If you're willing to modify god to mean anything that could be considered "the first" or an infinite, sure. But then you've said nothing

2019-11-14 00:09:41 UTC  

and without knowing his character makes it double pointless

2019-11-14 00:09:48 UTC  

since that is far more releveant to the actions of day to day lives

2019-11-14 00:10:55 UTC  

anyone even have a question? I don't, this is better left as a discussion and anything I ask will be out of scope

2019-11-14 00:11:12 UTC  

plus it'll just be leading the discussion later

2019-11-14 00:12:02 UTC  

this was cool

2019-11-14 00:12:02 UTC  

I rationalize god being real because the you can look in history and see that the events that happened in the Bible,actually happened

2019-11-14 00:12:04 UTC  

Your very existence is proof of God. God doesn’t have to be this bearded man in the sky. He is a higher being than all of us.

All the unknown will remain a mystery forever because we simply cannot fathom such things. We are lesser beings than God so we can’t try to describe Him.

2019-11-14 00:12:25 UTC  

same. I just feel like Pius is arguing a very pendantic point and I am not read up on the minusca of metaphysics

2019-11-14 00:12:49 UTC  

@Myth
For Pius,
where is the bridge between the philisophical concept of God you've argued for and any ability to know his character?

2019-11-14 00:12:58 UTC  

I would never try to rationalize God or his character because 1) its futile 2) it won't help man actually incorporate faith

2019-11-14 00:12:59 UTC  

so anything I ask is going to irrelevent being more practically minded.

2019-11-14 00:14:57 UTC  

Sovereignty is that authority that does not recognize any other authority equal or superior to itself within it's domain

2019-11-14 00:15:05 UTC  

@Myth Why do you need to believe a God exists? What does it mean to you. Why do you need to convince others of you're beliefs.

2019-11-14 00:15:14 UTC  

ill bring you up next legalize

2019-11-14 00:15:18 UTC  

thats a question for Pius

2019-11-14 00:15:33 UTC  

@Myth you saw my text question?

2019-11-14 00:15:55 UTC  

yess spader ill bring it up

2019-11-14 00:15:58 UTC  

@Myth For both: What would change your mind about your belief about (a) God?

2019-11-14 00:16:00 UTC  

ok legalize

2019-11-14 00:16:37 UTC

2019-11-14 00:17:46 UTC

2019-11-14 00:17:52 UTC

2019-11-14 00:18:02 UTC  

changes nothing, but I can at least understand his perspective

2019-11-14 00:18:05 UTC  

@TheCompanyMan Try relaunching discord

2019-11-14 00:18:18 UTC  

That question is a whole can of worms way beyond the scope of the debate

2019-11-14 00:18:49 UTC  

ok will do

2019-11-14 00:19:10 UTC  

What was the question?

2019-11-14 00:19:24 UTC  

is it alright to ask how much experience does Pius have in arguments regarding Godship

2019-11-14 00:20:17 UTC
