It's rational to think god wants us meeting up and singing songs to him. 

Its common sense for  10 ,30, 40 year old single,  married,  familys from around your neighborhood to sing songs together. 
Rash nil. 
I mean rational  

Hold.

Why it couldn't  be NO more then  (Two lines ) into singing songs to the good lord jesus 
Ya rational kicks in .
Thats your rationality.
Or is it. 
We haven't a rationality,   
Thats a different post. 

If atheism is irrational,  theists ,   theism is ummmm,  more irrational. 
And that's just for starters.

[a'] You can at least try and it can at least be reduced.
Bias is not quantifiable, and therefore cannot be "reduced." Whether it's a little biased or heavily biased, bias is still bias.

I agree that processes are seemingly one and the same. Call them thoughts, call them electro-chemical data processing.

So we can detect the process, can we project the image externally? 

I don't see why not
How does one make the distinction between the "internal image" and the "external projection"?

Well, the argument that "atheism is irrational", is basically just a theistic dig at atheists.
Not just, but it can be.  If one premises one's belief on an irrational premise, then at the very least one could argue that atheism can be based on the irrational.

Nonetheless, if we break the processes down to a base level of electro-chemical function, we can therefore question the rationality of all such processes, labelled  theistic or atheistic or anything I suppose.

Labelling outcomes wont alter the base reality of the argument. Which is, GODS are not actually known to be anything other than an internal electro-chemical process.
And what would be external? How is this external's independence controlled for independent of the "internal electro-chemical process"?

As of course, are NO GODS.
This is irrational.

So one processes and produces outcomes relative to acquired and stored data. So management/control of such processes is therefore a facet of one and the same process and it's acquired parameters......Self control or not, as might be judged.
So, I ask again: how does one make the distinction between the "internal image" and the "external projection"?

One assumes, as I'm not sure that the process is yet possible, that internally the electro-chemical sequences that produces internal imagery will be able to be replicated externally, or down loaded from the brain to device. Sounds like science fiction, but probably not far away.

In essence no different to technological data transfer systems conversion of a digital sequence into a perceivable image. So the distinction would be the same as the distinction between digital processes and what is projected onto a monitor.

And one might also assume that the process will be reversible. Uploading data from device to brain, as both storable data and internally perceivable imagery.

If and when we do manage to achieve these processes, the mystery that is the human mind will have been unravelled.

But for now we can continue to wonder or not about a GOD.

Exactly: you assume. So what is your objection to, for example, a theist's claiming and presuming "God is responsible for all of this"?

If and when we do manage to achieve these processes, the mystery that is the human mind will have been unravelled.
And what can this mystery reveal if it's still within domain of the mind?

I personally don't believe that any of those celebrities are actually "atheists." Their proclamations of Atheism serves the purpose of undermining Christianity through their influence. Hollywood is a witch-coven, littered with Luciferians, Saturnians, Witches, Kabbalists, etc.

I've never had any objections to theist presumptions.

I simply just disagree with theist presumptions.


What can this mystery reveal?
More assumptions I suppose.

During his younger years, Putin was an atheist. He says he turned to the church after two major accidents in the 1990s—his wife’s car accident and a house fire. He now considers himself to be a devout member of the Russian Orthodox Church.
I guess God loves people that kill people. Oh, that's right, he killed his only son.

"God loves people that kills people"? How do you figure? Second, how did God kill Jesus?

I think this explains theism.

there's good evidence for God.
DEISM ≠ THEISM

which god(s) do you have evidence for ?

And what would be external? How is this external's independence
two things that are truly "independent" are unable to detect and or interact with each other in any way

P1: If one claims, "God does not exist," one presumes the nonexistent can be perceived.
P2: Perception of nonexistence is irrational.
P3: An irrational premise and its extensions are irrational.
C: Therefore, the claim, "God does not exist," is irrational.
missing info

(before you can claim that "god(s)" and or "glipglorp" and or "nanabozho" either DOES (or) DOES NOT "exist", you must rigorously define "god(s)" and or "glipglorp" and or "nanabozho")

.." two things that are truly "independent" are unable to detect and or interact with each other in any way "..

3RU is correct{ thank you }, and no such occupied space independence exists, because, all is interrelated by Gravity{ mass-attraction } at a minimum.

There exists no occupied space independent for our finite, occupied space Universe.

What does exists is irrational humans who may, or may not, be completely independent from mature, rational thought processes.

Occupied space God = occupied space Universe

Meta-space God { mind/intellect/concept } is just that  alone.  A concept and nothing more or nothing less.

..." missing info "..

Either that or their missing brain cells ;--)

Three primary kinds of existence:

1} Meta-space { mind/intellect/concepts } aka Spirit-1, ex concept of God, Universe Space, Time etc,

-------conceptual line of demarcation-----------------------------------

2}  Metaphysical-2 { eternally existent } as the  truly macro-infinite, non-occupied space, ---lack of integrity---  that, exists outside of the following,

3} Eternally existent, finite, occupied space Universe aka occupied space God

This above is the cosmic trinity at top of the cosmic hierarchy. Each of the above three have a subcatagorical trinary set.

....1} absolute truth, relative truth and falsehoods,
 
....2} non-shape-able { no boundary } outer set, the shape-able inner boundary perimeter set, and the ...?.....

....3} physical set of fermions { matter phenomena }  and bosons { force phenomena } ---and new hybrid set of those two---, Gravity (  ), Dark Energy )(.
