Pascals Wager is that beneficial argument and a very logical outcome

How do you respond that Gods which punish Christians and not atheists might exist?

People say things like the sun is infinite energy for Earthians. False.

The point is that Satan is devious, and his works can be found anywhere. Trump could indeed be his agent

Well, sure, but I dont think Satan is as evil as Trump.

Should they all be considered magic?

In so much as the bottom line of everything is seemingly magical.

Though based upon your own experiences you must decide for yourself

A Christmas greeting card verse I wrote about 20 years ago.

A tribute to his common sense of justice applied to eating, to allow us to be with him, and to celebrate  our being there, together. What better course might we consume. Dark chocolate - 80% range,  that is; the only variety that fully satisfies by flavor intensity.

Bro I am not Calvinist. This is an argument not a belief.

Jesus was crucified by the Romans who were consider gentiles by Jews.

Rome became Christian later

Quebec won't leave because there is nowhere for it to go, but it did get massive concessions that Alberta never got. I seriously doubt Ottawa dropping carbon tax and net zero immediately will be enough this time with an open invitation for US protection. 51% is highly likely under their system.

Americans have Trump, we have a mish mash of all sorts, with only delusions of ritual grandeur these days.

The nominal Head of State is the King, who has his dodgy prostate to worry about.

We also have a bloke named Farage, who is our wannabee Trumpington Major.

"If " is a two way label thing.

43 out of 195, certainly isn't most, but also isn't all.

And I do not believe anything.

Horses head one minute, Donald Trumps mushroom dick the next.

My prediction is that Canada will cease when Alberta leaves.

So is Jesus the messiah but the one for gentiles alone?

He did have much more luck with gentiles. Even tho he said he was "only sent to Israel", Israeli rejected him and non-Israeli accepted him, as he predicted.

I would suggest that in the next Universe, we will once again inherit a notion of our AI GOD, and perhaps write a book and call it The Bible.

Dealing with you on this issue is like being trapped in Escher stair case.

My case doesnt rely upon purely logical rules. Yours does. But sadly, logic on its own cannot prove anything here.

"Non-logic, then God, then logic" is an explanation which works and is completely consistent. What other explanation even is there?

There are only 2 possible options:

1. Logic is proved by logic

2. Logic is proved by non-logic

1 is completely impossible by laws of logic, which leaves only 2.

Again, if we assume logic proves everything else, then what proves logic?

If we assume proof is defined by logic, then logic cannot be proved by any proof.

If you say "A=A" is proof of all truth, then what is proof of "A=A" here?

If you define truth as "A=A", then truth proving itself would violate "A=A", because thing which is equal to itself can never prove itself. To claim otherwise would mean "God proves God" is a valid claim now.

So you concede that "A=A" cannot be proved by "A=A". 

Thus, it can only be proved by something which is not "A=A".

This is the only conclusion possible here, otherwise all logic is unproved and then there is no any true logic anyway.

yes but ig that's not wht Student is reffering to.

In so much as inspired positivity affects the Brain to produce chemicals that evoke a sense of wellbeing.

So all sorts of activities, religious, mystical, sporting, musical, artistic, sexual  etc etc, will do the trick.

I cant read all 600 posts. Is there a shorter version, or just link to most important post there.

He sold Bible with the constitution embedded in it

Trump realized that adding new words to Bible is the best way to change it. So now we have Bible 2.0 new version.

People 800 years from now who find one such copy will think that US constitution is God's word.

The Japanese aging population are too old to engage in crime.

Not everyone in Japan is old.

It has fired.

I wonder whats the point of an Informed if it doesn't tell you the nature of this hidden aspect.

I much prefer the tyranny imposed by democratic capitalism.

I think you mean Pope Donald.

Monarchy is a Global phenomena.

Yep, but we know that a two state solution is just a two state solution.

Are you saying that this is the best that can be hoped for?

You're probably right.

For example if four men were on the gorilla he would not be pinned, his arms vs their weight; he wins

I will say this then, it greatly depends on strength, courage and weight of those men.

If we are talking about some men who weight 60 kilograms, dont work out and have no muscles, then gorilla could easily lift 30 of them all at the same time. And that is just strength of gorilla's arms. Gorilla's legs, teeth and maybe even nails mean much more than few casualties there.

It’s japans aging population that is averse to crime

They have low birth rates because they removed focus on family and placed focus on job and studying.

Still, other countries have low birth rates too.

Calvinism has a lot more in common with Islam.

Is Jesus the son of Mary flesh and blood in heaven now?

In Japan, you have free speech as well to say whatever you want there.

There is even manga promoting rape and murder.

But Japan has some of the lowest homicide rates in the world, much lower than USA and much lower than almost any country now.

Trump has demonstrated his utter contempt for the catholic church.  and for Catholics around the world.  He is a blasphemer. I don't think he is a genius  , but he's not stupid - but having said that - he also very clearly - NOT WISE. 

AI is no substitute for a Mars bar.

True.

Though an intelligent hybrid, might be able to experience the sugar rush, or even an orgasm.

Are you a bot?

Are you a stewardess?

naught is created

Thats a clear logical fallacy. If things dont need to be created in order to exist, then anything can exist as there is no limit to existence. Simply put, if there are no conditions for existence, then everything is possible, unicorns and Gods.

Actually, magic has proven healing properties, like religion. Religious people are much less depressed. It’s kinda like free pill for depression which also works. As much as I appreciate atheism, what would you rather have now, magic and purpose or empty randomness? Because the latter isnt comforting.

You are not nearly as funny as you think you are 

Thats a very good topic. Historians usually agree that Jesus existed, and gospels are very consistent in each copy of them ever found.

Rats!

No such thing as a working communist solution.

Just more ore less tyranny.

Communism is a bourgeois liberal's pipe dream, and an autocrat's excuse.

Sales tax is a regressive tax because it takes a bigger percentage of a lower-income person's income than a higher-income person's income. This means that sales tax hits the poor harder than the rich.

A long-term sales tax doesn't tax value from consumers at the point of sale, it taxes value proportionately as soon as it is implemented. Value is not the same as dollars spent. If half my money is covered in paint and made unusable, the burden is the same as if I paid 50% of my money to the government.

Sorry wrong sub forum forum.

And Like I said, for the everyday person in the street (the majority), everything is exactly the same as before.

The minority are those that concern themselves with the sort of stuff that you refer to.

So as I see it, there isn't a solution, other than the one that the Israelis are currently working on....Which isn't a feasible solution...So not a solution.

Where to go?

1 gorilla vs 14 men. That is more of a very grey area.
