yes, i understand my quote came from elsewhere
"In any case, I think it's fair to say that the Christian bible is rife with contradictions, including the value of faith, which, as a nullifidian, I define as believing something without evidence, or in opposition to existing evidence."
not sure why you think the Bible declares any better faith, but i would ask you why you would likely have no problems flying commercial, even though you arent versed in airframe or LOX technology? something like that. Isnt that "faith?"

My mother says I'm going to hell.
snytiger6 comments on Jan 26, 2021:
You might want to look up how the concept of hell was added after the Zoroastrians conquered the Jews, and the Jews took on some of the Zoroastrian beliefs as a result. Yes, hell and the war in heaven was originally a Zoroastrian belief.

Opinion | 'Lord of the Flies,' Revisited

Rutger Bregman completely missed the point, Lord of the flies is not about children or there nature it is about ideology verses reason and an attempt to explain why political and religious extremism reasserts itself time after time, no matter how much society in general relies on science and logic.

KKGator comments on Jan 21, 2021:
Nope. There is NO credible, verifiable evidence of the existence of any gods.
As far as I'm concerned, that means no gods exist. None of them.
If verifiable evidence is ever presented, I'll reconsider my position.
Unless or until that happens, I have absolutely no reason to posit that there ...
bbyrd009 replies on Jan 24, 2021:
@KKGator "How do you know "what was meant anyway"?
The question was whether god(s) exists?"
i know--or rather suspect--what was meant bc i have learned, or at least started learning, the naive dialectic, in which the Bible was written. And wadr if "existence" implies "objective evidence" then that is prolly the wrong metric anyway? *If someone tells you "here He is, over here," don't go looking...* could easily be a rabbi-speak way of saying "understand we are using allegory here"
"The OP didn't mention anything about money.
There are lots of things people "worship".
None of them have to have anything to do with "gods"."
ha well so you say, but wadr that is *your* definition, and may not best rep the reality of a mythology, where "gods" could be just a term used to identify what is being worshipped? Does *Mammon* "exist" of course not, but do many worship *Mammon* whether they would admit it or not? Does *Moloch* "exist" surely not, but did many Jews sacrifice their children to "him" regardless?
so maybe the point is not to anthropomorphize gods, like a believer would, but to see that despite lack of existence they are nonetheless very real in a sense? Believers are waiting for Jesus to return, literally, even though that cannot be Quoted from the Bible, not anywhere. You have rejected that bullshit, havent you? Or no?

@JeffMurray strikes me as splitting hairs, but i could easily be wrong. You would not say that you believe God does not exist then?
@McFlewster and I were having a discussion on a post by @SohnJose about questioning believers.

and wadr it is no less fallacious than your post here; i say this bc as an atheist, you "believe" that there is no God, right? And your premise revolves around, essentially, whether or not Yah "exists," or iow whether one can point to "objective evidence" of Him, is this more or less right?

The key, which you atheists keep sneaking into EVERYTHING, is believing IN god. Wondering if a god (read IT) MIGHT exist is the right way to put it.
Stop trying to sound so smart; it shows

@Storm1752 to that i would say "welcome to Unknown God," but few are comfortable with an undefined Creator i guess
"So is it the 'Tree of All Knowledge?' Or the Tree of Some Knowledge? Or just the Tree of What is Knowable?"
just guessing myself, but i suspect the passage is meant to express how (especially western thinking) ppl become "know-it-alls," as you have already indicated, whichever kind of "believer" they are, atheist or "christian"
