Christian God Disproven

Post Reply New Topic

well, at least I'm reading from wikipedia

In any sensible pertinent discussion the participants do not argue about accepted definitions, they agree amongst themselves as to what their words shall mean and proceed from there to discuss implications. General accepted definitions are out of common usage and they are frequently too amorphous to be useful for serious discussion.

Let me guess: Hold 'Em? The probabilites involved in Hold 'Em are not complicated in comparison to most any situation you can imagine where probability would be useful in determining outcomes. Stud8 is several times more complex than Hold 'Em, and probabilities that I tend to like to work on are several times more complex than Stud8. Obviously, it's a little more difficult because of a lack of a piece of paper and a pencil, but it gets easier each time I play.

Obviously, no limit add psychological odds to the mix, but I doubt you're assigning numbers from reasoned equations instead of "feeling" your way.

Even if your claim that no hard numbers can exist is true (I accept that my numbers were not absolute, but I believe they were fairly good approximations), we must consider intuitive calculation (which was, actually, the foundation for my probability calculations). What does this mean? It's a little more complicated. Once you've worked with probability enough, you come to recognize which things are more likely than others, and calculating the actual numbers becomes merely the routine and, to some extent, ongoing practice.

(Edit: Also, take your ego out of your arguments. Your beliefs are not necessarily absolute. You need to discard logical flaws as they come to you.)



Actually, I kind of prefer the designation of anti-Christian. That describes the situation rather well, I think.

There are lots of gods an atheist can disbelieve in. To limit it to the idiotic Christian God is to demonstrate a sense of personal persecution.

Except:

1. He admitted to being only against the Christian God.
2. The adjectives are quite clearly unnecessary and only serve to show bias.

May I express my doubts as to his faith in Zeus or Odin?

Only if you also provide proof of his research into those religions.

And I wouldn't recommend claiming that it's obvious that somebody doesn't believe in the Greek gods or the Norse gods, especially to a Discordian or to a Norse. Especially the latter. The Discordian would actually say that you are right, but you're also wrong.

You make me appreciate your choice of the name "MrLooney"

Your assumption being... what? That there are still people who follow the Norse beliefs? I have met at least two. Or that Discordianism exists (as an actual religion, not a parody religion as some people seem to assume)? I have a friend who's a Discordian Chaplain, and he would not appreciate your assumption that Discordianism is inherently false because you can't comprehend a religion based on the idea of a paradoxical universe.

Er, I'm actually more inclined to believe in Odin. At least he's not described as perfect, omnipotent, omniscient and so on. That's a definite plus in the probability factor.

Odin's figure is quite easy to reproduce in modern days anyways....An old man with white hair... (ok the helm part makes it tedious) with an eyepatch (i think ^.- ) and 2 crows on his shoulders (his companions, if i remember right).

With some genetic engineering we could make a eight-legged horse, too.

Hehhhh, i doubt that'd be a very good idea <.<; I only mentionned how feasible reproducing his image would be.... <.<

Besides, are we even sure a eight legged horse would be viable? <.<

We could compromise with a tarantula on growth factor. Most certainly more feasible that producing a computer with omnipotence and omniscience which could be donated to Christians intent on having a god.
