Erm - one's a flying pink strawman?
--- Quote from: Kid van Pervert on 25 Jan 2008, 19:02 ---I don't think they care about those theists that aren't contained within a very specific yet very large set that believes there is a omnipresent, omnibenevolent, omniscient cloud being who has been and is active in the events of the worldfixate upon him.

Who says that's even the dominant theme in Christianity? Not one single priest I've ever talked to thinks of God as the big buddy up in the clouds. They view God as omnipresent, omnibenevolent and omniscient but to think that he's just a slightly bigger organism is to completely ignore the idea that he's supposed to be, above all of those omniadjectives, omnipotent.
Since we're all talking about this in terms of science and logic, here's a puzzler for you - if God is omnipotent, won't He or She have already seen your arguments coming? If God's supposed to be taken on faith, would God design a universe where He or She could be proven to either exist or not exist?
Zerodrone's argument seems to boil down to the fact that there are things out there beyond our comprehension, and that those things actually do exist or they do happen. His postulation is that it's not a significant set of steps to go from "there are things out there we don't understand" to "I believe in God."

He is, rather, the condition of possibility of any entity whatsoever, including ourselves. He is the answer to why there is something rather than nothing. God and the universe do not add up to two, any more than my envy and my left foot constitute a pair of objects."

So god is in effect a concept that has no material effect on the world? In that case I guess you can have your god I guess, but dont expect me to stop ridiculeing prayer.
Jackie Blue:
Yeah, man. You ridicule those religious types! MAJOR PWNAGE, man!
