OK, having given your comment more thought I am ready to respond. I am using the language of theists so that you, being theist, might follow my thinking. I am a communications specialist and have been trained to consider my audience. It is not becau…
Oh my, I will have to reread your post and think on it before I can respond. I can at least say now that my answer is not "The Big Bang" because even that was considered a silly idea not long ago, and who knows what silliness awaits us in the near f…
Hi, sorry for the delay. I had a very nice long visit with my dear family and haven't had a chance to respond until now. Did you miss me?
So what you would like to do is split the human reality into parts, the physical and the spiritual. Then you s…
Ah, so by physical you just mean without God. That is a spiritual construct already, so it doesn't fit within the atheist perspective from a logical standpoint. Again, you don't miss that third arm because it's not considered part and parcel of huma…
It sure seems to me that every time I read or hear what someone says regarding atheism they are wrong, but I only have one person's experience, including reading, yes. I will give you your referenced example of the exception to my perceived rule.
A…
Well that makes a lot more sense. Of course, to someone who just happens along onto your blog, it sure does appear from your title that you are trying to communicate with atheists. It's unfortunate for us that we are used to help Christians understa…
Well, I'm sorry to disturb you. Hope your holidays were warm and wonderful.
Neither of us need play semantic games. Your original request was for the 'real' atheist to stand up. So what are we trying to do here? Are you saying that atheists actually do believe in God even when they profess not to? That would be an interesti…
I think we're off track here. Obviously, there can be no proof, as that is the nature of faith, yes? The question was who an atheist thanks at Thanksgiving. I was trying to help you understand the answer. If you want to insist atheists can't celebra…
You are asking for a discussion, but you provided a quote. The quote makes little sense from a semantic point of view. It only makes sense if you believe in a god that has the particular qualities and history as stated. From a language and logic sta…
It sure seems like you are dismissing my use of the word love, as well as feeling thankful. One loves whether or not it is returned. One can love life. The love is real. Your argument that one needs to love or thank someone in order for it to be mea…
I'm completely unfamiliar with the Bible. Your quote doesn't use plain english, so I'm afraid I have no idea how it responds to my previous comment.
I see, so when I use the word love you think I mean God. To me I mean love, as in "I love you." I don't say I God you, so I don't feel I mean what you say I mean. This is your semantics argument you referred to. When I say there is no God because I…
So then, will you share what other reasons theists choose to be good? It seems to me that morals came to be from the experiences they bring. Treating people with respect brings more of the same, generally. Treating people poorly brings the reverse.…
Why be thankful? I suppose I can use a theological term: because it centers the soul. Because it is the right thing to do. Because it expresses the love we share. Because we are aware of how awful the world can be and how much suffering there is and…
No, I don't believe the only reason Christians follow good morals is through fear of a vengeful God. I didn't say that either. But it is the most common reason I hear, and it is scary to hear it. I don't actually talk to atheists about atheism. I do…
