If God were real, you wouldn’t need a book

Even Shinto has 'holy spirits'. The Japanese call them Kama. Other cultures (such as the American Indian call them other names.

Thanks for providing my point.

Correct and my assumption is based on the fact that there is literally nothing happening today that would lead us to believe that the Christian God exists.

You cannot make the evidence just disappear, Void.

Not certain occurrences, all occurrences. People of all religions will attribute certain events to their deity. They do that because they ALREADY believe in a deity, not because there's any reason to attribute events to a deity.

You cannot discard the arguments of everyone, Void.

The Universe is not random equations.

True!

A cosmic nebula is a random dust cloud within a random dust cloud within a random dust cloud ... for which no one can predict the behavior of even a single particle. What are you talking about?


Who are you claiming is predicting the behavior of which particles in which cosmic nebulae?



Which accurate predictions are you claiming are being made with the equations you posted?

I guess to him, a pair of dice is a computer.

I'm not going to waste time on a poster who denies and does not fathom that matter and energy behave in predictable ways in accordance with universal mathematical principles.

The Universe is not 'mathematical principles'. It's just a dust cloud.

Dice are not random equations either.

Yes, people who aren't superstitious can become superstitious.

True, but what makes you think Christianity is 'superstition'?

 

[Into the Night]

Yes, things happen that religious people attribute to their deity, despite the fact that there's no reason to attribute them to a deity.

You can't make the evidence just disappear, Void.

 

[Into the Night]

Correct. Most religious people don't attribute EVERY event to a deity.

What about them?

Inversion fallacy. Evasion. Answer the question put to you.

 

[Into the Night]

What was the reason that is unique to Christianity?

None.

Einstein went over your head

Random number mathematics is not Einstein. Neither are dice. Nothing but possibly a bird some aircraft, and some rain clouds went over my head recently.

Translation: "I'm tipping my king rather than try to learn something."

I get it. You haven't learned anything on JPP in all the time you've been posting here, and you aren't about to ruin a perfect track record now by learning some science. You hang tough, kid.

You didn't answer any of my questions.

You don't post in good faith ... mostly because you are an uneducated moron.

Yet, you follow this up with discussing certain occurrences (as you did before).

I wasn't asked a question. That is a statement.

The fact that you are now making up grammar rules, in addition to word definitions, is noted.

I don't need to make disappear that which doesn't exist.

Things happening and things existing is not evidence of a deity.

You didn't answer any of my questions!

There's no point in wasting time on that. You do not ask questions in good faith.

You stalked me demanding I prove the canonical Buddhist text Dhammapada acknowledges the existence of deities, and when I proved it you ran away from the thread never acknowledging I had been correct.

True, but what makes you think Christianity is 'superstition'?

Because Christians believe that an imaginary force, their god, is influencing events in the world.
