    Christopher Hitchens, Bertrand Russell and Voltaire have a conversation

    Your metaphor makes no sense. Although I am quite sure Stevie Wonder is smarter than me. The man was a musical genius. So I agree with point 3. But I do not see how any of this proves you have a magic 6th sense that you cannot demonstrate.

    Satan and Hell

    Rule 25 Freedom of Speech: Your freedom of speech here comes with the responsibility to speak decently within the parameters of the rules. In other words, by registering, you agree not to be vulgar, divisive, insulting, profane, etc. (read all the rules). It helps to try and treat others as...

    Satan and Hell

    You are claiming to have supernatural knowledge with no proof at all. You are suggesting that you know the true nature of God and Satan, you know they exist, you know that Hell is a place outside our reality, etc. Those are astounding claims. Just the ability to collect evidence from outside...

    CARM is not a great place to learn about natural theology.

    Sam Harris once said, "if you use The Bible as a guide to understand the natural world you will get everything wrong." If you took a grade school science test with The Bible as your guide you'd get an F every time. You'd say the Earth formed before the stars, the Earth had water on it before...

    Christopher Hitchens, Bertrand Russell and Voltaire have a conversation

    So your arguemtne is that because I cannot touch a rainbow we should all belive that you have a magic 6th sense that let's you talk to God? Okie dokie. Appeal to Force logic fallacy.

    Jesus, religion or reality......

    Can you link to it please? Because I know of no empirical evidence that proves a global flood. Changing the name does not make it rational. Can you prove anything in The Bible happened? I have yet to see any evidence of Jesus. Can you show me how the things I see every day prove that Jesus...

    Thought Experiment

    I admit that I have no earthly idea what you are talking about. What are you asking me to prove or explain?

    Thought Experiment

    I do not see how you proved that the creation stories in Islam and Hinduism are not true. And when you say 'all experts agree' it is meaningless - actually its a logic error called Appeal to Authority. Many experts used to think the world was flat. Did not make it true. There is no such thing...

    Christopher Hitchens, Bertrand Russell and Voltaire have a conversation

    So your arguement is that because I cannot touch a rainbow we should all believe that you have a magic 6th sense that let's you talk to God? A sense that you cannot prove in any way? Okie dokie.

    Jesus, religion or reality......

    This is the Begging the Question (i.e Circular Arguement) logic fallacy. It is a well understood error in thinking that even CARM rejects as proof for Christ. Here is the definition of this error from CARM: Begging the Question Fallacy – Assuming the thing to be true that you are trying to...

    Jesus, religion or reality......

    OK Ah - this is more of your unproveable, subjective claims of supernatural experiences that you think is proof of something. Like someone who claims to have seen a ghost in 1978. Got it. OK OK Take care.

    "The" Cosmological Argument

    I read it. It is vague. And this is an empty ad hominin - further proving my point that you are intentionally vague because you have no concrete answer. OK The problem is you cannot list the specific actions we need to take to do what Jesus said. Your equivocation is transparent. I go...

    A New Bible Translation Reveals a Different Message of Paul

    If The Bible is the single source of the word of God then maybe we should wait until they figure out the translation. If Christians disagree and find alternate meanings then it seems insane to base your life on The Bible.

    Warning To Atheists

    Appeal to Force logic fallacy. You cannot threaten us with vague supernatural punishment for unbelief until you prove that God and Jesus are real. How did you prove to yourself that God was real and all the other religions were false?

    Jesus, religion or reality......

    Circulus in Probando logic fallacy. It is not rational to use The Bible to prove The Bible. I do not understand this sentence. What tangible evidence do you have for Jesus that we do not have for Osiris? I think the only evidence you have is the Codex Sinaiticus Bible written 300 years after...

    Christopher Hitchens, Bertrand Russell and Voltaire have a conversation

    We can prove sight to a blind man. You cannot prove your magic 6th sense. Hence your analogy fails. How? A blind person could hold a series of objects while someone describes them using sight. We'd prove that people have a way to see what the blind can only experience by touch. And you can do...

    It is true that blind people cannot see rainbows. Thank you.

    Jesus, religion or reality......

    I do not believe something is true until we prove it. How did you determine that The Bible is truth but the Quran and Vedas and hundreds of others texts are not? Did you just pick your favorite and decide to believe it? Or did you have any kind of evidence for Christ that does not exist for...

    "The" Cosmological Argument

    Its just never gonna happen. Equivocation is all we get. But the continued equivocation in and of itself speak to Christians and their belief in God. People with supreme knowledge do not equivocate. They explain, they teach, they correct lesser intellects and get them on the path. If I had...

    Christopher Hitchens, Bertrand Russell and Voltaire have a conversation

    Ooh! I can do fictional dialogue too! stigg: I know what God wants us to do. I know how the universe began. I know of Heaven and Hell and places beyond our reality. I have a personal relationship with God. God talks to me. I know where we go when we die. I know that all other gods are false...
