Over time our standard of living has risen and now, typical problems include that ou forgot to charge your cell phone or your nearby coffee shop is out of your favorite blend. Are you a man of God?Well, first, what is 'god'? How do you define it? Are they male, female, both, or neither? How do you know this? Until you can explain what this 'god' is, I can't say if I am a believer. It's like asking me if I know the Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Most claim of what a god is either defies reality or is self-contradictory. I have a game I play with Christians, in which I point out you can either have free will, or you can have a god that is omniscient. You can't have both at the same time. I point out that if god knows everything you will do from the moment of conception until your death, then we cannot have free will. Invariably, they'll say that "god doesn't make you do anything." I then point out that I never said she did, only that free will and omniscience are polar opposites, never the twain ahll meet. I have been am agnostic since about 1987. I was, however, incorrect. Aron Ra, a famous YouTuber, public speaker and atheist, pointed out something nhat I learned around 2014. There are only two possible conditions with respect to one's beliefs: either you believe in your heart-of-heearts that there is a god, or you don't. If you don't, you're an atheist. It was at that point I realized I'd bee an atheist since '87, I just didn't knw it. I'm still an agnostic, as I do not know whether or not there are any god(s), but at this point I do not believe there are any. |
