If there are no whole truths but only half truths, things like religion are at best, half of a half of a half truth.

If you weren't so angry and abusive all the time, you might start reading properly and understand what is being said a lot sooner.

I don't see the point in erecting screens, especially opaque ones, like religion or faith, to look at beautiful, love, grace, intelligence, good, bad, or whatever. I'm suggesting it is far more honest or true if you like, to consider those things themselves directly, in their own right, for...

Thing is, when not being cajoled, promised or threatened by religion or faiths, those things are made so much more honest.

For goodness sake, that is my point. Science does not stop searching whereas religious belief always had its conclusion. If you weren't so angry and abusive all the time, you might start reading properly and understand what is being said a lot sooner.

So useful, no one would even be aware of those (presently) (Un)Observable evidences. So useful, there is an infinitely long list of problems that physics solved. So useful, ironically you employed its usefulness here, by the wide array of scientific understanding with the application of...

The reply was honest. You just have your usual problem of recognizing one. You may as well have said at one time science stops and thunder was not ascertainable by the current science. But that never meant it made it any more possible that Thor could or was be responsible for...

Except the more I understand about religion, the less there is to like.

I just think there is something fundamentally lacking in what's called the human spirit, which needs requires or demands a religious reason to do good. To have to be commanded or threatened by something in order to act virtuously seems to me contrary to what can be expected from the best of...

Of course I deny all those things you say which aren't true. And science hasn't stopped. You're confusing it with religion which stopped when it began with a conclusion.

I think you're right nitro. If people thought more about questions of God in the way Einstein apparently did, the world might be a better place. But he famously didn't believe in a personal God. He often expressed God in terms that was the Universe he understood. Understood better than most and...

Einstein and Spinoza manifest God essentially as just another word for the universe itself.

If it is beyond comprehension, you don't know what laws, what physics did or didn't exist at or before big bang. Beyond comprehension sits God of thunder. Beyond comprehension sits God of lightning. Beyond comprehension sits God of the universe. When things beyond comprehension and superstition...

Chapter 0. Omissions : The Problem of Infinite Regress To avoid the question begging every chapter.

you're a monkey's uncle?

You are partly correct. My response was to a typical evangelical, distorted, knee jerk comment. Why can't you let a word I say go without some sort of angry irrational knee jerk typically inaccurate comment? Matthew 7:3

All except 'His' son apparently! Which 'He' had killed! ....and some others too. Lots of others. Whatever you want to call that, love ain't it.

Good quote indeed. Moral actions speak louder than religious words.

You worship a concept that images its indulgence in the most abominable crimes against humanity and yet pass all of it off because you think it loves you. You should look again at whose crazy. But true to form, for lack of a rational response, it's straight back to the name calling for...

Those who liked God's Bible plan also liked the autobiographical manifesto of an ultimate National Socialist. Another highly obnoxious book on a similar theme. One that includes lots of love for people and country, utopia as an ideal, and the annihilation of a whole race to dodge around...
