Bigotry noted.It is not a question of whether you want to believe in an imaginary friend did it.
Repetitious bigotry noted. The reasoning Davey is using, as well as myself, is the philosophical definition of 'religion', which is "an initial circular argument with additional arguments stemming from it". We both believe (faith based) that the initial circular argument (that Jesus Christ exists and is who he says he is) is the truth. It is no different than you believing (faith based) that the atheistic initial circular argument (that no god(s) exist) is the truth. -- Both positions (initial circular arguments) are logically valid through the proof of identity. -- In short, whether you accept or deny a particular religion in favor of another one, your reasoning is the same... It boils down to putting faith in the truth of a particular initial circular argument...Not my problem. It is a question of looking at the reasoning you are using to maintain your fiction.
As to this part, it wasn't even a scientific discussion that you two were having; it was a religious discussion... Science doesn't have theories about past unobserved events. Talking about "the beginning of the universe" type stuff is talking about non-falsifiable theories (in other words, theories outside the realm of science). Davey happens to adhere to one religion, and you happen to adhere to another...Your post that i replied to is incorrect in the ways i stated. Your reasoning is false.
It is equally logically valid to a "god didn't do it" scenario for the reasons I described above...Personally i think believing a godidit scenario is bad enough in it self.
Mantras are typically deleted on sight as they are not substantive reasoning......deleted multiple 'you're lying' mantras... deleted 'you're ignorant' mantra...
