what do you think?
obviously female. I mean look at how everything turned out. <puts on flame suit>
Neither. How silly to think God has human qualities of any kind...
I've always thought of God as a transgendered individual
not quite. he's just referred to as he. i don't think of a guy with a white beard, but when you actually sit and think what do you see?Quote:

God's ungendered... neither male nor female.
If there is God, IT wouold probably want you to do your everyday activities and not think wether it was male or female.
But, since Jehove is guys name today, it might have been male, if it was a historical person of some kind.
Wtf with you guys telling what there is or what there isn't? You little shitbricks know things, right...
I know god's name wasn't "Jehove", at least not according to the bible. That was the name the Germans gave god because the name is unpronounceable as written.Quote:

I've always pondered the sex of rocks. My opinion is that hard granite-like rocks are male & the shiny, crystaline sort are female.
:P
I don't know what all the fuss is about. I'm male.
I've always kind of hoped that God's appearance would depend on what type of person you were.
For example if you beat women, God would appear to you as a woman.
If you were abusive to animals, God would appear as an animal.
If you were racist, God would appear as whatever race you oppressed.
And so on and so forth.
Since we're talking about an imaginary character.., it's open to personal interpretation..Quote:

The character can be Christian.., Jewish.., Muslim.., Hindu.., Buddhist..
The character can be male or female.., both.., or none!
The character can wear a red suit and give your presents..
The character can be a cute bunny and hide eggs..
The character can be a magical fairy and give you money for your teeth..
There can be multiple characters.., not just one..
The only limitation.., is your imagination and willingness to believe..

Haven't you watched Heroes?
God is a cockroach.
god is a transsexual hermaphrodite.
whoa... of all these things, god is everyone one of them but real huh? what a life we live in.

God is perfect, it is more perfect to be real then imaginary - therefore God is real. x
I always thought that was a pretty good argument, but then it has the flaw of - so 'the most perfect island' is perfect, it is more perfect to be real then imaginary so 'the most perfect island' must exist. The problem is that it doesn't.
But then the island is just materialistic whereas God is something completely different so the argument doesn't work for the island, where is does for God.
Heh, proving God by definition.
Something to debate. ^^
That's not the best argument I've seen in favor of God's existence. The watchmaker analogy is much better.
so remind me again, why are we going to argue over this?

God Is. Thats all there is to it
That's why religion is a blessing for some men and doom for others: You try to understand what you can't understand.
Hmm, the telelogical argument - my favourite quote for that goes something along the lines of...Quote:

It's just so random ^^
My favourite one is the probablity argument, it's not as well known but is great - look it up if you're interested in philosophy Vashti ^_^

I don't need to. Your argument is fundamentally flawed because it assumes God is perfect. Even if one assumes the bible is literal truth (and I don't), there are plenty of examples of God's imperfections in there.
This argument is soooo old. Mish & I were over this ages ago in a recent thread (look up the thread). The final conclusion (the same one Russell, Dawkins, et al arrived at) is that you can't rationalize belief. Its apples & oranges. Those who try just end up looking like idiots.
:P
And the argument would STILL be flawed if you assumed 'God' was *imperfect*. It a null argument. For the reason I just stated.Quote:

Here's the link again for those who want it:

You are right. i just should have said that the argument she presented wasn't the least bit compelling to me. I think the watchmaker argument at least requires some thought before it is dismissed.
And just to save time, here's the other thread. The whole gamut is here, from atheists to true believers.

The watchmaker? Feh. We debunked that in philosophy 101.
... why take a class in philosophy?
Anyways, the most concise way to sum up my religious beliefs are by saying I believe in (and at least recognize) the greatness of what Jesus taught. Whatever God he was talking about I believe in. And whatever lessons he gave I just recognize as being the greatest moral authority
Why? To open my mind. Learn how to think. Uhm. Learn the origins of the math you so value. Math and philosophy go hand in hand. Hell, a huge chunk of philosophy consists of logic problems.
Learning how to think is best done in a math or science course, plain and simple. The "philosophy" of math is just stuff that can be dumbed down and debated so everyone feels smart
Philosophy is awesome. It would be good for you, DM. It would help you stretch your brain in new ways. I actually can't believe you haven't taken it yet. It is usually a required course.
Yeah, Mr. Negativity. If you were to sit your ass down in a philosophy class and actually take it serious you'd be surprised. It'd change you for the better. Who knows, you might even get laid after a semester or two of it. Believe me, it's anything but dumbed down.
