That doesn't make him, or Dawkins, right. He speaks of 'sheer coincidence' in meeting someone. May he live long enough to find out that absolutely nothing happens by coincidence. Coincidence is an illusion resulting from synchronicity, most likely designed to fool leading thinkers like this, in that they are never able to see beyond the veil.

Like gee, I wonder why you chose not to list any of the other definitions? You had to have read all of them first since they were at the top, but you then went to the next when you saw that it didn't back your point, right? And you know the one you listed could be used for anything, right? "I collect stamps all the time, collecting them is my interest of supreme importance- it's my religion!". Like it's very obviously the "colloquial" definition. But most importantly, do you seriously think that atheists are as interested in their lack of belief in God as theists are in their belief? Let's put it this way- if all theists left the Earth, do you think atheists would all sit around and talk about how much they don't believe in a god? Obviously not- what would there even be talk about lol? Now, if all atheists left the Earth, would theists still sit around and think about God? Yes, every single day lol. The only reason that "a-theism" even has any meaning is BECAUSE theists exist- like what do we call a non-unicorn believer? And how often do non-unicorn believers think about their lack of belief? Never, unless someone who believes in unicorns tells them to believe in them ("or you'll burn for eternity!!!" lol).

So you watch Alex again... and gain momentary relief from the distraction. Every day you are confronted with the reality that if there is no right or wrong... why is everything going so wrong in the world and in my life?

What if like magic, you woke up one day and were twice as good of a person as you were before? What if you experienced true happiness, and true love?

The ONLY thing that really matters is your meta-ethics, not your meta-physics. Do you consider any form of non-monarchical government (such as democracy or socialism) to be beneficial? Do you unnecessarily destroy the lives of poor, innocent animals and gorge on their bloody carcasses? Do you believe homosexuality and transvestism are moral? Do you consider feminist ideology to be righteous? If so, then you are objectively immoral, and your so-called "enlightened/awakened" state is immaterial, since it does not benefit society in any way.

The first definition is "complete trust or confidence in someone or something", and everyone has faith of some type.

But lack of proof does not mean lack of evidence, just a lack of overwhelmingly convincing evidence, although I have a feeling that God could fully reveal himself to a skeptic and the skeptic would still not be convinced.

Hey Alex, have you ever read “Reason; the only oracle of man” by Ethan Allen? I read it at the age of 10, and for a book that was wrote 240 years ago, it was book that helped open my eyes to the cult that my parents went to. It’s a fascinating read that shows the train of thought of a man who founded the state of Vermont, and his views on the church. It’s a great read, and I can’t recommend it more. You probably don’t read comments much on here, but if you do, I gotta to say I appreciate you. Stay beautiful and logical my friend.

I'm confused by your question of what we would expect the world to look like if it were created by a god vs if it existed by accident. Yes, if it existed by accident we might expect things to be messy, since without an organising force things do seem to get messy. But why would you expect it to be neat and lovely if it were created by a god? Would the perfect creator create something that was ceaseless pleasure? Is the best book one where all of the characters are having a great time the whole way through? Is the best tune one where it's your favourite note playing forever? Or does good creation tend to involve ebb and flow, peaks and troughs, tension and resolution?

We tell such stories because we live in such a world. Our narrative structures say nothing about the origins of the cosmos. The problem arises because of the omnipotence and omnibenevolence claims of many Christians.

@@Rogstin that's a classic question that has been answered ad nauseam. The Christian story is that God created the world good, gave man the responsibility to do either good or bad, and then when man rebelled, God cursed the entire world as punishment for that sin, and thus all pain and suffering and death are perfectly just results of this rebellion. That's why we say "thank God!" when somebody survives an accident. A skeptic would say "If God were real, that accident would never have happened!", but a rational person would respond, "God had no obligation to prevent that accident in the first place, and yet here I am still alive." That's essentially what "grace" means in the Scriptures. An undeserved gift. So this falling apart in the face of scrutiny exists nowhere but in your imagination.

Clearly Adam had to know that it was wrong to rebel against God since God told him not to do it. "Knowing good and evil" as it was stated in the original Hebrew means more like "deciding what is good and evil" or "experiencing good and evil" rather than "having intellectual knowledge of good and evil".

"He" may have been the same author who wrote the gospel now called "Luke," but that means little , as we don't know who "he" was. All explanations about the real identity of "Luke" are nothing more than guesswork from the church fathers, including the idea "he" was a companion of Paul. The only thing we can say with any certainty about "Luke" is that "he" borrowed heavily from "Mark" ( who's identity we also don't know.) Please read Galatians 1;11-24. The KJV version is probably the most honest. There is no road to Damascus, no vision of Jesus, no blinding of Paul. Instead we get a Christ revealed to Paul by "God", who "revealed his son in me, " by which Paul probably means he interpreted scripture ( ie the Jewish scripture) so as to create the Christ. This section also reveals Paul's total lack of interest in the remaining disciples and family ( in particular James, Jesus' brother) of a possibly once living flesh and blood Jesus. Hence the entirely fabricated nature of the supposedly cordial relationship between Paul and disciples of Jesus is revealed in Paul's own writing. If one looks at the original writings of Paul it becomes quite clear that the original disciples and followers of Jesus (the Nazarene sect) quite clearly hated Paul's guts, as they were philosophically and religiously opposed to him. The antagonism and conflict of religious ideas jumps out at you from Paul's writing. The author of Acts tried to paper over their differences.

When the Emperor Constantine declared himself to be the Summus Pontifex, what followed was more than ten centuries of Dark Ages, during which time people who professed Christ rather than Mary or the Popes, people who denied transubstantiation, were fed to lions or burned at the stake. During the Dark Ages, for a common person to read the Bible was a sin for which there was no forgiveness; and so the people were spoon-fed from the papist pulpit. The Bible was said to exist only in the Latin text and the common and largely illiterate people could learn the stories that were in the Bible from paintings and stained glass windows. Those who first made the Bible available in the language of the people were killed for their trouble; but when Martin Luther quoted Paul, of all people, the Protestant Reformation began. The gospel that saves is that Christ accomplished everything needed to save you from sin and death when he died on the cross for sins.
