Humans are not animals.
Only if a human does not use their intellect are they an animal.

There is a Spiritual war on-going right now.
Even by saying it's not a thing, you are picking a side and partaking.

most people don't understand basic linguistics falls apart without objective morality, free will, etc.

almost everything becomes nonsensical and you have to construct sentences completely differently


Yes, it's completely nonsensical

I honestly cannot fathom how people can not understand this, and contradict themselves within the same paragraph, it's complete nonsense.

Your language is restricting you from grasping reality. You say there is no real me/self and its an illusion while that is not true because if it was an illusion there would have to be a reality that this illusion is mimicing. What we have is THE reality, this is what consciousness is. A very complex mixture of reacting things. The scale of the possible determinism you refer to is way to complex to act like it means free will isnt "real" whatever that means in this context.

Also as I stated in an earlier post, quantum mechanics which are - from todays scientific stance of knowledge - REALLY random. This mixed in randomness probably creates an unpredictable mixture that we might know as free will.

In the end, I stand by my point, which is that the christian god is a nonsensical self-contradicting pile of bs.


you literally said there is no self and it is an illusion in your previous post, you are contradicting yourself now man

There's nothing random about free will... which is why it's free will. Nothing random about sending a neural impulse to move your arm, for example.

If you actually understood quantum mechanics, you'd understand that the randomness is on the order of h-bar/2, very small. As the particle number of a system increases, it very quickly approaches classical behaviour. Your theory is to connect this randomness to free will? What mathematical model have you proposed?

i've been pressing him to (using a purely naturalistic worldview since he rejects God) explain how free will can exist


in his worldview fundamentally everything is just physics, quantum mechanics, etc. so everything is ultimately determined or random (at some level in probabilistic quantum mechanics)

if his brain is an outcome of this physics there is no room for free will, an honest naturalist must be deterministic (or we can accept his random or indeterministic worldview that things happen, at least on the quantum mechanic level, due to probabilistic causation -- it still isn't free will).

there is no free will without God

Yup. That was true for a long period of time, still is in some areas and is also true in the bible by the way.

A lot of humans societies however developed and moved on from this because of empathy - which is a feeling that is also originating from the same logic.


slavery was never presented as morally good in the bible, the text is largely descriptive of existing social realities rather than prescriptive commands that say ‘you shall have slaves.’

in fact, people do a lot of bad shit in the bible and it's not prescriptive saying their behavior is good.

morals vary from person to person... there is no truth. it is either or not.. it is or not ..a lie is a lie or not ...the world is full of contradictions .. if i believe something that is wrong am I lying when I share it? it is my truth but not thee truth .. If I am spoiled and learned my morals from birth my morals are not the same as someone whom were not spoiled maybe.

Lets say I will tax everyone that works for me to pay for a Road ..so I can make a higher profit..Then I will tax them more to pay for a army to protect that profit.. Then i will give myself a tax break and tax what my workers need to buy, to pay for Military budgets. Then say if I tax the rich they will leave lol ... Fvck Trump..I never claimed to be perfect ..i am just a idiot bro lmao ..But i see my own reality

"there is no truth"

is a truth statement, it is a contradiction to say "there is no truth"

therefore there must be truth.

even basic linguistics demands truth and reason, which demands justification or grounding in something that transcends material

Again, its just a word. Whats a criminal in one place might not be a criminal.in another.
For the sake of the argument, if someone steals or hurts someone and I witness it, I report it. Fine answer? And now tell me where you wanna go with this?


so sarod says its just words and nothing can really be known? but its sarod using words............ ?

because saurod says so.............
if your going to go after scripture its only proper to post version(translation) chapter and verse then your argument. rather than because saurod says so in his own godhood......



A lot of animals eat each other and a lot of them dont. Most human societies never did and some still do to this day. Spirituality is not a thing.


because saurod godhood says so.......

never been anyone in the history of mankind more impressed with themselves than 'atheists. the funny thing is they are a product of accidental random processes but in their case this random process has produced the greatest verson of mankind. .................... thats what the random accidential chemical process in their brain is telling them......

one would think it would be the 'atheist that would be the most reserved ? literally living in a existence that if there claims are true they cant possibly ever know anything
