If we take that step and agree that we are reasonably certain that we live in this universe, then we can say that we can be certain of negatives that are logically impossible. For instance, your god is logically impossible, so we can be certain that your god does NOT exist. It is impossible, however to be certain that your god does exist. So, maybe I should state it that we can be certain of negatives or disproved things.<BR/><BR/>Of course, given the fact that we've had to accept without certainty that we don't live in the matrix, what I originally said is still true.GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-5512377410477936322008-09-27T20:09:00.000-04:002008-09-27T20:09:00.000-04:00It only means that if you are certain no one can b...It only means that if you are certain no one can be 100% certain then your statement is false and there are things one can be certain about. That doesn't by default mean that what I propose is the thing to be certain about, only that it's illogical to say no one can be certain. It's like saying "there are no absolutes." It's self-defeating. Truly you expect logic to bend for you and it doesn't work that way.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737176726360623655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-67973505780453310792008-09-26T16:39:00.000-04:002008-09-26T16:39:00.000-04:00Reasonably, yes.Of course, you're trying to do the...Reasonably, yes.<BR/><BR/>Of course, you're trying to do the old "Well if you are certain that we can't be certain, then that means that you are self-contradicting yourself and therefore I can be (and am) certain that god exists," shtick. Pointing out logical impossibilities is not the same as being certain of a truth claim.GCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09744295225958022872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-23592714479024014992008-09-26T10:27:00.000-04:002008-09-26T10:27:00.000-04:00"We can never be 100% sure of anything.

In regards to the post, t...@anonymous: a bit, yeah. <BR/><BR/>In regards to the post, though, I definetly aggree with what GCT is saying - it is impossible to be completely, 100% certain that god exists. There is always some possibility, some niggling doubt, that you're wrong. <BR/><BR/>But then again, it wouldn't require any belief, any true faith, if there was no possibility of being incorrect. <BR/><BR/>This is where I think a lot of christians get it wrong. I'm not saying they're praying up the wrong tree, but just have a simple misconseption. It seems to me that the xtians you describe have come to the point where they have encountered evidence that contradicts their beleifs, and have thus decided to disregard anything and everything that conflicts with their beliefs, thus providing a neat, tidy, infallible sanctuary of ignorance. <BR/><BR/>And that's not cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-67654348230744372202008-09-21T21:07:00.000-04:002008-09-21T21:07:00.000-04:00if I could, i'd certainly eliminate my comment abo...if I could, i'd certainly eliminate my comment above. although god infuriates me by what i perceive to be injustice, i think my comments were "over the top"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5246253500962288290.post-65792595839534449532008-09-18T21:55:00.000-04:002008-09-18T21:55:00.000-04:00I really don't see anywhere where my rage against ...I really don't see anywhere where my rage against god, jesus, and the supposed "holy" spirit can be posted so I'd just like to say that this "3-in-1" is the biggest pile of steaming cow patty shit that I have ever encountered. I hope that crown and nails hurt like a mofo. BTW jesus fuckwad, how come you cried out "my god, my god, why have you forsaken me"?<BR/><BR/>Could it be that your a fucking fraud who somehow thought if you prayed that God would save you? My thinking is that you really are the son of god and that the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. God is a fucking dickhead and you are too! As for the "holy" ghost, what's so "holy" about an evil fucking spirit like yourself?<BR/><BR/>As far as I'm concerned, the three of you can all go have a circle jerk. Oh, and god, how about a pearl necklace to go along with his crown?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
