If you were a theist, how would you set about proving that morality comes from god? Are there any good arguments for a god-created morality? I can't think of any.

I'd like to throw my hat into the ring. As a response to this video, I have written this blog post : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GubZuGdsfkw Before I go further, I need to make some clarifications and distinctions in terms of atheism and agnosticism. Atheism is rejecting any belief that any kind...

[quote user="eulercircles"] I was a little frustrated by the Porcfest debate because it was quite obvious that the other guy (Johnson?) was just playing a language game. [/quote] Of all the comments here - I would like to address an apology to you. (and hopefully my comments won't spark...

Hello everyone, I listened to this debate earlier today and started listening to the audio book of Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" this afternoon. Very early in the book Dawkins quotes Stephan Weinberg's book "Dreams of a Final Theory". I felt this quote from Weinberg...

I don't know what straw man post means. I'm 10 minutes into Stef's video on agnosticism but here are my first thoughts on your replies: I guess I'm not an agnostic? Going by your assumptions on my beliefs, I disagree with pretty much all of it. I believe my definition of "God"...

Hey guys, I am actually an atheist, and I have successfully discerned in my own life that god cannot exist by its own definition, and falls over the trip-cord known to us a logic and reasoning. I am, however, experiencing a problem that happens to deal more with our naturalistic universe that has caused...

So, in this forum I'm SURE that this has been discussed more than once. But I've been looking through it (not extensively) and I've decided that I don't feel like searching through all the threads in order to find where my question is answered. I'd like to know WHAT is Stefan's...

I am a fellow agnostic, but I reject your argument. Empirical evidence is neither needed or relevant to evaluating the truth or falsity of a logical statement such as "self-contradictory entities cannot exist." Logic is not validated by observation. It is validated or falsified by aherence...
