Pondering 'God'

[Brant Gaede]

I have always had a passion for natural redheads. I find them to be incredibly erotic.

I know you do not mean the CEO of Viacom...

Adam:

Yes, I was about to say that only, I thought it may be unfounded so I refrained.

Now, I see what you mean. Yes, like leaves in autumn, they do seem to set the cold wind ablaze especially when the sunlight hits their hair just right.

Boy, we'll need a few sessions before I get to know how you make those cognitive jumps. Hahaha.

I've been chewing on this idea for quite a bit and I've just found my stand on the matter of 'God' existing as a fact. Not surprisingly, the conclusion is: No. God does not exist since the concept of God is based on a supernatural entity belonging to the supernatural realm that he cannot exist in natural realm.

It is because I have never experienced conversing to a talking, burning bush ...

Even if you had had the subjective experience of a burning, talking bush giving you a 'celestial message', this would constitue no evidence of the existence of the supernatural. For it would be impossible to conduct any proof that it was a god communicating via the talking bush and not just a hallucination on your part.

Statements like "God exists" / "God's will is ..." reflect a thinking error which presents a mere belief (which can't be verified by any evidence) as a fact.

The question is that do we have any scientific evidence of a Jesus/counter-part figure ever existing?

No.

You both have clearly never made love with a redheaded woman.

Looks like the god discussion has quickly been brought down to earth to other "heavenly" pleasures.

In that context, I wonder what creature Rand's "rational man" must be who "only finds pleasure in rational actions" (Galt said that I think). Such restrictions must narrow down the gamut of pleasures considerable for the "rational man". I don't get the impression that I have missed much in not having encountered an exemplar of the "rational man" so far ...

But wait - maybe he doesn't exist at all? So as with Santa or God, my question to all who claim existence of Rand's rational man: can you provide any evidence that such being exists? ;)

Ms. Xray:

Sure I can.

One, you still are posting here.

Two, Brant hasn't had a drone take out your house or apartment.

Incredibly rational folks here.

Now would you actually like to have a serious discussion about it?

You would not be allowed to use the words "objective" or "subjective" with values, because we agree that we do not agree on the definitions.

I just look in a mirror…wait a minute, no, that’s how I prove God exists. As for Santa, he's actually the one who died for your sins, there's even photographic evidence:

u no why the israilis never got along with the Bushes? Because the last time they listened to a bush, they spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness! :-)
