Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

Stoic do you believe for a moment that the sun could both exist and not exist at the same moment. No matter which form of logic you use do you really think that is possible? Really?
But empirical observation doesn't lead to absolute certainty.

No, I don't believe that the sun could both exist and not exist at the same moment, based on empirical observation.

You don't believe? Or is it just simply impossible? Like a perfectly round square?

If I say I see the hand of God in nature that is a subjective experience or belief.
But it is Objective for me to see everything and force as part of the Whole. The Whole is the Deity. Objective.
That is not a logical syllogism. And I think you need to define your god - you said it wasn't "mindful" so what is it?
Definition? God is everything, every force, and all else.
But your OP.... Point 4 Such propositions are mind dependent. That is illogical.
If your mind and all others were destroyed, The galaxies and all would still be there.

After all, atheism has man, not God at the center of their worldview. Anything man can create, in this case, relative logic systems, where the law of non-contradiction is non-absolute, is all part of "nature".
It exists, in the mind of man...man created it, and man can communicate with it given that at least two minds agree on the assumptions, therefore it exists in nature, in the Real World.

The propositions themselves are mind dependent, that is, the verbal descriptions and associated mental constructs.
[QUOTE]The objects that these propositions signify exist independent of any labels. [QUOTE]
True.
The argument that has been going on here is who's propositions best capture the reality of the real world, it's laws and properties.

How do you KNOW that? Prove it logically or admit it is a bare assertion. BTW this sounds more like Pantheism rather than Deism.
Theism is about aware, interested, involved Gods. Deism is exactly the opposite.
And it isn't an assertion, it's an observation.
No God's mind would still be here. That was the whole point...

Then you don't know the difference.
Theism is about aware, interested, involved Gods. Deism is exactly the opposite.
And it isn't an assertion, it's an observation.
And, Deism:the belief in the existence of a supreme being, specifically of a creator who does not intervene in the universe
It doesn't say that god is the universe, and it says that god created the universe - something you claimed you didn't know...
True....... No God's mind would be focused upon here, anymore than your mind could focus upon a cell in your right kidney.

You make mention of the Sun, and I can see and feel that, and it is Logical to perceive that this, together with everything else is part of 'The Whole'
I perceive 'The Whole' as being God. But my perception is reasonable, logical.
No, prove that everything is god. So far all you are doing is asserting that it is objective.
Every particle......... every force........ and anything else.
And, Deism: .
It doesn't say that god is the universe, and it says that god created the universe - something you claimed you didn't know...
How logical is that?
God is all...... but far too vast to be aware of, interested in, or involved with us.
To think otherwise must be some kind of megalomania.
That wasn't my point!

Then you have to define your god. The physical universe is objective. The sun, moon, stars planets, trees, rocks, lakes, etc... So where is your god in this picture, what is it? Is your god merely the physical universe or something more?
Your point is that you want to 'prove' that your idea of God is logical. The very fact that you think God takes such interest in humans is .... illogical, given the vastness of all, and our brief appearance in time.

Just a quick question/observation here this morning:
Is it even possible to imagine or ontologize anything outside the bounds of the three fundamental laws of logic: the law of non-contradiction, the law of excluded middle, and the law of identity?
And when I say ontologize, a word that I made up, I haven't clearly defined that yet. Just use your imagination.
We can spell out something manually, such as A=B, but can we actually see it, imagine it, experience it...hold it in our minds and rotate it about and take cross sections of it at any arbitrary angle?
There does seem to be an absolute reality.
I'm not understanding why atheists can't agree here. It's like they are equivocating ontologies...another phrase I made up in my attempts to describe what is going on here.
"An ontology encompasses a representation, formal naming and definition of the categories, properties and relations between the concepts, data and entities that substantiate one, many, or all domains of discourse. More simply, an ontology is a way of showing the properties of a subject area and how they are related, by defining a set of concepts and categories that represent the subject."
