You don't get it, do you? Religions make certain claims, thus we can say they are wrong by showing their claims are incorrect/not based on facts/not based on reasoning. No matter what, it's up to you to prove your claim. Meanwhile, we're sitting and eating popcorn waiting for some real evidence.


No no no, you've shifted your position. You said it was WRONG. Not unproven. WRONG. (Note, it would be incorrect to say he's moving the goalposts. He's just shifting nervously to an easier position once he realized he had no proof)

I didn't shift my position. Did I not distinctly say they are wrong?

1. Incorrect usage of the word consecrating
2. We don't do anything with the dead body.


There are two places you can go, with many different levels inside them. Terrestrial Kingdom, where good people go who reject Christ, or people who accept Christ but don't do anything about it. The Telestial kingdom is where murderers, Hitler, so on so forth end up.

You can only say someone is WRONG by proving they are WRONG. Unproven doesn't make a claim wrong. In fact, their are claims which cannot be proven, which are true (see Godel incompleteness theorem)

Dear gods, can you read? At all? You show them to be wrong by showing their claims to be wrong. Where did I say "unproven"? I never said that, you decided yourself to insert that word into my argument when I never said such a thing.

Lol at Godel's incompleteness theorems. What does Wikipedia have to say about this?

Wikipedia wrote:Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two theorems of mathematical logic that establish inherent limitations of all but the most trivial axiomatic systems capable of doing arithmetic. The theorems, proven by Kurt Gödel in 1931, are important both in mathematical logic and in the philosophy of mathematics.


You were saying?

It was a joke. The Company's name was "Telestial" like "Telestial kingdom".
Admittedly, it was a very BAD joke but this is the internet, standards are lower.

Then what happened to the "all religions are partially right"? because that is a novelty item right there. you are performing a ritual aimed at saving my immortal soul...therefore you are by extension praying for it...therefore you are violating my free will.
I am a Wiccan. Do not assume I am an Atheist in Religion threads simply because I support complete Secularization of Government Entities.

Social Libertarian (could care less about Economics, there are people who are more educated at it, so it is a waste of time to try and debate me on it.). As stated above I am a Wiccan, and I find solidarity with the Egyptian Deities. I support government secularization as well as complete freedom of religion, as I believe that to truly be secular, the state must respect all beliefs, and favor none.

The first incompleteness theorem states that no consistent system of axioms whose theorems can be listed by an "effective procedure" (e.g., a computer program, but it could be any sort of algorithm) is capable of proving all truths


Yup.

OK, so, go ahead. Prove there is no God.

I used only because he said Atheists prove religion wrong. That implies proof. I don't use that argument on the people who say "I don't know". To say there is no God, requires proof.

Your "we can prove they're wrong by showing their claims are incorrect/not based in fact/not based on reasoning" fails unless you show their claim is incorrect. Basic logic test.

"There are pink elephants, therefore the sky is blue" I concluded something which was true, that the sky is blue (blar blar we all know it's purple yadada yadaa you get the point), which was not based in fact or reasoning.

No...they concluded it by using evidence in the natural world vs. what your scriptures say. Oh My Gods...never before have i seen an argument where a Wiccan and an Athiest are both trying to go against a Mormon...

So you DO need proof.

This is undoubtedly the worst analogy I've ever seen in my entire life. In one conclusion, you can test it. In the other, you cannot.

You "can prove" them wrong. You just have to have proof. Proof I'm still waiting for.

You can make a correct conclusion off incorrect reasoning or non sequiturs, as I've proven.

Please, explain why, since according to you, you don't need to prove anything in order to discover the truth, despite the fact that in order to prove anything, you need to use either evidence or reasoning. And reasoning is linked to logic, which is a method of philosophy, which deals with truth.

I chalk it up to a bit more George Carlin than is probably healthy. :p
