i mean that "exists" would become a meaningless distinction
they are both concepts, but the concept of a literal "god" doesn't have any practical value. this to me is more pragmatic. ok, but progressing...
they leave them off and remove the sim-card. the sim-card is a major weakness. i don't like phones either. i mainly sms once every couple of...
if everything "exists" then what meaning does "exists" have?
that's kind of the problem. thinkers have their definitionS of "god". christianity has theirs. hindu's have theirs. some people think it's "mother...
that's quite a bold statement. what is your definition of self explanatory?

yes, everything can be interpreted metaphorically. but what kind of meaning is there left at this point? if one wants an interpretation of a...
i don't see the benefit. if "god" has no will at all, then one could say his will is always granted too. so this is not saying much.
i was in a discussion recently, with someone that considers himself christian and goes to church. i asked him if he takes everything in the bible...
apart from not being able to call oneself a atheist i think i completely agree with what you said. but what you seem to by missing is that the...
