    Those that shout....NO GOD

    Are evangelists of another colour.
    But no less fanatic or incorrect.

    Christian Evangelicals want to show you that God exists and then want to tell you how to act, what to believe, and how to live your life in pretty much every aspect after that.

    Atheists want to show you that the belief in a human mythos is irrational, and want you to create your own value system, whatever it is.

    Agnostics make a big deal about the unknowability of it all, but that doesnt really matter or effect anything at all.

    Actually agnostics also want to show that the belief in a human mythos is
    irrational.
    In that, athiests and agnostics work hand in hand. Human descriptions and tales of god and heaven an such are just that, tales.
    And occam thinks we humans have outgrown the need for such in a world
    that desperately needs more reason and forethought.

    But the concept of 'a god' is not a mythos or a tale.
    It is a logical possibillity supported by the laws of reality itself.
    [And here occam repeats that he speaks not of a god that created reality
    as the religious descriptions claim. He has already called that a tale,no?]

    But that an evolved entity that can manipulate the structure of reality
    we call the observed universe,is , possible.

    Thus occams method cannot allow him to say.. 'there is no god'
    But in all other respects he acts as an athiest would.

    all the best

    Lol. Peace be with u brother. Our entire 'conversation' was really much like the arguement religion had about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
    We both walk the same path with just a 'slight' variation n the definitions we use to walk it. Occam thinks our goals and hopes are the same.
