A new argument that Christianity is polytheistic2017-07-01 04:14:16
Consider the following verses from the Bible that imply the existence of other Gods
A: Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:"
Notice that it...

It seems to me odd that God would answer prayers. If God is omniscient, every decision that he would make would be with all knowledge; A personal prayer would not bring up any new information that God...

Hey dajpk5! Over the years on DDO we have interacted a few times. I don't know if you recall but before my current drift to doubt of God's existence I was a Mormon. Anyways, good to have you here. I realize...
Compelling Argument Against God2017-06-28 05:23:39
Interesting, as I understand the argument it seems to equate non-contingent with non-existent. I’m not sure I agree. Contingency is defined as dependent for existence. That does not seem to me to...
Thoughts on the Kalam Cosmological Argument2017-06-26 02:36:05
Interesting point. I used to argue the kalam guilty of special pleading.
P1: Whatever begins to exist has a cause
I would ask if anything exists that did not begin to exist. If the only possible...
Thoughts on the Kalam Cosmological Argument2017-06-26 02:29:31
I am under the impression that even if accepted the argument does not narrow the live options to major theistic faiths or Deism. Rather, that seems to be a false dichotomy ss it is conceivable that if...
Thoughts on the Kalam Cosmological Argument2017-06-26 02:27:00
I have read a good amount on A and B time theories and confess that I seem unable to really understand the kritik. I understand the concept of "began" is sketchy as it is a concept that means...
Thoughts on the Kalam Cosmological Argument2017-06-26 02:19:26
The “or any” that you mention is significant. Part of my issue with the Kalam is that it does not argue for Judaism, Islam, or Christianity specifically. Nor would accepting the Kalam logically...
Thoughts on the Kalam Cosmological Argument2017-06-22 06:26:32
Of the things debated in society, perhaps nothing is more hotly contested than the existence of a God. Over the course of time there have been many arguments made from many different angles. For example,...

Semantics2015-11-04 10:59:51
I often find it amusing when people argue over the meaning of words. There seem to be at least two positions to take. (No its not meant to be an either or type of thing, I have just noticed two different...
If the death penalty is immoral.. ?2015-05-31 14:34:21
LOL I am sorry, I see exoneration is when you are cleared of charges... For some reason I was thinking of letting someone who is guilty go. So sorry for the confusion.
To clarify my point above haha......
If the death penalty is immoral.. ?2015-05-31 14:00:57
I wrote an article on the death penalty a while back... http://www.sensiblesoapbox.com/articles/2015/3/17/our-rights-part-4-life Though, to be fair I did not do much research into it.

Liberalism Defined.2015-05-29 08:33:32
If someone can do something that can cause another person besides himself harm, then that is when we need law. When I want to make a personal conscious decision based on my own beliefs and feelings, the...

John Locke has said “the end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no...
Control/Liberty2015-05-29 08:13:26
If liberty is being diminished does it matter what the source is? i.e. Government, social construct, Big Business, etc... What do you think?
