Uyi's Derived 1st Rule Of Skepticism

A skeptic never dismisses his skepticism. It is always there for all to see (Hence clarity)

Hence,

All atheists will never admit the fact that they are religions

Emmanuel Kant named this = The Critique Of Pure Reason

The gamplan of God to Atheist can be explained in terms of a game. I call it crawling through the tunnel.

You (the theist) can ignore the tunnel and still be in the light
You (the theist) can enter the tunnel be guided by the light and come out throughout the tunnel into the light
You (the atheist) can enter the tunnel and God will close the tunnel to allow you crawl around inside the tunnel

After some time he lights up the tunnel and greets you HELLO

God is the clear Color that Mr Mudley was talking about >>> it takes a well-colored mind to realise this

I can agree Atheism Is A Color >>> Yes it is

Newton proved it by passing light thru a prism. The prism twisted light into various colors. That I know

Hence (by Newton'd 3rd law)

Atheists lack intelligence

Atheists contradict themselves when they say God is imaginary. Bishop George Berkeley actively proved how the existence of the universe is hinged on the fact that:

GOD IS AN IDEA (id est He is imaginary)

When atheists say hell is imaginary. I nod my head in agreement

God is as a mad man laughing to himself. That is, until you realize why he was laughing. By then you would miss out on the laughter

Life is a joke God is sharing. the people who share in the laughter are in on (understand) the joke. The ones who don't laugh do not yet understand the joke

Corollary
To the English man Chinese sounds like a buck of rubbish. Until he understands the concept of 'pin yin'; as well as 'pidgin English', which is both in Nigeria and Jamaica

People say they prefer to have fun in hell than be bored in heaven. 

They have not yet apprehended the idea, that hell is the most 
(ideal) boring place you will ever find. I guarantee that the devil will greet you there by saying - HELLO

I expect God to answer my prayer and not the prayer of 30 million starving children. I consider such half-dead children lucky to soon be leaving a harsh world (that has not yet found a solution to the problem of proper food distribution). I end my apparently disgusting quote with a riddle: Death is an illusion

A dumb man can dismiss the fact that you are talking by saying that he cannot hear you. Atheists are dumb (but they are smart at doing it)" Hint: Dumb = Deaf

When atheists tell me that God is imaginary and therefore does not exist. I laugh it off as a product of their (wise) imaginations. Does it make sense to you to that Nature occurs spontaneously. Any idea that exists proves itself (its existence) ipso facto. That is the law on which thought has been based on since time immemorial

You know what's said about people who talk to themselves right? I think someone forgot how to use his/her multiple identities ,

Uyi Iredia:

When atheists tell me that God is imaginary and therefore does not exist. I laugh it off as a product of their (wise) imaginations. Does it make sense to you to that Nature occurs spontaneously. Any idea that exists proves itself (its existence) ipso facto. That is the law on which thought has been based on since time immemorial

But God did not appear on the scene spontaneously? displaying the arrogance of a Christian

• Prove to me you have an idea without any form of expression and you have disproved God's existence. Why do atheists follow David Hume (an ironic name) and assume that all we experience daily are nought but impressions - Where did u get that idea from ?

• I love George Berkeley the guy expressed his ideas clearly. I do not love David Hume the guy held on to the idea that he was a body. 

The funny thing is how I hear Hume parroting about on the voice of atheists

• Lao Sun Tzu is widely acknowledged because he decided that war is a thing of the mind

• Barrenness is a relative term. People bother themselves over birthing a baby the same way people bother about making money or winning bets/games/wars

• When Einstein says there is a Space-Time continuum. Hé means that time is a result of what I'll call Space-thought continuum. I say this because he had a 3rd underived équations. Hère goes:

Time = Space + Thought
Time - Thought = Space
Time - Space = Thought

• Evolutionists must have got their idea from the the Indian monkey god, Hanurabi. 

How they reconcile a monkey being my cousin I do not explain. How they laugh at Christians who do not agree that monkeys are our cousins is even more mysterious to the inquisitive mind ?

• A simpler way to understand Zeno's paradox (which is still ignored till date). Here goes:

A paused game is still running

How can you pause when you exist in a continuous space ? How do you continue what is already running ?

Hint: Think like a player

• An effect can NEVER negate it's cause. Technological advances will make God more apparent; ergo more people will be deluded with the idea that there is no God

• "The more attributes an idea has. The more real it becomes"

Here goes. The more you rationalize (understand) a position, the more it makes sense. The less the rationalization (explanation) the less it does makes sense. Reality is proportionate to the sense (explanations) you derive from it

• Why do the skeptics hide the fact that the father of Science Francis Bacon Snr was a deeply religious man? My argumentum ad vericundiam fallacy is necessary. T'is so when I consider that atheists always make appeals to science and logic - I am yet to see the logic they are excited about

• The ontological proof for God's existence was never disproved. You know why ? the basis on which it was disproved was an ideal world. A world of forms akin to the type Plato was excited about - and was willing to die for

Lemme imagine that there will perfect mosquitoes in heaven and I bet they will spread the joy parasite

NOTE - you have to keep my earlier posit in mind that ideas exist outside of space and time. I submit to all non-Christians that people believed in heaven b4 Christ came. People like Plato

Is uyi iredia not a skeptic of other religious faiths outside his own?

Is uyi iredia not skeptical of the islamic God?

Uyi must have being on some spiff!

God is an idea? I can agree that this entity is only as real as an idea. Abstract! An object which owes its existence to the human mind.

Francis Bacon being a prominent scientist, would be let only by the knowledge he contributes not his fears or superstition.

The issue of afterlife has not being addressed by Uyi, are there really physical places such as heaven and hell? Are they detectable? To what limit is faith to take us?

Contemporary skepticism (or scepticism) is loosely used to denote any questioning attitude, or some degree of doubt regarding claims that are elsewhere taken for granted.

Now all that is left is clearing those "Reasonable Doubts" Being Deeply Religious is not the same as being Deeply Spiritual

Your Arguments are pointedly slanted (my way of saying you have a chip on your shoulder) and in some quarters Deceptive-by-design by this i mean

1: You Blanket-Label all Non-Religious, God-doubting and God Dis-believing folks as Atheists. The Belief in God(s) is mostly a Religious trait evolved from either constant associations from Childhood or Profound Experiences later in life that challenge one's spirituality. not the observation of the wondrous nature of the universe or its species and the HOW/WHY questions it presents.

2: You pose Individualistic postures from several "named" Atheists as the Effective Position of all Atheists (and Non-Atheists and Non-Religious folks) even when you know that Christianity is profoundly diverse in its interpretation or understanding of the Bible, the only thing that holds true for Christians is that there is a God,all other condiments of this exotic soup is based on a key ingredient - FAITH which tells us to abandon our Doubts and Disbelief on the basis of NOTHING baring all allusions to Reality and Discounting available FACTS about the issue.

Just my thots

Jenwitemi:

Is uyi iredia not a skeptic of other religious faiths outside his own?*1

Is uyi iredia not skeptical of the islamic God?*2

*1 >>> nope ! I AM NOT. They apprehend God quite alright. >>> But not in the way that Christianity does

However, I am a Christian BY CHOICE >>> not by actions >>> we all see so-called religionless who fall below par with the tenets of their faith

*2 >>> I am not skeptical of the Islamic God (Allah) >>> or are you trying to blackmail me

call me a Christian with a pantheistic inclinations and you will be quite correct. I have deep respect for the person of Spinoza.

However, I am a Christian BY CHOICE

Wrong! You are a Christian by indoctrination.

NOTE - you have to keep my earlier posit in mind that ideas exist outside of space and time.

How could you saY that? the mind is built on the material brain, dependent on the brain!

Saying a lot but meaning nothing.

Interesting Position, Interesting Theory, Can a Man become Christian simply by introspection or does he have to learn the Religion or become exposed to it. a better question will be can Man find God without knowing him in the first place.

*1 >>> I see >>> That's something you want to doctor me to believe >>> you are the proverbial simpleton
I would advise you to read 7 wise quotes from The Bible (Prov 4:7, Prov 14:33, Prov 24:7, Eccl 7:19, Eccl 7:11, Eccl 9:18, Prov 17:24)

*2 >>> then ask neurosurgeons how they can tamper with people's brains (or cut them in half) without people getting 'split personalities' >>> I think I've even read of a person getting 3 quarters of his brain chopped off and he was still behaving normally >>> also ask doctors how people's thought processes remain constant during sleep or coma >>> when they are clearly unconscious (of their environs)

*3 >>> meaning something and saying nothing useful

This part of your posts interests me >>> I surmise that people like Spinoza, Socrates, Buddha and Confucius sat down thought and comprehended the concept of God by logic alone >>> very few people in our times are capable of disciplining themselves to do this >>> to many luxuries and material things to aspire for >>> most of humanity is stuck in a rat race
called Life to actually comprehend the infinite concept of who God is

some of the reasons I have seen and heard for people being Atheists are quite ridiculous >>> seems to me ike they fell for it the way a young teen will fall for soft-porn (shallow reasoning disguised as 'lots of thinking', 'acceptance of free-thinking' e.t.c)

• When an atheist tells me that logical fallacies, circular reasoning and appeals to emotion are what christians use; I feel perfectly alright. I know Jeebus is at work because Jeebus starts, Jeebus moves and I am enjoying the ride
