    The first thing the atheist at the start opened with is ''that he doesn't think you could even rule God out'' but in my opinion, we don't need to, because we haven't come across a reason to rule it in, to start with. Regarding the laws of logic: we would have to appeal to them in order to debunk/violate them. On the definitions for atheism: Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities. Less broadly, atheism is a rejection of the belief that any deities exist. In an even narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities

Or all these chat rooms of course with a handful of clowns whose mission seems to be to make Christianity as unappealing as possible. Their argumentation is terrible and their personalities worse.

    No - you don't get it. You just declare that some things are "true," in an "objective" sense, but you don't explain how you would identify any specific example. How do you identify a "true" statement? Wouldn't any such actual identification implicate your own "subjective" determination? If so, then its unclear what you mean by "objectively true." The presup argument has legs not because it demonstrates god, but because it reveals something inconvenient about traditional epistemology, i.e. that "objectivity" is an incoherent idea, for both theists AND atheists. See Pragmatism.

    I've never understood the presup argument for the simple reason that the argument for god stops at 'without a god, none of this would exist'. That is what a presup argument entails. What they do is put lipstick and tie bows around it to make it sound sophisticated but the problem is, as a human they are wholly unqualified to talk with any certainty about any meta world. Any attempt to do so is stepping into a gods realm exposing their claim to have the knowledge of gods. That is sacrilege by almost any standard (except theirs of course lol). They have two choices. Let their god come and explain to everybody what is going on in the meta world, or else prove to the rest of the humans they have access to the meta world. Outside of that, they are as limited and flawed as the atheist the want to silence and are wholly unqualified to make any claims. The less charitable perspective on them is they are full of crap, they know they are full of crap and do everything in their power to shut down any conversation that exposes their beliefs.

    52:00 here's the problem. No one can own land. No one can own anything that we don't make. Water sources, air, land... THEY ARE NOT PRODUCTS SO WE CANNOT OWN THEM. This is a sticking point for a lot of people who believe themselves to be anarchist. But if you say land can be owned, the question becomes... How did the first person to own a piece of land come to own it? They couldn't have bought it from someone because no one owned it yet. How did they declare it theirs? To what natural principle is the idea of their ownership attached? None. It is imaginary. You can say we have to have land ownership to keep bad people off our land. That is completely incorrect. Occupation and defense is what keeps the unsavory off your land. You don't call the cops on your buddy who shows up at your front door. Because it's your choice who messes with your homestead. We don't need a lot to tell us how far to stand from someone when we talk to them. Yet we figure it out and make it work to everyone's satisfaction, more or less. That is the way it works with homesteads. You respect other people's homesteads so that they will respect yours. It is symbiotic, it is mutual. And "no we can't!" Is not a philosophical argument. We can, and in many ways, we already do. Every day. Every time you do the right thing without someone standing over you threatening to hurt you if you don't, you are succeeding at living according to morality. By choice. We do it all the time. Now it's time to extend that into the areas that government has claimed ownership. And say no, we will do this. We are adults. We don't need rulers and we don't need people standing over us, much less people who don't even work in the industries they're attempting to regulate, telling us what to do. You can't own land. You can only live on it. The house you build belongs to you. You own it. But you don't own the land, because you didn't create that land. It is not a product.

    Someone tell the pro government guy that it is governments defending the company's dumping toxins in the water and destroying the wetlands etc. In an organic society with no government, the moment someone gets caught jumping anything anywhere, they get jumped by everybody around. As it stands now, the police straight up defend the ruling bloodlines who have taken control of all of these companies doing the dumping/polluting and everything else. ALL you will end up with if you allow people to make rules is a group of people who make rules for thee and none for me. Every time the ruling bloodlines (which boasts a huge overlap with the individuals in government, as in they are one and the same) make a rule, it is so that you have to follow it and it will hold you back. Meanwhile they will break it and get ahead. No, no one should be dumping. But that's the thing. Get the ruling bloodlines and their precious little cops and goons out of the way, and the people will do the dog piling upon anyone who dares to dump in rivers. Someone dumping Teflon waste in your water source is murdering you and your family actively. Therefore, they have opened themselves up to be neutralized. Fairly. Justly. Imagine if the people could just walk up to the folks dumping that Teflon waste and END THE PROBLEM with no one in uniforms coming to stop them. Seriously. Imagine that world. You will only have a problem with it if you yourself have done some very bad things that you are afraid of receiving Justice for.

    The neuroscience of sex differences is the study of characteristics that separate the male and female brains. The human brain isa sex-typed organ with distinct anatomical differences in neural structures and accompanying physiological differences in function. However, conclusive findings about sex-linked brain differences have failed to materialize. The general consensus appears to be that, once variables such as birth weight and head size have been taken into account, there are very few, if any, structural sex differences in the brain at birthThe best evidence from the most recent research suggests that both males and females share the same neural circuitry, but use it differently 4 Stan med

This distinction is evident in the fact that machine learning algorithms can predict a person's gender with 93% accuracy by analyzing the brain's information organization patterns. Unless we assume the computer is merely making guesses with a high degree of accuracy, it's clear that there are differences in how male and female brains process and organize information.

I'm not sure if he realizes this, but if he were correct and you have to write a Modus Ponens for every premise otherwise it isn't true, you could never stop writing Modus Ponens because you would have to keep regressing the P to another Modus Ponens. And, I think he was very focused on capital-T Truth, however he defines that. That is where you get statements like, "I agree that statement is true, but it isn't proving anything/saying anything useful". The "X is either white or not white" part was really hard to get through. Because that can be a true statement about _anything_ that exists, and he was stuck on "I can't determine if it is white because my perception might be flawed". Love is either white or not white. Since love doesn't have a color property, it is not white.

    An interesting continuation of Western Christianity seeing slavery go away, would be that the LDS (Mormon) Church was founded in 1830 and introduced Joseph Smith as an American Prophet. In the 1830's was also when the Underground Railroad really started to take off. Although the movement to abolish slavery started before the LDS Church was founded it gain strength throughout the 1830's to the 1860's and was finally abolished in 1865.

    Another point I'll leave is my problem with mesuring God with morality. A man may have a cardboard cut out and measure the height of a man, and judge whether he's tall or short. 5ft or 7ft. But a if whale is being measured 20ft is a short whale, but 20ft is an enormous man. Different standards are needed to judge Different premises

    If God doesnt exist... Murder is not an evil, its just something you dont like. Always funny how the atrocities of the Amalekites is simply overlooked: "The Amalekites later joined with the Canaanites and attacked the Israelites at Hormah (Numbers 14:45). In Judges they banded with the Moabites (Judges 3:13) and the Midianites (Judges 6:3) to wage war on the Israelites. They were responsible for the repeated destruction of the Israelites’ land and food supply." So they weren't innocents in yhe equation. They weren't murdered. Killing in war is not murder. Also: atheist: Why doesn't God punish evil? God - punishes evil. Atheist: how can God do that mean thing?

      @nowthatsdebatablepodcast 7 місяців тому

      Liam, you’ve got a whole lot wrong here. A god isn’t necessary to find murder wrong, immoral, or illegal. And when it comes to how the Bible describes/commands some of the Old Testament acts specifically when it commands the Israelites to kill all women and children, those would be called war crimes and barbarian. In war, you don’t fight civilians, you don’t kill innocent women and children, and it’s wrong and murder if you do. By saying they weren’t innocent in the equation is grouping an entire people group together and then genociding them. It would be akin to dropping nukes on Iraq to kill isis. You might accomplish the goal, but you’ll kill a lot of innocent people in the process. I also don’t think you quite understand my position. When I ask how could a just benevolent god command the killing of innocent women and children, pregnant women, infants incapable of understanding etc. I’m only using your “holy book” to point out some character flaws and atrocities of the “perfect god” you believe in. If what Israel did to the amalakites is how the war played out, I’d say they committed genocide in the name of a fictional deity claiming they were told to do so by a invisible all-loving being. They were, in reality, genocidal war criminals using their “god” to justify their atrocities. If you’d like to come on the show and discuss this with us, we would be glad to have you. Perhaps you can show us the error of our ways.

      @@nowthatsdebatablepodcast all you're saying is that you don't like that it happened. Without God you can only get morality from three sources: Government Society/Culture The individual None of these are remotely reliable sources for morality. You can't judge another government as wrong without appealing to a higher source for morals. Same for culture/society. An individual doesn't get to determine what's right and wrong either - all you're saying is that you don't like it. So tell me again why star-stuff (cf.

      @@tribouletthehumanist do tell. I notice you're not saying what it is the comments. If you're appealing to evolution... Well eating of young and what we would consider GBV is replete in the animal kingdom from insects to higher primates - but suddenly it's magically wrong for humans? How does that work? Is it an appeal to empathy? Who or what tells you who or what you should be empathising with? Moral naturalism really devolves to assertions that things are right and wrong with no basis for those assertions. So from atheist philosopher Julian Baggini "moral choices ultimately have to be made by individuals, and we cannot get others to make our moral choices for us." Do you concur? Or not? 'Cause he is saying it's each individual that gets to choose what is right and wrong, moral and immoral. And the. He tries to lay out what those should be, and that means he's trying to appeal to something he says doesn't exist. In everything you'll find you're appealing to a higher moral authority, or it's nothing more than your opinion. Excuse my skepticism that you guys can suddenly say something coherent about why people should behave in a certain way when decades of reading what atheists have to say about this has never amounted to little more than nonsense when you actually think about what is being said.

    Toward the end of the video y'all start talking about circular reasoning and all these theology books and how you don't understand how Christian doctrine and thinking can just assume God to start with and then build on that. There is no assuming God. We would never have assumed the Triune Christian God if He had not revealed Himself to us. There is a compilation of oral tradition stories and eye witness accounts that were then written down over a period of 1,500 years and became what we call the Bible. So there is no assuming. There is evidence of this God. He also walked among humans as Jesus and taught us. So, yeah, no assuming.

      We were talking about a specific type of reformed philosophy called pressuppositionalism. It was invented by Cornelius Van Til and explained in his book "Defense of the Faith". In his particular philosophy, you pressupose the Christian god. We weren't talking about Christianity in general. Most Christians aren't pressuppositionalists, weren't talking about them, only this specific group of them.

    Triboulet claimed to willingly commit acts of unjustified immorality because he eats meat. So, is there a consequence for that? Is there guilt there? Does Triboulet actively try to overcome that unjustified immorality and change the way he lives his life? Or, since this framework is subjective and it's all about the wellbeing of a person, is it not a big deal? He's not hurting anyone so is this immorality okay? Can this way of thinking be applied to other people and the unjustified immoral acts they do? Just some thoughts. I don't think its wrong to eat meat. Just wondering how this moral framework works out in this situation. If there is no law giver or Judge like God whom Triboulet is accountable to then where is the consequence? Where will he be held responsible? And where would anyone be held responsible for all other kinds of acts of unjustified immorality?

    • @tribouletthehumanist
      @tribouletthehumanist 7 місяців тому

      This is why you should come on the show. This comment tells me that you have some huge misunderstandings about my position. Being held responsible has no bearing on morality. I can do something immoral even if there's nobody to hold me responsible. Just like your god can drown millions of babies without being punished, I can eat a burger without being punished. However, the lack of punishment does not make it moral. Also, eating meat does have consequences, though it doesn't effect us all equally. And as I've stated during this episode and several times throughout the series, morality is objective. Whether an act harms your well being is not a matter of opinion.
