    Is the God of the Bible the Same as the God of the Q'uran?

    There are good and bad people in every religion.

    Free Will and Omnimax GOD and the test

    However a counter argument for these questions would be, How would a mere mortal know GOD's intention, acts and plans and how would a mortal understand what universal good and bad would be? We mortals live in a subjective reality.

    Is Life Meaningless?

    Define fulfilling. Define meaningful. What atheism entails may or may not have a bearing on actual truth. However there should be an absolute truth disregard what each group's subjective view is.

    Is the God of the Bible the Same as the God of the Q'uran?

    So how do you know which GOD is the true one?

    Aethist corner of Elakiri

    I did not say that an atheist has to prove his position. But somehow it seems to me that an atheist claims he knows GOD does not exist. I was merely pointing out that is an impossible claim. However the definition of atheism itself is broad and subjective. I guess I was only talking about a...

    Free Will and Omnimax GOD and the test

    So you are saying that when GOD made me, he cannot for-see future and know that I'm gonna die a disbeliever?

    What you decide to participate or not is a choice. Since you talk about common sense and logic you may realize that a universal truth about any of above is unknown. That is just common sense. You are going by a subjective reality and assume what you think logic is logic and dismiss the chance...

    Free Will and Omnimax GOD and the test

    "Willing to do something" and "free will" are different things. In general willing to do something deals with accepting "OK I will do it". In your example willing to do Y, deals with having a likeness to do Y. We are forced to do X but we still like to do Y. Our likeness for Y has not changed...

    However I think the important question is if there is a change, how do you explain it? Any ideas(Other than soul)?

    This is exactly what I am asking.

    Free Will and Omnimax GOD and the test

    Omnipotent GOD invalidates free will for two reasons in this case. If GOD has the ability to interfere with what you want to do, it means you do not have free will because (1) GOD can interfere any moment (2) You do not know whether GOD has already interfered or is interfering. Free will is not...

    Free Will and Omnimax GOD and the test

    You are right. In this sense free will will not invalidate omnipotence. I have made a mistake. It invalidates omnimax nature as a whole when coupled with the theory of intelligent design. omnipotence it seems depends on what you define as a possible and impossible thing. GOD created sun and by...

    Free Will and Omnimax GOD and the test

    Was it not GOD who made a man as a disbeliever? Isn't it his will? If it is GODs will then at what point did he get the chance to choose?

    Our discussion need not necessarily have a scientific basis. Am I correct to assume that you believe 'soul' is a concept made in mind and no other religion except Buddhism and Hinduism has such a concept? Also the reason for not believing a soul exists is because it is not measurable?

    My views over the years have moved closer to agnosticism than atheism it seems. Atheism being the rejection of deity seems like an impossible position to take since it cannot be proven that a deity does not exist but only say that it is highly improbable. Furthermore position of atheism relies...

    You are right. That is why it is my opinion that what distinguishes Buddhism from other religions to an average person is something much more different than a personal experience(feeling of happiness peace etc) you have with it.

    However here you are making an assumption that so called "soul" if it exists cannot be physical?

    Aethist corner of Elakiri

    I have many Christian friends who say that they have discovered a great deal of happiness and peace while trying to have a personal relationship with GOD(Their way of meditation in this sense). Is there any difference in what they claim and what you claim in your opinion?

    What can be non-physical? Isn't everything energy?
