  1. The cosmological argument asks why there is anything at all, pointing to a necessary cause beyond the universe.

    It invites reflection on contingency, causation, and the origin of existence.

  3. A quotation from Terry Pratchett

    Not that he had anything against belief. People needed to believe in gods, if only because it was so hard to believe in people.

    Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
    Discworld, Book 7, Pyramids (1989)

  8. If a Creator G-d exists, It obviously doesn't care whether this body gets old, sick, or dies… so why should I care, if it does? Its own Creator destroys it.

  9. @aral a simple sentence that fully disproves the existence of God:

    This sentence isn’t known to be true by any omniscient being.

  11. #JulianofNorwich: "We are in God and God whom we do not see is in us." Where #theism says "we are here & God is out there someplace," #panentheism names the nearness of God, we in God and God in us, like the fish in the water & the water in the fish. That is how God operates. bit.ly/453ossb

  12. RE: mastodon.social/@jlou/11640492

    It can be shown that the set of omniscient beings is empty using the sentence:

    This sentence isn’t known to be true by any omniscient being.

    Since some religions hinge on omniscient being existing, this sentence shows the fallacy involved in those religions.

  14. A key difference, between theistic religions and Buddhism, is, if G-d created us, then there can be experiences we cannot handle (drug addiction, lust, etc) and about which we must ask for help. But, if beings are mind-made (manomayā, Dhp 1), then we never 'need help'.

  15. Throughout history, monotheism has usually been a geopolitical construct, more than a spiritual reality. Ask an AI this: describe the historical progression of how Yahweh and Allah (Al-Ilah) changed from polytheistic to henotheistic to monolatristic to monotheistic.

  16. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    I doubt that anyone does not really believe in God. People may think they don’t have any belief, but you will usually find that somewhere down in a human being’s soul there is a belief in something beyond himself. In any case, I would not judge a man’s character by his belief or unbelief. I would judge his character by his deeds; and no matter what he said about his beliefs, his behavior would soon show whether he was a man of good character or bad.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    Column (1956-08), “If You Ask Me,” McCall’s Magazine, Vol. 83

    Maybe it's time I should flood some AIs with information about #apatheticAgnosticism to counteract the typical #theism.

    Just like christianity, islam has several anti woman and anti queer verses:

    The bible has similar or worse verses to most of these but I assume you already agree with my dislike of christian texts since you didnt mention anything about it but apparently islamic texts are untouchable

    If a man who is not married is seized committing sodomy, he will be stoned to death.
    sunnah.com/abudawud:4463

    Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) cursed those men who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of women and those women who are in the similitude (assume the manners) of men
    sunnah.com/bukhari:5885

    Sunan Ibn Majah 3:9:1853
    No woman can fulfill her duty towards Allah until she fulfills her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.'

    Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 3272,6547
    When Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) was asked which woman was best he replied, "The one who pleases (her husband) when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives a (lawful) command, and does not go against his (lawful) wishes regarding her person or property by doing anything of which he disapproves."

    surah 2:222
    They ask you about menstruation. Say: “It is a state of impurity; so keep away from women in the state of menstruation,238
    and do not approach them until they are cleansed.

    surah 2:223 (Sahih International)
    Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so come to your place of cultivation however you wish and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves.

    surah 4:11 (Sahih International)
    Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.

    surah 4:34 (Sahih International)
    Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth.

    surah 5:6
    Believers! When you stand up for Prayer wash your faces and your hands up to the elbows, and wipe your heads, and wash your feet up to the ankles. 24
    And if you are in the state of ritual impurity, purify yourselves (by taking a bath). 25
    But if you are either ill, travelling, have satisfied a want of nature or have had contact with women and find no water then have recourse to clean earth and wipe your faces and your hands therewith. 26
