What I don't see is an automaton poster but I believe at the other end is someone, and I have no idea why IT is congratulating myself or rather itself on its own assertion of superiority and arrogance. Meaning you.
I'm congratulating you because in one post you managed to highlight your worldview perfectly - human beings are nothing but "things" to you and the Master whose ideology you serve and to whom you bow down to.
I said it's a simpleton example to make you thing, not the same in the slightest. The creation of the computer doesn't even come close to the creation and construct of the human.
And yet you think that the computer, which is something mindless and does not possess consciousness is an appropriate example to use. A much better example would have been a child - a distinct and separate entity created from two people, which cannot care for itself and completely reliant upon then for many years. And yet, you didn't use that example. Not that it would make your argument any stronger if you had - after all, one only needs to point out that parents routinely treat their children much better than your god treats his.
So you outright deny that God exists or created us and therefore you are done.
You assert there's a god, it's incumbent upon you to prove it using logic and solid arguments, and without resorting to faith or to elements that must be believed on faith.
It's in fact you who only sees existence of things being objects and materials alone. So really you are just an object waiting to disintegrate, you have no conciousness or soul or purpose. You just have this assumption that you have a conciousness, because uhm oh your own self indulgence in your own existence? You are just a thing waiting to hit the ground, a useless construct of earth's elements.
I believe we each have consciousness. What I don't believe is that this consciousness is distinct and separate from our bodies. I don't believe in a "spirit" which you do, neither do I believe in an afterlife.
You're welcome to believe in those things if you want, but I submit to you that in doing so you forego rationality, but you devalue and cheapen the concept your own life and the life of everyone else.
Tell me one thing Ahmed... if you really believe there's an afterlife waiting for you, why are you still around? Why not just kill yourself now? Don't hide behind cowardly excuses. If you believe in an afterlife then you should be eager to shed this corporeal body and go into that higher plane of existence as soon as possible. And yet
Arrogance and this type of rational gets you ego points not results through any sort of rational deductive reasoning.
You are welcome to point out any irrational or unsubstantiated statement I have made.
You are an atheist so you deny God and ridicule any rational discussion on the topic.
I am an atheist, yes. I deny the concept of deities generally, yes. As for rational discussion on this topic, when you choose to deal with the supernatural, you are automatically outside the realm of logic and rationality.
You are the one that posed a rhetorical even question as an atheist why would an all knowing being set rules or ask for conduct, I answered you but you don't like the answer that you have an authority above you nor the example of being compared to a computer which is a simpleton construct for US, likewise we are simpleton to an all knowing being.
Right. I asked that question and I will ask it again. Your answer boiled down to "who are you to question God?" Well, you know what. I am me and I am asking the damn question. And if God (or his supporters, in his stead) can't answer it rationally and without resorting to "because God said so! BELIEVE OR ELSE!" and shaking their fists at me that speaks volumes.
How significant do you think you are? An ant? Really that's true, you're just but an ant, and yet you argue like you are your own god with arrogance. You have an anger at the idea that an All knowing Creator/God would ever impose anything on you. IMAGINE THAT, why should you ever be greatful for existing or being created?
How significant I am isn't important; if I spoke your language, I'd say that I am as significant as any other of Allah's children. But I don't speak bullshit.
You imply that I have "an anger at the idea that an All knowing Creator/God would ever impose anything on you." I don't. I don't get angry at imaginary beings or religious stories dreamed up long centuries ago. I just don't understand how any rational, self-respecting person could believe those stories.
But even if your religious nonsense was true and I was, indeed, created, I would find the idea of someone creating me in order to function as his servant offensive. Why would I be grateful to or show any fealty towards a creature that created me only to force me to do his bidding at the threat of eternal punishment? Such a creature wouldn't be worthy of worship or fealty. It would be worthy of contempt.
You think God is arrogant for setting rules upon you? Nope, it's you who's arrogant
No, I don't think that God is arrogant anymore than I think a pink unicorn-platypus hybrid or a Pokemon is arrogant. I do not think about God at all because I concern myself with the rational, the real, the here and the now; not the irrational, the fictional, the supernatural and the after.
I do, however, think that believers have chosen to forego logic and rationality and focus on faith and mysticism. But I don't think that's arrogant at all; just a natural conclusion based on their behavior.
If your answer to this post is going to consist of "who are you to tell god what he can do" then don't bother; that answer would only prove that you either didn't read or didn't understand anything I said on here.
