Martin Buber wrote, in his book "Tales of Hasidism, Vol 2" that:

"There is a famous story told in Chassidic literature that addresses
this very question. The Master [teacher] teaches the student that God
created everything in the world to be appreciated, since everything is
here to teach us a lesson.

One cleaver student asks: 'What lesson can we learn from atheists? Why
did God create them?'

The Master responds: 'God created atheists to teach us the most
important lesson of them all -- the lesson of true compassion. You see,
when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick,
helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so
because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God
commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God
at all, so his acts are based on an inner sense of morality. And look
at the kindness he can bestow upon others simply because he feels it to
be right.'

'This means,' the Master continued, 'that when someone reaches out to
you for help, you should never say 'I pray that God will help you.'
Instead for the moment, you should become an atheist, imagine that
there is no God who can help, and say: 'I will help you'."

A terrific post.

If all theists held such a wonderfully tolerant viewpoint, the world would, indeed, be a better place.

Unfortunately, far too often, they don't.

Eggsactly.

From Wikipedia:
Buber's collection includes a focus on the theme of non-judgment.
Rebbes in the work often chastise followers for pious behavior and
reward those who keep the spirit and tradition of Judaism alive.

Where does this "inner sense of morality" come from if not from God?
Empathy. We all have it. It's very much a survival trait, since humans
alone aren't that impressive an animal, but humans bonded in groups are
formidable. And empathy is essential for that bonding.

Which explains the fact that we are much more inclined to love, support, assist,
mourn, and generally get involved with people in direct proportion to how close
they are to us. We're very moral towards someone in our immediate group, less
so with strangers. And we feel far too free to let starve those in distant countries.

If morality came from God, then we'd act just as morally towards someone
across town, across the state, across the globe as we would towards our
own sons and daughters.

But we don't. That's because empathy is stronger the closer someone is to
us. And thus only in the most empathic of us do we find morality so developed that
they will extend support to total strangers, and even to enemies.


Of course, if you still claim morality comes from God, you are invited to put
your proof of that here:

That's an obvious false interpretation. Empathy isn't a mere survival
instinct. It's a lot greater than that. It makes a person giving up his
own survival instead.

That's only due to human limitation to acquire empathy. Empathy
apparently isn't something that everyone can automatically have just by
wishing. It can be destroyed, and it can be grown and built up also.

We know we should, but we also know we can't because we are mere humans.
That should be the evidence that morality is based on God's perfect good
will instead of our imperfect human will.

Such difference should be the evidence that our personal morality is
based on our willingness to follow God's morality. It has nothing to do
with the selfish survival instinct. It has everything to do with
following God's selfless love instead.

Sure.

Morality is based on being good. To be moral, one must be good. Since
according to Jesus only God is good, the real morality can only be God's
morality.

That God deliberately created. He created Evil because He IS evil. Explain how a "perfect" God of "perfect" goodness and righteousness even "dream-up" the concept of Evil, let alone deliberately create it to unleash upon hapless angels, man, and every form of helpless wildlife.

If you say it was "necessary" because we had to know Evil for "wisdom's" sake, you've still not explained where the "idea" of creating very Evil itself originated. It couldn't stem from a perfect God filled only with perfect Goodness and Righteousness, now could it?

So what lie are you going to make up NOW to explain this one.

Not true. How can you possibly claim that if Evil never existed there would still be immorality. Evil would have never been in existence. Immorality is an evil. So immorality could not exist as Evil because Evil by it's very non-existence, would be non-existent.

God only defines what immorality is.

He's defined it as Evil, nincompoop! Therefore immorality is Evil.

Immorality is never

caused by the definition of immorality.
We've gone over this before. Evil doesn't exist as just a word. Your God created it to be acted upon. That's why he created both angel and man with the will to do evil; the impulse to think or do evil. Evil as word would simply remain a word. And man could never do evil if evil were just a word, you ninny.

A God who would deliberately create very Evil itself is Evil beyond measure. So go ahead, tell us once more why you think an Evil God creating very Evil itself was a "Good" thing. I want to see you explain that one, one more time.

And, oh, don't forget to tell us where even the *thought* of creating very Evil itself stemmed from in a PERFECT God of PERFECT Goodness and Righteousness.

This ought to be good. I can't wait to see what kind of lie you come up with for this one.

of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in
need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because

commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not

Uh, you're the crazy-ass dude who feels God creating very
Evil itself was a "Good" thing! That it gave man "wisdom."
That it has made man "wise." Remember?
God creates evil by drawing a clear line between the good and the evil.
That God deliberately created. He created Evil because He IS evil.
That is not a response to what I said.

I've addressed that the creation of Evil was NOT a "good" thing countless times now. I've pointed out to you that Even God deems Evil Evil and not a "Good" thing. Why in the Hell do you think He's do punish Evil-doers with eternal punishment if He thought Evil a "Good" thing.

So now explain how is it that YOU think the creation of Evil a good thing, and yet your God deems Evil to be Evil and plans to wipe all of it right out of existence someday if He thought it to be a "good" thing.

If you were stabbed 40 times by a berserk
Post by Greywolf
mad-man because he didn't like the color of your hair, would you
thank your God for opening your eyes to evil while you're lying in
agony in some gutter?
Yes, absolutely. I will have to thank God for giving me the wisdom to
know what I have suffered is called evil. Otherwise, I would be
suffering like a stupid farm animal having no idea what is causing me to
suffer and why it is making me suffer.

Or would you have rather Evil not ever have
Post by Greywolf
been created?
No, absolutely not, because I would still suffer the exact same thing
except I wouldn't be able to understand what it is and why.
Post by Greywolf
If your loved ones were being sent to a concentration camp to either
be gassed, hung, or shot, would you thank your Lord for creating
Evil, or curse Him for it?
I would thank God for opening my eyes to evil so that I could die in a
concentration camp as a human rather than in a slaughterhouse as an animal.

You
Post by aaa
are ignoring my point by pretending to be stupid.
I've addressed that the creation of Evil was NOT a "good" thing
countless times now.
No, you haven't addressed anything. You only claimed it without any
logic or reason. You are confusing creating evil with committing evil.
Your logic is flawed from the beginning.

I've pointed out to you that Even God deems Evil
Post by Greywolf
Evil and not a "Good" thing. Why in the Hell do you think He's do
punish Evil-doers with eternal punishment if He thought Evil a "Good"
thing.
So now explain how is it that YOU think the creation of Evil a good
thing, and yet your God deems Evil to be Evil and plans to wipe all
of it right out of existence someday if He thought it to be a "good"
thing.
I have explained this too many times. Creating evil has nothing to do
with committing evil. Creating evil is to establish what evil is. It's
never evil to teach people what evil is.

Post by Greywolf
Without answering my
Post by aaa
point, you simply repeated your previous point by claiming "He
created Evil because He IS evil," as if nothing happened. By
doing this, you have only ignored my point. You are being
dishonest here.
What am I being "dishonest" about? You said God created Evil.
You've said that God draws a line between Evil and Good. So? What
is that supposed to mean? That He's Good? Not if, as you admit,
He deliberately created very Evil itself. What are you trying to
say?
I said exactly what I said. You may have to reread what I wrote if
you pretend to be this stupid.
Post by Greywolf
What does "drawing a line between Good and Evil" accomplish.
What, it defines the Evil Evil God deliberately created?
It accomplishes the creation of good and evil, but I also said
more after that. Apparently, you decided to be stupid so that you
could ignore everything to repeat your false claim again as if I
have said nothing.
You've stated that the creation of Evil was good because made man
"wise." I've addressed that here and in other threads, so it is *you*
that's being disingenuous here.
But let's move on. Address what I've posted below. And the ones
above. But I'm most eager to hear you explain how the very idea of
evil itself could possibly emanate from an Evil-Free God who's
PERFECT in Goodness and Righteousness. From *where* could the notion
of Evil originate in God's Evil-Free being?
I have said it many times. God creates evil by being good. Why is that
so hard to understand?

I *was* being honest.
No, you are not. You are ignoring my point by repeating
your point that has just been proven false by my simple
point.
You've not proved it false. That's just another one of your
lies. Your God deliberately created very Evil itself. Even
HE deems Evil to be Evil! And certainly not "Good." But
you've made it a point to argue that Evil was created to make
man "wise." Therefore it's a "good" thing.
Hung yourself with that one, didn't you?
Why should I? It's a perfectly valid point.
You've just maintained that creating Evil was a "Good" thing!
You're so fucking nuts, it's off the charts. Even God deems Evil
Evil. And here you, a sick fuck, is claiming it to be a Good
thing.
I made my point. To bad you can only ignore it.
All you've done is talk crazy-talk. You're so nuts I'm shocked that

Post by Greywolf
If someone were to break into your mental ward and hack a fellow
patient to death, would you consider that a "good" thing or an
act of pure evil? And therefore a "bad" thing.
That has nothing to do with God creating evil.
It sure does, turds-for-a-brain! Because the non-existence of Evil
would mean the hacker 1) wouldn't be insane (insanity is a by-product
of Evil), and 2) that fellow patient would never have been attacked
due to the absence of Evil.
False. Without creating evil, all the evil things would be considered as
normal. They would all be considered as mere natural disasters. Nobody
would need to complain about them. People would be no different from
animals operating entirely on their natural instinct. The human society
would not be called a civilization. It would be called an animal kingdom.
Post by Greywolf
See, you've been proven wrong, yet again.
In fact, it only thanks
Post by aaa
to God we are able to know it is an act of evil.
But the attack would never have happened if Evil were non-existent,
you yo-yo. Would you be glad to be "enlightened" if YOU were the one
being hacked to death? If not, then you wouldn't find Evil so "good"
after all, would you?
False logic. People don't commit evil by knowing what evil is. On the
contrary, people often stop doing evil when they can realize what they
are doing is evil. Did you start stealing after you have learned what
stealing was? Do you blame your kindergarten teacher for teaching you
the concept of stealing? If no one had taught you what stealing was,
would there be no more stealing in the world? Can you make the world a
better place by being stupid? So why do you have to blame God for giving
you the wisdom to know the difference between good and evil? Where is
your logic in that?

Type your "counterpoint. And then address the questions

I have made my point. I don't have to deal with another of
your point until you have dealt with mine. If you can't, I will
win the debate.
You win nothing. You can't even remember what your own point is!
If you did you'd type it. Hah! You can't even remember that your

I have no need to repeat myself. It's your job to prove me wrong.
You can't, therefore I win.
Sorry. You can't even remember what your own point was. So you win
nothing except a medal for being the most insane, brain-diseased
idiot plaguing this forum.
Until you post what your point was precisely, I win. But especially
because you're refusing to how the very idea of creating evil itself
could possibly emanate from an Evil-Free God. Where could the very
notion of Evil originate from a God who was Evil-Free?

But now, lets see you explain where even the
*thought* of creating Evil came from? How did that idea,
that notion enter the mind of a God who's supposed to be
perfect in Goodness and Righteousness, a God devoid of
Evil? Explain how Evil can originate from an Evil-Free
God?
How do you square that without resorting to more of your
lying?
Oh!! Stumped you with that one, didn't I? I hear nothing but
crickets chirping, you crazy douche-bag? What's the matter? Cat

Martin Buber wrote, in his book "Tales of Hasidism,
"There is a famous story told in Chassidic literature
that addresses this very question. The Master
[teacher] teaches the student that God created
everything in the world to be appreciated, since
everything is here to teach us a lesson.
One cleaver student asks: 'What lesson can we learn
from atheists? Why did God create them?'
The Master responds: 'God created atheists to teach
us the most important lesson of them all -- the
lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist
performs an act of charity, visits someone who is
sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the
world, he is not doing so because of some religious
teaching. He does not believe that God commanded him
to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in
God at all, so his acts are based on an inner sense
of morality. And look at the kindness he can bestow
upon others simply because he feels it to be right.'
Where does this "inner sense of morality" come from if not from God?
Uh, you're the crazy-ass dude who feels God creating very
Evil itself was a "Good" thing! That it gave man
"wisdom." That it has made man "wise." Remember?
God creates evil by drawing a clear line between the good and the evil.
That God deliberately created. He created Evil because He IS evil.
That is not a response to what I said.
This is what you wrote: "God creates evil by drawing a clear line
between the good and the evil."
I said the Evil that God created. A point you readily concede.
You are not responding to my point. You are repeating your false point.
I'm not repeating a false anything, ding-bat. I quoted you exactly.
Are you going to contend that you didn't write: "God creates evil by
drawing a clear line between the good and the evil."
Did you, or did you not?
Quoting my point doesn't mean answering my point. Without answering my
point, you simply repeated your previous point by claiming "He created
Evil because He IS evil," as if nothing happened. By doing this, you
have only ignored my point. You are being dishonest here.
Quoting your words can have the effect of relegating your insanity to where it belongs....

I deny that is a correct description of human morality. If morality is
nothing but an abstract concept in the human mind, it can't evolve into
anything but still remain the abstract empty concept as it has always
been. If morality is spiritual in existence, it can only come from God
therefore has no need of evolving. What is evolving is only our human

Therefore, reason, observation, and empathy are only part of our human

"There is a famous story told in Chassidic literature that
addresses this very question. The Master [teacher] teaches the
student that God created everything in the world to be
appreciated, since everything is here to teach us a lesson.
One cleaver student asks: 'What lesson can we learn from
atheists? Why did God create them?'
The Master responds: 'God created atheists to teach us the most
important lesson of them all -- the lesson of true compassion.
You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits
someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the
world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He
does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In
fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his acts are based on
an inner sense of morality. And look at the kindness he can
bestow upon others simply because he feels it to be right.'
Where does this "inner sense of morality" come from if not from God?
From reason, from observation of what the consequences of actions
are, from empathy. No God needed.
What's the foundation of such reason, observation, and empathy if not
God himself?
Morality and empathy is *evolved* human nature, as has
been explained to you already.
I deny that is a correct description of human morality. If morality is
nothing but an abstract concept in the human mind, it can't evolve into
Why do you think morality is only an abstract concept?
Because that is what modern philosophy teaches and believes. As I
understand it, to modern philosophy, morality is nothing but a
metaphysical abstraction that is void of actual meaning or substance. It
has nothing but an empty definition that can mean nothing and everything
at the same time.

anything but still remain the abstract empty concept as it has always
been. If morality is spiritual in existence, it can only come from God
therefore has no need of evolving. What is evolving is only our human
understanding of God's spiritual morality instead.
No, morality is not "spiritual". Since there is not god,
it's not from god either.
Since morality isn't physical, by being something real that has real
consequence to life and to this world, morality can only exist
spiritually. Apart from the physical existence, there is only the
spiritual existence. There is nothing else that can exist.

Therefore, according to logic, you have no choice but to admit that
morality has to be spiritual.

No. My focus wasn't modern philosophy. My focus is morality that
involves the modern philosophical understanding which I believe to be
incomplete and false. I'm pointing out the fault of modern philosophy to
demonstrate that morality has to be spiritual in order to be considered
as both real and non-physical at the same time. The abstraction in
modern philosophy can never be real. It's just mental brain fart.

Yep, no shame whatsoever.

See, It works like this sport: you make a claim, you back up that claim.
Not up to others to do the heavy lifting for you.

And right now you're flailing about because you've been called on
it, and you can't come through.

I suspect -- in fact I'd give twenty to one odds -- that you couldn't name
a single "modern philosopher" off the top of your head.

Nor could you give me a single school, theorem, paper, journal, or paper
that is evidence of this "modern philosophy" -- which is nothing other
than an invention of yours, a figment of your endlessly fertile imagination,
an imagination that is bizarrely decoupled from this reality.

So, what's your next excuse for your inability to back up your own
claims going to be?

One cleaver student asks: 'What lesson can we learn

performs an act of charity, visits someone who is

he is not doing so because of some religious

Where does this "inner sense of morality" come from if
not from God?
From reason, from observation of what the consequences of
actions are, from empathy. No God needed.
What's the foundation of such reason, observation, and
empathy if not God himself?
Morality and empathy is *evolved* human nature, as has been
explained to you already.
I deny that is a correct description of human morality. If
morality is nothing but an abstract concept in the human mind,
it can't evolve into

Why do you think morality is only an abstract concept?
Because that is what modern philosophy teaches and believes.
The guy who has repeatedly said that all of modern philosophy is
bogus and that it all went downhill starting with Aristotle now
claims he believes something because "that is what modern philosophy teaches".
No, I never agreed with it.
OK, folks, I invite you to debate: is this "aaa" a totally brazen liar, completely
incapable of feeling shame, or is he so delusional that he actually believes
his own lies?
I offer for your consideration
[Peter Pan]: Why do you think morality is only an abstract concept?
[aaa yesterday]: Because that is what modern philosophy teaches and believes.
[aaa, a day later]: No, I never agreed with it.
So, shameless liar or simply delusional?
It must be your misunderstanding instead. You should read what I said
originally in context. I was using the modern philosophical
understanding of morality to show why morality has to come from God.
Peter Pan's questioning was misleading.

As I understand it, to modern philosophy, morality is nothing but
a metaphysical abstraction that is void of actual meaning or
substance. It has nothing but an empty definition that can mean
nothing and everything at the same time.

I call bullshit. Show me a single "modern philosopher" who teaches
any such thing.
Why don't you prove me wrong instead? Show me one modern philosophical
understanding of morality that is not an abstract empty talk.
In other words, you made one of your usual loud baseless claims, and
when you're called to support it, not only can you not support it, you
try to put your burden of evidence off on someone else.
You really are incapable of feeling shame or embarrassment, aren't you?
What I have shown isn't some nice thing that modern philosophy would
like to admit. Therefore, it would be easier for you to prove me wrong
instead. You can't, because you know I'm right.
Yep, no shame whatsoever.
See, It works like this sport: you make a claim, you back up that claim.
Not up to others to do the heavy lifting for you.

I suspect -- in fact I'd give twenty to one odds -- that you couldn't name
a single "modern philosopher" off the top of your head.
Nor could you give me a single school, theorem, paper, journal, or paper
that is evidence of this "modern philosophy" -- which is nothing other
than an invention of yours, a figment of your endlessly fertile imagination,
an imagination that is bizarrely decoupled from this reality.
So, what's your next excuse for your inability to back up your own
claims going to be?
Your logic is flawed. I'm telling you that the modern philosophical
understanding of morality is abstract and meaningless, and you want me
to show one modern philosopher who makes the exact same claim to trash
modern philosophy like I did. What kind of stupid logic is that?
No. I want you to cite for us the writings of a philosopher which demonstrate
the abstract meaningless you claim they crank out.

I want you to thus provide me with evidence for your entirely-made-up-claim
that "modern philosophy" is "abstract and meaningless".

Turns out that -- as predicted -- you cannot. Quelle surprise.

In this case, as in so very many others, you pull bizarre claims out of
your ass, and then wax hysterical and rant and rave in all directions
when challenged to simply support your claims.

Another day, same old "aaa".

Your logic is flawed. I'm telling you that the modern
philosophical understanding of morality is abstract and
meaningless, and you want me to show one modern philosopher
who makes the exact same claim to trash modern philosophy like
I did. What kind of stupid logic is that?
No. I want you to cite for us the writings of a philosopher
which demonstrate the abstract meaningless you claim they crank
out.
It's not my job to demolish modern philosophy. They have to clean
up their own trash.
It's your job to support our own claims.
Obviously you cannot.
Nothing new there.
What I said is just simple logic. There is nothing that needs support.

Probably because you didn't even know that simple fact about it.
Actually, I dismiss everything in philosophy starting from Aristotle.
Aristotle is the root cause for philosophy to have gone astray.

Nope, no grandiose ideation there.

Modern philosophy is special because it's especially dead by outright denying

Martin Buber wrote, in his book
"There is a famous story told in
Chassidic literature that
addresses this very question. The
Master [teacher] teaches the
student that God created
everything in the world to be
appreciated, since everything is
here to teach us a lesson.
One cleaver student asks: 'What
lesson can we learn from
atheists? Why did God create
them?'
The Master responds: 'God
created atheists to teach us the
most important lesson of them all
-- the lesson of true compassion.
You see, when an atheist performs
an act of charity, visits someone
who is sick, helps someone in
need, and cares for the world, he
is not doing so because of some
religious teaching. He does not
believe that God commanded him
to perform this act. In fact, he
does not believe in God at all,
so his acts are based on an inner
sense of morality. And look at
the kindness he can bestow upon
others simply because he feels it
to be right.'
Where does this "inner sense of
morality" come from if not from
God?
From reason, from observation of
what the consequences of actions are,
from empathy. No God needed.
What's the foundation of such reason,
observation, and empathy if not God
himself?
Morality and empathy is *evolved* human
nature, as has been explained to you
already.
I deny that is a correct description of
human morality. If morality is nothing but
an abstract concept in the human mind, it
can't evolve into

Why do you think morality is only an
abstract concept?
Because that is what modern philosophy teaches
and believes.
The guy who has repeatedly said that all of
modern philosophy is bogus and that it all went
downhill starting with Aristotle now claims he
believes something because "that is what modern
philosophy teaches".
No, I never agreed with it.
OK, folks, I invite you to debate: is this "aaa" a
totally brazen liar, completely incapable of feeling
shame, or is he so delusional that he actually
believes his own lies?
I offer for your consideration
[Peter Pan]: Why do you think morality is only an
abstract concept?
[aaa yesterday]: Because that is what modern
philosophy teaches and believes.
[aaa, a day later]: No, I never agreed with it.
So, shameless liar or simply delusional?
It must be your misunderstanding instead. You should
read what I said originally in context. I was using the
modern philosophical understanding of morality to show
why morality has to come from God. Peter Pan's
questioning was misleading.

As I understand it, to modern philosophy,
morality is nothing but a metaphysical
abstraction that is void of actual meaning or

I call bullshit. Show me a single "modern

Why don't you prove me wrong instead? Show me one
modern philosophical understanding of morality that
is not an abstract empty talk.
In other words, you made one of your usual loud
baseless claims, and when you're called to support
it, not only can you not support it, you try to put
your burden of evidence off on someone else.
You really are incapable of feeling shame or
embarrassment, aren't you?
What I have shown isn't some nice thing that modern
philosophy would like to admit. Therefore, it would be
easier for you to prove me wrong instead. You can't,
because you know I'm right.
Yep, no shame whatsoever.
See, It works like this sport: you make a claim, you back
up that claim. Not up to others to do the heavy lifting

Modern philosophy is special because it's especially dead by

Can you?
Sure. All philosophical studies are about searching for the
philosophical truth. Since God's truth is the only absolute truth in the
universe, only God's truth can make all philosophical studies meaningful
and fruitful. By denying God, all philosophical studies have become
irrelevant to the truth. As the result, they have lost their actual
meaning and purpose. They are as good as dead.

Two decades of cranking out dozens of posts a day, sometimes
from multiple accounts? I really don't think so. The pleasures
of Poetry would surely have grown weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable
long since.

No, I think he's an obsessive lunatic. I'm sure that all the attention
we give him certainly motivates him, but just pretending?
No, I think it's far more pathological than that.

It's normal human nature to feel a revulsion to murder, stealing,
lying, rape and adultery. It's not simply cultural or
"spiritual" (whatever that means).
The boundaries can vary, but the basics are evolved human
instinct. If morality is abstract, then so is hunger.
I never agreed with modern philosophy. Because morality is both
real and non-physical, morality can only come from God by being
spiritual.
The opinion of a troll isn't very convincing to me.
It's just a simple logic.
Trolling is logic?

That's a, uhm, different definition of it.

What is evolving is only our human understanding of God's
spiritual morality instead.
No, morality is not "spiritual". Since there is not god,
it's not from god either.
Since morality isn't physical,
That's your opinion.
Why? Can you show otherwise?
Yes. But you have shown over and over that attempting rational
discussion with you is a fool's errand. You always find ways to
promote your personal misunderstanding.
Sorry excuse. You still need to support your claim with evidence.
The evidence is love, peace and joy. It's nothing I need
to prove, it's only for you to realize.

by being something real that has real consequence to life and
to this world, morality can only exist spiritually. Apart from
the physical existence, there is only the spiritual existence.
There is nothing else that can exist.
Therefore, according to logic, you have no choice but to admit
that morality has to be spiritual.
Anything that you can't understand is "spiritual" to you.
Why can't you acknowledge the simple logic?
Why can't you read books about science and philosophy like a normal
person would? If you can't do that, acknowledge your
misunderstanding and learn from people who do know.
May I remind you that you are failing to debate the actual issue?
No. Read those 2 paragraphs you wrote above. They are
mush. How do you debate mush? It's not to debate, it's
just for you to clean off the wall and put it back in the
kettle so you can throw it again.

"There is a famous story told in Chassidic literature that
addresses this very question. The Master [teacher] teaches the
student that God created everything in the world to be

The Master responds: 'God created atheists to teach us the most

You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits
someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the
world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He
does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In

That can't be true. What you have described is a rather shallow
understanding of morality. If it's put under a different situation, your
description could be shown to be immoral instead. Therefore, without
relying on God, whatever you call morality can always be made into
immorality simply by putting it under a different situation or
circumstance. You would have no real morality if you deny God.

teach us a lesson.
One cleaver student asks: 'What lesson can we learn from
atheists? Why did God create them?'
The Master responds: 'God created atheists to teach us
the most important lesson of them all -- the lesson of
true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act
of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in
need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because
of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God
commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not
believe in God at all, so his acts are based on an inner
sense of morality. And look at the kindness he can bestow
upon others simply because he feels it to be right.'
Where does this "inner sense of morality" come from if not from God?
From reason, from observation of what the consequences of
actions are, from empathy. No God needed.
What's the foundation of such reason, observation, and empathy
if not God himself?
Morality and empathy is *evolved* human nature, as has been
explained to you already.
I deny that is a correct description of human morality.
You deny reality frequently, and you have been wrong each time.
You only claim that, but you have never shown why it is wrong.

Normal sane people do not try and hurt each other unless they are
being attacked. Normal people understand that murder is wrong
because it means that their life is over and they will never have a
chance to love, or smile, or have any kind of experience anymore.
Sane people do not treat others in a way they wouldn't want to be
treated, that is human nature and has nothing to do with God.
That can't be true. What you have described is a rather shallow
understanding of morality. If it's put under a different situation, your
description could be shown to be immoral instead. Therefore, without
relying on God, whatever you call morality can always be made into
immorality simply by putting it under a different situation or
circumstance. You would have no real morality if you deny God.
Post by Cloud Hobbit
If morality is spiritual in existence, it can only come from God
Post by aaa
therefore has no need of evolving. What is evolving is only our
human understanding of God's spiritual morality instead.
Therefore, reason, observation, and empathy are only part of our
human understanding of God's morality.
God's morality is evil. God's morality involves the killing of
innocents and of people who have done nothing to sin or displease God
because they are children not old enough to form such concepts.
God's morality is evil and inconsistent, and false.
That only shows your total misunderstanding of the Bible.

You can't even blow your own nose without invoking a god

Can't you troll more creatively than this?
There is nothing wrong to consider the entire universe is based on God.
There is when there is no evidence or proof that such a thing as a god exists.
That's only your old atheist doctrine. The time has changed. I have
shown you the evidence of God with my signature.

I don't have to prove it. It's my logical conclusion based on the fact
that modern philosophy denies the existence of God who happens to be the
only source of meaning and substance in all philosophy. Without God,
modern philosophy can have nothing but abstract empty concepts.

The brain is our major communication channel between the physical and
the spiritual. When it's damaged, we will lose the ability to acquire
certain spiritual understandings. As an adult, we can become aware of
our reduced ability. As a child, we may not be able to realize such
damage when we have never developed such ability in the first place.
There is nothing to be surprised about that.

Brains aren't spiritual.
Then the brain can't do the job that can only be accomplished by the
spiritual. Your scientific interpretation of the brain function is
contradicting with the philosophical understanding of the spiritual
ability. From the view of philosophy, the physical brain is incapable to
accomplish any spiritual task at all. Thinking, decision making, and
human conscience are all spiritual abilities.

As an adult, we can become aware of
our reduced ability. As a child, we may not be able to realize such
damage when we have never developed such ability in the first place.
There is nothing to be surprised about that.
Certain kinds of brain damage impair the conscience
function. Some brain damage can impair sensibility too.
That seems to have affected you deeply.
That should be even more evidence that the brain is only a communication
hub.

But mortality is not an abstract concept in the human mind it is the
observation of human activity combined with human empathy which is
based on each person's understanding of how they feel about things.
Which is nothing but an abstract concept in the human mind.
Post by Cloud Hobbit
Normal sane people do not try and hurt each other unless they are
being attacked. Normal people understand that murder is wrong
because it means that their life is over and they will never have a
chance to love, or smile, or have any kind of experience anymore.
Sane people do not treat others in a way they wouldn't want to be
treated, that is human nature and has nothing to do with God.
That can't be true. What you have described is a rather shallow
understanding of morality. If it's put under a different situation, your
description could be shown to be immoral instead. Therefore, without
relying on God, whatever you call morality can always be made into
immorality simply by putting it under a different situation or
circumstance. You would have no real morality if you deny God.
Neuroscience and artificial conscience
Numerous case studies of brain damage have shown
that damage to areas of the brain (such as the
anterior prefrontal cortex) results in the
reduction or elimination of inhibitions, with a
corresponding radical change in behaviour.[78] When
the damage occurs to adults, they may still be able
to perform moral reasoning; but when it occurs to
children, they may never develop that
ability.[79][80]

Does this remind you of anyone you might know?
The brain is our major communication channel between the physical and
the spiritual.
Nope, wrong guess. The brain does information
processing, control, and decision making. In humans, one
part of it also functions as the conscience. Get it? A
conscience is the seat of human morality. It's a
physical thing.
Brains aren't spiritual.

So how does the brain communicate with the spirit world?
Does it have little spiritual antennae etched into it
like a wifi chip?

How do the spiritual world and the real world interact
with each other? Is "spirit" a particle or a wave?

When the brain is damaged, the mind will not be able to acquire the
necessary information, so there will not be interaction happening
between the mind and the spiritual world.

Actually, it all thanks to my brain injury I'm able to realize that the
brain is nothing but complicated cable wires to transmit information
only. My brain damage only makes me unable to recall certain things. It
never requires me to relearn the things I have already known before. I
know the knowledge is there. I just can't reach it.

"There is a famous story told in Chassidic literature that addresses
this very question. The Master [teacher] teaches the student that
God created everything in the world to be appreciated, since
everything is here to teach us a lesson.
One cleaver student asks: 'What lesson can we learn from atheists?
Why did God create them?'
The Master responds: 'God created atheists to teach us the most
important lesson of them all -- the lesson of true compassion. You
see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who
is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not
doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that
God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe
in God at all, so his acts are based on an inner sense of morality.
And look at the kindness he can bestow upon others simply because he
feels it to be right.'
Where does this "inner sense of morality" come from if not from God?
You moron, whatever character or traits human possess come from nature!!!!!

'This means,' the Master continued, 'that when someone reaches out
to you for help, you should never say 'I pray that God will help
you.' Instead for the moment, you should become an atheist, imagine
that there is no God who can help, and say: 'I will help you'."
Apparently not. It's his "inner sense of morality" made him do that.

greater than any physical functions. The things listed in my signature

that there is no God who can help, and say: 'I will help you'."
Apparently not. It's his "inner sense of morality" made him do that.
There is no fucking pixie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blind denial.
Your stupidity is obvious.
Your blindness is undeniable.

"There is a famous story told in Chassidic literature that addresses
this very question. The Master [teacher] teaches the student that
God created everything in the world to be appreciated, since
everything is here to teach us a lesson.
One cleaver student asks: 'What lesson can we learn from atheists?
Why did God create them?'
The Master responds: 'God created atheists to teach us the most
important lesson of them all -- the lesson of true compassion. You
see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who
is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not
doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that
God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe
in God at all, so his acts are based on an inner sense of morality.
And look at the kindness he can bestow upon others simply because he
feels it to be right.'
Where does this "inner sense of morality" come from if not from God?
You moron, whatever character or traits human possess come from nature!!!!!
Nature is physical. The physical nature is not capable to provide the
non-physical ability of life. The ability demonstrated by life is a lot
greater than any physical functions. The things listed in my signature
are beyond the physical nature. Any of them is far greater than the
things in the physical world.
Nature is what you have, nothing more!!!
Whatever comes from you is given by nature and your resistance if futile.
I have shown you the world of philosophy that is not physical. Why can't
you recognize it?
You know nothing about this world, let alone philosophy!!!
Philosophy is not about this world. It's about the greater world
dominating this world. We, as life, are evidence of this greater world
because we are able to dominate this world. By better understanding the
world of philosophy, we will better understand ourselves. This is why
philosophy has all the answers of life.

Well, it's only lying if he knows it's false.

I don't think someone who believes, say, the the Earth is flat
or that vaccines cause autism or that you have to be careful
to eat carefully so as to keep your body's pH alkaline is -- in most cases anyhow -- lying.

They're just mistaken.

Just as with "aaa" here. Except in his case you have to ask at
what point mistaken beliefs stop being small, local, and mundane
and become cosmic in scope, encompassing such fundamental issues
as ontology and epistemology.

At which point we've graduated from minor mistaken beliefs and
entered the realm of grandiose egoistical delusional thinking.

I don't care about the dead philosophy. I intend to show you the real
philosophy. There is nothing abstract, and it's absolutely important to
life. The best of all, you don't even need to pretend to be a
philosopher to understand what I'm saying.

It's just a matter of fact. There is nothing I can do. Aristotle never
got the slightest clue about the teaching of Socrates and Plato. He is
the very reason why philosophy today is abstract and meaningless.
___________________

Aristotle was a student of Plato you moron.

Aristotle invented logic.

Aristotle is considered the father of western philosophy and was one of the greatest thinkers to ever live.

You are an obsessive, weirdo who pretends to be an idiot.

No, no. Angels and men are truly God's creation. But God only deals in love
and goodness. Fallen angel and as sinning man comes from a attitude controlled
by Satan, who is definitely not of God.

You better check with grey on that one. God doesn't create evil attitudes,
satan does. You see, grey rejects evil as a thing, thus evil is a satanist
attitude.

Thank you for that story. When my Jewish aunt started discussing
religion with me, I immediately told her that I was an atheist.
She asked me if I was a good person. I told her that I was. I
couldn't live with myself if I wasn't. She said that was all that
mattered. We got along fine.
