| I already sent you the arguments that are available in a book. You can check it out if you want, or not. It appears to be written by people. Just like every other book, including the Quran and the Bible. Believing a book was written by something other than people doesn't make it so. I can claim som... |

| I would say it depends on the language as well. If you're interested in programming though, I think as long as you have a good understanding of the normal fundamentals of programming languages (data types, controls, comparisons, loops, functions, etc) you can just piece things together and learn as ... |

| Are you suggesting that religious books were written by something other than humans? :scratch: If that's what you're claiming, that's the truly bold claim. Its a bold claim to make broad sweeping and absolute claims about a lot of things. Stating that every religious book is written by man is an ex... |

| I like the sense of nostalgia. On the statue, is that how it is? I didn't get a chance to see it in my time in Sarajevo. |

| I'm happy seeing all the green on the miner etf's for both silver and gold. Been expecting a major financial crisis for too long and shifted into those a while back. Timing is always the problem when you can see the writing on the wall but the masses and the markets take too long to catch up. Hopefu... |

| the only real information that we can have about God is what God has chosen to tell us. All religious books are written by humans. These writers clame divine inspiration but if "God is outside of time and space, as well as the ability of humans to fully comprehend" these books doesn't bea... |

Diagnosed as very high functioning ASD in March 2025 and borderline OCPD and it's likely I have ADHD. I joined because I thought this might be a good way to connect with the neurodiverse ... |

| The proper way to deal with how God is to a believer is through the information from the religion. Skipping to that step is bypassing the strong arguments for an existence of a God and critical evaluation of revelation to determine what is true and accurate. As God is outside of time and space, as w... |

| A doctrine not worth following imo. The main source of those doctrines openly says he's lying about God to get followers. Most of the prophet's teachings were tossed aside. So, you're more a choose-your-own-adventure-Christian, or just being a contrarian for contradiction's sake? Where did you get ... |

| 1) It has an established doctrinal basis based on whatever was the basis for that doctrine to be establish (revelation, borrowing from prior faiths, philosophising, scholarly works, etc) 2) the personal god that a person has made up in their own mind is all good, which is essentially a person estab... |

| Is there a standard definition for those? Let's use the definitions provided by Wiktionary going forward, for simplicity's sake. Well, by those short definitions and their minimal examples, they wouldn't all apply, nor do the examples even align with each other. Omnibenevolent's entry has "The... |

| Why is there an assumption that the 4 omni's are in required attributes of God, and what definitions of those words are you working with? I don't believe they're required, I don't believe precluding a Good god that possesses all four precludes any god. As for definitions, the standard ones. Is ther... |

| I've been on and off with linux since the 90's, but never fully went away from windows. At best during that time I had a dual boot going on and mostly used linux except for a few games in the days before steam was a thing and few games were made to be cross platform. In many ways I prefer linux, but... |
