For the better part of a century, socialists (Democrats) have been using science as a weapon to destroy the very fabric of American society. Today they propagate the global warming myth, forty years ago they were sounding the global cooling alarm, and they’ve used junk science to teach evolution in our nation’s schools.
To the socialist it is somehow easier to believe that aliens put us here or that we emerged from some primordial sludge than it is to believe in God. Socialist leadership, under the guise of “organizing”, use the environment, gay rights, immigration, or any number of causes as a form of religion to keep their unwitting masses in line. Their absence of God, and therefore morality, leaves these desperate souls longing to believe in something. How else can you explain a human being that is willing to risk their life to save a tree or a whale, yet they have no qualms about aborting a baby or assisted suicide?

It is pretty simple. I do not accept your assertion. Now if you want me to accept it give me a reason to.
You do not have to accept the assertion that God has all attributes. It would be reasonable for you to ask me, had I asserted such, to give proof or evidence for such. I have not. I do not assert that God is evil.
Now you asserted that wave collapse is uncaused. Show me.
Wrong, because it's up to you to provide evidence to support your assertion.
We have provided evidence and you have consistently disallowed it, a standard tactic of evolutionists. Just because you don't like the evidence and don't want the assertion to be true, does not mean that the evidence is not valid.
You are free to reject it, but to maintain credibility, you must provide a valid reason for rejecting it, other than the fact that you don't want to admit that there is a Creator who lays claim to your life.
"Some properties are such that, if every part of a whole has the property, then the whole will, too. In such instances, the fallacy of composition does not apply."
Since GOD is defined as all properties then I am not committing that particular fallacy. Defining something as everything is a fallacy in itself.
You guys win : )
I have no evidence to dispute your claim that your ‘GOD of all attributes’ is full of crap.
You certainly did. You said a certain object was God. That object not being God. Then proceeded to "prove" that God did not exist because that object was not on your desk. That is most assuredly fallacy of composition.
Defining something as everything is a fallacy in itself.
Then "everything" is a useless word. The set of all sets does or does not exist?
Proverbs 16:18, Pride goeth before destruction,. and a haughty spirit before a fall.
It seems the Bible understood LG long before we did. Were he to bother he would find there is much wisdom in the Bible dealing with a wide variety of subjects.
Nihilism in a tote bag. What is your evidence for that assertion?
If your denial is without evidence, and you refuse further elaboration, then your assertion enjoys no greater status than that which you confer upon others. But, Alamo-Girl has provided you examples of cause and effect (#418), so what you allege is not true.
You are like the three-year-old boy who answers everything with “why” and imagines himself the cleverest fellow around, when you are but the faintest fart in a distant galaxy.

Amen to that, dear sister in Christ!
But have mercy. Perhaps our friend is just epistemologically "obtuse".... Perhaps he didn't invest enough of his life and time in math and logic studies???
I can well believe that.
How’d you make out in the storm?
You still have power, I see, and you were even on the worst side of it and it’s about over you right now, from all I can tell.
Well, in general the whole thing didn't live up to its public reputation, given 48-hour (at least) coverage on ALL the TV media round-the-clock, local or national. As if nothing else of importance was going on in the world.
Meanwhile, I'm avid for news out of, say, Syria....
Be that as it may: It's been really soggy here, in Boston's Metrowest. My town is approximately halfway between Boston and Worcester, and the stormtrack passed to the West of us. Meaning: My town was on the NE "nasty" side of a hurricane — which had already been downgraded to a tropical storm before it actually got here. So we got maybe 8" of rain here — the rain started yesterday about 2 p.m., and has been continuous ever since, with heavy intermittent downpours.
We live on a hill. So I wasn't worried about flooding problems; I was worried about wind problems. I was worried that one of the mature oak trees in the front yard, or of one of the impressively tall white pines in the backyard, would fall on the house. Fortunately, the wind speeds were evidently insufficient to cause this result.
We are still standing! Both rain and wind are gone where I live, as of now.
I hope your tree — the one you referred to in a recent post — survived. Or at least didn't become a destructive missile....
We hardly got ANY wind at all.
A real let down for a meteorologist. :)
But good news for this homeowner.
"He's a man-man, baby!"
Truly I love to meditate on the Names of God. One of my favorite Scriptures in the meditation:
But how does he/we know what paths/how many paths are possible?
But that's an epistemic problem, I suppose — a problem relating to "understanding."
As for me, I believe that my very existence is contingent on God, that my existence is a participation in divine Being — in the I AM.
