Debate on God: Muslim vs Atheist

6 posts in this topic

Interesting discussion. The Muslim man is saying a lot of the things that Leo is saying, whilst the Atheist man is saying all the things that Leo hates about Orange. Even though I’m pretty sure the Muslim man is Blue. 

 


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

I listened to the lottery draw discussion part about halfway through. The religious man gives a common ideology to argue the existence of an intelligent creator - it’s a variation of the “fine tuning argument”. That is, imagine a lottery draw of 1 million numbers. To get a particular combination is so infinitesimal that it’s virtually impossible. Yet that is from the perspective before the lottery has taken place. After the numbers are drawn, there is a 100% chance those numbers were drawn. There is a 100% chance that what is IS. 

I’m not arguing that some form of “supernatural” intelligence doesn’t exist. It’s just that this particular argument for an anthropomorphic god is nonsense to me. 

I appreciate how respectful they were to each other.

I don't hate Orange. It's just limited.

BTW, I'm no fan of dogmatic Muslims. They can be extremely annoying.

Blindly being right doesn't count for much. An atheist is still more developed than a Blue Muslim.

We need more Green Muslims.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

Journalist Mehdi Hasan is a good example of a solid green Muslim

I'm not interested in watching the video. I'll just say this and move on:

There's no point in debating about God, unless you have an ideology to spread.

Doesn't matter what the ideology may be.

Good point ??The realisation of God will come from within - if it is to be ?
