Right. And I don't think SCOTUS will overturn that one judges's decision, although it remains a possibility.

By the way, atheism does not fit the M-W definitions of philosophy.
Evolution does not derive from atheism. It derives from "evidence". There are almost 2 billion Christians in the world who accept evolution. There are nowhere near that many atheists, although atheists do outnumber all non-Abrahamic religions (according to PEW research).
I did not say I wanted to change my "story" (your word). I simply asked a question. There are two possible answers: "yes" or "no".
I have proved it often, which is why you believe in an eternal universe. I'm not going there again.

And I didn't use the word atheism in my last post. "Atheistic" is an adjective describing "materialism" (a noun for your info).

And I don't care what other professing Christians believe. I will stand before God and answer to Him for myself, not them.

And change whatever you want...or don't. As I said, that will not change my opinion of you. So...do what makes you feel good.

You have never proven anything. I've called you out on this before. You simply post drivel and then chant "Law of non-contradiction". As for "not going there again" you have not been there in the first place. If you had you would reference a post number, not piss and moan. You have nothing. You are a prevaricator (your word).

Is there such a thing as theist materialism? If not then why do you need the adjective? Does the word "redundant" mean anything to you? Surely you are not claiming that the intended main thrust of your comment was not the word "atheistic".

No, you will not. You will simply rot in your grave like everyone else.

Would those be papers consenting to your lifetime confinement in an asylum?

Talk about Delusional...

Top Vatican Official Proposes Communist China as ‘Best’ Model of Catholic Social Teaching Today

With forced abortions, slave labor, the rampant persecution of Christians, severely limited freedoms, and a church demolition campaign under China’s one-party system, it is hard to imagine how anyone—let alone a high ranking Catholic prelate—could put forward China as an example of Catholic social teaching done right, and social media has predictably lit up with commenters excoriating the apparently delusional bishop for descending into “self-parody.”

http://www.breitbart.com/national-se...paign=20180207

What is also very revealing about this socialist (if not outright communist) prelate is his silence on the ever-burgeoning Christian Church in spite of its intense persecution at the hands of the state. Instead he praises communism as being the best model for Catholic social teaching. But there is plus side to this guy's lunacy: Since he didn't say a word about one of the largest Christian churches on the planet, we can be certain Jesus was no socialist.

What I had in mind was a check!

Or checks if you can't afford a lump sum.

On the other hand, if you believe scripture, the early Christians were.

Acts 11:29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

Acts 4:35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.

Sound familiar?

We consider many "ineffable" things frequently. Just because we can express a concept in words. does not mean we can not think of it. It isd derived from the Latin ineffabilis, meaning “unutterable,”

Ineffability is concerned with ideas that cannot or should not be expressed in spoken words (or language in general)

How about Infinity?... Modern mathematics uses the general concept of infinity in the solution of many practical and theoretical problems, such as in calculus and set theory, and the idea also is used in physics and the other sciences.

In mathematics, "infinity" is often treated as a number (i.e., it counts or measures things: "an infinite number of terms") but it is not the same sort of number as either a natural or a real number.

Mathematics in general may convey meanings that words can not


Hows about zero?

Literally your god is a slumlord. A fool and a spoiled brat. Why would a omnipotent, omnipresent, all knowing dipshit use an ancient tribal people with torches and spears and clubs to utterly destroy all of a rival tribe, when he could wink an eye and do it him(it)self?

Was he teaching murdering and debauchery?. And there are other biblical stories teaching rape. A dipshit to say the least.

Out of context. Sound familiar?

Do you know the difference between voluntarinesses and a mandate?

He used Israel to instill faith in them and to teach them that he's at once a just and loving God. He used Israel to administer justice to His enemies and their enemies. He also used them to show that his love and compassion is unfailing and infinite toward all those who love him and fear (reverence) him.

There's lots of plusses to "hands on" learning and experience.

Why consider that which is incomprehensible? Do you consider every day Zbxgiquv? Unlimited agnosticism is as absurd as...well, frankly you.

These are abstract and probabilistic examples.

So...your higher reality is what exactly...zero? Is "zero" what you meditate on everyday in your prayer closet?
