If I were an atheist materialist I would have no way around believing that in a sense my conscious experience is eternally inevitable. If you believe your conscious experience is tied to a specific arrangement of matter then given enough time and iteration that arrangement of matter is inevitable to reoccur. You wouldnât experience the gap between iterations you would simply âwake upâ after death to the next iteration.
Itâs still not solid philosophy to assume the brain âcreates consciousnessâ but rather that there is a link between the brain and conscious experience. It seems conciousness could be much more fundamental. Emergent consciousness imo doesnât work.

Well child⌠Because there are things about the universe that couldâve been different. Which implies that these characteristics are contingent upon something else for their existence. We also have evidence that the universe as we currently know it with time and space did not always exist. Which by definition makes it contingent upon something else for its existence. God on the other hand is definitionally the greatest concievable being. He has no contingent traits that require something else for him to exist. In fact, the only way to answer the question as to why anything exists rather than nothing is that there must exist something that was uncreated⌠and it appears our universe doesnât meet the criteria to fulfill that role.

To claim to know as matter of certainty all these things at once is truly dishonest or ignorant:
1. God exists
2. Christianity is the correct way to access God
3. My interpretation of the Bible and what leads to salvation is correct
Heck i could add a 4th point that youâre certain that there even is an afterlife.
These things require faith. There is evidence to support Christianity but no one can seriously in good concious claim that all 4 of these are 100% certain.
And vice versa. Iâve been in long term relationships for essentially my entire adult life. Iâm now 30 and single and itâs extremely hard.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. My life has been completely transformed countless times by his grace and teachings. Turning from sin, learning to forgive others even when itâs hard, and doing your best to treat everybody you encounter as if they are created in the literal image of God will change your life and I implore everybody to give it a try.

My Spiderman 5 pitch:
Spider-Man continues to grasp with balancing his life as a hero with his life as Peter Parker, unlike a brand new day, however he finds that he is having more trouble keeping control of street level crime at the beginning of the movie. The crimes are becoming more elaborate and more predicated on finding ways to evade and prevent Spider-Man from faulting their plans.
Spider-Man, however, now fully in his prime still somehow finds a way to stop their plans in heroic feats of strength and wisdom. But the crimes are getting more and more elaborate, and he sees that it may come to a point where thereâs nothing much more he can do.
Enter Wilson Fisk, played by Dean Norris (uncle Hank from breaking bad) a powerful speaker, and a moving politician running for mayor of New York who claims he can be the one to control and bring New York back to glory.
Unlike J Jonah Jamison, Fisk doesnât completely try to slander Spider-Man however, he sees Spider-Man as someone who somehow can both be used to achieve his goals while simultaneously being in the way of his ultimate goal of complete power.
The movie unfolds as Spider-Man has to unravel the story of the kingpin and take him down before he claims ultimate control over the city.
Fisk throws everything at Spider-Man, including using a new villain Hob Goblin who is a brainwashed and super powered Ned Leeds⌠Peterâs best friend.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Odyssey and I think conservatives that are upset about them removing misogynistic aspects and casting a transgender person are missing the point. I do disagree with the Elliot Page casting in a sense that I wouldnât have casted them in that role. But I understand that in Nolanâs mind he was looking for an actor who could portray to the audience that they donât deserve and were not equipped to be somebody thrown into the great Trojan war. That somebody giving their responsibility to go to war on that person is the ultimate sign of cowardice. In that sense the casting actually kind of made sense. And as far as the misogynistic aspects, I think Christians need to be careful to not accidentally imply that Christianity is misogynistic and that removing misogyny is anti-christian.

Hereâs an orthodox christian response to the LGBT topic: As christianâs we view everything in this world to be connected and oriented toward one single objective purpose. Which is alignment to the ultimate source of all goodness and love. In laymenâs terms the well being and prosperity of all creation and to honor the source of creation (God). We also believe that God left us with guidelines and instructions on how to achieve this. Marriage is one way that God has proclaimed we can achieve this. And defined marriage as between one man and one woman for the sub goals of reproduction and raising strong families. And ultimately, sex within marriage has the primary role of instigating responsible reproduction and intimate marriages. Any sex whether hetero or homosexual outside of the context of marriage is inherently falling short of its intended purpose and can lead to a plethora of issues for society. There is nuance to this. In a secular structured society such as the USA gay marriage makes complete sense since the word marriage is defined differently both legally and culturally than the strict orthodox christian definition. Christianâs who want to live in a secular country like the USA should not judge and mind their own business when it comes to these topics and live how they wanna live and let others live the way they want to live. Love, as our lord says, is the ultimate marker of alignment towards the truth.

The best thing for Messiâs legacy would be him scoring two goals and losing to England. Argentina isnât beating Spain and Messi losing in another final will relight the fire of the Ronaldo fans.

That in itself asserts a philosophical position that only things that can be proven are true. Or that anything not proven should be rejected. Yet many donât reject concepts like the multiverse or the infinite existence of our universe even though neither have been proven true.

Nah weâre gonna destroy this narrative. On behalf of Lakers nation we say thank you to LeBron for bringing us out of our irrelevancy and will defend that 2020 championship forever. Without him we donât get Anthony Davis or Luka DonÄiÄ in Austin Reaves development probably looks much different. But it was for the best and not giving a maximum contract to a soon to be grandpa who canât sustain 30+ mins of transition defense is whatâs gonna allow us to get past the second round finnaly. Peace âď¸ out the king đ thanks for the ring đ

I disagree. First You have to clearly define the Bible, the inspired books, and passages. If youâre a protestant, then youâre already saying you donât believe a part of the Bible by rejecting certain books that the Catholic Orthodox Church include. If youâre a catholic or orthodox Christian, then I can see your point a bit but it also (sorry for my Jordan Peterson language) depends on what you mean by believe⌠believe that the event actually happened in reality ? Believe that the recorded event was a story that reflected actual human archetypes, but didnât actually occur in reality? For example, if someone says, I donât believe that there was two people named Adam and Eve that populated the entire earth. But that you do believe that there came a time when humanity was capable of making moral choices and choose to decide good and bad for themselves rather than lean on the understanding that God provided us does that make you not a Christian? Are you the one that decides the correct interpretation that if people follow that interpretation theyâre christian???
Who says they arenât? And I also think Demon possession is not always exactly how people imagine it. It can be defined as an alignment of the mind towards pure evil and corruption. This applies to both religious and non-religious people. And the cure is alignment towards perfection.

Honestly, I think the way we classify belief needs updating in general because I think throwing agnostic in front of what you believe in sort of just doesnât hold much ground to me. Mostly because no one can truly know or assert either way with 100% confidence, both sides, lean on faith a little bit to reach the gap in their position. To say someone is an agnostic theist or agnostic atheist doesnât hold much different than just saying that someone is atheist or theist. None of us know for sure but we take a position or we take no position at all. So we basically have two choices to make:
Say that 90%+ of people are agnostic theist or agnostic atheist with a very small percentage of people actually claiming that they with 100% certainty know for absolute fact that their position is correct (which is just a silly ass assertion philosophically)
Or
Say that there are theists, atheists, and agnostics. People who assert there is a higher probability God exists than doesnât, people who assert there is a higher probability God does not exist than does, and people who say that they think itâs close enough odds either way or are uneducated enough to make a claim about the odds.
The latter classification to me is much better than the former.
