The Meaning Of The Trinity

Intelligence is a curious thing... highly intelligent people can be downright stupid in certain areas of thought."One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool" - George Orwell

Yes, of course. That is why I am a Truly Hard Atheist^TM.You really latch onto the obvious, don't you cracker-head?

Happiness and experiences don't add up to meaning. You're just a bunch of molecules that is here today and will be gone tomorrow, so you have no more meaning than a bag of mud.If you come from nothing and go back to nothing, whatever happens in between (life) is also nothing. You're sense of meaning is just an illogical (and meaningless) delusion.But since life is meaningless (according to atheism), it doesn't matter if you live your life in a fog of delusion. Anything goes, coz everything means nothing..

But you're still my best friend.

No, but what I do get is that for someone with three degrees (in radically different disciples, two at Master's level, one from Cambridge University, England), you're a very shallow thinker.P.S. Any degree offered by any Humanities faculty is not a real degree.

That applies to your top academic achievement, Participation Certificate in Cracker Dynamics. It has no intellectual value.

So true, but the Eucharist is not about being about intellectual. It's infinity more than that.

infinitely

Oh, that is so true. No intelligent thought to any of your creed.

"Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you considers himself wise in this age, let him become a fool so as to become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in the eyes of God" (1Cor 3:18-19).

Funny, the Protestants say the same thing...gibberish.

"Let no one be deceived by stories from priests. Their goals are to make knowledge and wisdom foolish so to strengthen obedience." (AZPaul3 4:20)

I was wondering when you'd have to resort to arguing about the meaning of words rather than the substantive argument.What I and others here have said many times is that we find meaning in our lives. That's a statement of fact.
​ We've also said that there is no ultimate purpose for life being here at all. They are two different statements aren't they?We're saying that even though life itself has no ultimate purpose, we can find meaning for ourselves in being alive. And that's enough for us. We don't need to create an imaginary purpose for life in order to find meaning in our own lives. Another factually wrong statement. Quite clearly 'anything' does not go. Despite being an atheist I lead a very Christian life. Can you square that circle, lawyer? Why am I not a murdering rapist?

"the natural man does not accept what pertains to the Spirit of God, for to him it is foolishness, and he cannot understand it, because it is spiritually discerned." (1Cor 2:14)

Tangle, you state that you are an atheist; in fact a hard
atheist.As a hard-core atheist you cannot rely on theistic
evolution to explain the origin of life.You sir, must explain in detail how the first life originated.I am not going to give you a pass on this.If you cannot explain how life originated, NO, more than
that, you must prove how the first life began, or admit to
everyone on this site that you cannot.What you believe is based on nothing but blind faith. It
has nothing to do with real science.Life does not come from nonlife. Life coming from
preexisting life is the only fact that is verified.Observable science verifies my assertion time and time
and time again.
