Quote: 19:40 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: philosophising??!?! 19:40 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: sorry about the HUUGE wait 19:55 - [TCHS] Nannal: it's cool 19:56 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: how has the progressed? 19:56 - [TCHS] Nannal: God talk is meaningless “To be god is to be perfection, to know god is to know perfection and to talk of god is to convey perfection from ones mentality to another’s through an imperfect means”. This assertion of course needs to be proven instead of being taken as is. The first statement “To be God is to be perfection” means of course that the following argument cannot be applied to a religious belief that states that god is imperfect. However I could of course argue that to be god is to set the bar for perfection however from the viewpoint of our society this could be dangerous, for example there were many god of war each very much imperfect and each with the ability to state that to be in war is to be in the best possible human state. Therefore we must accept only religions that state that their gods are not designated to certain aspects and that “God is perfect”, Christianity and Islam for example (although Hinduism does apply its gods to aspects the one God Brahman is said to be perfect. However everything we can know is part of Brahman yet Hinduism states that when the word becomes too corrupt Shiva will destroy it and therefore Brahman is susceptible to imperfection and this Hinduism does not fill the criteria needed.) I hasten to add that of course I will be returning to religions that have imperfect gods and I will of course therefore be not simply neglecting them, simply putting them aside for the moment. Now we have established that for a select few religions “To be God is to be perfect” 20:00 - [TCHS] Nannal: from there I go onto religious experiences and how only people who have truly known god could talk about him meaningfully 20:00 - [TCHS] Nannal: and from that language is obviously open to interpretation and thus imperfect 20:01 - [TCHS] Nannal: then go onto that god cannot be perfect due to the problem of evil 20:01 - [TCHS] Nannal: and thus all talk of god must be meaningful 20:01 - [TCHS] Nannal: *some 20:04 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: I think it's good so far. All the main religions apply utmost perfection to the nature of God, but you've touched on the limitations of this with regards to Hinduism, for example. But don't forget to relate it to the logical positivists in a way that looks and sounds amazing...and proves that you are God. Relating to that, you could say that all God speak is meaningful because no one has established a criterion by which you can outlaw talking about God and such unscrupulous things alone, without spilling into other ideas. I think i'll play with the question "is logical positivism meaningless if we apply the question of logical positivism to it?" 20:05 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: I think you've touched on the right point exactly with language... 20:06 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: ..and a religious person might accept the logical limits of their belief, opting instead for a more intuitive method. It's this intuition and belief absent of justification that, i think , angers those pesky positivists the most... 20:09 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: Obviously, I think we're approaching the issue from different points of view. I'm ignoring the question of the meaningless of God speak (being a non-believer and all) and assuming it is. I then (hope) I can move on and say that the Logical positivists outlaw, through their ideas, things that they don't want to. I then intend to postulate that it is all, ultimately, intuitive and non-refutable... 20:09 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: don't listen to my voodoo antics... 20:09 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: i'm MAAAAD 20:10 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: really MAAAD! 20:10 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: really really MAAAAAD! 20:10 - [TCHS] Nannal: yes, yes you are 20:12 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: brb 20:12 - [TCHS] Nannal: You better be 20:17 - [TCHS] Nannal: what were the criteria for a true religious experience 20:17 - [TCHS] Nannal: ineffability was an important one in my argument 20:17 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: soz wait a sec... 20:17 - [TCHS] Nannal: *Sorry 20:31 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: errm. 20:32 - [TCHS] Nannal: Type as though you were writing, people have <I AM INSULTING PEOPLE> typing and it is my firm intention to stop that from happening. 20:32 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: i'll check my notes. I actually mentioned in my Heythorp essay that a religious experience can provide an empirical justification for the existence of God in the Christian sense. Though I also touched on the logical issues of an all-powerful God...]# 20:32 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: : 20:33 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: if he's all-powerful, is he understandable through the human nature? 20:33 - [TCHS] Nannal: dont worry, I'm past it 20:33 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: it's a limitation for him tro be; is it not a limitation for him not to be? 20:33 - [TCHS] Nannal: I went round it 20:33 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: JEW! 20:35 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: Dawkins also postulated that omnipotence and omniscience are incompatible... 20:38 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: If a god is all-powerful, dawkins argues, he should be able to change his mind... 20:39 - [TCHS] Nannal: he could, he just dosnt because he is right 20:39 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: If god is omniscient, he shouldn't need to change his mind. It's a jammy criticism in my view. I don't like it 20:39 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: Perhaps you touch on the critical point 20:40 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: god, i'm trying to do too many things at once!! 20:40 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: ARRRGH! 20:43 - [TCHS] Nannal: you're excluded from the above, you are allowed to talk at me 20:43 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: talk "AT" you, eh? 20:44 - [TCHS] Nannal: That was the joke 20:44 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: well IT'S NOT FUNNY!!! 20:46 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: is the doing a 2nd essay, or just the one? 20:46 - [TCHS] Nannal: this is the first one 20:47 - [TCHS] Nannal: and i have to do the other one for tuesday 20:47 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: tuesday? 20:47 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: TUESDAY! 20:47 - [TCHS] Nannal: however I have another essay that needs doing 20:47 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: TUUUUEDDAY?!?!? 20:47 - [TCHS] Nannal: and that's when the extention is to 20:48 - [TCHS] Nannal: however I might sneak round the english one i have to have done for tommrow by station that I worked upon it but had other essays priotised above it 20:48 - [TCHS] Nannal: and having only two nights to do it when the others had eleven seems unfair in my eyes 20:48 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: it is 20:48 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: indeed it is 20:48 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: indeed 20:49 - [TCHS] Nannal: anyway I'm really going to need your help fitting the stuff we actually learned into this because I'm bad at that kind of thing 20:50 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: i'll be with you after i've organised a few things, and culled Matt. And had by lovely curry 20:56 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: sorry, i'll be back in a bit... [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK] is now Away. 21:04 - [TCHS] Nannal: it's cool, i'm "Playing" what I'm playing to get matt to <LOOK MA, I AM SWEARING> off [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK] is now Online.

interesting convo ^^ i see someone has been reading 'the God delusion' good book its been a while since i read it but iirc the 'can god change his mind' part is actually a paradox verse by Karen Ownens (Can omniscient God, who Knows the future, find The omnipotence to Change His future mind?) dawkings mealy quoted it to show the logical fallacy in the 'perfect' god. if he is omniscience he CANNOT ever change his mind because it means he was wrong. of course he could still be immensely powerful and all knowing. or all powerful and super intelligent. but not both and hence, he is not perfect. |

Quote: 22:49 - [TCHS] Nannal: I'm tempted to just leave it as it is and put "So tired, hands ache, fingers attacked with super glue, this is just the analogical way proven to be the best of three terrible ways, wish family still loved me" at the bottom

The answer is no, there are evils within our world that a perfect God (one with omnipotence) would have corrected and therefore God is inherently imperfect without the imperfections that come from the human mind and the constraints of human language." 23:55 - [TCHS] Nannal: who ever wrote that must be smart 23:55 - [TCHS] Nannal: I bet all the women fall for him 23:55 - [DUNG] Roman In Disguise [UK]: lol 23:55 - [TCHS] Nannal: and if they dont they ought to |
