Not on whether one is right or wrong but whether you hold a consistent view and dont contradict yourself. I took no direct hits and bit one bullet.

1 direct hit on my last question, but I made a mistake and clicked true when I wanted false.

My prize -

You have been awarded the TPM medal of honour! This is our highest award for outstanding service on the intellectual battleground.

The fact that you progressed through this activity neither being hit nor biting a bullet suggests that your beliefs about God are internally consistent and very well thought out.

It's bollocks. In one question I said that it's rational to beleive that there is no Loch Ness Monster due to lack of evidence but I then said that atheism is a form of faith because there is no proof that there is no God which it claimed was contradictory.

I don't think it is. Just because it's rational for you to beleive the Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist doesn't mean you're right and the same applies to atheism, IMHO.

Intersting, its when you start to delve deeper that it becomes complicated.

bit like the issues we face now : is it pure faith and a an unfaltering belief, or just being misguided.


anyway there was one major error, anyone spot it? (and it wasnt spelling)

I agree, the same question had me. A faith is a way of life and morals beliefs, imo, therefore god need or need not play a part in it. Even if atheism is based upon actual facts and rational understanding, you can still have faith in humanity and society.

You say one unproven is rational and one unproven is faith. There COULD be a Loch Ness monster, just no evidence as yet. Thats a rational decision, therefore athesim should also be a rational decision as there could be a god just that there is no evidence yet, they both have to be consistent. Hope that helps. Faith is the belief in something with no evidence, ie you have to believe it is true and there has to be no evidence

I got tripped on on the can God make square circles question. I said yes because my interpretation is that being an omnipotent superbeing you can do anything, hence a universe could be created where square circles are possible (presumably using more dimensions), but I bit a bullet for that one

It's the question's context I fell foul on.....

The Loch Ness monster story, being hundreds of years old, one would assume that if it existed, it would be dead by now, and therefore does not exist. That is my rational answer to the loch ness question. As it was asked in a the present context, not past. The Loch Ness monster has never been claimed to be immortal.

God on the otherhand is considered imortal, so a present context is valid.

Don't know, how long did the average dinosaur live for? Rationally speaking, it would be safe to assume it was dead (in my opinion).

Damn, I typed "assume"
