quote: ORIGINAL: xssve Ah, see? Now that's Calvinism, not Christianity. Have you not heard of the expression Almighty God? Anyway, having attained enlightenment I can cope with the contradictions better than most. The problem is you have yet to attain enlightenment. You, on the other hand, are likely saying to yourself, "Ick! Why would I want that?"

quote: ORIGINAL: BenevolentM White magick involves agreeable things. It is deceptive in that things which are agreeable need not be true. Black magick has the same problem since it too involves agreeable things. It is deceptive in that things which are agreeable need not be true. Gray magick is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for truth. So the mere fact that you practice gray magick does not mean that you serve truth. It could simply mean that you are willing to switch sides according to whatever suits you; hence, the practice of gray magick can also involve things that are agreeable. The practice of magick is replete with opportunities for self-deception. The means to achieve results has little to do with truth.

An atheist regards magick or technology, that is the means to achieve results, as truth.

In other words according to atheism God and nature are one and the same.

BenevolentM -> RE: Benevolent's Taxonomy of Atheism (3/18/2012 2:00:20 PM)
This implies that those who worship nature are atheists though their worship involves magick.

BenevolentM -> RE: Benevolent's Taxonomy of Atheism (3/18/2012 2:05:19 PM)
As peculiar as this may seem to the faithful, faith in God is an unnatural act. God resides outside of the natural universe. He is the Creator, not the created.

BenevolentM -> RE: Benevolent's Taxonomy of Atheism (3/18/2012 2:16:00 PM)
God is not constrained by natural law. Natural law is what we are familar with, however.

BenevolentM -> RE: Benevolent's Taxonomy of Atheism (3/18/2012 2:33:51 PM)
Those who worship nature can adhere to a weak form of non-atheism, however, via the acknowledgement of a Creator. Hence, nature worship is not atheism in a strict sense. White men who have embraced nature worship are generally speaking atheists in a strict sense.

quote: ORIGINAL: BenevolentM I kind of had respect for professed atheists. I thought they were intellectuals who sought objective truth, but what I find are people who want to believe something only because it is agreeable to them. It is better to have an inconvenient faith that is true, than one that is convenient and false. Falsehood takes you straight to perdition. I think it's better to learn about inconvenient knowledge rather than deny it and embrace convenient falsehoods. And here's the real kicker once things like biology, geology, astronomy logic, secular morality, etc. are actually comprehended it turns out that they aren't at all inconvenient. They actually work better and make way more sense than their superstitious counterparts.

What you are talking about is known as magick. The process in which we evaluate whether a thing is good or evil has little to do with the means to do it.

Technology magnifies the wickedness of man. When the white man parts with the Creator altogether he becomes Satan.

Technology is also the only tool that will help us escape our dying planet one day and your followers can spread the word of God into eternity. I wonder what ET would say about Jesus???

What you are talking about is known as magick. No...no it's not, no one else knows that. When you use the word magick to represent things like logic the rest of us often aren't able to understand what you're talking about and your posts end up sounding like mental illness. I strongly advise you not to use personal redefinitions of words. It seriously breaks the process of communication and renders it impossible for you to get your point across. quote: ORIGINAL: BenevolentM The process in which we evaluate whether a thing is good or evil has little to do with the means to do it. Decoupling morality from reality is one of the reasons why Christian morality was historically and is out of whack with reality and why so many Christians have resorted to using secular humanism as their source of morality.

"If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit" - an all too common form of "enlightenment" I'm afraid.

Decoupling morality from reality is one of the reasons why Christian morality was historically and is out of whack with reality ... . You should be in my opinion disciplined by the forum administration (Losers tend to get aggressive), but to address some of your points. Personal redefinition of words? Google magick. Magick is either technology or it is a term to describe a more general concept. What you offered is opinion. My views are plausible when you consider the possibility that we exist in a multiverse. No one has ever been able to disprove the existence of the metaphysical. It is an on going debate. My views are based on ideas that are ancient which implies that they are indeed consistent with common sense.
