Hello Amos, I need to skip down in your post to begin. You have misinterpreted the symbolism of your quotations, so I'll show you what it really means.

Even more fundamental is the concept of Time which the church denies with all of it's ability, the concept that the phenomenon of the mind being capable of change instead of static is a hateful truth to them so they do what they can to minimize trinity in favor of duality. The church tries to convince us that the position is one of inevitable perpetual check, there is no way out and the position has nowhere to go so the meaning of time and change is merely academic (The three components of the trinity being equivalent to a perpetual check which allows only three positions thus making the concepts of time and change academic and enforcing conservativism and opposition to change).

You cannot have an entire mind if you only will acknowledge two aspects of mind and ignore the third (and ignore time). The problem is that with a full mind the christian cannot be convinced that God exists so it is needed to turn off one third and ignore time (progress and change) to keep this belief. Quote:

Now that there are only kings and pawns on the board, with perhaps one other piece also, space is basically there for the taking and time is not nearly as relevant as it once was. This means that now that we are out of the dark ages, we can dispose of superfluous imaginary beings and increase our real progress in the meantime. I'm surprised you didn't notice this, Amos.

Hi there Bible Humper, I think you play chess a lot. Maybe too much for you own good.

I'm wary of assuming that I have stumped all of the theists here at II, but if none of you will answer my post, I'm going to feel justified boasting exactly that!
Will nobody refute my argument? |

Maybe they think that the smithers are too small.

BH:
When the questions get really tough, the theists tend to bug out for a while. I suspect that it is just because they have no answer, but it often does look like it's in hope that people forget the question was ever posed. |

Hello K,

Hello Amos, By saying that "perhaps they think the smithers(smithereens) are too small" it appears that you are saying that, thanks to this thread, the theistic argument has been annihilated!! [ October 10, 2002: Message edited by: Bible Humper ]</p> |

Furthermore, how does Free Will explain cancer, earthquakes, volcanoes, meteorite strikes and all the other natural evils that don't seem to involve any kind of human choice.
