In a podcast I listened to, a Christian maintained that God is required for scientific laws, and an atheist maintained that scientific laws are not as real as the Christian understood them to be. I disagree with them both, and here I explain why God is not required for the existence of scientific laws.
Do you need to be omniscient to know that God doesn’t exist? Not if God is supposed to be omniscient. If God is omniscient, as many philosophers, theologians, and apologists have claimed, all you need to know is that omniscience is impossible.
Four different arguments for the existence of God claim that God is required to account for objective moral right and wrong, evil, value, and the meaning of life. This post critically examines all four claims.
This post and video go over the solutions to the proofs assigned as homework in the Proofs with the Rules of Inference post and video.
This post and video begin to explain how to do proofs in symbolic logic using the rules of inference. At the end, it includes some proofs to try on your own.
This post and the video inside introduce material equivalence, which is the property of having the same truth value, in symbolic logic, as well as the rules of replacement, which let you replace some logical expressions with materially equivalent logical expressions.
A Christian Youtuber has made eight arguments for the existence of God. He thinks that if even one works, that will be sufficient to prove God. But none work, as I explain here. Note that I have written subsequent posts in which I have considered some of these arguments in greater depth.
Here are two long videos on the seven deadly sins: wrath, pride, envy, avarice, gluttony, lust, and sloth. Whether or not these are sins against God, they are moral vices that can ruin lives. The first video introduces them, and the second analyzes them as vices of excess or deficiency.
How would you improve on the ten commandments? What would you change, take away, or add? Here is my own attempt at improving the ten commandments. I have modified the first ten, sometimes substantially, and I have added six more for what I’m calling a Humanist Hexadecalogue.
Since Unitarian Universalism is listed as a cult in Kingdom of the Cults, I made a video going along with this idea. This post clarifies that it is not one.
