By the way, would you like to check out my ‘What’s a Question?’ forum? (I think you would like it there)

@anyone

Here’s another thought for y’all. I already have my views on this, but I’m curious what any of you think. Why did God basically play a game of stop hitting yourself with pharaoh? If you need me to elaborate, just…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Good points again, but the whole thing with numbers, you’re starting at one. God didn’t start. He is outside of time, and by eternal, I mean we perceive Him to be. He exists outside of time, so in our eyes, he never began and never will end. It’s not that he’s inside of time, he is outside of it, which means He literally can’t beg…

@orangearmadillo @thearcaneaxiom @godlyfantasy12 @anyone else involved

Sorry, I haven’t been very active on here. But I have a question I’ve been pondering for some time and I would love y’all’s opinion on it.

I ave seen/heard of several studies and article about kids leaving the faith once their adults. I’ve heard various theories about it and…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

The reason God is exempt of being caused is that the only things that need a cause are things that began to exist, because eternal things logically could not have a cause.

Wwwelllllll…. yes and no depending on a whole lot of things. Something that is eternal could most defiantly have a cause. Can I clarify your definition of…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

I’m glad I can’t convince you😂 To still respond to your points though:

1. You play back the causality argument on the atheist, but they may say that there could still be something else. Yes, what caused, what caused, what caused, but saying “God” doesn’t remove that problem except to simply say it’s eternal and unknowable, which…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo awesome!

@thearcaneaxiom @orangearmadillo good points but we mustn’t forget God’s plan of salvation either!

Jesus said in John 3-5:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second tim…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo cool, cool! An apologetics website would be awesome!

@orangearmadillo

Hmm cool topic!

Though I personally haven’t ran across many people who have ya know, come at me about these things, I know others who have, or who have needed to share the Truth in the moment and it’s always good to know.

For us, it’s not usually wether God exists however, because here, where I live, everyone believes in Go…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Absolutely! As I said, there seems to be a lot of false evidence pushed, again, such as snapping an ape’s hip bone to look more like a human, therefore showing it’s early stage. I wouldn’t be so fast to shoot down some points though, such as bone structure, and genes, however it is greatly exaggerated, and again, can also point…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Very true! The point that the atheist would make though is that though they still have the same problem, as everyone does, that doesn’t mean that it must therefore be God, as it could be explained by natural processes. They use the term “god of gaps” for this. Saying that anything we can’t currently explain doesn’t automatically…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

I would love to hear whatever character you got (:

Alright I’m going to fill out this character template, and this is for my OC that I created for my new Marvel AU

1. What’s their name? 

Mary
 
2. What’s their role? (Sidekick, Main Character, Villain, etc)

Side (I guess XD)
 
3. Do they love anyone?

No
 
4. Do they have any…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Imma back!

Again, excellent points! I think I agree whole heartedly. Although, If God coexists with mathematics, is there a set of Axioms that defined His nature? This is more related to the other forum you created, but there’s still a whole lot to ponder in this regard. I think I must disagree that asking why Picasso didn’t…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo Erm, Da Vinci was the one who painted the Mona Lisa. LOL sorry about getting in on your conversation, I just wanted to point that out.

@Orangearmadillo You have some great answers to those questions!! Are you planning to work for/start an apologetics organization someday?

@smiley @mackenzie I’ve been to the Ark Encounter too! It was really fun.

@orangearmadillo

Fascinating point! Here I actually differ theologically concerning God being material, as I’m actually a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Regardless, the argument is interesting, however when you introduce the idea of a “concept”, you should probably define that a little more, because that’s really open…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

That sounds really cool! You made a forum for it right? I’ll have to check it out.

Exactly. However, you’ve still touched on something very interesting concerning the nature of math. The question of whether math was invented or discovered may seem obvious at first, and you and I can agree it is the latter, however, there is a…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Ok, so I love this forum! Though I would like to challenge your original argument for God at the beginning of the forum. A learned atheist would likely point out that you’ve used a causality argument, which they would either say “god of gaps” or if they want to think a little more, they will ask “Who caused God”. You may say He…[Read more]

@orangearmadillo

Interesting thought on hard worldbuilding. I prefer hard as well, but I don’t feel like that’s really a problem with soft worldbuilding if it’s done well. The problem with soft worldbuilding is when the writer gets lazy and lets the story contradict some aspect of worldbuilding established earlier. That might be what you…[Read more]
