Subject: Re: Arguments for and against the Existence of God Author: Bystander [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 02:37:39 04/17/05 Sun In reply to: Liberal 's message, "Arguments for and against the Existence of God" on 01:19:38 04/17/05 Sun Again, this may be true to the people sitting near the middle of the spectrum (e.g. agnostics). As you said before, some people find the evidence to be on their side and assent to the belief in the non-existence / existence of God. If they find the evidence to be such that they can make this decision, the choice is no longer arbitrary, but it is backed up by what is perceived to be good evidence within a system of belief. To them, the balance of evidence is tipped one way. You are seeing the choice to be arbitrary because you are sitting within your own system of belief that tells you the evidence is equal on both sides. >pespmc1.vub.ac.be/GODEXIST.html > >This one illustrates that both sides have equally >strong arguments. So to choose to believe in the >existence of God or not is an Arbitrary Choice because >both are equally good choices. > >Don't forget that the traditional Christian attributes >of God are incoherent with the reality of evil.
