Your thread asserting that historical superstitious religious lunacy was proof of spiritual reality was refuted a long time ago, by just about everyone.
Get over it.
So now you've simply decided to lie about my argument and claim I have made the opposite argument? I never claimed human spirituality was manifested by irrational superstitious religious beliefs, I claimed the opposite. That 'irrational superstitious religious beliefs' were manifested by human spirituality..
And what is human spirituality exactly? You claim it is the need to connect to something greater than themselves which I have shown is not anything more deep or mysterious than pack animal behavior. And what do you offer as evidence of human spirituality? Irrational and superstitious beliefs and practices many of which are hardly indistinguishable from mental illness.
...are proof of spiritual reality whatever that is... .
Again, I have corrected you once on this already.... Never did I claim there was PROOF of anything. I made a "sound argument" for something, that does not mean or indicate I proved it. Sound arguments can be made for any number of things it doesn't mean they are proven. Proof of a spiritual entity can only happen if you accept spiritual evidence, which you don't. So there is no way to "prove" anything to you. I keep on telling you this and you just keep coming back claiming I have claimed to have "proven" something to you. Get it through that thick head, I can't "prove" anything to you, your mind is made up about spiritual evidence. ..
Stop with the bullshit already. You made a so called sound argument by which you think that you have proven something, if one accepts your 'spiritual evidence' (whatever that is).
isn't simply just a function of the mind struggling to make sense of what is beyond its understanding...
And I've demonstrated how that can't possibly be the case unless it defies everything theorized by Darwin's Natural Selection. If the human species was so weak that it needed to "struggle to make sense" of something, the other upper primates would have eliminated humans long ago. Survival of the fittest. The species with the least hindrance to development always wins. We see no evidence of any of the other upper primates "struggling to make sense" of something, they don't seem to be aware of anything else but physical existence. ..
Again, stop with the bullshit already. Darwin and survival of the fittest has nothing whatever to do with anything that you have claimed about human superstitions. And what weakness do you perceive in the human quest to comprehend? What strength do you perceive in primates lack of intellectual development?
Obviously you realize how absurd what you claim is so you drag, Einstein, Darwin, newton into the argument in a pathetic appeal to authority, to try to make it seem like they agree with your silliness. Perhaps you should be so weak as to struggle to make sense.

Whenever the topic of God comes up or someone asks you to define God you say you have no such belief..
I have never said I didn't believe in God. Again, you lie. Why are you lying so much about things I've said? It's not like people can't search out the truth and see that you are lying. I've said numerous times, my personal belief in God doesn't conform to any mainstream religious dogma. I believe in God because I know God exists, I don't have faith, I don't need faith. I talk to God daily, and God is with me daily. So I have no need to prove God to myself. I'm merely responding to a question asked about any "sound argument" for God's existence. I think I've made one, and you've failed to refute it. That first prompted you to tell me I wasn't ever going to be a great thinker. Now you've resorted to outright lying about things I've argued and dreaming up past thread posts that never happened. You really are a sad clown.
I once directly asked you to define God to which you responded that you have no belief in any traditional view of God and left it at that. So now I took another look and see that you have a belief in God as some sort of cosmic energy that you talk to on a daily basis......
I hate to break the news to you, but you haven't made a sound argument. You have made unsubstantiated claims and have attempted and failed to lend credibility to your own delusional fantasies by claiming that human spirituality defined by you as a need to connect to something greater than self, which I have shown is simply a function of the mind shared by many species, would have died out long ago if it was not indicative of any reality essential to survival.
Yeah I said you will never be a great thinker because you lack the fundamental discipline of humility and honesty foundational to life and comprehension.
You say I am an intellectual coward, outright liar, and sad clown.
Great debating skills you have there.....
