Is that how you interpreted my post? I think you need to re-read it, this time with your monitor turned on...
Deistic Gods aren't necessarily omnipresent though I defined mine as being so.
You said you believed in God. That's enough.
You must have missed my whole OP...
This question makes no sense. If I'm only a "thinking being" then I as a whole am that being not a portion of it.
None of which has evidence to back up? Try again?
The dictionary disagrees.
When I say "Conscious being" I mean our consciousness is all we're aware of. The Cartesian self. Anything other than that either exists outside of ourselves or inside. I've shown how if we're only "thinking beings" then it can't exist inside therefore our perceptions are coming from outside of ourselves.
Example?
Huh?
If we're our physical selves then any experiences we have come(or are based on) from the outside world through our senses. You've yet to give an example otherwise.
Because our unconsciousness controlling our consciousness would mix together resulting in a non-thinking thing.
You are making no sense. When you graduate junior high school, come back and we'll talk junior.
Our unconsciousness DOES control our consciousness, nitwit. All the scientific evidence has demonstrated this quite clearly. EVERY conscious thought or action is preceeded by unconsious mental activity.
Thus, you're wrong.
And show me where I said I believe in God. Further, show me where you've shown evidence for believing in the Bible, in being an evangelical Christian, etc.
And, no, a proof is not evidence. Nor is evidence proof. Otherwise, I could prove that dragons and faeries exist, and are far more powerful than the Christian God.
But all of this is clearly lost on you. You still think your conscious self is somehow primary to your being. Welcome to the real world, Dustin - your conscious awareness is an afterthought, and not much more than that.
From all the evidence, that which is 'you' is a small portion of that which is your biological self. Your conscious awareness is part of the brain which reflects on things that have happened, rather than deciding what things should happen. Decisions occur on the unconscious level and are reported to the conscious mind. Movements are originated in non-conscious areas and reported to the conscious mind.
The evidence is pretty damning for your point of view, Dusty.
However, none of this matters. You believe in Christianity, so your only hope of killing the monster of guilt you're feeling now is to try to rationalize it after the fact and come up with some logical gymnastics to justify your faith.
You're pretty sad. As a skeptic, you're clearly a failure, since your attempts at rationalizing faith have more fallacies and logical holes than the Bible itself, pound-for-pound. And as a believer, you're clearly a failure, since you simply can't accept faith alone, and must try to justify your faith.
Pathetic.
When you get an education, please return here and perhaps we can continue our discussion. Until then, I don't feel like wasting my time on the pseudo-philosophical rationalizations of a brainwashing victim.
Oh, and one more thing: Eschew obfuscation. This, most of all, you need to learn.
