and most of those people will never actually use it to make a payment because its a speculative bubble with very little in the way of practical use case

He knew this was going to happen when he created adam and eve. He could have created them in a way that they weren't vulnerable to demonic temptation. So he created a flaw in humans and knew that flaw was going to lead to the fall of man, and yet was still pleased with his creation? Also...

1. Naturalistic evolution does not require god, so it would be a coincidence if god were "directing" evolution 2. Humans are gravely flawed creatures. This makes sense under naturalistic evolution because natural selection works with whatever the environment gives it. If god created us, he...

Again, all of those reasons are consistent with what I'm saying, but none of them are evidence of conscious control of belief. First of all, everything related to cognition is fundamentally UNCONSCIOUS, not merely subconscious. We can consciously witness the products of unconscious...

Why would an infinitely powerful being need significant flawed creatures to feel good about himself? Why would something insignificant make him feel good? The burden of proof is on theists. If they claim that belief/disbelief in god in a moral choice, then belief needs to be under conscious...

No, I didn't say that. You're just straight up making shit up at this point. Being good at e-sports is a combination of strategy/decision-making and coordinated muscle contractions in the form of mouse/keyboard inputs to execute your decisions. It's not "the slightest more muscle...

Ironic considering its the basement dwelling chess players on here who are into e-sports That being said, although I've actually never played league of legends before in my life, e-sports could be considered categorically more sports-like than chess given that coordinated muscle contractions...

chess is not a sport

What does it even mean to say "I would not". My unconscious mind either finds what you're saying compelling or it does not. It's out of my control. I cannot choose to believe it is true. If you understand arithmetic, you cannot "choose" to believe 1 + 1 = 3 even if you wanted it to be true...

This is a meaningless statement. How does the existence of humans bring glory to god? By creating tiny, flawed, insignificant little creatures, this "brings glory" to an all powerful being? Really? And for whose benefit is the glory being brought? Does an all powerful god need to create...

This really doesn't prove what you seem to think it does. All it says is that oxygen is necessary but insufficient for the evolution of advanced life. This doesn't contradict any of what I'm arguing. It absolutely does NOT mean that some all-powerful deity was necessary. And to say god played...

Except the average is heterosexual. It's the opposite of what the typical person is. Of course it's "the norm" because that's how we've evolved. Men have penises for having sex with women and impregnating them. Okay, so? This literally describes any number of physical and mental disorders...

Yes dumb dumb, but we're talking about the situation of same sex marriage being legalised. You made a specific, positive claim. You didn't say 'there's no reason to think that LGTBQFDG people have different views than straight people". You said "their views aren't different". If...

Everyone had the same rights.

Except there already was equality under the law. Everyone had the right to marry somebody of the opposite sex, regardless of sexuality. What was actually done is an expansion of the definition of marriage to include different pairings. Okay, but why not? Why should same sex marriage be legal...
