Does God Lie 2?
@faisalharoon Am I still misunderstanding a fundamental point of your argument?
I think that it’s the perspective, not a fundamental point. Consider it from a different angle. God is who created me. He lying to me makes no sense whatsoever. If He wanted me to act in a certain way He could have easily crafted my perception to His will. If I write a computer program, I could feed it false data for it to act in a certain way. But if I did that I would be a very lethargic programmer. An efficient programmer would write the program such that he wouldn’t have to manually massage the data before feeding it to his program. The program would do it for him.
If it works for you that’s great. Personally, I would not take the discussion with any atheist this deep until they can explain their own argument without contradicting themselves.
What do you believe in? Evidence or speculations? I am sorry, but this line of reasoning that our human faculties cannot lead us to any kind of truth or certain knowledge at all is nothing but mere fantasies of philosophers who had nothing valuable to say. It has no meaning whatsoever!! Just think about it what does it even mean. If we cannot know anything to be true or real, what is your evidence for that?
I’m assuming a giver of my ‘self’ here because of other reasons. I guess their existence wouldn’t be necessary. But still you haven’t proven to me that the world didn’t start five minutes ago 😅
So, all this while, you are assuming, guessing and speculating, while asking me to prove! Very nice! 😂
