mircea_popescu: i guess that's what emo foxy chicks do ?
benkay: i've seen burner chicks with better hair at day 12 on the playa
benkay: mircea_popescu: i'd rather talk about lasers and encryption and rockets and titties
danielpbarron: evil is the opposite of good
cmyers: I never claimed to be =)
mircea_popescu: cmyers either that or you're not a perfectly good worker :D
mircea_popescu: benkay i claim dibs on having produced the event.

danielpbarron: He's an all powerful God; if He didn't cause evil (and evil exists) then He is not all powerful
benkay: what are the odds.
benkay: an atheist and a bible thumper show up in assets the same day
the20year2: That's not where i"m going cmyers, I rather am saying the answer to your question is there
danielpbarron: so it is a misunderstanding to ask why God "allows evil" --- He CAUSES IT
cmyers: so god exists because the bible explains it all, and the bible explains it all because god exists. awesome.
mircea_popescu: my lash, and not my slave's butt, is the measuring stick of good.
the20year2: Dpeends on if you believe or understand the biblical roots of sin and mankind. If you understand those it answers the question cmyers
mircea_popescu: it unites the epicurean with the cheeky children of today, all presuming they are a measuring stick for good.
mircea_popescu: cmyers " If he is able, but not willing, he is not perfectly good. " << that's weak.
cmyers: there is evil in the world. If god is willing to stop it, but unable, he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, he is not perfectly good. IF he is neither, why call him god? If he is both, then whence commeth evil?
mircea_popescu: mike_c proper blowjob is one on the balls the other on the head.

the20year2: Thus why i said traditional theological classes
mike_c: lilith and eve were in the garden at the same time? sucks for adam.
cmyers: danielpbarron: I wonder what your answer to the epicurian dilemma is?
mike_c: who else was talking at the time?
mircea_popescu: the "who told you" question is indeed old.
danielpbarron: maybe Satan did say that, we don't know
mircea_popescu: this is actually true.
danielpbarron: to suggest otherwise would be to add to the Word
danielpbarron: the Bible does not say that Satan told Adam he was naked
mircea_popescu: actually if a rule was made that discussing the bible in any other language is heresy and lake-of-fire it'd be so much better.
the20year2: From the traditional theological classes I've taken the 'who that was' was satan
danielpbarron: we shouldn't speculate regarding the Bible
mike_c: no discussing the bible?
mircea_popescu: why are you buying bitcoin then ?
mike_c: "And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?" << well who do you think it was?
benkay: musta not made the nicean cut
the20year2: Lillith essentially comes from traditional jewish oral history
danielpbarron: regarding the Bible that is
mircea_popescu: but merely follows the spaces thatr were already there.

mircea_popescu: mike_c i hope you're taking notes :D
truffles: lilith oh thats in True Blood

danielpbarron: the story of lilith contradicts the rest of the Bible
mircea_popescu: how do you know this ?
danielpbarron: that is not part of the Bible
mircea_popescu: including the lilith story ?
danielpbarron: there are no non-essentials; the whole Bible is essential
danielpbarron: yeah, you don't need to understand the Bible, you just need to believe it
danielpbarron: truffles: that doesn't mean he won't be destroyed forever by God in the lake of fire
mircea_popescu: he didn;'t claim to understand it, after all.
mike_c: danielpbarron: that is impossible as much of it is contradictory.
danielpbarron: the only other individuals i've met that believe the entire Bible live in a different state
mircea_popescu: how's keisercoin doing these days ?
mircea_popescu: "But compare and contrast (by which I mean meditate upon) the alt coin with max keiser’s alt coin and you’ll perhaps… you’ll come to something."

mircea_popescu: so now they read... everything else.
mircea_popescu: cmyers because i have fifty million people employed who no longer read the forum.
danielpbarron: a millitant Christian wields the sword of Truth which is the Gospel
truffles: they can be religious only in name though
cmyers: but remember, a "millitant atheist" uses a pen and a keyboard. what does a "millitant christian" or "millitant muslim" use? The words are all out of whack.
BCB: Bitcoin's Boosters Struggle to Shore Up Confidence: http://goo.gl/uyVOFg (WSJ)
cmyers: truffles: I agree, there is much derp on #atheism and /r/atheism and you will find some there
truffles: at least the ones that self select to those places i have bad experience
cmyers: the literal meaning of atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods. that's it.
danielpbarron: abortionists deserve to be executed
cmyers: some atheists are certain, but that is not what atheism means
truffles: its very rare to find a reasonable one though

truffles: i cant with the atheists, theyre very certain of things
truffles: i dont consider myself a troll

Apocalyptic: hard to tell
cmyers: truffles: wait, which of those are you?
truffles: here lies why id prefer discussions with a troll than a "knowlegeable" person cuz at least the troll knows he's trolling
cmyers: danielpbarron: if that is true, then god caused me to disbelieve.
danielpbarron: it is not man's role to choose to believe; God causes belief and disbelief
cmyers: if you believe there is a god, but aren't certain, then you are an agnostic theist
cmyers: you can be gnostic or agnostic, theist or athiest

danielpbarron: cmyers: the Jesus Christ of the Bible
truffles: well then ure agnostic imo
