>Plato already 'solved' everything from a Philosophic point of view.
Have you read the Parmenides? Also, why did Plato's academy become a skeptic school? Makes you wonder
theists are no different than kids arguing about goku vs superman. most useless homosexual shit. i hate you low iq Black folk so much its unreal. get a real hobby
Not trying to latch onto anything lol. It's a you problem that you consider the sophistry of "theoretical physics" to be of any value at all except as a way to stroke some itch

So they aren't opting out of "real life competition"? You are not very smart. Also, does the belief that science or physicalism is the one true path and tbat one should always refer to scientists in all matters fall under tales to lord over people? Why do you also think that "lording over people" is bad? Are you a libertarian or something?

no, you're assuming too much. do i have to rewind through every one of these? frick no.
some people work for things in life. there's also an openness to change, a practical goal and an emphasis of evidence. all things peaching theists lack.
some people are fricking animals who still find a way to look down on others, even if it's not based on reality and is contradicting another billion or so peoples beliefs.
mind you, im pooling (you) in with any muslim or hindu. because why should you assume any moral superiority?

liberals believe in the existence of black people who don't steal, but they won't believe in their own creator

Ok I'm pretending I'm a Muslim. I enjoy contemplating the oneness of Allah, which you say is "useless homosexual shit". So tell me: what would actually be useful, and what is the criteria for determining usefulness?

before we do that, imagine that a 1/3rd of all threads (some days) on IQfy are now about muslim shit. these guys are shitting on philosophers, authors, etc. that oppose/contradict their funny views.
meanwhile there's a /mus/ board, yea? and i'm in here to talk about books and there are like 100 muslims shitting up every thread. yea? that's you.
again, regarding the OP: >which philosopher...
instantly, IQfy thread >argument for god's existence
again, doubled up on IQfy topics
sorry, back to what you were asking:
it's just my opinion, man. that's why i chimed in to begin with. and im trying to have you see it through my eyes. hence goku vs superman debate. how is this something worth spending your time on? it's not that to you, and that's cool. but see my above issue with the posts

philosophical proofs of God are unnecessary. Jesus Christ undeniably fulfilled Old Testament prophecies. you can either write it off as an incredibly large and improbable number of coincidences, or you can admit that the Bible contains the absolute truth.
St. Thomas Aquinas with the advantage of a good millennium of the West's greatest minds to draw from produced to date the strongest arguments for God's existence. While not the easiest to comprehend, these arguments all start from some fact about reality to the conditions that immediately follow which show God as necessary, hence, unlike the worthless word games of a rationalist such as Decartes, their conclusions are grounded in empirical observation about reality in terms of metaphysical insight. They are not going to convince he who refuses to be convinced, but they are irrefutable and show why belief in the Almighty God is not only perfectly rational but absolutely necessary given the full weight of reality.
probably moses because he talked to him you fricking moron
But was Moses a philosopher?
>Diomedes talked to Apollo therefore Apollo exists
>it's possible to talk to things that don't exist
moron
Yes it is. But that wasn't his claim you braindead israelite worshipper.
so does a random tinfoil schizo from texas claim every single day too. whats your point?
Me.
Noone.
Plato. Plato already 'solved' everything from a Philosophic point of view. Everyone after is just a lesser version of Plato.

Arguments from intuition are all the rage now.

It's no different from physicists arguing about which theory best "explains" the universe.
of course a theist Black person would try to hack out all nuance in an attempt to latch onto their betters.
i wish we had an iq requirement

Had to scroll WAY too low for this post
Based king. Dr. Johnson was wrong about Berkley.
baruch spinoza
Descartes used the same argument as Anselm.
What is "God"?
Look here:
St. Augustine, unironically.
Plotinus
I'm seeing a lot of answers but no justifications or reasons to support them
Welcome to theology.
and for what it's worth, faith is cool. community is great. sure.
making it your duty to be right about this shit is disgusting. (re: OP)
Not him, that's for sure.

>"God does not exist" said God
Pascal
If I were God, I would only sentence to infinite hell people who only believed in me and behaved well because of Pascal
Makes you a moron
philosophical proofs of God are unnecessary. Jesus Christ undeniably fulfilled Old Testament prophecies. you can either write it off as an incredibly large and improbable number of coincidences, or you can admit that the Bible contains the absolute truth.
Anybody can fulfill prophecies if they are recorded after the fact. You just change the prediction to match what happened.
Define god
This is the thing. People who ask this question need to do that before they do anything else, yet rarely do they do so.

Spinoza was a acosmist. Nothing to do with what we call God.
