My response to an atheistic opponent - Ostronomos - Aug 31, 2026
Quote:A personal image of truth that contradicts reality is just a false belief; not truth. I might have an image of truth that I can dunk a basketball due to the fact that I did it many times when I was younger. But the reality is due to my age, I can no longer do that.
Reality also possesses righteousness within it. Going by your own logic, righteousness is just as likely to result.
So to doubt something that has not been proven to your satisfaction is hallmark of delusional? Does this mean to not believe in Santa Clause is delusional if you doubt his existence?
I’m not familiar with Nakosis. What about him?
When you say “immaterial reality” are you talking about thoughts?
Allow me to deliver a healthy dose of reality to you: Santa Clause is a fictional character. God is real. Reality.
When man is unprotected (much like the deluded atheist), he will become prey to a type of logic that resides in reality.
Your nature is identical to the universe's syntactic structure.
The deluded atheist falls prey to self-deception (as stated above) based on a logic that is only an image of what they believe to be reality.
Any theory of everything worthy of the name must include MIND as an ingredient. This MIND is equivalent to reality.
The theory must be a perfect mapping between MIND and reality. And it must shed light on an omnipotent deity otherwise known as G.O.D (Global Operator Descriptor).
