SquiggyIggy ::: Favorites I am doing a speech today in my spoken comm 1101 class on censorship/banning books.. so.. I enjoyed this alot 07-04-25 13:03:47 _____________________________________________________
cmprewitt ::: Favorites I agree with your definition of the word faith: believing in something without proof. However, I think that it is possible to have faith in another person's ability. In your example there are a lot of reasons why you might trust the pilot (statistics and other evidence) but you cannot prove that that pilot will safely get you where you need to go (because it hasn't happened yet). Therefore, you have faith in his ability (you believe without proof). 07-03-26 18:13:18 _____________________________________________________
flyboy30 ::: Favorites cmprewitt: I disagree with your assertion - reasonably expecting a pilot will get you to your destination is patently not belief without proof - unless you want to say that you have faith in an apple's 'ability' to taste like an apple which can only be confirmed by eating it - if that is you assertion then you believe in nothing until it's done - no one can live like that. 07-04-07 12:24:18 _____________________________________________________
cmprewitt ::: Favorites flyboy30: I would agree that believing in nothing until it's done is a very undesirable way to live, that is why faith is an important part of life. This discussion is about semantics: the meaning of the word 'faith.' In g0at's video he defines faith as believing in something without proof. 07-04-07 18:54:23 _____________________________________________________
cmprewitt ::: Favorites Based on this definition doesn't one have to have faith in order to believe is something that is unprovable? Can you prove that an apple will taste a certain way before you eat it? Or that a pilot will successfully fly a plane? Maybe you would like to suggest a different definition of the word faith. 07-04-07 18:55:00 _____________________________________________________
g0at ::: Favorites One doesn't need faith. I would never make an absolute claim that the pilot wouldn't crash. THAT would require faith. But believing that you will be ok due to reasonable expectation doesn't require faith. I don't make absolute statements like that. Therefore I don't need faith. nobody can make absolute statements. Faith is a free pass. 07-04-07 21:24:08 _____________________________________________________

cmprewitt ::: Favorites ummm...g0at..."nobody can make absolute statements" is an absolute statement. 07-04-10 14:21:47 _____________________________________________________
g0at ::: Favorites yes, People can make any statement they want. But it is my opinion that no statement is absolute. Yes, self contradictory, whatever :0 07-04-13 14:55:31 _____________________________________________________
cmprewitt ::: Favorites ok, i understand. :) 07-04-13 21:06:34 _____________________________________________________
flyboy30 ::: Favorites I'm not sure this is purely semantics. If you are trying to say that atheists need faith in order to believe or posit that there is no, or it is most likely that there is no god - then no - you are wrong it takes no faith to state that - it is simply a deduction based on the absence of proof. To state that there is or most likely is a god in the absence of even the slightest real scientific proof takes enormous faith. 07-04-09 09:21:41 _____________________________________________________
cmprewitt ::: Favorites I understand what you guys are saying, but based on g0at's definition anything that is unprovable requires faith. Can you prove that the pilot will get there? Perhaps you are confusing evidence with proof. In another one of g0ats videos he states that no one can prove God's existence or prove God's non-existence. Based on g0at's definition of faith and g0at's statement about God, it has to be concluded that it requires faith to believe that God does not exist. 07-04-09 12:20:33 _____________________________________________________
Mjhavok ::: Favorites Pretty much agree with you on this one g0at. Words can mean different things but to many meanings and it becomes meaningless. You must define what you mean in a debate, conversation, argument or discussion. 07-03-24 16:19:46 _____________________________________________________
Riflemanm16a2 ::: Favorites Banning that book is rediculous, so was banning Mordeth13. Goud video. -- Did you just say goud? -- Yeah... (From Punch Drunk Love). 07-03-24 13:11:03 _____________________________________________________
lazerflesh ::: Favorites I'm still serious about the warning labels on the bible. 07-03-24 11:43:17 _____________________________________________________
Poonard ::: Favorites may cause you to de-evolve and loose your thumbs. in Tennessee they don't march for peace they march for their thumbs back you know. 07-04-13 06:34:17 _____________________________________________________
Coey87 ::: Favorites I like the new angle, and the video. That school and censorship altogether is asinine. Bibles have been banned from some public schools too. Just crazy. 07-03-24 10:22:33 _____________________________________________________
