Talk:Argument from nonbelief
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Real word?
I couldn't find "omnibenevolent" in Wiktionary or Dictionary.com. While it's definition is pretty self-evident, is it actually a real word? --LtNOWIS 02:44, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Yes. --Maru 16:50, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, it's very common in philosophical texts. Dylan 00:23, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] So what's the difference from nonbelief to evil?
What is the difference between the problem of evil and Argument from nonbelief? It seems to be the same from a different point of view and therefore easily unifyable: You just equal "not believing" with "not obeying or ignoring gods moral amendments" and nonbelief equals imoral and evil. Common practice in religion. "You're either good or bad, go to heaven or hell, belief in this god or don't, are with us/god or against us/god." Religion seems intollerant to neutrality and calls evrything "is not good" autimatically "is evil", therefore "nonbelief" equals "evil" and both arguments are unified.
Any dogma here?
