You can’t prove anything through just logic, for example, you couldn’t prove NYC to me without appealing to authority, showing me pictures, or taking me there

Honestly here is what undermines atheism and nihlism, if the world is meaningless, we would never come to realize that it is meaningless, just as someone who is blind cannot see that he is in a dark room, or as a fish does not feel wet

You first asserted that if the universe were meaningless, we would never come to realise it is meaningless. Then you gave a completely unrelated example to justify your assertion

161 actually it is not completely unrelated when you think about it

I noticed #160 on my way out of the forums. I have never claimed that you can prove things using logic, nor does it have any relevance to the topic at hand. For the sake of argument, mathematically, logic can prove things.

#161 yes it is.

No abstract logic or math could prove NYC though

It's absurd how God sacrificed his child (jesus) to save us from God himself

Think about it, if you are meaningless, then, in order to know that you are meaningless you need to understand meaning, which you can’t in a meaningless universe

170 not saving us from him, from the rightful judgement he would have given us for our actions

170 that is because of justice, we became his enemies, it was a price that HAD to be paid, but being merciful he paid it for us, which makes sense when you think about it, just as someone will help someone else pay a debt

Correct, To label the universe meaningless we need to understand meaning, which we shouldn't be able to do in a meaningless universe.

But, by meaningless universe we mean the universe as a whole doesn't have a purpose, we don't mean that a concept like "meaning" can't exist in the universe.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

He wanted to give free will, without free will life would be very boring, we could not choose evil, but we also could not choose love.

Amigo, according to my church, my God is able to prevent evil, but wanted to give us a choice.

178 that’s why free will exists.
what’s the point if we’re just made to be perfect all the time
