How do you resolve this contradiction ?
It seems to me that a great many people who are totally against abortion have no problem in supporting illegal wars, such as the US/UK etc invasion of Iraq,[ where more than 100,000 innocent people have been killed to date] while a great many people who are anti-war are pro-abortion. How do you explain this apparent contradiction?
Answer: I am anti-war, pro-choice, and anti-death penalty.
Others are pro-war, anti-choice, and pro-death penalty.
I've given this question a lot of deep thought over the years, and here's what I think resolves the contradiction:
People who are in my camp do not believe in killing. Our pro-choice stance is based on the premise that the fetus is a POTENTIAL human being, whereas our anti-war/anti-death penalty is based on the premise that these are human beings already here.
People in the other camp believe in the killing of human beings who are already here, but are against a woman's right to choose whether she wants the POTENTIAL life to continue.
Hope this helps!

Contradiction?
Why is it that when (mostly teenaged girls) ask for outfits on here, theyll say "Im really preppy and I shop at Abercrombie, Hollister, and American Eagle"?
Thats a complete contradiction. "Preppy" is Ralph Lauren, Lilly Pulitzer, and understated pieces that never go out of style, unlike flavor-of-the moment clothes from Hollister.
Are young girls being seriously misguided into thinking preppy means big sunglasses and tiny skirts?

How do we know anything follows from a contradiction since we must assume the impossible?
Its commonly said anything follows from a contradiction, a principle known as the "Principle of Explosion." But how can we know this, if in order to prove it, we must from the start assume a contradiction, which is impossible because a contradiction can NEVER be true?
Answer: you should frame the discussion as one which takes place is a possible world.
an admittedly odd one.
However some theologians argue that this could happen in our reality because God can "square the circle"

Atheists, is the law of contradiction a good argument to use in a religious debate?
Recently came across the law of contradiction in a philosophy book which stated that either something is true or not true. To me this makes sense.
In your opinion would this be a good argument to use while debating against theists?
Answer: This law is similar to the law of excluded middle, although the differences are too subtle for my small brain to fully grasp. But I doubt you can apply either to religion. Religion is impervious to logic.

Whats the logical contradiction between creating a sinless world and creating a world with free will?
If God is all-powerful, then he has the power to do anything that is logically possible. What is the contradiction between creating a sinless world and creating a world with free will?
And if there is no contradiction, why didnt he do it? Why create a world filled with evil and people who are going to end up in hell forever if he could have easily avoided that? Sounds pretty stupid.
Answer: that is logically possible.

Is there anything that defies the principal of non contradiction?
the law of non-contradiction says that no thing can be and not be in the same way at the same time. Is there any time where that is not true?
Answer: The law of non-contradiction, also called, by Aristotle, the law of contradiction, is "correspondence theory" logic. Using that theory, it's true that no thing can be a contradiction. We use this theory in all of our everyday, minute by minute thinking.
But there are other theories of "truth logic" that do not seek "correspondence" between knowledge and what is actual.
So it is really comparing apples to oranges. I don't understand the other theories much; I am too engaged in reality. But suffice it to say that in Aristotle's correspondence theory, there can be no contradiction. "Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, often described as a paradox", (Wikipedia) and as you know a paradox must be solved to be found true or false. Once it is found to be one or the other the paradox, the contradiction, is gone.

How do muslim apologists resolve this apparent contradiction?
On the one hand, muslim apologists say that God is almighty, omniscient, eternal --- in short, God can do anything. On the other hand, muslim apologists say that God cannot have a Son, because Hes a spirit and thus He has no body, and beings without a body cannot have a Son. If muslim apologists say that God CANNOT (different from "will not") have a Son, thats the same thing as saying that God has limitations and thus is not really almighty. How do they resolve that contradiction?
Answer: Good question - interested to see the Muslim response - if any.
Almighty perhaps only insofar as what he could do for Mohammed and his personal desires it seems.
Edit: The answerer below me seems to be saying 'because God says so in his book' ....so I guess that's the end of the matter lol.

How does Hindu Monotheism maintain without a contradiction both that the world has always existed?
How does Hindu Monotheism maintain without a contradiction both that the world has always existed, and that the world is God’s creation?
Please help me, thank you
Answer: A correction:
The "Creation" of worlds will come and go - it is "maya". However, it is the "SUBSTANCE" that is ever present and always existed. It is Substance that is the basis of all form, of all worlds, of all that is seen and unseen. There are many terms one can use to describe the substance such as the Bible tells us, "We live and move and have our being in Him, and "Him" is a sea of consciousness, or Universal Mind. I suppose in our modern day we can refer to the String Theory to help describe the universal consciousness out of which form takes place.
Now, the mind of man is incapable of grasping the whole of God. We can create an image in our mind about God and say that is Him, or IT, but that is just an image in the mind. So, in order to come closer to the Divine Presence we need to "go within" to find the presence of God within us. It is called "self realization."

Answer: Really? That is your example, the one you want to hang your muslim hat on? And you wonder why people think you are a violent and self-justifying religion.

Why do Muslims insist that there is no contradiction in Islamism?
I am non-religious (grew up in a mixed religion family) but I like to objectively investigate and understand various religions.
So, I just finished reading the Koran with an Islamic guide book and I found it as conflicting as the bible, perhaps more. Why do Muslims insist that there is no contradiction in Islam and that you will find the answer to any possible doubt?
Answer: Muslims insist there is no contradiction, just as Christians believe there is no contradiction to the love thy neigbor as thy brother and the enslavement of man references. Just as Jews believe there is no contradiction between King Solomon having multiple wives and the commandment: "You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife [singular]". Think about Galileo, and how he discovered that the Earth revolves around the sun, and yet the church REFUSED to accept that truth and had him tortured by the Inquisition. Why is it that slaveholders could use the Bible to justify slavery, while slaves could use it to justify their equality? Why is it that Muhammad created a peaceful society where ALL people could trade and coexist, and yet radical Muslims use his word to justify killing people who are different?
You are not a true believer in anything unless you are 100% devoted to it. The truths around you must turn to lies because "passage 11:21 of the bible says _________" Religion is believing in the supernatural to such an extent that everything surrounding you has supernatural ties.
So how can the thing that they sacrifice their own sense of logic for be contradictory? You crush a person if you disprove what they believe life is all about. They lose their sense of purpose and identity.

How do you prove a biconditional statement using the contradiction method?
I have to prove the following by method of contradiction:
Let p and q be positive integers with p
Answer: a) The solution seems mysterious, until it smacks you in the face like a giant smacking thing (yes, I _do_ need to work on my analogies). Suppose (q-p) | (p-1). Then ∃k∈Z such that k(q-p) = p-1. Adding q-p to both sides yields (k+1)(q-p) = q-1, so (q-p) | (q-1). Conversely, (q-p) | q-1 ⇒ ∃k∈Z s.t. k(q-p) = q-1 ⇒ ∃k∈Z s.t. (k-1)(q-p) = p-1 ⇒ (q-p) | (p-1).
b) Suppose d|(p-1) and d|(q-1). Then ∃k₁, k₂ s.t. k₁d = p-1 and k₂d = q-1, so (k₂ - k₁)d = (q-1) - (p-1) = q-p, so d|(q-p).

Not does it exist but is it a logical contradiction to say that there is something that is not perceivable by the mind and that still exists?
Answer: There are countless things our technology still has not discovered, that doubtlessly exists. To agree with your line of think would be to say that the human mind is the ultimate technology or perceptive device - and this has not been proven, nor do I consider it true.
