How cute is that?!<BR/><BR/>I think you hit the nail on the head when it comes to explaining the main motivation from Christians. They are really uncomfortable with uncertainty. <BR/><BR/>Which makes me wonder: how many Christian quantum physicists are there?<BR/><BR/>The pastor also makes another fatal mistake: the idea that any 'valid' world view <I>must</I> be omniscient. There is no room for doubt for him. There is no room for the unknown.<BR/><BR/>How fucking BORING is that!Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13666102861045517530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-50973391319473644712008-05-27T04:30:00.000-07:002008-05-27T04:30:00.000-07:00Just a quick round of idle pulling apart of one of...Just a quick round of idle pulling apart of one of the easier bits:<BR/><BR/><I>If someone says he doesn't believe in absolutes, simply ask him if it would be okay for you to take a key and run it down the side of his car? He will no doubt say "no" and therefore express a belief in absolutes as far as he is concerned.</I><BR/><BR/>It's not an absolute. You propose to hurt me by damaging my property. The universe hurts me on a regular basis but I take what steps I can to avoid that. If you have the inclination to hurt me, I certainly have an equal "right" to hurt you back. Given that situation, I have joined with other people in a pact whereby we mutually agree that, (within certain limits) if someone hurts me, we will all gang up to hurt that someone. We call our group "society" and our pact "the law." Scratch my car and I'll call the cops and get your sorry ass thrown in jail. Hopefully, the mere threat of that will cause you to refrain from doing doing harm to me. No appeal to higher authority needed. <BR/><BR/>If the Pastor is unsure that his own self interest in avoiding jail is sufficient incentive for him to avoid hurting others, he is free to posit an unearthly authority who will hurt him even more than society can ... though he might think about seeing a psychiatrist about his lack of impulse control while he is at it.John Pierethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336244849636477317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-18988116023530611052008-05-27T04:00:00.000-07:002008-05-27T04:00:00.000-07:00My hero!My hero!Dana Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890312745525306991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851578517872251953.post-36616628719775807302008-05-27T03:58:00.000-07:002008-05-27T03:58:00.000-07:00Pardon, just sharpening my fangs.
