The most important reason I'm xtian

[Jacob(smooth)]

Ask me a question about science, or medicine, I'll give you an analytical answer. Those are the areas where analytical is important, nay essential.

So far as a world view, individual morality, psychology and suchlike goes, I'm satisfied with functional. If analytical works well for you then give yourself a big hand . Woot for the more analytical than thou chas

Your weak attempt at sarcasm falls short. Clearly I am more analytical than you since I apply it consistently.

Carry on with your compartmentalization, cognitive dissonance, and delusion.

Well aren't we the sourpuss! I don't dispute that you are more analytical in the area of religion, I'm merely mocking you for the way you seem so proud of that. It's very much like the "holier than thou" attitude I see from christians. Interesting to see that that particular form of conceit is not limited to theists. If you every fancy converting you'll fit right in.

It's not a competition cupcake! But if it's important to you that you are more analytical than me I'll cheerfully concede the point.

And it's really sweet that you take the time to invite me to continue with my compartmentalization and Dissonance. Thanks, I will. As I said, it's working pretty well for me.

However, aside from the sniping, there is half of a valid point here. Mr Spock here speaks of being consistently analytical. How far is this a good thing? I mean clearly there are times when being analytical is appropriate (science, medicine etc), and times when it gets in the way (sex drugs and rock and roll).

Is being consistently analytical a good thing? Personally I'm not convinced. Might be a good thread that.

I've never met a really rational xtian.

It's an oxymoron.

That's entirely true.
