Contradictions in "rational" thought
#37
RE: Contradictions in "rational" thought
OK I'll give you 3 though you put too fine a point on what constitutes thinking. Just because a person did no tbecome an atheist means nothing. Plenty of great thinkers, mathematicians and scientists became Christians. They realized self-righteousness and sin are generic, and Jesus was the only real hope after doing a reality check.

OK here's number 5:

I asked an agnostic today, who says the NT was made up, how fishermen managed to write similies like Shakespeare. He thought for a moment and said, "Well, they had scholars then you know."

So guys, were they fishermen and goatherders, or scholars?

Big difference, which obviously shows a wish (on one side at least) to believe something and make up excuses as one needs to.
