[split] Critical Thinking Skills

[CleanShavenJesus]

I am right, I know more about philosophy than you, I got almost straight A's in philosophy classes in college

God is real, you can know God. God is real.

Plenty of people have said that in their lifetimes and concluded that they were wrong. I for one, would have said that in my not too distant history.
But the thing is, he's not. You'll figure that out eventually, or you'll die and figure it out. Either way, don't push your religion on others like telling them they're going to hell because you're an earthly judge on such matters, then tell them you'll be REJOICING when they do. Then they won't tell you to take a long hike.

IIIIII CAAANNNTTTT HELLLPPP ITTTTT!!!! PLEAAAASSSEEEEEEE SOMEONE STOP ME!!!??

If you say that Christianity is on the same evidential level as the tooth fairy, you are a liar. And you will go to hell. And I will be happy that you burn, because you are a liar, and you know that you are lying, and you deserve it.

Link? That one is worthy of reporting. Clear violation of the preaching rule, IMO.

Either Ryan wreally pissed him off, or he's got something against the tooth fairy

It proves that it is a topic that serious intellectuals, not even just average scientists or researchers but serious world class scientists such as Isaac Newton or today, Francis Collins, still believe in God.

It is not on the same level of the tooth fairy. I am not using hyperbole when I say that someone who considers Christianity and the tooth fairy to be on the same evidential status to be a liar.

Let me repeat that again 20 times.

I know what a platitude is. What difference does it make if something is trite or seems meaningless? What difference does it make if it is original. I strive to be unoriginal in everything that I do. To be unoriginal in theology is to dialogue with tradition and to dialogue with God.

He has real talent at this kind of thing. He's on a roll today!

Darkstar do you pride yourself on having bourgeois values? You are an admirer of the university culture I see.

Remind me what the university culture is. If it is getting drunk, having sex and doing drugs, then no, I am not an admirer of it.

[jstrodel]

Well, that too, but also placing such a high value on entertainment culture and giving an artificial value that makes calling something a "platitude" a serious "logical" (ITS NOT COOL ENOUGH) argument, as opposed to what it is, the decadent tastes of a decaying society that spends massive amounts of money on entertainment while the world starves.


Bourgeois culture means thinking that you are a better person because you can appreciate fine art.

I was going off of the definition of platitude posted by Cthulhu Dreaming.

Bourgeois culture means thinking that you are a better person because you can appreciate fine art.

Well...I don't think it makes you a better person to appreciate fine art, and I don't even know what "fine art" is. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
