If you want to understand something, you shouldn't begin with an assumption. That's your first mistake.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

And yet you do. Why? Assume first, ask questions later. Well, in this case, no questions were asked; blind following instead ensued. This is the complete antithesis of intellectual. So you think there's supernatural influence, but you have no evidence for such. Why assume at all? Quote:Understanding is knowledge is what faith is built on. Faith is not knowledge, nor does it have a basis in knowledge. Try again. Or just stop trying.

Notice how Frodo has ignored or refused to answer any questions about his irrational belief in his deity, and jumped straight to more presuppositional bullshit.

This is complete, Deepak Chopra level horse shit, based on nothing but a jumble of bald assertions that don't mean anything. "How does your specific deity escape the same examination as other supernatural beliefs?" "Information quiets incredible brains" "What? Why can't you answer the question?" "Infinity reflects new reality" "What? Answer the question." "The human nervous system illuminates subjective creativity" What? Try to stay on topic, answer the question. "I have answered the question repeatedly, your claim is wrong because I presuppose otherwise." Congrats to Frodo for being full of so much shit he can't even compose a cogent response without spewing more bullshit to cover up his bullshit.

Quote:'pocaracas' pid='659986' dateline='1398778632'] Brain power is needed i'm afraid. Are you out?  The starting point is reality. From reality we observe logic. From logic we deduce what must be logical. From what we know, we predict what we don't know. Accuracy depends on the quality and completeness of the subject.

You said that we could dismiss religion because some things which are bad have been done in its name.

I assume that you're human. I test for human. Human test passed. Subject assumed to be human. Please demonstrate the fault with this process. I'm not disagreeing with you, as I don't need to. I'm merely interested.

And yet you do. Why? With no ability to actually know that your assumption is true, or is even based upon truth, what makes you think you can gain any kind of knowledge from your belief? Assuming supernatural influence with no ability to test that assumption merely means that purpose, and God, can not be understood but merely assumed in the same manner, and with the same lack of concern over whether or not there's actually anything there. Quote:Anything can be abused. A beautiful girl might be used to lure innocent victims > therefore we should kill all beautiful girls? Sounds like just the sort of assertion (plus supporting logic) that you would find in the OT somewhere.

We call what cannot be faulted knowledge. If you can't fault a premise, then you can build on that premise, as long as it stands unrefuted. Your materialism is destroyed. |
