The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work

[Redbeard The Pink]

I think it is humorous that you believe that people are unbiased. We all have a biased and want our own agendas and a true Christian's agenda has change to God's agenda. Also a bias can't stop the truth from coming out. It is a myth that believe that people are unbiased or that you can't get the truth from people who are unbiased. Could it be possible that you bias view point will stop you from getting the truth? Why don't you fact check my website. You fact checked your right?

I believe it's possible for people to look at things without a presupposed bias, and I think it's possible for humans to construct methods of gaining information which are specifically designed to account for and negate the fact that human faculties tend to work from confirmation bias. These methods are called science. Confirmation bias is one of the reasons science exists; individual human experience and perception is a terrible benchmark for figuring out what's true about the world, so humans have had to devise ways of figuring out what parts of reality are actually reality and what parts of reality only exist in the minds of certain humans. Your Gaud, as it turns out, falls into that second category. 


There are perfectly scientific, rational explanations for why people of all faiths experience answers to prayer, visions, prophecies, and even miracles, and Occam's Razor dictates you must use evidence to rule out these simpler explanations before moving on to the absurd and untestable hypothesis, "Gaud did it with his magic."


Oh, and Rocket wasn't plagiarizing your argument because it was good. He was showing you how terrible it is by demonstrating that it works with any god (or anything, really) that you plug into the bolded spots. It could have just as easily looked like this:

The truth is the truth. Your situation hasn't changed so the solution to your sin hasn't changed either.   the son of   came down out of his great love and mercy to defeat sin and death through his contribution of spaghetti and meatballs. You can live with Him by accepting His delicious pasta. Or you can cling to your sin and be removed with it when   comes to judge all man kind. You can keep posting your propaganda against the truth if you wish but I will continue to tell you the truth.

Or this:

The truth is the truth. Your situation hasn't changed so the solution to your sin hasn't changed either. My Dick the son of My Dad's Dick came down out of his great love and mercy to defeat sin and death through blasting it on the walls and floor. You can live with Him by accepting His stains on the wall. Or you can cling to your sin and be removed with it when My Dick comes to judge all man kind. You can keep posting your propaganda against the truth if you wish but I will continue to tell you the truth.

It has the exact same veracity regardless of what goes in that slot. You're just making assertions and threatening eternal violence as the consequence and sole reason for belief.


Cult, cult cult.
