Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

[Esquilax]

The way such apologetic arguments "model" reality with their initial assumptions are at best overly simplistic and at worst totally wrong. The result would only be true in a reality that really did follow the extremely simple rules that are suggested.

For example, Wooters' position: "You can know things just by knowing them, a priori, with no referent to the objective reality such knowledge applies to, because I find the principle of non-contradiction to be self evident. Therefore, I know that Aquinas was perfectly correct, therefore Aquinas was correct."

His entire thing boils down to "I know it because I know it," and he's gonna chastise me for a lack of intellectual rigor? I was thinking about this last night and it ended up pissing me off way more than it did when I first responded to it.
