Quote:One way is to tell me my point of view is incorrect by saying it's 'objective.'By lying to you? Can't imagine how that might backfire........ :looks up:
Quote:Also by declaring it a fact (objective), it is more effective in keeping it the popular opinion. If people were encouraged to decide on their own, more people might decide differently, and that's bad from the society perspective. Better to brainwash or condition or train or whatever you want to call it, so people come to the desired conclusion.I disagree. Christians have been claiming objective this and thats for quite some time.....and yet christians have been murdering people for quite some time. That's the opposite of effective, imo. Their results in this area appear to be indistinguishable from chance.
