Street Epistemology - Practice

[Abaddon_ire]

Sure, it is a grammatical nuance that annoys me. Why cannot people figure out that "there", "their" "they're" etc. are different things? 

Precision in language matters. 


The god-botherers are happy to deprecate that, yet somehow also to claim the precision of the bible. Except when they don't like it much.

For example, the bible advocates slavery. It even provides rules for it as to how a master should treat his slaves. Christians try to obfuscate that, but the NT affirms it no matter the apologetics.

So where are you on that issue? Is the bible right or wrong?

I'm not following rabbit trails, every time your view becomes inconsistent and incoherent.  Also promised as much to the OP, so if you do not want to talk about epistemology, then goodbye, and good day.

I would encourage you to think through these things though, rather than just bouncing around to non-related things when you get into trouble..  This topic of epistemology is interesting. when you give it some thought.

Epistemology is fine when it is honest. When it is not, then not so much.

That Is very odd. The OP is not mine, I did not start this thread, I merely contributed my thoughts to it. Somehow, you saw fit to make a bucket of crap up out of nothing and plant it on my doorstep just because you felt like it.

Guess again. The OP is the member named curiosne. Now I have no idea exactly who that person actually is, but you have conflated me with he/she/it/housecat simply for convenience of argument. This informs me of certain things. You are unable to distinguish you interlocutors. You assume that your interlocutors are all the same person. You assume that all of them are deluded. Epistemology as a concept eludes you and you are functionally illiterate since you did not read what I actually wrote
.  

You are welcome to present a rebuttal.

So work away. What is your understanding of epistemology? I contend that you have no idea and will promptly post whatever the first result you find on Google.
