Debating religion why being unisulting
#16
RE: Debating religion why being unisulting
The point is;

Criticizing or pointing out logical flaws in their religion, is seen to be offensive in the first place. If religion is placed on a pedestal to be protected, then the discussion is perceived by those that believe to be insulting.

All religious debate is insulting, either to the intelligence or by implication of challenging something that represents someones deep private conviction of truth. The only thing up for debate is how insulting you want to get.
Frankly, I say, in for a penny.. in for a pound. If you're going to be insulted anyway, I might as well use the whole of my vocabulary.
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
