Quote:I did not say that "it all comes from emotion". I said "primarily based on emotion". By this, I was referring to a theoretical reflection of my own personal emotional wisdom and morality.You still shouldn't rely on emotion for when it comes to figuring out what's real or not. Emotions do nothing.
Quote:As I have already stated, I believe that the majority of individuals passing judgement here are utterly ignorant of philosophy and assume that science (empirical evaluation) and mathematics have the ultimate answer to absolutely everything, which they clearly do not.And if what you said was true (and I don't think it is) how does that make religion the better method for explaining things?
Quote:My new found interest in Christianity was only made possible by perceiving it through the lens of relativism and existentialism. The vast majority of people who have replied to this thread are speaking exclusively from a material reductionist perspective.You didn't answer the question. Why Christianity and not the other thousands of religions?
Quote:As I have already stated, I believe that God exists and does not exist simultaneously.Why do you believe in god? Also, why the Christian god?

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
