Quote:In my view, emotions are basis of subjective consciousness, so I think it is unfair to say that "emotions do nothing".Nothing when it comes to ascertaining what is true and what is not. When it comes to fact finding, it's completely useless.
You can't tell what is real and what is just your imagination. What is reality and what is fiction. It's useless.
Quote:I think certain religious philosophies are superior to science at explaining the subjective experience of unconditional love. As I have stated on numerous, explaining love as a chemical reaction is valid, but it lacks depth; it does not explain the value, meaning or the profound nature of love.So you just want more than 'love is just a chemical reaction'. You don't have to turn to religion to find a sense of meaning in love you silly. The fact that those feelings arise most powerful with a certain person is on it's own meaningful. Don't need to believe in an all knowing, all powerful universe making god to do it. That's just silly.
Quote:Why Christianity? Because it feels right and true at this very moment; this might change tomorrow, but for the time being, it feels right.So you believe in sin? You believe Jesus died for our sins? You believe Jesus resurrected in three days? You've accepted Jesus as your saviour?
You actually believe in all this? Why?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
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.
