(July 8, 2012 at 2:57 pm)Faith No More Wrote: You guys are kind of embarassing yourself in this thread. All Clive wants is for you to justify why you think your memory is reliable, yet none of you seem to even have any idea as to why you believe that it is.

As for me, I operate under the assumption that my memory is accurate, because time after time I have acted upon my memory and gotten positive results. Does this make me irrational? Maybe. But I never claimed to be rational.

I think that whether or not our memories are reliable is a small portion of what Clive wants us to justify. It seems more like he's looking for us to justify our atheism as a whole.

As for whether or not my memory is accurate, well I'd like to believe that it is. If it's not, then I'm living in delusion. Who's to say this isn't all just some big dream?

Of course, that's besides the point, and there's no use arguing that.

You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!? [Image: TARDIS.gif]
