Quote:Why would you be sure of such a thing? If their religion and theology is ignorance on parade at what point will studying (and subscribing to) that ignorance lead to anything other than continued ignorance?I'm not sure how you or me are to say that their "religion and thelogy is ignorance on parade". They themselves need to state this at first. I never have said such a thing to a person, and never will. I think it's quite a personal thing to ascribe what is ignorant and what is not, when it comes to personal convictions, provided you have no place to stand on.
In the case I've discussed above, I've chosen my point of standing as the religion that the particular believer claims to believe in, and any misconceptions and superstitions that could lead to the gullibility of that person due to his own ignorance about the religion he claims to believe in. Not the ideology itself, for I cannot be the judge of that from any base point I can stand on.
Quote:What is scripture other than the baseless words of others? Why would it matter whether he manufactured this taboo or some other asshole before him manufactured it? Enlighten me.Depends on what you accept as a base. If I were a moslem, I'd probably see the words of the writers of the gospels as "baseles", and "manufactured". From the viewpoint of the Christian, on the other hand, the Gospels are the base from which he ascribes other religions as baseless.
What on earth is your base?
I believe it's your personal conviction that there is no God, and therefore, scripture that claims divine source is baseless.
What else?
It's quite the same as the believers of another religion.
