atheism, philosophy and emotional immaturity

[jstrodel]

Emotional immaturity is when you post a one sentence argument for a position that is a naked assertion that is completely radical, even by the standards of atheist approaches to knowledge, and you think you are automatically right because Christian beliefs are "irrational".

All in one sentence, nice...

But seriously, let's discuss emotional immaturity. I would say an accurate description is one who doesn't yet have control over them. As opposed to an emotional basket case who at one time, had controll but is quite often prone to have a breakdown.

But I'm willing to bet that what you really meant was to insult those who are younger than you and set yourself up as an authority based on age and experience. Do I read you correctly?

Not intending to insult anyone, only to impart a sense of respect for the Christian philosophical tradition, which has included such nobodies and idiots as Augustine, Aquinas, Descarte, Kirkeegaard, William of Occam, John Locke, Pascal, Tolstoy.

Anyone who claims that Christianity is on the same evidential status as the tooth fairy is a liar, and anyone who treats religion as if it is something that should be insulting, rather than considered or rejected, but respectfully, deserves ridicule and rebuke and has made their conclusion without appreciating the immense contributions of religious belief, while not rendering religion true, it confers a sense of respect for the tradition.
