Answer me this. Are you skeptical of skepticISM?
Quote:No. That is circular. What preconception MUST I have before reading the bible?Open-minded but skeptical inquiry, I'm guessing this is the same approach you have to anyone else's religious text.
Quote:Tons of people of faith read the bible and reach different conclusions and interpretations.Your point? I said you approach the Bible with your faith as a preconception. Other people have their faiths. These are all preconceptions, upheld without reason and defended against all reason.
Quote:Your theory falls over again by virtue of the fact that people don't need the bible to think God exists.Your point?
Quote:Need I remind you that the people IN the bible didn't have bibles to read. Abraham didn't had any cognitive dissonance because he didn't have the Torah.Your point?
John the Baptist didn't either.
