Faith is a measure of irrationality

Incorrect, I made up my mind after you said many many words.


(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: The problem is, I see both sides of the argument. You don't.

I highly doubt that. Please explain 'my side' to demonstrate that you do indeed see both arguments.

I never accused you of being a zombie. I implied that you were gullible and unreasonable. And if you are well aware of all the possiblities, why don't you explain all of them? Again, just to demonstrate that you know them.

But, when they happened over and over again.... "I" started to wonder. Am I, and my ilk, just lucky... all the time? And, anit it odd that when we pray for people things seem to work out! All the time?!! Very strange indeed!

I'm going to let you in a not so very secret secret: Shit happens.


(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: I'm pretty much in the same boat about not giving 2 shits about you either. But, you'll never see me use one of your innocent family members as fodder for sarcasm. It's just inhuman.

I disagree, it's very human

Really? And who decided on this universal line?

(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: All that said. When someone experiences something you are not familiar with... How do you make an argument. When YOU weren't there...ever?

From your description of the events at the hospital, it is unnecessary for me to be there to understand and assess the event. The explanation is simple, it is entirely unnecessary to envoke any kind of miracle.

(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: Does God need to materialize from a cloud of smoke for you to believe in a miracle.... Or could He just "use" every unique opportunity available in a given situation to save a loved one?

Have you ever considered that 'every unique opportunity' is just that.

(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: You are basing your answers on my life experiences with lack of evidence,

You are claiming things with lack of evdience.

(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: on your part. That is called "ignorance". I have all the evidence I need: we pray; miracles happen!

I farted twice and the Netherlands scored two goals, my farts must cause Netherlands to score goals.

You think i'm taking the piss here but i'm really not. I'm simply applying your way of thinking.

(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: Spin it up any way you'd like. But, you haven't seen anything.

And neither have you.

(June 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm)ronedee Wrote: And ironically, you never will. At least not in this life.

That isn't what irony is. Oh and how typical, a threat or as you might like to phrase it: an ominous warning.
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
