Hume was right

Quote:Since nothing is ever present to the mind but perceptions, and since all ideas are deriv'd from something antecedently present to the mind, it follows, that 'tis impossible for us so much as to conceive or form an idea of any thing specifically different from ideas and impressions. Let us fix our attention out of ourselves as much as possible; let us chase our imagination to the heavens, or to the utmost limits of the universe;

Isn't this just as powerful an argument for following Jesus, (or at least testing his claims and promises) as well as an argument for getting rid of medieval religious beliefs?

Errmmm no
