I was wondering the same thing.
These 2 especially intrigue me:
Quote:So when can it be relied upon, and how do you know which parts are the accurate ones?
I have asked Christians this for years. Yet to get a reasonable answer.
I'd love a non-literalist Christian to go through a Bible with different color highlighters and highlight the passages they believe should be taken literally, which are figurative, which are metaphor, which are parables, etc.
Then explain what heuristic they used to determine how they made their decisions, and why other Christians come to very different choices using another heuristic?
Quote:Why not? How long do you think one's time there will be?
And do they go to heaven after?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
