RE: The Trap of Pure Rationalism

I feel my pursuit of the truth is very severely hindered by not allowing for the possibility of making shit up as I go and for not taking other people's bullshit at face value just because they promise me a extravagantly unbelieveable reward if I believed it.
So I am forsaking the demand for rationalism, and converting to christianity now.
Ahhhh, the joy of knowing everything without knowing jackshit, this is the high life.......

Oh yeah, just like how we ignore all that fossil evidence so we can continue to believe that God just zapped man into existence, oh, no wait, it's Christians that do that. What a f***ing hypocrite.
I love how Christians always try to throw an atheist argument back at them and totally screw it up, showing that they had no understanding of it in the first place.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

Lucent, every time you post the litany of shit you're going to have to provide evidence for becomes longer.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Lunatics are not constrained by evidence. They're just lunatics.
