Moderator TrueFreedom Posted July 31, 2012 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2012 Care to contribute? Questions for my FB friends who don't attend my church: 1) Do you believe that church can have relevance today? 2) Why or why not? I sent what you contributed so far. I deleted mine--curious what he will come back with--may be drama... No drama. He appreciated the responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentknight Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Talk about a roundabout argument - it's true you can never fully trust your sense, but that doesn't mean trusting in something even your senses can't detect as any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought2Much Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Talk about a roundabout argument - it's true you can never fully trust your sense, but that doesn't mean trusting in something even your senses can't detect as any better. "It's like upsetting a milk just and hoping that the way it splashes itself will give you a map of London." This is similar to the creationist argument that "life must have a creator, because expecting everything to come together and work randomly is like expecting a tornado to put together a 747 out of the parts in a scrapyard." It's bad, bad, bad logic. It's such bad logic that it's really anti-logic. I thought C.S. Lewis was smarter than that. Now I may just have to read his books again just to see how fucked up his thinking was, but I just missed it the first time around because I was reading them through "God goggles."

And he assumed that evolution was true in Mere Christianity. This argument displays ignorance of how natural selection works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, according to a Darwinian philosopher from Oxford University, Darwin's theory experienced a decline after his death, and even academia did not really start thinking too hard about it again until the mid twentieth century. I came across that nugget of information in this feature on Dawkins that I watched last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2I8f4lpBLU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midniterider Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Talk about a roundabout argument - it's true you can never fully trust your sense, but that doesn't mean trusting in something even your senses can't detect as any better. If he can't trust his own thinking he shouldn't trust any assertion, theory or fact including whether or not there is a god. A sane person does not have to "believe" in the obvious. He just experiences it. Thought is obvious. I am aware of it occurring. On the other hand God is never more than just a thought. Not that thoughts by their very nature of being thoughts makes them without value. Some thoughts just cause shame, guilt, fear and steal your money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryper Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 My sister posted a picture of her book shelf. On it was the Bible, several religious texts, and 50 shades of Grey. I commented that If you wanted to combine religion and BDSM there is far better written smut on the internet. She deleted it. My thought was if you don't want someone to call you out on it, don't post it. However, i refrained from writing that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
