Atheists and theists: Endless confrontations

[aleCcowaN]

Applying logic to holy books, though, highlights the internal contradictions and makes their testable claims refutable.

It's like watching a movie in DVD and thinking all the time that the actors are contemporary fellows that are pretending to be what they are not; that a cameraman is behind the framed image about the same position we are now eating unhealthy finger food or beyond-caducity leftovers; that a boom microphone is hanging there and we could see it if the camera had been zoomed out a bit; etcetera

I enjoy movies and I might enjoy holly books because I'm human and humans like these sort of things and our brains are prepared to go on even in front of a contradiction or our personal demise. I'd never spoil watching a movie by thinking all the time it is a set up, nor I'd do in the extremely unlikely case of reading a holly scripture or assisting a ritual in a temple.

But I'd never accept that Amadeus is the biography of Mozart nor that there's a heavenly amusement park for free and 24/365, one with admissions granted of refused determined by wealth, camels and needles' eyes.

As I said before, No I Won't.

Please put it in your sig, so we don't have to delete it when quoting you.

Good idea. Such egoism is annoying.

Dear Doron,

1) I am not trying "to define a common ground between spirituality and science." I am thinking about a way to end poisonous conflicts. A common ground may or may not be found later.

2) Methods of validation of claims in our material world (using logic based on reproducible experimental data) are not the same as those in our spiritual world (using logic based on holy books). Many potentially dangerous conflicts, between believers and nonbelievers, would disapper if such statement was universally recognized as valid.

3) Thank you for the links.

And?

That is a very peculiar response.

What are you expecting him to do at this point, having read your stuff?

Praise you? Give you his first-born? Bow down and worship? Offer up his virginity?
