Religion

I'm trying to respect your opinion Miss Tery, I really am. But I find it impossible without knowing whence it comes.

 

I've said before.
*I don't mind that you feel how you do.
*I don't even mind if you want to argue about it.
But here's the kicker. You don't want to face up to the fact that you're criticizing people for the golden rule, or that they don't always adhere to their religion's tenets, and yet you specifically set out to blast others for this knowing you're doing it.

It's also a shame that, though you continue to want to talk religion, you obviously don't face up to an actual discussion about it. You just want to piss people off.

So you can either choose one or the other, but trying to show moral high ground while digging deeper in the mud isn't smart. And though you suggest mental intelligence, you've done nothing to back that either.
Figures to think that if you're so intent on basing something on nothing, you'd be more sympathetic to others that do; but all I ask is you hold yourself to your own rules.

 

Yet you refuse to explore the limitations of your theories and beliefs. You expect people just to accept your version of the way things are, even though some of your major base beliefs are at odds with each other.

That make you a hypocrite.

 

Well, it's a simple matter of controversial being more high profile than logical or reasoned. Not to say she doesn't have logic or reason, but as you note there's no actual backing put to it. It's more to make them mad than anything, obviously.

 

I like the basketball analogy. Everybody has a favorite team. Some are christians, some are muslims, some are buddists, some are pagans, etc....
None of them are correct, merely a matter of opinion and faith. It stems from the environment you were raised (read indoctrinated) in.

 

Yes, but there's always a championship and ultimately only ONE winner.

Honestly, the people who study science and nature in its purest forms are the first to tell you that all proof leads to a creator - an author.

Even Charles Darwin later rescinded his theories having studied it in depth.

 

that's it, talk shit about our upbringing. way to epitomize that goodness.

 

So we call you slam dunk right?

 

I guess dukey does have a point with his alien.
