Because Jesus Christ is a great philosopher once you take out all the god-stuff.

I'm serious.
Didn't Ben Franklin himself even try to publish a secular version of the teachings of the Jesus? Or was that another founding father?
I can't really tell them apart tbh :p

I mean I'm an atheist to the bone, but when I read "love thy neighbour like thyself" I just go "f*ck yeah".

It has been explained to you that that's not referring to swinger parties, right? Laughing

No problem, hopefully that Senor Penguin guy won't be coming back, he would be a fool to do so.

He would indeed be a fool to do so.
Because you cannot convince people struck by confirmation bias with facts, logic, or reason.

Also, a strategical error is giving too much evidence, which only hardens the resolve of the person denying facts and/or logic.

So Senor Penguin might as well drink a nice cool ice tea instead of trying to argue with a brick wall.

I would link an actual study on confirmation bias, but unless you guys know German, Wikipedia will have to do.

Yeah, your right, giving too much eveidence is a bad idea, even if Jesus himself showed up in front of everyone there would still be many who would doubt it and say that they just imagined it all, the human mind can be ridiculous sometimes :facepalm:

I think you need to think very carefully about who truely is the brick wall in this cobversation Laughing

Because I have not only given him facts, but also the names of high ranking historians/theologians etc who share my view. I haven't read his reply in the other thread yet, but I doubt he has given me the same amount of reputable names as I gave him.

If you're following the news, you know that the major religions differ in their interpretation of the holy books. For example, one way to interpret God's will is that you should love your neighbor. An alternate reading of the holy books might lead you to rig a donkey cart with small mortar rockets and aim it at a hotel full of infidels. In summary, po-tay-to, poh-tah-to. Religions are very flexible."

You haven't given facts, strictly speaking you have given evidence, most, if not all, of that evidence was in dire need of being interpreted as evidence, otherwise it would've just been random, non-connected factoids.

@Spoony: Quoting Maher now? That'll go over well with the pious folk. :X

If I am mistaken it was something by Scott Adams what he said about 7 8 years ago. I memorized it and never forgot and always say that when people have a fight over religion and such things. I believe it is the truth as a religion is very flexible.

This one as well but dunno who said this:

Religion is a cow. It gives milk, but it also kicks.

I was just pretty sure he said something very similar recently, but I might be mistaken, or he might have been quoting himself, I just had a random bit of memory there.

Probably quoting Scott Adams IMO

Love is my god.

doesn't matter as long as you believe in something that by itself gives you the strength and power to find your way out

call it Morality , Energy or whatever you want .
