Re: C.S.Lewis perspective
C.S. Lewis gives no reasons for his conversion from Atheism to faith in Christ and theism ?
Oh, jaywill, yet again?
That is not what Theo said, implied or even hinted and has absolutely no bearing on the topic being discussed.
You really cannot jump in with just any off the wall fluff nugget that pops into your head. The "Lewis" thing here is on his view of "Original Sin" not the efficacy of his conversion.
Jaywill, my man, you have to be on program first then you can stick your foot in your mouth.

Re: Beliefs vs Evidence
Im claiming that there is not evidence for everything that is true or real in life.
Depends on how you look at it. If something is "real" in real life then there has to be evidence upon which to base this realty. If there is no such evidence then its "truth" value or its "reality" is held indeterminate. Where religionists get into trouble is when they insist on a "truth" for which there is ample evidence against.
Im also claiming that the evidence may be subjective and internal...not replicable so as to satisfy others.
How does this differ from wishful thinking, blind obedience to one's acculturation or dementia?
