Re: Defending belief?
And those all over the world now, who refuse to deny Christ in the face of imprisonments and torching of their villages and beheadings and other atrocities, likewise just fools.
​
I don't know what I think of them, but I'm damn sure that GOD considers their acts foolish.
​
GOD is a God of love. Christianity is a religion of life. A god that would want folk killed or tortured simply to show respect for his name is pretty pitiful, a small little gremlin of no intrinsic worth. She would be a narcissistic underachiever.

Re: on Belief
But he didn't say how you could separate the sheep from the goats to empirically measure them
​
Oh, but he did, we've been over that. LOL
​
Belief has nothing to do with Sheep or Goats as you well know. In fact, the Bible says that the Goats will be the believers.

There is no such thing as belief from without unless you can provide some way that it can be tested and independently verified.

to which iano replied:
​
That is a philosopical statement.
​
Not really. It's a statement of fact. Until you can provide some evidence that impartation exists there is simply no reason to assume its existence.

Re: on Belief
Were is the verification that empiricism is the only way to determine if things exist or not?
​
That is not at all what I said. What I said is that it is the only way we can know something, verify it. If it cannot be verified, it is but personal belief, nothing more.
