Modulous on culture based beliefs

Author: Modulous
Forum: In The News (Creation/Evolution only)
Thread: Jesus Tomb Found
message number: #130

Modulous takes a bit of time to post a pretty nice message about how the fact that many religious beliefs are determined by the culture in which a person lives is an indication of their subjectivity.

I especially liked the way he said:

That is to say, there is no real reason to disbelieve the teachings of Mohammed other than you were raised in a society that didn't agree with the teachings of Mohammed. So it turns out that what you agree with ends up being a matter as arbitrary as where/when you were born.

But the whole post is a well-written development of this theme.

This point has been raised many times in the past, but I thought it was particularly well stated this time.

I dunno. Is this post too brief to be a good POTM candidate? Well, POTM hasn't been used for a while, and someone needs to be nominated!

Anyway, NN makes probably the best distinction I have yet seen for "intelligent" vs. "other kinds of" design.

Re: NosyNed and Design Types

Heh. Sorry, Ned. I will repeat that it was a very good point to make.

Edited to add:
But maybe be someone will jump in and give it an unqualified second!
