Are Atheists "Philosophically Limited"....?
Are atheists philosophically limited..?
Over in the thread discussing the reasons for diminished creationist participation Has the bias made this forum essentially irrelevant? Phat says the following:
Phat writes:
This forum has seen a diminished response from Biblical Creationists who limit themselves philosophically, as well as an increase from many atheists who in my opinion also limit themselves philosophically in regards to considering a Creator, never mind creationism.
I don’t want to single out Phat in particular because this charge of being philosophically limited is one that I have seen aimed at atheists before (doesn’t Karen Armstrong say something similar?) but I am not sure what it means exactly. Can anyone elaborate?
Obviously I don’t see atheism as philosophically limited but until I know what is meant by that exactly it is difficult to say. Maybe it is philosophically limited in a way that I have not yet considered.
Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.
