responding to common objections to bible part 5

[total relism]

I am getting that you are not accepting of people from your previous threads.

"i want everyone to be saved and go to haven".

I'm sure a lot of fundamentalists have the same thought. Does that make them good people with good intentions?

"I dont accept that multiple truths can exist, 2 plus 2 cannot be both 4 and 76. There can be only one truth and i hope all find it."

What makes you think that you know the truth? What makes anyone know what's the truth, when we are clearly in no power to deduce such things? We can't even solve our current problems, and yet we dream of salvation. If you are so wise (or any preacher of God, for that matter), why don't you propose a solution to all of the Earth's problems, so that our transition to heaven is a smooth one? Do that, and I will believe. If not, then pardon me while I make my existence on Earth tolerable.

what previous thread?islam?.


I would think so why not?




a future thread will share the reasons i believe the bible is the truth. I think truth is knowable,in fact you asume things to be true to type to me. That i am a real person,that i will respond,that i understand what your saying etc. the reason we cant solve our problems is because we need salvation and a savior. jesus is the solution to earth problems [please read thread on why is there death and suffering].

I'm designing a unit for my students on how to create a proper argument, judging sources, referencing, consistency and all that. I plan to include a few lessons on horror stories of how not to do it.

This thread should be a goldmine.

EDIT: I did find it extremely interesting that the OP states plainly that taking it's morally acceptable to take a life to "save a person from evil". If that's not the sign of a psychopath in the making, I don't know what is.

This would be a good start. I haven't read it myself, as my books on methodology have been centered on my profession as opposed to a dicipline, but I hear it's good.

It's a general book on methodology, and so if you want to delve deeper into single methods, I highly recommend Jon Elster's book on methodological individualism.

And stay away from anyone who sounds French.

Still, the most important thing is to stop listening to uneducated people.

These are the kind of books most members of these forums have read(or at the very least skimmed....). A methodology book is mandatory for any bachelor degree, and most poster here have at least that. Which one you read is based on your education, as there are different books for different fields and diciplines. In all honesty though the content is basically the same, it's just the context and examples they swap from book to book.

If you're going on a quest to prove the world's leading intellectuals wrong, the first thing you need to do is make sure you understand methodology(a key ingredient in critical thinking).

thank you, i will reconsider the books.

you did say my post was a goldmine for a way not to, i was just looking for some helpful tips to avoid,or do in future post,could you help?.
