Are You Religious?
#94
Quote:First, it is possible to prove an "if-then" statement to be true, even if you don't know the truth of either part. That is, you can prove "a implies b" to be true or false, based on it's truth table, without actually knowing if a is true or false.


What if our system of logic turns out to be flawed?



Quote:Second, I did a paper on an evil God in college. Basically, I said it was possible, but unlikely. It would be hard to call such a diety "Father" or put any faith in him. And it would be difficult to figure out why such a diety would create us in the first place.


Have you looked around the world? Frankly, an evil deity makes more sense than a benevolent deity.



Quote:As for Atheism being logically inconsistent, I contend that belief systems aren't logical anyway -- they're emotional. Every atheist I have met personally (or read) is ANGRY about something.


That may be true; I'm not sure. I do know that I'm not angry about anything. Perhaps that's why I categorize myself as an agnostic. Smiley

Seriously, I still have a lot of residual Catholic angst. I think the church is full of corruption, but that doesn't disprove the religion, nor is it why I gave up on it.

Quote:And things like Eden and Hell are not necessarily literal, in my personal view.


...which raises the age-old question: how do you tell the literal parts of a holy text from the figurative parts?
Quote:In Jr. High School, I would take a gummi bear, squeeze its ears into points so it looked like Yoda, and then I would say to it "Eat you, I will!". And of course then I would it eat.
