If you ask me a question I'm just going to preach at you. My understanding of the world is completely different from yours. Let me give you an example, I know people who raised the dead, and cast out demons. I can never prove this actually so it has no place in a debate, however I beleive 100% that the person telling this to me was telling the truth. What is there to debate about that? |
Silly butterbut, for thinking that these conversations only extend through debate. The people sharing in conversation are looking for greater understanding, not for high score.
Taking someones word without considering other factors has to be the most irresponsible approach to living life. It says many things about your character not only from the religious standpoint, but also in being a productive citizen in this world. I am sure you don't live your life with such an approach, so how and why should anybody take you serious for any other matter?
As a philosopher you ought to wonder and experience reality and obtain the knowledge of how it works. Only then can you make predictions and speculations and only then can you have sensible beliefs.
Many people fall into the trap of trying to prove and disprove god. I no longer fall for that evil little trick anymore. You need to start to make it seem like you know what you are talking about before anybody takes you serious. Taking someone's word for it "just because" doesn't help much of your case.
