Right ...Now we're speaking about what’s crazy. Right up my alley.<br /><br />So Ken Ham and Bill Nye walked into a bar to have a debate about God. They were asked by an audience member: “What would it take for you to believe the other side?” <br /><br />The (paraphrased) answers were thus: Bill Nye said “One solid piece of evidence”, and Ken Ham said “Absolutely nothing!”<br /><br />Some might say that one was being rational, and the other heroic. Me I’ll admit, that when it comes to the metaphysical world, both answers make sense to me.<br /><br />But I’ve seen this style of thinking extended to the material world. In that world, the rational thinker who tries to consider only facts and apply logic is at least trying to make sense. But the blind faither seems like he’s just being crazy.<br /><br />I hope that we don't confuse each with the other, because that'd be crazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-6366039752358532622022-05-27T13:20:50.372-07:002022-05-27T13:20:50.372-07:00Christianity would scandalize the Christian if it ...Christianity would scandalize the Christian if it stopped scandalizing the world.<br />Nicolásnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-78361473898359704092022-05-27T12:53:09.821-07:002022-05-27T12:53:09.821-07:00huh?huh?jasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-49756804274273617602022-05-27T12:36:41.799-07:002022-05-27T12:36:41.799-07:00Christian doctrines have the implausibility of obj...Christian doctrines have the implausibility of objects that we do not construct, but that we stumble across.<br />Nicolásnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-75306326085585456992022-05-27T12:08:54.642-07:002022-05-27T12:08:54.642-07:00"Christ's doctrine is he himself, and he ..."Christ's doctrine is he himself, and he himself is not his own, because his 'I' exists entirely from the 'you.'"<br /><br />Hwhat?jasonnoreply@blogger.com
