I figured you to be more intelligent that that.
...
Interesting how you take the stance against me, yet have never mentioned the same context when BADecker makes comments about people belonging in mental institutions (funny farm) and having low intelligence.
CoinCube, can I suggest you take a long hard critical look at the way in which BADecker has argued his point, and the language with which he treats others to validate his point before defending him with your righteous comments.
You again misunderstand me stats. I am not defending BADecker he is entirely capable of defending himself.
The reality is I do challenge BADecker when I disagree with what he says. In fact I have done so in this very thread.
See:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1373864.msg13990595#msg13990595What I am doing here is defending BADecker's correct conclusions. The truth of these conclusions rest on their own merit regardless of whatever BADecker has or has not said in the past.
Religion is all faith.... no truth!
As an aside I also challenge this statement of yours as false. However, unlike the simple logical fallacy above this is a deeper point of contention. If you are interested in why this statement is false I would direct you to the following link.
Debate on Nihilism@CoinCube...... when I stated that "I figured you to more intelligent than that", this was not an inflammatory claim, nor was it implying a low intelligence. It is simply stating that I thought your intelligence was greater than what I since believe. Should you determine that it was a statement of low intelligence or an inflammatory comment against yourself, then that is by your own thought process and not mine. In essence, your belief in my logical fallacy in that situation is flawed.
You claim that you are defending BADecker's conclusions, yet, his words state
"When they believe in something that they do not know is truth and fact, they have religion.". I simply agreed that the comment was correct. This comment alone confirms that BADecker agrees that religion is not truth and fact.
Having read your link, I will concede that my statement of "Religion is all faith.... no truth" I will concede that a level of truth does occur in religion, but only to the individual and/or a core group of people with the same ideology. This does not make it factual for everyone.
I have no issue with a person having faith, in fact I congratulate them on their faith as it is a personal choice they make which best suits them.
If you congratulate people, who inherently understand, that their life is valuable and purposeful, then why do you come here and spend more and more of yours and their time trying to tell them they are wrong?
By the way, nobody here ever wrote that Bible in its present or past state is literal word of God. Rather it is account of past witnesses, who came closer to Him.
Bible is not Quran. It is and should be subject to interpretation, not step by step tutorial.
