Opinions aren't that controversial to me. How can anyone get upset about an opinion? What's the point? It is just an opinion. If the opinion is presented as FACT and people decide to make that pseudo-fact appear rational and universally true, then I have a problem. Such an incident started this current discussion about what is true and what isn't. An opinion about what happens to people who don't find the LORD was offered up as FACT.
Sorry, that's out of line. Everyone is welcome to the LORD. Love [hH]im, cherish [hH]im, all that. It probably makes people act better (sometimes). But don't post what happens to others if they don't as FACT because it may be possible, or even likely, that a) no LORD exists, and b) [hH]e may not even be the thing people carrying [hH]is message think [hH]e is.
These are valid logical questions that pretty much define my position on [lL]ords of all kinds, secular or religious. Until they are answered (which I argue they can't be answered), people shouldn't make forceful statements about such purported entities...
I was willing to see a logical argument presented for the proposition but insisted that no logical rules be broken (I'm always open to new ideas). The poster passed on logical rules, or even to avoid commonly known fallacies. Somehow that conversation evolved (oops! how'd that get in here) into this one through a natural progression. If anyone cared what I believed and asked, I'd tell them, but I'd say it was my opinion which is synthesized from some facts, observations and some things that are just opinion.
I think (opinion) it's impossible to demonstrate heavy-handed religious dogma at even a 50/50 chance. AND I'M NOT AN ATHEIST!!! But we'll never know because irrationality won out over reason. |
