Agreed
That was the ideology that a lot of people hated back in the day
>believing things objectively false isnt bad
Big think. But im too nauseous to get into that debate
Depends on how you view religions.
dumb
lel
Nah it isn't my cup of tea but I respect it
Reminds me of Hogfather: You have to start out learning to believe the little lies...so you can believe the big ones
Surprisingly enough Nietzsche actually taught me how to respect Religion
I can see that
In his book beyond good and evil
Im trying to remember the quote
I have the book on my desk, I should pull it up.
"The worth of an opinion is not how true it is, but the value it holds" or something like that
Religion from a philosophical, societal and traditional standpoint can actually be rather unifying and centering for a lot of people. The problem is when people take it to either a dogmatic end or worse commit atrocities in the name of said Religion
but that's any philosophy
see social justice
The problem is the majority of religious people aren't philosophers and do indeed take it to a dogmatic respect
this is very true
but as far as religious philosophers go, I see them intellectually as equals
in terms of how much I respect them
very open minded of you in 2019
Thanks man, I'm still an atheist, but yea, religion definitely has its place imo
except William Lane Craig
no respect for that hack
I was an Atheist/Agnostic up until about a year ago
@yearspastmatter hahahaha
Who the heck is that?
So you know good and well that atheists can be just as bad as the dogmatism we see in religion
I think they annoy me more tbh lol
William Lane Craig is a professional Christian apologist/debater/Gish galloper
You can still learn quite a bit of real philosophy from tearing apart WLC.
he's into Cosmology (not the hairdresser stuff)
Cosmetology lol
I get those confused too
he's about as kooky as it comes
Although i'm very much annoyed with people who treat science like the gospel that can't be changed.
well, it's the same thing. They're dogmatic about it
It might as well be the cosmetological argument for God.
yeah William Lane Craig tends to have debates with scientists rather than with atheist Bible scholars
