William Lane Craig is a professional Christian apologist/debater/Gish galloper

2019-01-29 17:52:37 UTC  

You can still learn quite a bit of real philosophy from tearing apart WLC.

2019-01-29 17:52:39 UTC  

he's into Cosmology (not the hairdresser stuff)

2019-01-29 17:52:49 UTC  

Cosmetology lol

2019-01-29 17:52:54 UTC  

I get those confused too

2019-01-29 17:52:59 UTC  

he's about as kooky as it comes

2019-01-29 17:53:09 UTC  

Although i'm very much annoyed with people who treat science like the gospel that can't be changed.

2019-01-29 17:53:41 UTC  

well, it's the same thing. They're dogmatic about it

2019-01-29 17:53:43 UTC  

It might as well be the cosmetological argument for God.

2019-01-29 17:53:48 UTC  

yeah William Lane Craig tends to have debates with scientists rather than with atheist Bible scholars

2019-01-29 17:54:36 UTC  

the cosmetological argument for God...I guess that would be the fine-tuning argument

2019-01-29 17:54:40 UTC  

Is he a televangelist or some shit?

2019-01-29 17:55:15 UTC  

no he's a professor

2019-01-29 17:55:34 UTC  

I just wound up being areligious, I was an atheist, then an agnostic, then I just stopped caring at all about the subject from a spiritual view.

2019-01-29 17:57:07 UTC  

Rip

there's a term that I liked. It was Ignostic I think it was.

Basically it's this: Can the existence of God be tested for positively or negatively? No. Then the question is irrelevant move on

2019-01-29 17:57:30 UTC  

Lol I like it

2019-01-29 17:57:31 UTC  

I actually read a paper from a friend of mine discussing the dogmatism of social justice

2019-01-29 17:57:49 UTC  

It is very dogmatic

2019-01-29 17:57:56 UTC  

Ohhhh yeah

2019-01-29 17:58:05 UTC  

social justice is even worse

2019-01-29 17:58:14 UTC  

He made the case that when you try to eradicate religion from society, it comes back in manifestations you wouldn't expect. I.E. social justice. I laid in bed thinking about that for hours last night.

2019-01-29 17:58:18 UTC  

Hence why sjws label me a bad person for not believing the gospel

2019-01-29 17:58:20 UTC  

because it has the one-two punch of original sin *and* no redemption path

2019-01-29 17:58:41 UTC  

There is one

2019-01-29 17:58:45 UTC  

It is very much dogmatic and filled with people trying to get more offended more than the other nowadays.

2019-01-29 17:58:54 UTC  

Become intersectional

2019-01-29 17:58:54 UTC  

What do you guys think of that claim though?

2019-01-29 17:59:08 UTC  

I had this exact conversation with a group recently. The removal of religion in such a haphazard manner has left a philosophical hole in our society

2019-01-29 17:59:19 UTC  

Did it?

2019-01-29 17:59:20 UTC  

but we didn't do anything to replace it with anything good

2019-01-29 17:59:29 UTC  

Exactly man

2019-01-29 17:59:35 UTC  

so people fill it with whatever nonsense they can glom onto

2019-01-29 17:59:47 UTC  

Like maybe until mankind becomes evolved enough, we need religion to prevent that kind of dogmatism from manifesting in other ideologies

2019-01-29 17:59:48 UTC  

I have a lot of religion surrounding me I guess so I didn't notice

2019-01-29 17:59:54 UTC  

So I guess that's why Indonesia doesn't have this kind of problem in terms of SJWs.

2019-01-29 18:00:09 UTC  

That's fucking crazy to think about isn't it

2019-01-29 18:00:15 UTC  

It's like ideological compromise or something

2019-01-29 18:00:30 UTC  

(And also because communism is a felony here )
