    Doctors can be wrong, and brain chemistry issues fleeting and/or intermittent. I would still weigh the likelihood of my being wrong vs. unicorns being real, and my being wrong would win hands down.

    Personally, I don't believe or disbelieve in any god or gods. I have no reason to have a belief regarding the notion. There is a solid, but subtle difference between rejecting a claim vs. believing the negation of that claim.

    Prelude to Sunday's debate

    The thing is, I don't want any political leader making policy decisions based on their religious beliefs. I want them making decisions based on fact and evidence.

    Yes, I have no doubt that there is strong belief and that people see what they wish to see, but this is quite different from genuine knowledge and things that can be shown to convince others who don't share our same biases. If I see a unicorn in the park, I am going to decide it more probable...

    I would have to take your word on whether you actually love your wife or not. I have experienced love myself, and so I don't think it too extraordinary that you have as well. I have seen eagles too, so neither of these demands skepticism, unless they come from someone we know to be a habitual...

    It would actually be intellectually irresponsible/dishonest for us to look at something, and decide that something about it has to be true (simply because we cannot conceive of it NOT being true) and then claim that something as knowledge. It is better to say, I don't actually know, than to...

    LOL! This thread is about a preacher intellectually honest enough to state that when it comes to the supernatural, there is no such thing as genuine knowledge, either for or against. On the supernatural, we are all truly agnostic. That's the point he was making, and with which I agree.

    Try Ad Blocker...I didn't see a single ad there. :D Knowledge is something you can rationally and logically demonstrate to others. If you cannot demonstrate the truth of your belief, then it can't be considered knowledge. Faith is about beliefs, not knowledge. :)

    A Gutsy Preacher

    I found the following posted in the blog of a Christian preacher: "At the end of all our studying and praying and accepting and rejecting and feeling and dismissing and meditating and wrestling; whether we’re completely sold-out for Jesus, or unapologetically Buddhist or devout practitioners of...

    Prelude to Sunday's debate

    Having a policy for the sole purpose of winning the approval of any group (especially a HUGE demographic like that) is "smart" from a political stance I suppose, no matter how misguided that policy may be. I hadn't heard that Clinton was against Israel. I fail to understand why the U.S. needs to...

    Why does being pro-Israel make someone smart?
