This in response to an offensive journal post.
I posted this response, and wanted to share it with you.
Interesting. After having taught philosophy for several years- regardless of what one believes, you still have a very flawed approach. For one, there are many things that fall into the “non rational” category. Note, I did not use the term “irrational.” Simply because one does not find empirical evidence, or one does not find something rational, does not logically justify saying it does or does not exist.
Not that I adhere to any specific religion, I am merely pointing out that your argument is logically flawed.
Anyone who claims any truth, is indeed “exclusive.” You point out the inconsistencies of religion, yet so many non religious, including Darwinism, is inconsistent with so many things; including Laws of Thermodynamics and the false claim of Uniformitarianism.
Merely pointing out the weak points, to justify your thoughts, is called Straw Man reasoning. You set up the opposing view by using all its weaknesses, and oppose it with all your strong points.
In addition, if you dislike religion, simply….do not practice it. I personally do not practice one, but am not offended by, nor do I intentionally offend, those who do.
Quite honestly? You need to grow up.
