Default Re: Tough Questions about Christianity

[ QUOTE ]
I love when someone attempts to argue a position using such words as the following: Pathetic,Silly, silly,short-sighted,Hmmmm,silliness.

Btw, is this Platonic thinking or is it Aristotelian? It is a new way of thinking for me, so I am not sure.

You bring up a good point. Atheists/Agnostics are quick to condemn Christians for circular logic... that is, making an argument about something while assuming that something is true in the argument...but they themselves are often guilty of it too!

For #10, he asks someone how they can believe the silliness of one religion but dismiss the silliness of another. No devout person considers his own beliefs to be "silliness," and if they did, there would be no argument here.
