Having faith in the bible but not in the Koran cannot be a well-reasoned decision, for it is totally arbitrary.


this is hideously untrue

Actually for this entire thread I thought the Koran/Bible argument was the most intriguing.

Beyond faith and cultural heritage, what logical reasons is there to 'chose' the bible over the Koran or vice versa?

Some might sigh and say 'well, without faith that discussion is pointless', but I actually find this a very intriguing question. And no I'm not picking it up to 'have a go' at anybody religious, I just think it is a good question.

Last post-the first statement is you.



[/ QUOTE ]

The bible says, basically, you burn in hell if you don't have faith. If that's not a condemnation I don't know what is.

[ QUOTE ]

The second statement is you with an expansive sweep without substance.


[/ QUOTE ]

I should have been more clear. I was referring to your claim that faith and intellect go hand in hand, and that that is an impossibility for a christian. As to why, see the rest of my last post.
