Would it be better if we could all sit down and discuss religion philosophically?

Answer 1

Oh, so much better. But that would require too much difficult thought and study, so don't hold your breath.

Answer 2

I'm sitting down and I was a philosophy and religion major in college. What would you like to discuss?

Answer 3

Definitely. Grab a few of your fellow atheists, invite some Christians and Jews, and I'll bring a few of my fellow Muslims. We'll all have a party and discuss religious philosophies.

Answer 4

We could probably discuss the philosophies contained in doctrine but actual faith in God is beyond mere philosophy! Faith goes beyond reason and intelligence so it would be near impossible to philosophically discuss someones deep faith without offending them or starting an argument.

Answer 5

It would be a vast improvement.

But, most that have a belief system in place cannot wrap their heads around what someone else "believes".

Besides, we'd need some handcuffs and other physical restraints to keep the "filthy hypocrites" at bay...lol

Answer 6

Sure, I'm game to discuss the differences.

Answer 7

The Christian religion is to be experienced.

God has promised us His Holy Spirit.
And with Him comes gifts and power.

There is little in words to persuade people, but when they experience God's power, than He becomes real to them.

Answer 8

That would require open minds, and those are in short supply these days, unfortunately. But if others are willing, I will sit in as well.

Blessed Be )O(

Answer 9

You can't discuss evangelical Christianity philosophically- it has to be confronted aggressively.

Answer 10

Absolutely, but that will never happen due to close-minded people who aren't willing to accept that their interpretation of the meaning of life is wrong.
