answer to a logical proposition based on their beliefs--they give some off the wall answer? It's like asking someone what color is your car? and getting the answer-"the visigoths attacked rome in the 3rd century".

The corollary to your question is, "Why, after similar experiences repeating over and over again, would you expect something different from them?"

The very idea that someone accepts fundamentalism requires such a shutting down of the reasoning faculties, it prevents rational thought in other areas, too. If the Bible is your yardstick, your measurements will always be off.

Because a fundie is incapable of giving an intelligent answer. So they think they can make themselves look smart by spamming the forum with Bible verses, many of which have no correlation to the others, or to the question being asked. They do that because that's what they've been told to do when someone asks a question in real life--point at a random verse and start preaching. It's part of the brainwashing they do in their churches.

It is impossible to have a rational discussion with an irrational human.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting the results to change.

these are the people who take literally the cultural myths of some ancient goat herding desert nomads. right? talking snakes and donkeys, the sun and moons halted in the sky, a woman turned into a salt lick, leprosy cured by the ritual killing of doves, a 6000 year old Earth, Jonah living inside a big grouper, pairs of every animal on the planet stuffed inside a boat for over a month, the color of a kid being determined by having the pregnant goat look at different colored sticks ... all literally true as far as the people you're addressing are concerned. keep that in mind and you'll not frustrate yourself anymore.

"Fundies" is a generalization and your ability to be logical is self proclaimed. Why not just allow the religious to proclaim their superiority in their beliefs while you proclaim yours in your logic?

1 Cor 2:14: But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Why is it when Christians give a logically constructed answer that the non-believers ignore it (or worse)?

2007-10-27 00:21:18 · answer #7 · answered by Molly 6 · 4 3

Because faith in a god has absolutely NO logic in it. That is why they are called faith based belief systems. I think it is funny to watch them try though. They so desperately want their religion to make sense they end up making insane argument trying to justify their beliefs.

Can you handle this logic ?

Rom 5:8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
[1John 1:8] If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
[1John 1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[Rom 10:9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[Rom 10:10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
[Mat 10:32] Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven

iF YOU HAVE TOLD A MINISTER THAT YOU HAVE DONE THE ABOVE YOU ARE NOW READY TO ATTEND ANY CHURCH THAT LOVES JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND SAVIOUR !!! GOD BLESS YOU IN YOUR QUEST TO KNOW GOD !!!

Perhaps it is that you are unable to grasp the logical. You simply don't hear what you want to hear.
