Like his entire "humans killing humans" section. If you look at other animals, they rarely kill each other for food, in their own societies at least. And at an instinctual level you can argue that by killing a member of your own species, you are lessening the chances of survival for you species.<BR/><BR/>Pious morons like that read the bible the way they wish. And rarely make research into the greater world.<BR/><BR/>I liked Rich's point about defaulting to God. Like if science can't prove it, it must be God.

What they really mean is he doesn't have the cognitive bias that it must make sense because it's god's word. If you assume it must make sense you will jump through multiple mental hoops to try and match up the contradictions. <BR/><BR/>I can't take someone seriously who says "The moral law is written on my heart"<BR/><BR/>Total white noiseStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16288874559622643188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148334289996581824.post-2242806574184468542008-01-17T13:22:00.000-06:002008-01-17T13:22:00.000-06:00OK, i could only spend 47 minutes listening to it ...OK, i could only spend 47 minutes listening to it all, but i'd definatly have to say that apparently you've got alot of things out of context from their point of view.

And the notion that you have to be a believer to understand text sounds ridiculous but rings truth to them.<BR/><BR/>I think that maybe a starting with a philosophical approach would prove slightly more effective because thought independent from scripture can be provoked.<BR/><BR/>What sucks is that in order to cast doubt in a fervent Christian listeners mind you have to make the radio host stumble or seem stumped. These guys will have an answer for everything no matter how ignorant.<BR/><BR/>Good luck Rich.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148334289996581824.post-37637102523210788712008-01-17T08:34:00.000-06:002008-01-17T08:34:00.000-06:00I agree, Rich.
