View Full Version : Rationalism..................DEBUNKED!

If you pick up your keyboard, lift it over your head and let go.....what happens? It drops. Every single time it will drop, right? Yes. Is there anything in the world that would convince you that it would not drop but float in mid air? Ofcourse not. You have put your complete trust in the fact that everytime you let go of the keyboard it will fall to the floor.
This is exactly how Satan works.
He will hide behind something you never question or doubt. You sceptics start with naturalism. You start with the assumption that your reasoning abilities are true. This is where Satan starts his trickery. He knows your path of logic and reason. This allows him to put things in this path to distort the Truth and to lead you the wrong way.
You study history only to find out that Christianity is seemingly nothing more than another religion and another Savior. You dismiss it as mythology and folklore and you don't look back. I mean, why should you believe in Jesus? He's nothing but 1 of many Saviors that died for the Sin of mankind, why is he so special? There are millions of other gods and goddesses. Hell there are many Satans and Hells. Why believe in the Bible? I mean, it's stupid to believe in the Biblical Hell, Satan, Savior and God but reject all the rest. Right?
WRONG!
Satan has put these things in your path of logic and reason to lead you astray. Purposely he sends fall prophets (both before and after Jesus lived) to preach a similar gospel to Jesus. So when people living now look back all they see is Christianity caught in a sea of other similar religions.
But you will never question it. You will never think ''Maybe gravity doesn't cause the keyboard to hit the ground.'' You will never think outside your own reasoning abilities. You will never consider that it's possible that we are in the middle of a war between Good and Evil and we must choose which one we follow. You will never consider that Satan left behind the fossils that supposely ''prove'' evolution. Nope, you will accept your own logic and reasoning abilities blindly and never question them. If you don't question Satan you can never defeat him.

Here are the problems with your post.
1) you have yet to establish that Satan exists. Thus any claim that reason and logic are his tools is meaningless until you do.
2) It is quite ironic that someone who claims that logic and reason are tools of the devil uses a computer, which is a creation of logic and reason, to post those claims.

This is a very critical error on your part. You are trying to imagine God in humanistic terms. You call Him Evil based on what you believe to be Evil. In reality, Evil is simply not harm or pain, it is rejecting your very Creator. You see if God does something Good (like punishing sinners for eternity) you interpretation is that He is Evil. You are wrong. Your simple human brain cannot comprehend the complex nature of our Creator.

To answer your question no God did not design us with these reasoning abilities. You see, when the Original Parents turned away from God the human race was infected with Sin which gave birth to logic, death, destruction, pain, evil and disease. The Original Parents did not need logic or any other pseudo-Truth because they were with God and knew He was the answer.

If you pick up your Bible, turn to Luke 6:31 and read “as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise..”.....what happens? Every single time it will say that, right? Yes. Is there anything in the world that would convince you that it would not? Of course not. You have put your complete trust in the fact that every time you read that book it will say “as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise".
This is exactly how Satan works.
He will hide behind something you never question or doubt.
It’s really supposed to say, “Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.”, like Psalms 137:9, but each time you read the New Testament Satan clouds your mind and you accept it willingly. Tricky demon, making all those Christians into sissy baby-coddling liberal types.

Give me the right tools and I can show you evidence for an atom. I can make hypotheses that can only be true if atoms exist and then demonstrate those hypotheses to be true. If you can do the same for Satan and I will accept his existance. Stories from the 'Weekly World News' do not demonstrate Satan's existance any more than the movie 'Star Wars' demonstrates the existance of Darth Vader.

It doesn't matter. It is still a product (probably the ultimate product, to date) of reason and logic. And you calim that these things are tools of the devil and thus bad. Therefore computers are evil, as is modern medicine, and any other sort of technology, now that I think about it.

Oh, and there is YET ANOTHER inconsitancy in the whole Christian mytholgy thing.
God supposedly sacrifced his son to 'pay for our sins'. Yet God and Jesus are supposedly the same being and he just got up three days later and went back to heaven.
Now, perhaps you and I have different ideas of what 'sacrifice' means, but no diety in history, not even the God of the old testament has ever (as far as I know) defined a sacrifice as torturing something, but not really killing it. The old testament God did not ask for sheep to be sacrificed by torturing them then knocking them unconscious so they'd be up and walking around in a few hours. And for a diety to come down, be killed and then get up and go back to heaven in three days, that's pretty much the same thing.
And if God set the rules (which he had to have done, if he created the universe and all), why did he set it up so that someone had to 'pay the price' four our so-called sins anyway.
Your God makes no sense.

"Rationalism debunked"? You may be collecting skeptics' heads, 1inC, but I'm collecting your oxymorons (see, another report of an atheist having higher morals than a Christian- must be true). Please tell me you live in some poverty-stricken third-world backwater and you've only just heard of the English language. Like Arkansas. Do you live in Arkansas?
I'm further impressed by how your "god" exuses your fundamental laziness. Education is of the devil, so you don't need to exert any effort- just sit down and shut up. Do what the priest says Jimmy; lie back and think of Jesus.
I'm glad your daughters escaped the morass of ignorance and hate you wallow in. Seriously. If you are the measure of a "good Christian", I'll go to hell with a song in my heart and be "consumed forever" in joy.
Of course I won't, because it's all just a story in a book. A book badly in need of an editor, and the worse historical fiction I've read.

Then ther is that matter of what you define as the first computer. Charles Babbage created his "difference engine" in the 19th century. I don't know about his religious proclivities, but he was a scientist and a mathematician, and since math is nothing but applied logic, he was obviously a tool of the devil, by 1inChrist's logic.

When you can show any of those to be anything more than a bunch of unsubstantiated claims, you might be on to something. That hasn't been done so far.
And that's the thing about science. Science, unlike religion, does not claim to have all the answers. Let's pick something at random off your list. Something provable, like.......psychics. If it were proven that psychic's could do what they claimed, all it would mean is that science would then have to look at HOW it was done and incorporate that into any future theories.

My wife was just diagnosed with pleurisy. She is in extreme pain and is doped up on vacatin. I would believe you if you healed her. It has to be in less than 4 days as that is the normal recovery time.
edited to correct the spelling of pleurisy.

I have come to a conclusion about 1-Inch-Christ:
He's an actor. The character he is playing here is crafted and fraudulent. There are major inconsistencies in his dumber-than-dirt-Christian persona, but I'm not going waste time cataloging them all into a case to demonstrate it.
In short, he's an exeperienced button-pushing troll --- and I suspect this isn't his first trip through this particular forum.
I won't be taking the bait any longer....I've never been fond of baloney anyway.

You can't just drop out a date and claim it as a prophecy, because you could then claim ANYTHING that happens on that date as a 'hit'. That's a Lucianarchy trick (hmmmm........). What specifically do you claim will happen on Oct. 29, 2004?
As for the faith healing. I have a chronic illness. I won't say what but I will tell you that barring surgery (which is unnecessary at this point) or a miracle it will never go away. Heal it. I will have it checked on in December, so you have that long.

You have put your complete trust in the fact that everytime you let go of the keyboard it will fall to the floor.
This is exactly how Satan works.
He will hide behind something you never question or doubt. You sceptics start with naturalism. You start with the assumption that your reasoning abilities are true. This is where Satan starts his trickery. He knows your path of logic and reason. This allows him to put things in this path to distort the Truth and to lead you the wrong way.
Hey there 1 in C,
I've been reading some of your posts on the board and I must admit I have chuckled a few times to myself in reading. Your logic is so grossly fallacious it cannot even be called logic. It is utter chaos. Chaos that you tailor very specifically, with hints of logic here and there, in order to convince your audience that what you say is true.
Your persistance in your methods demonstrates a lack of willingness to reason. Heck, you seem to abandon reason all together unless it is contained in the context of biblical scripture. Somehow, you believe that the same rules of reason that apply in a biblical context are suddenly false when applied to anything else remotely related to the Bible.
I am forced to wonder how on earth you interract with regular people in society. Do you harass and insult your co-workers the way you you do the people here? Does every conversation you have with someone end in them being degraded and tricked into accepting your "unique" interpretation of the Bible? Surely you can't be right about everthing.
Another thing is sure, almost everything you say places more ridicule on "your weird religion" in the minds of the people here. Of course, a lot of people here know the true Christian religion is more reflective of a way of life and the human character rather than dogmaticism. Your intentions may be good, but your methods are absolutely useless in aiding people to your religion.
Of course, I am sure you realise all this being a man of God and I am sure you have your own reasoning behind your bizarre methods of conversion through insults and illogical arguements.

God does not heal everybody. Why? I don't know why but He doesn't. However I have witnessed healers heal people (even unbelievers) live.

I actually believe you are well intentioned but your approach is not sound. Some possibilities:
Was he/she really ill?
Was he/she healed? Assuming there was no deliberate dishonesty, feeling PERFECT the next day could be 1) a placebo response, 2)desire to please you, 3) a normal variation in the state of the illness
Many people who are "healed" on the spot by faith healers, in the end, really are not healed at all. They are caught up in the moment...a strong desire for healing plus strong emotions can lead to a seeming cure that does not last.
Seriously, GM mentioned Benny Hinn...I suggest you read about his supposed healings.
I work with the terminally ill at the end of life. I can't tell you the damage that is done by the "if you have enough faith, your prayers for healing will be answered" approach does. So much guilt in the survivors; so much disappointment in the dying. Terrible.

I know it's old, and I haven't read past this point - I couldn't pass this one up.
After Jesus died and was reborn, He descended into the Pit and released all the souls that were in Hell, threw down Satan, and reigns eternally over Hell. Among those released were Adam and Eve themselves, forgiven of their original sin, along with the rest of humanity.
... or have you never read the Scripture that tells us this? Granted, it's in some of the texts excluded from the KJV, but surely you aren't basing your belief in God on one Reader's Digest Condensed Scripture, are you?

It works. A few months backed I healed someone on a Christian message board.
1inChrist, can you post a link to there? I’d be interested in reading the posts regarding this event you describe.

And I think it says a lot that a few years ago I would have been afraid to type such a thing, for fear of being SMOTED!! None of that nonsense now.

1IC, if logic and reason are tools of the Devil, then it follows that necessarily any product of logic and reason are likewise tools of the Devil. Therefore, you are sinning by using any such products - such as medicine, electricity, computers, cultivated food, manufactured clothing and goods... Get the picture? Sinner. God hates you. Burn in Hell.

1inC demonstrates such an understanding in critical thinking. :rolleyes: I'd be insulted if anything he said actually applied to anyone on this board, other than a few select trolls. Fortunately it doesn't.
I used to have time to argue with people like 1inC, but experience has taught me there is really nothing I can do to open a mind once it has been closed so tightly. All the socratic questioning in the world is only going to amount to "Devil!" and other hoohaw in the eyes of a believer. People like 1inC experience some sort of confusion between opinion and anything else, as if everything could be defined by opinion. Things like critical thinking just look like another opinion no different than his, so what is true about the way 1inC thinks must be true about everyone else, which is a kind of dogmatic reasoning where things are assumed to be true without actually knowing or drawing well-supported conclusions. In other words, 1inC's knowledge is limited to what other people tell him, and only people he already trusts, and it will never progress beyond this point. You can see this in his posts, where he continues to regurgitate the same strawmen all over the boards, indicating that he has not even adapted his arguments to the criticism he recieves. And when everybody criticizes the same points, it looks like we are doing what he is. He is like a chicken trained to play tic-tac-toe, having memorized responding moves to every square on the board, and here we are trying to teach him how to write. Do not let him and others like him close your mind to the religious, otherwise you will sink to his level, and he will beat you at his own game.

It may be worth noting that last night, after telling my staunchly southern Baptist friend about 1inC and his mystical healing powers, he replied, "Maybe he's off his medication."

It should be apparent to all that NoneinChrist is a badly made spoof of a fundy Xtian..the whole New Age witchcraft believing, Jesus rejecting shtick has unravelled pretty completely by now.
Anyone seriously attempting to engage him as though he were a Christian is just feeding the sock puppet *and* the troll.

So you say. But if you do lie how do I know you aren't lying about not lying. :p
I didn't turn away from "him". I realized that there was no more reason to believe in Christ than there was any other deity. Christianity's history is replete with the same "made by humans" stamp as every other religion. I also realized that Christianity made no sense and the rules it set forth couldn't possibly have been set forth by a compassionite, intelligent, loving creator. Since there is NO evidence of any god, why act as if there is? I am much happier now.
I would think that according to your belief, it doesn't matter if YOU know who we are talking about. Just say, "God, please heal the people we were talking about on the JREF." If he's omniscient, he knows who you're asking about right? Or is this like a magic spell where you have to name the person for it to work?
Your statement about atheists could not be more wrong. Plus, it's intellectually dishonest and insulting.
I used to believe in Santa Claus. I grew up and so I don't any more. Same thing with Christ.

Is it just me, or do 1inC's thread dissolve into silliness very quickly?
It smells like a Troll to me, Lisa. The arguments are so incredibly lame at the outset of each thread and then quickly dissolve into the silliness you pointed out. There's no depth of thinking here at all. It feels like some pimply-faced, oily-haired adolescent trying to see how much of our time he can waste.

People like that actually do exist, sad as it is. Arguments won't help, since he'll just scream "Satan" every time, and also since I sincerily doubt he understands most of them. So I agree that it's a waste of time, but I don't think he's either a troll or a sock puppet.

Christian fundamentalists who don't think that Jesus is their Savior are a new one on me...1inChrist is the first one I've run across, so I'll stick with the 'manufactured' hypothesis.

It could be that The Holy Spirit is a poor debator, and incapable of creating an argument that convinces anyone. Otherwise, it means that no argument will work on the people that post here, and that The Holy Spirit was wrong to bring you here in the first place. Either way, it does not look good for the knowledge and power of said spirit.

If you are serious, please submit an application first. You can find one here:
http://www.randi.org/research/challenge.html
Make sure you follow the directions THOROUGHLY or your claim will be ignored. Randi suggests that you conduct a proper double-blind test before you begin, and only continue to the million dollar challenge if those results support your claims. If you simply state that you can heal others over the internet, and do not provide any evidence from testing or any information on proper observance of the effects of your healing, your application will be denied.
If you are having trouble, we can help you design a scientifically valid double-blind procedure and help you with related issues if you get lost or stuck. It might even be a good idea to submit your results to us before Randi. It won't "prove" anything to us, but if there are any inherent flaws with your experiment, we are likely to notice them and prevent an even greater embarassment.

Well, the phantom pain is annoying and has been keeping me up a bit lately (the cut end of the collarbone is very sensitive), but other than that I'm not bad.
Luckily, they found the tumours in my lungs before I could feel them so they aren't painful. I'm still waiting for surgery (darn Canadian waiting lists), but when that finally happens I'll know what's going on for sure. There is a chance that one of the tumours is involved with the lung wall and will not be able to be removed (don't ask me for details on why that is, it's just what I've been told), but they won't know for sure until they look.
If I've been cured by God, then the next time i get an x-ray (before the surgery) nothing will show up. I won't know until then.

I had twenty years of having the GLORIOUS news of His Sacrfice spread on me like a jam... while tied to ignorance and waiting for the ants to consume me. After trying various demoninations of the One True Wordtm, I realized that they all conflicted, none answered life's real questions, and that seeing reality doesn't transmit for a person wearing blinders several inches thick (one Bible for each eye).
You spread the news all you want, but I've been there and definitely know much, much, much more on the subject than you could imagine. I've read the Bible, studied it, studied its history, studied the non-canonical texts, studied christianities growth, evolution, changes, seen the results of its use and influence - and I'm the lowliest of the knowledgeable in the field. Drawing and quartering me while crushing me with a 1-ton rock and poking my skin with ten thousand rusty needles wouldn't cause me to rebuke my escape from superstition and ignorance.

You are wrong. Your simple human brain cannot comprehend the complex nature of our Creator.
He accuses Marquis de Carabas of thinking in 'humanistic' terms in dealing with God. Now, maybe I'm wrong (help me out if I am, please) but doesn't 'humanistic' sort of imply that he's imprinting human qualities and attributes on The Notorius G.O.D? Well, if that's the case, isn't 1inChrist doing the same thing? Saying 'Him' and referring to The Original Godster in somewhat human terms?

The whole purpose of this thread was you dealing in absolutes, I'd gathered. You made it a point to state emphatically that you were right, and we were wrong, period, end of discussion. That you were so strong in your belief that nothing could possibly shake it.
And, now you're asking us to 'assume' what you say is true. Well, what about you 'assuming' that there isn't any God? Or Satan? How do you wrap your head around the assumption that everything really doesn't have a bearded guy on one end, and a guy with horns and a pitchfork on the other?
Assuming, to me, means that you're not all that sure on your convictions.
