    Discuss.

    I was having a "debate" with some godbotherer who came knocking on my door, and instead of my usual of getting them to worship satan, I decided to be more confrontational. (What, me? :p )

    About halfway through I could see it in his eyes that he knew it was all bollocks and he was basically desperate for someone to convince him his rubbish was just that, so he could get some freedom.

    Then I realised that every other religious type I have ever met didn't really believe what they were shovelling either.

    So, do you think anyone really believes in religious teaching or am I right to claim that no one does?

    How can you say what a fish thinks? You are not a fish.

    Delusion is a human concept, and is culturally fluid. Do you have any idea how silly (and circular) your argument is becoming?

    Tosh.

    I don't need facts to show that religious families are not "fucking mental" as you put it, that aren't "broken" as you put it. And not that they sense things, they don't sense nothing. It's not like they can actually physical feel the presence of God. It's a spiritual thing.
    Now I am asking you, what facts have you got that prove these people are "fucking mental" and "broken" cos I know a lot of normal intelligent Christian people and families.

    The mere fact that the claim something exists that obviously doesn't is proof that they are insane. Simple.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    So they are mental and borken okey dokey.

    As there are no right or wrong answer in the world, I declare that Klintock is full of shit and he can't prove otherwise. :D
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    So if you think I am wrong we need an arbiter, a way of deciding who is correct.

    I reckon we look at observable, factual reality and see who is right.

    Oh, it's me.......what a surprise.

    My thoughts exactly. And you can't prove that they're all mental, can you?

    Yep. Easy.

    Do you believe that there is a god, even though you can produce no evidence?

    If the answer is yes, then we have a nutter. If the answer is no, then we don't have a religious person.

    I just used the DSM 4 criteria.

    You must be on about this:

    "Diagnostic criteria for 295.60 (Schizophrenia) Residual Type
    (cautionary statement)
    A type of Schizophrenia in which the following criteria are met:

    A. Absence of prominent delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, and grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior.

    B. There is continuing evidence of the disturbance, as indicated by the presence of negative symptoms or two or more symptoms listed in Criterion A for Schizophrenia, present in an attenuated form (e.g., odd beliefs, unusual perceptual experiences)."

    I think Schizophrenics pluck odd beliefs from nowhere like there's little green aliens living in planet momo that's hiding behind the moon or something. Religious people have the scriptures, testament. What it all comes down to is belief that the Bible or whatever their book is or whatever scriptures they read, is the truth, the word of God. It's not schizophrenia.

    Do you know what a delusion is, clever clogs?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Mass schizophrenia is still schizophrenia.

    Only that so many people have the same loony beliefs stops them from being medicated as the insane people they are.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

    You have toruble grasping the concept of the unknown!
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    No i don't.

    It's unknown.

    As such it's stupid to believe in suppostion about it.

    A delusion is a firmly held false belief which is held despite evidence to the contrary. However, it is dependent on the cultural context.

    Who is more deluded: the Englishman who believes that God exists, or a man who doesn't believe England exists?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Or the guy who believes that culture exists.

    The facts don't change dependant on belief.

    If i was the only person on the face of the earth (which I am not btw) who didn't believe that england existed, we would refer to material reality to find out if i was right.

    So, we check if england exists in material physical reality. Annnnd no, it doesn't. So everyone else is incorrect.

    Religious people have scriptures and the Bible to rely on.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    What is the bible, factually?

    Just words written on paper.

    What is scripture, factually?

    Just words written on paper.

    Does writing things down on paper make them true?

    Yes it does, Noddy and Big Ears have just driven passed my house. :rolleyes:
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    How can you prove then that William the Conquerer invaded England in 1066?
    How can you prove George Washington was born on Feb 22nd 1732?
    How can you prove anything?

    it makes them true when archeologists use the bible to find cities that people have refused to believe exist apart from in the bible.
    did you know that pontius pilate only existed in scripture until the twentieth century ...when they finaly uncovered stuff about him carved in stone.
    the bible ...three and a half thousand years ago ...the only people the only writtings ...who stated that the world was round ...there are many truths thatyou choose to ignore or ridicule.

    Given the difficulty of proving things from the past that may have actually happened, could you answer me why even older scripts are proof of something something as massively unlikely as the existence of God?

    Right. So we cgeck the facts in the bible against the real world and where the bible and the real world coincide we say the bible is factually accurate. When the bible is factually inaccurate, you dismiss it.

    So the bible says there is an all powerful god - we check, find there isn't, move on. Simple.

    I didn't say it proves the existence of God. I'm just saying religious people have something they can relate to like the Bible. They're not just randomely saying there's a big man in the sky looking down. They're not delusional schizophrenics.

    So obeyng a book is less delusional than obeying an imaginary friend?

    How about if someone was obeying the blue peter annual 1976?
