Am just hoping someone will be saved from the likes of Cerullo, Hinn, Oral Roberts, Swaggard etc. And sure enough, I am an advocate for scientific rationalism. I think religion (xianity and all religions) poses a threat to our civilisation. |

Its those dat dont believe dat need to be saved from ignorance!! Some pple never believe in divine healing until they need one themselves. . . |

Am just hoping someone will be saved from the likes of Cerullo, Hinn, Oral Roberts, Swaggard etc.Bros save yourself first, the others can take care of themselves. These guys you mentioned are not the problem, if you have a personal grudge against them, thats you cup of tea. You have not been appointed to decide if they are good or bad so back off. nd sure enough, I am an advocate for scientific rationalismNo wonder you dey vex with these people. I think religion (xianity and all religions) poses a threat to our civilisation.I agree with you to an extent though |

therationa: Please tell me in your own words what you mean by that statement in bold. I think it lacks merit. I want to know how! |

therationa: @therationa Scientific rationalism should be able to stand on its own as a complete system. If it has to survive by bashing the belief systems of other people, then it is a weak system and also a threat to our civilization. |

imhotep: Astronomy has triumphed over astrology as a way of understanding the cosmos. Today, you do not consult astrologer to determine the nature of stars in the cosmos. Religion will eventually go the way of astrology. |

therationa:@therationa Now you sound like a communist. Communists believed that religion is the opium of the people. Communist states are atheistic. Stalin headed communist Russia and is responsible for at least 20 million murders and the physicial destruction of over 3000 church buildings. This should also count as one of the achievements of rationality. |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by therationa(m): 11:25am On Feb 20, 2008 |
imhotep: Back to your old tactic again. Look at the title of this thread and let's discuss on topic. Otherwise, am out. |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by Nobody: 11:26am On Feb 20, 2008 |
therationa: @therationa Stop running away, face the music you started for once!!!! Your friend bawomol(o) will say you are copping out. |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by therationa(m): 11:28am On Feb 20, 2008 |
If you want to talk on this thread, lets talk on topic, please, please, please. There's a separate thread for the other stuff. |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by Nobody: 11:32am On Feb 20, 2008 |
therationa: @therationa You always fail to see the link -> 1) Rationalism is "any view appealing to reason as a source of knowledge or justification" 2) Atheism is based on rationalism 3) Communism is based on atheism (among other things) 4) Stalin was a communist 5) Over 3000 church buildings were demolished during the Russian revolution 5) Stalin murdered at least 20 million of his country men So, all rationalists [b]must [/b]claim Stalin as their elder brother and communist Russia as a [i]beautiful [/i]example of a state run on reason alone. |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by therationa(m): 11:37am On Feb 20, 2008 |
imhotep: Since you do not understand, I will start a separate thread, just so we can talk about Reason, Rationalism and faith. Please, leave this thread alone for discussion about faith healing and Cerullo |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by Nobody: 11:44am On Feb 20, 2008 |
therationa: @therationa You will be all alone on whatever new thread you are starting. Instead of tackling the core of issues, you are distracted by particular instances. BTW, do you think you are better than all these people you are lampooning |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by Nobody: 11:52am On Feb 20, 2008 |
@therationa Scientific rationalism does not believe in the supernatural. Now, you are trying to use the methods of[i] scientific rationalism[/i] to investigate the supernatural. Can you see the tight corner you have gotten yourself into? |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by therationa(m): 12:03pm On Feb 20, 2008 |
imhotep: I did not make a claim of superiority over these people, or any one else. I am simply saying, let's examine what they are claiming to be able to do. Why is their evidence? I have started a new thread to discuss you favorite subject, since you want to bash rationalism |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by Nobody: 12:06pm On Feb 20, 2008 |
therationa:@therationa Since your rationality does not believe in the supernatural, it should[b] remain silent [/b]about the supernatural. |
Re: Faith-healer And Evangelist, Maurice Cerullo, Investigated by therationa(m): 12:13pm On Feb 20, 2008 |
imhotep: OK, let's talk about this on the other thread. BTW, I submitted an article about the prophecy of the virgin birth for your review. I am still awaiting your response. Have you reviewed it yet? |

@huxley at the risk of contradicting myself i don't think "multiple wars, crusade, book burning, wicthhunts, persecutions, burning of libraries"can be said to be christian ideas if you consider christianity to be a way of life patterned on that of christ all these actions were taken by a political system and those who corrupted the original christian ideals but the true ideals which Christ showed forth-love for neighbours,turning the other cheek, respect for authority and a life void of offence toward God and man hardly seem to be a danger to me. |

imhotep:Poor logic. imhotep:More poor logic. Open another thread to discuss this. Do not worry that the thread will be empty. Open it first and responses will come. imhotep: imhotep:The so called "tight corner" is only imaginary. If someone says he does not believe in the supernatural and you proclaim some occurrence as supernatural, one cannot disprove claims of being supernatural by being quiet. Rather, careful inquiry may show the supposed occurrence to be completely natural indeed. In making your above argument, you are assuming that which you argue. Its a form of circular reasoning. Just because people call it supernatural does not mean it is. Ironically, it is in your best interest to have a supposedly supernatural occurrence investigated by the so called rational mind. |
