[quote author=nferyn link=topic=31314.msg722121#msg722121 date=1164481091][/quote] Simply because you have to accept the basic elements of a religion by faith. It blocks that belief from rational enquiry.Christianity is not rational. Have you really studied the sources of that experience? Basic research in sensory perception and memory have shown both to be extremely open to suggestion and error.Very true. Nonetheless it does not discount the fact of such an experience. They're intellectually lazy because they refuse to examine the basis for their beliefs. they rather shelter their beliefs and rationalise them. That's being intellectually lazy in my mind.Christianity is irrational. Rationality is a parameter defined by human experience. Anything outside that is irrational. If it is real, it should be empirically verifiable. Either through direct observation or through rigorous inference. No theist has been able to do that yet. The experiental [i]evidence [/i]only exists in the mind of the one experiencing it and can easily be explained through natural neurological mechanisms. These materialistic explanations are far more convincing, as they have proper scientific basis in the material world.The main argument against Theism is the frequent inability of its adherents to provide evidence that can be interpreted in a material, or empirical context. Whether these experiences are real or not cannot be determined solely by empirical science, unless "reality" only refers to phenomena whose existence can be proven with the methods of scientific investigation currently available. There is basically only one form of logic. There is neither a theistic, nor an atheistic logic. Faith separates religious truth-claims from rational inquiry and makes them immune to logic.Faith is irrational and illogical. Invalid argument from authority. When it comes to their religious beliefs, they were intellectually lazy, even though the argument from design still had some meat on the bones in during their lifetime, something the religious can no longer hide behind nowadaysPerhaps so, if intellectual laziness refers to their faith which, by definition, is irrational. |
