The point is that the lefty religious views are no more rational.<br /><br />And the author is saying <i>"so what if it is?"</i> and I think poking a little at them with the blatant logical fallacy that the most hard-cor of them can believe that good and evil exist while at the same time not believing in a God.<br /><br />This is not a slam on Christians. It's a slap on the cheek to the Religious Left.philmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10385793223534322848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213291.post-19268162233006433532011-10-31T10:42:26.587-05:002011-10-31T10:42:26.587-05:00Speaking as and evangelical...

I appreciate the author's pat on the head but...<br /><br />"...evangelical irrational beliefs are utterly benign."<br /><br />And..."If evangelicals come with some views I find irrational"<br /><br />Irrational according to Google means not logical or reasonable. In other words without any evidence to support it.<br /><br />Before you judge us irrational for our views on a young earth have a look at the reasoning and evidence at some of these resources. <br /><br />http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2005/06/01/evidence-for-young-world<br /><br />http://www.answersingenesis.org/PublicStore/product/A-Question-of-Age-Conference-on-Creation-the-Bible-and-Science,5633,229.aspx<br /><br />No one was around in the beginning recording scientific data, we concede, but the evidence is there to support our view. <br /><br />Remember, the author is taking the interpretation of those same liberal elites on science yet condemning them on everything else. It is these same elites that brought us global warming.<br /><br />I'm only asking that you have an honest look. Then you can call me/us irrational if you like.Whitehawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13655992902329694045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5213291.post-90436264065052256632011-10-27T01:20:24.868-05:002011-10-27T01:20:24.868-05:00Oh goody - my favorite blog behavior.

Some left-winger (or worse, a couple of them) getting smacked-down then moving the goalposts, going around and around and around with someone who's clearly got the upper hand on them, and otherwise refusing to concede the argument when he's clearly lost.<br /><br />Reminds me a little of the Iraq War, actually. The capital was in coalition hands, the dictator had been put on trial and hanged, the local forces were standing up and moving about. The war should have been over, as the enemy had clearly lost. And yet it continued to fight and fight and resist.<br /><br />Yeah, that's right. I just compared a couple of liberal trolls to the Ba'athist and Al Queda in Iraq. Yeah, I went there.Cylarnoreply@blogger.com
