OgreMkV: I find it laughable that you would quote J-Dog and then ask if  I'm going to discuss this subject in an adult manner. Clearly discussing things in an adult manner isn't a requirement to be part of this group. But to answer your question simply, yes. I don't need two millstones around my neck.

I find it laughable that you are not engaged in discussion on a discussion forum.

I find it laughable that you are asking a group of mostly atheists about who you should go to for information on religious psychology (most modern web browsers have this thing called a 'search bar').

I find it laughable that you claim to want an adult conversation, yet have not yet begun to do so.  (In practice not concept.  I do think it's possible to have an adult conversation about unicorns using the criteria I described originally).

I find it laughable that you have pledged to not lie about this production, yet refuse to admit you lied about your previous production.

I find it laughable that your religion must base its entire existence (not to mention recruitment efforts) on lies.

I find lots of things laughable... yet I'm still willing to have the conversation, I haven't found anyone on from the fundamentalist Christian side who is.

Kevin - And you still haven't discussed why we or anyone, should treat "hell" any more seriously than we do "leprechauns and unicorns".

Awwwwwwwwww. Kevvy Wevvy is having a snit.

1) Talk about something serious and you might get serious conversation.

2) Don't lie, misrepresent, and slander innocent folks and you might get people treat you nicely.

You've already failed 2), you're failing 1).

Surely a Big Important Movie Maker like you knows how to contact Dan Dennett (for one example). Hell*, even I know how to contact Dan Dennett, and I'm a total nobody. I'm sure Prof Dennett has a few ideas about who you could contact. How about Hector Avalos? There you go, two names for you. No charge. Two names you would already know had you bothered to educate yourself beyond the "Fundy Basement" level.

And yet you come to a minor website full of nasty meanies (and nobodies as you are fond of reminding us) when you could pick up the phone/contact serious people like Wes etc individually. Gosh, it's almost like your claimed motives aren't anything resembling your real ones....curiouser and curiouser. Could it be you are in fact a disingenuous, sanctimonious, dishonest, intellectually vacuous, pious fraud? Oh wait, yes it could.

As for "discussing things in an adult manner", why do you assume you are worthy of that level of engagement? You've yet to demonstrate you can do it yourself. Remember "Expelled"? We do. A Riefenstahl-esque piece of misleading propaganda, chock full of lies and misrepresentations if there ever was one. Hell**, even old Leni had some talent, you....clearly not so much.

Now grow either a spine, or some reasonable sense that your former production was grossly and deliberately misleading (but I repeat myself), and then you might be worthy of some tiny scintilla of serious treatment. Until then...TEH MOCKERY! (Which is fun, sorry)

I may find suitable LOLcats when I find the time.

I wonder if Kevvo is capable or willing to discuss his claim that the existence of reason, and the human capacity for it, somehow proves the existence of his deity?

That at least strikes me as a serious topic, unlike hell (or its lesser cousin, heck). Ok so it's a well refuted claim, but I can just about see my way to believing Kevvo might not be aware of that. Reading is clearly not his strong suit.

It's actually kind of surprising that "this guy" would go that route.

The normal fundy tactic is to deny that reason is the only tool we have for figuring things out.  Instead, they also claim 'revelation' as a method for figuring things out.

So, umm... what's-your-face... do you deny revelation and accept reason as the only method for finding out things about the universe

-or-

Do you accept revelation and all the problems, misconceptions, confusion, and interpretation problems that it causes... not to mention that there is no evidence that revelation comes from God, any god, or anywhere other than the fallible mind of a single human?

Which is it please.  Once we know that, then we'll know exactly how to discuss things regarding 'hell' with you.

I mean, if you think reason is totally useless, then there's nothing anyone can ever do to help you.  Although I will insist that you destroy any tools developed by reason (unless you are a hypocrite).

If you think reason is OK and revelation has problems, then we should easily be able to convince you that 'hell' only exists in the minds and philosophy of Christians and the only bearing it has on the universe is how it makes others act (which, of course, is the entire point, to control other people).

* Yes, there is snark in here.  If you refuse to consider the question because of the snark, then you are much too thin-skinned to hang around here.  If you refuse to consider appropriate questions because they were asked in a 'mean' way, then I would encourage you to return to your church and stay there.  The real world is much to violent for you.

However, if you choose to respond to the questions, answer them, with approrpiate citations, then we can have a real discussion and the level of snark will probably drop.

The choice is up to you.  Your actions totally determine how you will be treated.  Respect is earned, not given.

If we (well, you) don't trust the outcome of reason, how do you propose we go about refuting this?  Wait for revelation?

It's not nonsensical, your 'argument' is nonsensical.

1) Dawkins uses reason to argue against God being a good thing.
2) If he used reason, then he disproved his own point.

Which of those makes no sense?  (hint, it's not the first one)

Why don't you run through the logic of how you arrived at the conclusion that using reason disproves a conclusion based on... well... reason.

While you are at it, you might want to read my post about other methods of knowing (of which there aren't any) and answer that question as well.

So far, I've seen several questions asked of you, but you refuse to answer.  So, Louis and J-Dog are correct, if you won't talk as an adult... all we're left with is humor.

There may be some grammatical confusion somewhere in there. Kevin, could you please rephrase this so everyone (including non-US citizens) can get a feel of what you mean? I'm sorry but I feel there's something in there I don't get, because it makes no sense to me...

If Dawkins is right... about evolution...
and evolution rewards understanding reality, planning (frog leading fly to hit it, Komodo dragon waiting for tourists), etc....
it would seem that evolution would not support reason only if the world itself were not reasonable.

Do you think there are "Rules of Right Reason" that are independent of the world? Can you mention one?

A problem with this argument (among a few I might add), Kevin, is that it assumes that tools have qualities requiring trust as opposed to parameters in which they can be validly operated. Why would you assume such? Does a hammer or a saw require trust? No, they require training and skill to use and some idea of why the tool would be useful for a given task. Reasoning/logic is no different - it is a tool for determining whether a given person's thought process or concept accurately holds to a given set of rules. The problem many creationists have with the concept of reason is they presume reason defines the rules. It doesn't. Repeatability, consistency, and predictability define the rules and those rules we refer to as "reality".

So in essence, your problem with Dawkin's argument is that you don't think that his tool can be used reliably to assess the rules that make up your reality. Basically that's like arguing that hammers aren't valid tools because you believe that milk should make a good nail.  

Hate to break it to you, Kevin, but that would be your problem, not his.

Not to mention that the claim that if we can't trust arguments based on reason, then we wouldn't be able to trust that argument, either, since it's allegedly based on reason.

My thought process: If what we refer to as reason is nothing but the product of chance + necessity, then the outcome of our reasoning process couldn't be anything more than the same--a product of chance plus necessity. Therefore, the things we refer to as thoughts and arguments are of no more consequence than than the process in our body that manufactures insulin. I'm not saying that's how I think. I just see it as the logical consequence of an atheistic point of view. Put another way: If chance + necessity are the only forces at work in the universe shaping life and everything else we see around us (another way of saying random mutation plus natural selection), you can't sneak anything else in and pretend that the thoughts in your brain are a product of anything that would give them significance beyond what you ascribe to them. So why give credence to them? Why feel passionately about them?

I guess my point is, I hear a lot of people espousing an atheistic point of view but very people actually living out the logical consequences of that point of view. Even Will Provine, who has done as good a job as any of following things through to their logical conclusions, does not seem to live according to his espoused worldview.

But I'm off topic. This thread is supposed to be about hell.

Your reasoning maybe the product of improbability and need leading to your perception of an existential angst.

But even a dog can figure out how to cross a busy road road without being hit by a car, many however get hit.

Your powers of reasoning don't seem to be much use why don't you take up something more suitable?

Okay, that was sort of English... are you saying nihilism is the only logical consequence of atheism?

We're still social animals, and subject to the drives and reactions and values that helped us survive as such.  

Just because we don't see the point in believing in your imaginary friend doesn't mean we can't love our families. Can you not grasp that?

As for "reason", again: because it works! The volcano blew because magma forced its way through the earth's crust, not because we didn't sacrifice a virgin.

I hear a lot of people espousing an atheistic point of view but very people actually living out the logical consequences of that point of view.

Kevin,
If by that you mean a random spree of murder and mayhem whenever the mood strikes, then, well, why don't we meet up some time and I can tell you all about it?

Seems to me the people who should know best about "logical consequences" and hell are the child abusing priests and yet they still do it.

Perhaps it's because in your religion you can be forgiven at the drop of a hat? So "hell" is something for non-believers, whatever the believer themselves has done.

So stick it up your fundament, liar boy.
