RIP Jack Chick

[Razgovory]

(and is a typical talking point of the New Athiest movement)?

I don't get it. It is kind of a joke they use but a talking point?

I mean I hate mass murderers and Fred Phelps hated mass murderers who were also gay so therefore Fred Phelps and I had a lot in common.

So, yes you and Fred Phelps did have a lot in common regarding criminal offenses.  Presumably, Fred Phelps and I agreed quite a bit on the criminal code.  Theft, murder, rape, etc.  But we were talking about religious viewpoints.  Hamilcar has expressed hatred for all religions.  Jack Chick expressed hatred for all religions except one.  I on the other hand, have nothing but love and happy fielding for the rest of humanity.

happy fielding

Been staying up late watching the world series?

[Hamilcar]

I think I do.

I'll bite: how do I have anything in common with a group of deluded people attacking other people over minor details of their delusions?

I stated that already.  Anti-Catholic.  A person with contempt for all religions differs from a person who has contempt for all religions but his own by hatred of only one religion.  So really, you only differ over the issue of one faith out of thousands.  On the others you are in agreement.

You don't see the crucial difference between the two?

No, I don't why don't you spell it out for me.

All religions are based on some fundamentally absurd and baseless explanations of the nature of the universe. Jack Chick hating Catholics is just part of his unfounded, irrational belief system. When I dismiss religious people, even if they target other religious peoples' ridiculous views, I come from a position of rationality, science and skepticism.

hamil, your belief in rationality and science is a religion, and therefore tribes, tribes everywhere

etc., etc.

Something something Ed Harris.

Yes, everything is just texts and their readings, there is no objective reality, life sucks, I'll go slit my wrists in a warm bath as I sip some cheap Côtes du Rhône.

You know, Jack Chick felt his views were completely rational as well, and could source just about anything he said to an appropriate Bible quotation.

The real similarity between the two of you is your absolute certainty in the correctness of your world view, and the inability give any credit or sympathy to the views of others.

Oh, stop it with the postmodern drivel. There is zero similarity between Chick's views and mine. Why? My world view is subject to revision given new and better data. Error correction if you will. Chick just has a book he thinks was written by the Creator of the Universe.

  Okay.  I'm sure all Logical Positivists feel that way.

As both a religious person and an engineer I don't see how that is true. But man do I get that alot: Science is wrong because QUANTUM MECHANICS.

What's fundamentally absurd and baseless about Taoism or Buddhism?
