scream-of-consciousness;
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
I haven't yet listened to all of "Two computer scientists ...," but I
have listened to Robert Spitzer's God
and Science
several times. Since most of the atheists I know seem to be
scientifically gifted (I am not), I suspect they'll find more in this
than I. BTW, Fr. Spitzer appears to be blind, but carries on
quite
well.
I find this so very fascinating. Perhaps it's because I am at the age to really want some reassurance of where I going "afterwards" - But, just because I have never had any "absolute proof" of the existence of a "Supreme Force" - An "All Powerful" being - I have never wavered in my faith that one doesn't exist. Why? Simple! How can you disprove something that you do not believe simply because you can't physically and/or mentally see, feel, hear or touch it? To me, that is the ultimate in cynicism and ignorance.
Oh boy! I just read the typo(Or, poor choice of my word) - I meant to say, "I have never wavered in my faith that one DOES exist." Man! Didn't that throw my comment in an entirely different light? SORRY!
PS:
Who the heck is Richard Dawkins? As though, by your pic, I really care.
