I presume?
If so, it is indeed a distraction favored by some persons on both sides of the question; favored over moving on. A variation on the term "creative destruction" is appropriate, to describe the process of overcoming the stumbling block. That said, it could be that those who are in active rejection of the pre-critical, are a step closer to post-critical naivete. A small step, but possibly, a necessary one.

Originally posted by sonhousewhy would you presume to know what we discussed? Most of my colleagues reject theology based on pre-critical naivete. You would know that about me if you wern't so blinded by your irrational hatred of theists
Didn't you leave something out of that discussion? Shouldn't it have read "Actually as discussed *and rejected* in a recent study with colleagues. Interesting link though".
Originally posted by DowardTo tell you the truth, I'd really rather not know what pre-critical naivete means. lol

Whats more rational, being a theist or atheist? 🙄

It is not theism I hate. It is organized religion. There is a huge difference.

edit: If you want to know just ask. For the record I am theologicaly liberal and Christologicaly conservative.

Crusades, Intifada, it;s all the same. No god would put up with that kind of behavior without coming down hard on the participants if indeed there was a god.
That kind of behavior without a word from a god is a pretty strong indication to me there is no such thing and the entire religion idea is just the result of human intelligence, no need for supernatural inspiration.
Human intelligence alone is powerful enough to come up with thousands of years of pithy wisdom.
