What's the cause...

I say it offers people a way out from the constraints of ideology, religionist dogma and its purported "authority", and from turning speculation into a crutch, and indeed turning any of these things into [or allowing them to become] "a meaning of life", which I think is rather tragic. Doubt is healthy. It is positive. It is life-affirming. It is the essence of informed free will.

If you knew a truth, would you have doubt about it?

The Biblical and Logical order of the Divine decrees are:
a. Create all mankind
b. Permit the fall of man
c. Provide salvation
d. Leave the reprobate or unbeliever to their just condemnation
e. Elect and predestine believers only.

How is that in any way an answer to the post you are replying to?

What you posted doesn't answer this question and doesn't appear to have any clear
meaning, context, or point of it's own.


So, would you like to explain what you are talking about and how it relates to the discussion
at hand?
