My argument is simple, the belief may be acquired, but the contents of the belief or what the belief consists of are separate from the belief (or lack...

I consider this a bad or false equivalency, at least as far as serious philosophical or theological arguments about the nature of god go. I think that...

I'd argue that it treats symptoms in isolation, which would be the biggest flaw. Akin to treating obesity without examing the patient's diet.

My belief is that God in theology refers to a universal supreme being, in this sense most world religions have a concept of such a being. So I wouldn'...

I'd have to disagree, as this would basically be asserting that there are no universals. (However, even then it's asserting the idea that "growing out...

My point is this would lead to absurdisms; obviously children are indoctrinated to a certain degree, and this isn't considered "wrong or bad" (e.x. mo...

As far as the law goes, it's predicated on harm or damages. (Not "pain" as some erroneously state; using "pain" as a measure for harm would also lead ...

This is a very touchy subject... As far as types of behaviors which are stereotypically viewed as "masculine" or "feminine", I believe the behaviors c...

Thank you, I tend to agree with that sentiment lately.

How do people think that formal religion as a business model will hold up in the information age? Some people may not visit their local church, but ma...

As far as "flawed", I believe everything is flawed, but I tend to shy away from "attacking the whole system" lately.

A difficult question to answer indeed. In practice though, I believe that ideologies or philosophies, or any system of axioms accepted on faith serves...

But that could apply to any belief, which is taught or indoctrinated into at a low-educational level (e.x. elementary school), including beliefs in th...

I believe in it, I won't argue on it, particularily if it's based on a reductionst argument or fallacy.

I agree, I've heard contradictory arguments on this one: 1. "All babies are atheist until indoctrinated into religion" 2. Religion is a childish belie...

I believe ways in which people live court exacerbate one's mental state, some evidence for this exists, such as how feeding or reinforcing negativity ...

I believe it is, to a degree - at least that one can react positively or negatively to the circumstances around them, even though the circumstances ca...

I think there are better and worse ways to do so, and that a true philanthropist, as opposed to just doing the 'bare minimum' or the 'first step' is a...

Wouldn't this mean Jesus is your highest authority, if you are following him?

I would simply counter the problem of evil with the problem of good: If the Devil exists: Is he able, but not willing? Then he is benevolent. Is he wi...

I don't believe in Tabula Rasa and consider it an archaic theory; with fields such as evolutionary psychology affirming that people just like animals ...
