Super!!!

Morgan,

Aren't you making a simple error in thinking here?  You equate belief with truth, which is clearly incorrect.  People believe all sorts of things that aren't true.  You know this - you think all religious people are wrong despite their beliefs.  What you BELIEVE about hell will do nothing to change its existence/non-existence; it is either a real place or its not.  In the interests of accurate thinking shouldn't you retitle this pic "If Islam is true....  If Christianity is true....  But if I am correct..."?

It's rhetorical, David.

Comment by David England on December 13, 2011 at 5:45am

Ah, yes, rhetoric...the art of persuading by using style as a mask for lack of substance...its sure is a great example of that!

Tsk. Tsk.  Selectively interpreting reality in a way that makes you feel good, even against a more rational explanation.  I guess the 'Christian' status in your profile is legit. =p

I'm not sure what you mean, Kris. Can you explain? In what way am I "selectively interpreting reality" here? Do you think the message of this poster is accurate?

The definition of 'rhetoric' at play in the context of my initial response.

Comment by David England on December 17, 2011 at 2:51am

If you think my definition is too uncharitable, Kris, that fine (I still think it's an apt description of this pic, though).  What is yours?

Comment by Kris Feenstra on December 17, 2011 at 3:08am

I'm afraid I can't tell if you are joking or not at this point.  If you are, then there's no sense typing an explanation.  If you are not, then I can humor your request.

Comment by David England on December 17, 2011 at 3:29am

Joking? Not at all. You took issue with the way I used your words and I just wanted to see what you actually meant.
