“I do not expect that the mere fact that I was once an evangelical apologist and now see things differently should itself count as evidence that I must be right. That would be the genetic fallacy. It would be just as erroneous to think that John Rankin must be right in having embraced evangelical Christianity since he had once been an agnostic Unitarian and repudiated it for the Christian faith.” ThinkingShouldFactsWould BeChristianChristianityAtheismEvidenceMerePositive AtheismAgnosticChristian FaithEvangelicalFallacyUnitarian Author:Robert M.

“My point is, however, that churches do promote beliefs that would more appropriately find a place in a context of intellectual debate. They wind up cheerleading for highly dubious opinions on historical, scientific, and metaphysical matters, simply on the bases of emotional preference and the inertia of tradition. They demand conformity to these beliefs, and if you cannot swim with the current, then, well partner, maybe you'd be happier in another pool, another lake in fact, the one ablaze with burning sulfur.” IfsWellsMatterFactsBeliefChurchOpinionEmotionalWindDemandIntellectualTraditionBasesHistoricalCurrentsPartnersDebateBurningLakesSwimConformityPoolMetaphysicalPreferenceInertiaDubiousCheerleadingSulfur Author:Robert M.
