Thread Name: BS: the religious case against belief
Subject: RE: BS: the religious case against belief
The power and intrigue of exploration and wonder will strengthen every field of inquiry.

Like an infinite fractal tree, every answer branches into new questions and answers.
example: Issac Newton's laws of dynamics.

The true believers manage to sell their one and only answer.
If someone made similar claims for food or love they would not have many followers. "I have the one true food you will ever eat again!" or "I have the one and only hug you will ever need in your life".

Now HOW do we help the true believer who just 5 years ago actually believed that God did speak to George Bush????????
Can he or she ever accept that they were decieved???
Will helping them overcome harmful dogma, truely help them?
