Response to some Articles by Dinesh D’Souza
I seem to do more writing on other people’s blogs than I do my own!
First, in response to a blog by Dinesh D’Souza: Pat Robertson and I discuss Atheism (Which is kind of like two fratboys discussing childbirth), 2 comments (1 response to another commenter, and the other to the article) Read more
No commentsResponse to “Godless Deliusion”
This is in response to an article written by Bruce Walker, “The Godless Delusion.”
Full disclosure: I read your article from a link on rationalresponders.com and I do disagree with a lot of your comments, but I’m not here to flame you.
I *do* agree with you that evil is the product of individual choice, but I disagree with the idea of “evil.” “Evil” is a label that we appropriate to an incident, act, person, etc. after the fact, in retrospect, and is entirely relative. Ex: Is it evil to kill someone? How about in war? If you’re defending your family? I will agree that there are some acts (such as rape) that are pretty much indefensible — there aren’t any situations where rape would be conscionable, for example. The attribution of “evil” to any act does not necessarily require the existence of God OR Devil/Satan. I understand that it’s your specific perception of reality, and we’ll just have to agree to disagree on that. Read more
