You may be just accepting his word for it that, while you're at work, he murdered zero ... people? dogs? what counts as "any _one_ for a dog. While you're feeding him, he's got food. He has no need to eat you. A better test would be not feeding him to a week or two. But yeah, he prolly secretly believes in doG..

    John was an honest broker. He truly was open minded and willing to concede he might not have been right about things.He didn't just furiously backpedal and make excuses to show he couldn't be wrong. I wonder now, a few years later, after agreeing there were two or three important things he hadn't considered if he ultimately.has changed his mind on the existence of a god and that the Bible is not a good reference for truth? Ultimately this was a pleasant conversation to listen to.

But seriously, your comparison of the Potter-verse is more apt than you might think; Theism is all about pretending. Just like believing the Potter-verse to be real involves a lot of pretending. In both cases, people are unsatisfied with the objective reality that confronts them and have decided to pretend that their prefered mythology is also real.

    I think that was a statement made by someone else on Carl’s behalf, after his death, as a description of his mindset. Either way, it’s a really bad quote because it paints this picture (whether intended or not) that belief in the absence of certainty is bad... which it isn’t. I recognize that knowledge doesn’t actually require absolute certainty, but considering that knowledge is a subset of belief, pitting them against each other gives that impression (that beliefs can only be the result of faith... which isn’t accurate). My interpretation here might be overly philosophical and pedantic, but the impression given I think can be a universal harm to those that take this quote at face value. Point being: make sure your beliefs are supported by sufficient evidence and all is good.

He does it...doesnt really care that he does it. Hes aware and does it. If someone on the other side did what he does, that consistently, I'd have issues with it.

And I'm glad he did - John seems like such a likable and friendly sort of dude, and clearly came in with good intentions of just have a good conversation - I think Matt going off on him the way he sometimes does would've been counterproductive and would've just damaged the goodwill and rapport they'd built with him throughout the call.

It just reeks of some man made nonsense . I've met 3 Christians in 25 years. It really is for the deluded. If one's been indoctrinated, raised into a religious family then fair enough however to 'find jesus' later in life... A mid life crisis I guess. It must be an emotional thing with them. This bronze aged bullshit really has to fade out. Wake up people! I'm yet to hear a case where one's life hasn't drastically improved when they have lost their faith.

    LoL, people find it easier to use GOD as an excuse to not be responsible. They were taught to believe, so it's safer to go back to that security. Once they step into reality, they don't have any tools to defend themselves. They were never given any tools to cope with reality. They don't want to be RESPONSIBLE. It's sad that people will choose to live their lives scared of going to hell and not one person walking on this planet has proven that there is a hell in the biblical sense. People will choose to fight the "right fight" just to be right. So when the topic of religion comes up and I say I don't believe until tangible proof is provided and I'm told something ridiculous like you need to believe, have faith blah, blah, blah... I become responsible by saying anything is possible or I don't know. But when I hear people using the Bible as proof, I simply ask " are you willing to throw your children in a pit of fire because your Bible is the word of God and it says to do so? Well, the moral of the story is you can't out do crazy so why bother. Life is to short to be weighted down by fears of a man made scare tactic. Grow some balls and question everything. Be responsible, it's so much easier.
