[Vision2020] Mere Christianity!

[Joe Campbell]

Dear Doug,

My remark was based on a comment from Mike Finkbiner who wrote: "A lot of these arguments [about firearms] are religious in nature, with people on both sides more focused on emotion than fact." 

I am religious, so it is doubtful that I would hold the view that "one who has mere religious beliefs is fuctioning on emotion and not facts." Nor did I say it. 

Of course, you just did say it, though about other religions than your own. Apparently, on your view there is nothing wrong with insulting the faithful per se. It is just wrong when insults are directed at YOUR faith. A very convenient set of moral principles you have!

Best, Joe

Joe,

Is this the sum total of your understanding. ..."something more than 
mere religious beliefs; maybe they are based on facts rather than 
emotion. "

Do you think and/or believe that one who has mere religious beliefs is 
fuctioning on emotion and not facts? Then you truly are mislead because 
the Christian faith is based upon nothing but facts, ie Jesus died and 
was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day. These are not 
based upon feelings and emotion. These three things are based upon 
facts. eye witness accounts of seeing Christ before during and after 
his death. All of the other religions of the world are based upon 
feelings and emotion but not Christianity.

Doug!
