Personally, something like Warhol is uninspiring and gimmicky. I understand why people thought it brilliant for its time, but its not brilliant anymore Years ago I thought that as well, but now I view Warhol as a sort of visionary: and though the art-bidness has given him the stamp of "pop" I am no...

Ok, I really have nothing more to say on this. You certainly imply naturalistic inclinations (and Wm. James' pragmatism was itself leaning towards the empirical camp), but with typical post.mod. style, refuse to commit to anything. "If we subject everything to reason our religion will have nothing m...

Really the discussion of lies is misleading, as is the broad categorization that religion is all based on lies. Are you claiming no religious text is true except in metaphorical, anecdotal sense --and that any supernatural events/entities are impossible? That may be ( and I think it is). Or are you ...

"Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous. It is not knowledge, not content of feeling (for all content is admitted from the start, where a man comes to terms with life), it is not duty and not renunciation, it is not restriction: but in the infinite extent of the universe it is a directio...

in truth, neither follows logically. If some strange preacher were to ask two people to believe in a religion entitled Cult of the Flying Pig, and has a text claiming that pigs do indeed fly, and one chooses to join and believe in the cult (based on the premise that pigs do fly), and one doesn't, s...

To Kierkegaard I do not subscribe: if you read my passage more carefully you will note I'm attacking that "leap of faith," which is required of any of those who wish to be Christians. My point is that Scripture and religions in general are too irrational to warrant a belief in; thus, we should resis...

Are you saying then that for instance Scripture is untrue, a "lie" and thus simply metaphorical or poetic? How about religious entities such as a soul, God or afterlife etc. Those are lies as well? Or miracles in Bible or hindu /buddhist texts--true or just myths. If the miracles are all just myths ...
