Garrison’s (deluded) World Pt. 2
I'm barely through the introduction to part 2 "Reason and the New Philosophy of the Non-Rational" of Garrison's The Irrelevance of Rational Atheism and the New Philosophy of the Non-Rational, and already he's making me want to head-desk.
His first argument today is that everyone uses faith - the rational atheist has faith he/she will discover everything with science (we don't, I'm okay with not knowing everything), the irrational-nihilist has faith there is no purpose in the universe (figure that out, having faith in nothing), and obviously the theists have faith.
Garrison’s (deluded) World Pt. 1
After going through the five-part Cosmic Fingerprints series and all its shortcomings, I have stumbled across the semi-intellectual (sounding) Garrison's World at enewschannels.com.
Rather than a confused old-Earth creationist who doesn't get what information is we come across a blithering theologian who seems to write for the pure intellectual masturbation of it (I won't confirm nor deny whether that's my reasons for writing, but I'm sure he's attempting to "reach" people).
His series is entitled "The Irrelevance of Rational Atheism and the New Philosophy of the Non-Rational" and part I is called "The Two Brands of Atheism." I'll also say I found some odd irony with an add for The God Who Wasn't There on the top and an add for the Scientology Video Channel on the sidebar.
