RE: The Achilles Heel of All Religions

in #religion8 years ago (edited)

So true! I agree. But the happy sage Isn't choosing from other people's "claims" but rather is experiencing things for himself. And that experience, being internal, would then be objectively unprovable to others.

I have no issue with people who "believe" based on personal experience, even if that experience cannot be objectively falsified. My issue is with those who believe based upon the unfalsifiable personal experiences of others. In the latter case, there are too many to choose from and no principled means of deciding among them. Faith in any particular one is therefore "blind faith."

And I don't even have a problem with blind faith. My problem is with people who have blind faith but deny it by insisting that their faith is based on objective evidence. There simply is no objective evidence that can support unfalsifiable claims (except maybe Occam's Razor).
